Reaper in the house bi&*h! Awesome DAW!

 

So its true, 6 is finally getting the recognition it deserves by getting a dongle and a dvd installer.

 

This would be a nightmare
Dongles are the stick of Satan

 

This totally made my day !
I just installed v6.0rc1 on my macbook retina and at last: sharp texts now in Ruler,Toolbar buttons and Item Labels.
That alone is a huge improvement for me, no more strain on the eyes !
You rock Cockos !

 

I read that new bought license are now 6.0+ even 6.0 isn't really released(except for the Beta)

 

Finding the beta version is a bit hard
google for landoleet

 

Ha! Pfft! Tsk!

Yet another DAW copying Studio One 4.

Can't wait.

 

Reaper beats them all.

 

They ask not to reveal this... We should respect them.

 

and works on Linux, this is huge to me... well done.

 

Oh no, now come on. Nothing works on Linux. You just spend the rest of your life typing in command lines that don't work or do anything.

 

can we try Reaper beta v6 ?

 

Can someone make a torrent of Reaper 6? is too large for file storages.

 

I've gone back to Reaper v1.0 as it's much easier to use.

I agree, audio isn't ready yet but it's solid start. U-he, audiodamge and more started with porting, lot of base code is portable; linux need larger user base to attract more companies

and there's more, just tested it

 

Except for all the silly Windows 98 windows and look and feel that pop up here and there, and the horrible CC editing even with Scripts, TOO MUCH customization!
