Sorry to hear about your misfortune, I hope things get better.

 

Anyone in here moved from Cubase to Reaper?

 

midi-man,
now everything has some changes, some of them good, other - bad, but...it is life)
years ago I worked on FL Studio 7-10 versions and Cubase SX3 - 5, a bit Samplitude 7...but now: REAPER 5 and RX Advanced 4/5, a bit Sequoia 12-13 and some others (very rarely) such as Studio One Pro3, Mixbus 3....But REAPER is my go-to. NO LIMITATIONS! It is first, and second there are super stability, full support of 99,95% software, extremely rare crashes, simplicity (but full customization, scripts etc. can make it extremely PRO and DIFFICULT if you want). MIDI was bad and difficult to use, but it is actual for earliest REAPER up to version 3, now it is version higher than 5 and all has been improved to more than "almost ideal", plus a lot of things still gets better and better. There are built-in bridge, VST3 support, video, API, scripts, Lua, IDE, extensions, themes, FULL CUSTOMIZATION, blah-blah many shit you want are there, soon - note editor. If there're no things you want - look thru the forum or write them, maybe soon it will be implemented.
I see no any point to jump from REAPER5 to any other DAW, even if it is CUBASE MEGA PRO 12.5 from the year 2023 or Studio One 8 Pro :D

I am a Cubase pro 8 registered user I used Cubase 5 up till 8.. I have been using Reaper more and more and I am finding it's very stable, extremely fast, VST bridge it so sweet. Also I can not understand why Cubase 8 need that stupid Areo Glass and Reaper does not.
This was not to pick on anyone just wanted to get feelings on people who used Cubase.

 

Damn, every day it's harder not to try in depth Reaper... but knowing myself (I'm a geek who develops soft for a living) I'd end writing ReaJS plugins and macros instead of making music

 

v5.12pre16 - January 17 2016
# IDE: UTF8 fixes

 

Yes sometimes it's very easy to get side tracked. Since you are a developer maybe you can please explain why Cubase 8 needs Areo Glass to work yet Reaper does not? I have no issues with plugins placement as I have been told by others that is the reason Cubase 8 needs it.
I am and IT guy but not a programmer. Thanks for your assistance..

 

No clue. I've never tried Cubase. I suppose design is important for Cubase marketing guys. But it's not that Aero Glass eats so much resources if you've a decent graphics card, which almost all Cubase 8 users has. Anyway it should not be a requirement, that's for sure.

Guys! What do you think?
Should I stop posting in this thread about REAPER5 updates? Is this thread useful for you and all the users here?

 

Man, if you see my ratings about this thread you've got my answer.

 

Thank you so much, Revirau, for your support.
