I switched from Protools to Reaper at the beginning of the year and haven't looked back yet. I also have Cubase. Partway into my reaper use I decided to try Cubase to give a "Legitamate"(meaning more expensive) program a try Cubase had so much Drama in getting it set up and running it that I just got tired of slogging around in menus and settings and just wanted to record. Bottom line Reaper just works. It is no drama but plenty of options I have done 2about 4 paying gigs on Reaper and each artist was pleased with the results. If it didn't sound good or kept crashing I would dump it. To this day I have Protools Cubase and Reaper. Reaper is the go to.
