4.7.1in two days.

+.1?

Feel for you Bapu, cause we are likely in the same boat if I interpret your post correct like.
 
Reaper Ver 4.7.1 likely out tomorrow if not sooner. with a million esoteric fixes.
 
Problem for dumb guys like me is I can go thru the incredible list of updates and improvements..  Can go thru several feverish upgrades and don't understand a word of anything, and nothing to do with core screw up bugs that have been requested to fix for years and ignored.
 
The clients there on the forums are awesome beyond anything. Way above and out of my league. Reaper seemed to attract a cadre of killer programmers, coders. Me just wanting to plug in a guitar and play.  Check out the pre release forum and the developer's forum to see what I mean. Highest respect for all these warriors. Can't hold a candle to them.
 
Current state of the art, Reaper kills Sonar hands down in the dirt, handling of vsti synths. Open mind, so prove me wrong and I will apologize for my ignorance, accept higher ground. Just what it is.
 
Point here is that the Reaper evolution, daily updates, progresses are as bad as Sonar in the end point. No advantage to the frustrated musician just trying to get the damned thing to work. Chasing death bugs with no response or resolution. Grass ain't any greener on the other side of the fence.

Reaper is an awesome program but it is so configurable that all I do is sit and tweak the program.    Give me PT 11, what you get is pretty much what you get so all you can do is work on projects.   

Reaper for me is pretty rock solid...more so then any of the Sonar X series has been,
more so the Cubase, and any other DAW I use, and the updates have been painless...

My kudos to these guys for staying current, and when you buy you get 2 FULL versions of upgrades
before you pay an upgrade again....and the program is $60 for Personal or Commercial businesses
under $20,000 gross, and just over $200 for full Commercial Licensing.  One my favorite features
is SKINS....I can make it look just about any way I want.  Does it come with a BUNCH of 3rd party
stuff??? NOPE...does it come with a ton of bells ans whistles?  NOPE...does it do the job?  YEP!

Guys,
 
CClary's wisdom here.
 
No crap installed with Reaper. They got an internal synth that is something less than go to,  but that's about it. On purpose stripped down to about a 10 mg installation.
 
Relies intelligently on concrete integration of external programs, and the ability to host them stable, chained, elegant beyond anything available anywhere. Workflow and design is state of the art.
 
If you guys got a better option, please educate me. Far as I can see for the next years, if you are a keyboard player, Reaper rules supreme, not even a close second anywhere. Sonar, Protools, Cubase whatever else... So last century limited...

This is the best ad copy I've read in years:
 
http://reaper.fm/about.php
"If you currently use another DAW, you might be reading this because you're contemplating shelling out $150 for the next overhyped version that doesn't address any of the bugs you've been complaining about for five years while adding a bunch of features you couldn't care less about. What does REAPER have to offer you?"

Mike,
 
My concerns exactly.
 
Individual license is 60$ thru two version upgrades.
 
Good stuff, but from my perspective, where are the fixes for death killer bugs ignored while chasing etheriel tweaks no mortal among us can understand.

Hi John,
 I have to admit, I didn't understand much of your earlier post and I don't really understand this sentence either:
 
"Good stuff, but from my perspective, where are the fixes for death killer bugs ignored while chasing etheriel tweaks no mortal among us can understand."
 
 Please understand that I'm not trying to be difficult, I am actually very interested in trying to understand the idea you are trying to express.
 
 Can you say it again but in way that makes it seem plain as day?
 
 Thanks.
