Hey manning1,
Oops, sorry man. I didn't recognize your accent.
Makes sense now... By my passports I'm British and CDN; we have something in common there (even tho I grew up in Toronto).
I got a REAPER license and I think it's a cool app, I've been trying to get rid of my Cubase dependence but Steinberg pulled me back in when they released 4.1.
Will using Powertracks make up for Reaper's (current) sequencing shortcomings? I like the sequencing/groove features in Cubase.
Is an audiowarp/elastic audio-style feature not desirable to you? That's still one of the main reasons I use Cubase.
Please correct me if Justin has already changed the program to encompass these functionalities... It happens when your back is turned, sometimes...
One major Reaper asset is CPU friendliness.
A lot of people are quick to judge REAPER -I was one of them- but dude... for the price the value is immense.
