New user coming from Samplitude.

Hey Gang! Just thought I'd say hello. I'm coming from Samp 9 pro and I've decided that the upgrade schedule/cost just doesn't make sense anymore. I have always kept an eye on Reaper and have finally decided to give it a whirl. Any tips from the other converts from Samp that would make the curve a little less steep? Anything I will really miss? In my research, I have found that Reaper can both author CDs and do object editting so that's it for me. I'm looking forward to the journey. Thanks

Have never worked with samplitude, but welcome anyway! ;) As for what you'll miss... probably you will miss some things indeed, but surely you'll find many others that are all new and exciting, and definitely easier to use!

G'day redddog and welcome aboard :) Tips? Well, with REAPER you'll find the answer to many of your questions will begin "right click and ...." Also, take the time to get your head around first REAPER's routing and then its channel splitting capabilities. This might not be easy at first, but it is where much awesome power is to be find. Finally, so much of REAPER is about customization - keystrokes, macros, menus etc. I think you will enjoy the journey! ;)

I still use Samplitude (version 6), I have only used Reaper for about the last week, so way too new to give you any tips. There are samplitude things I miss, but I am sure Reaper will do them, I just haven't found them yet. For one thing, I like the tool in Samplitude that lets me draw volume envelopes on an audio track - I use it a lot. I also like the way Samplitude uses its mixer to allow me to create files that are specific mixdowns of certain tracks - like say to create a stereo tom mix in the mixer, and then create a single stereo file of it. As of right now, I am still exploring, and I have Samplitude set so it's my audio editor inside Reaper. You know the single thing I am missing most? The way Samplitude lets me maximize the view of a single track. I haven't found that in Reaper, and I'm not sure it's there.

Welcome, as a former Samplitude user myself, I can say that I have found Reaper to be a superb piece of software that has met my needs in fine fashion.
