PiPs are WIP (.) but they are some kind of audio (and MIDI) patterns. Reaper has no patterns for audio, not even proper ghosting/pooling system. :/ĭance music is (mostly) based on patterns (afaik). Audio is (sort of) WYSIWYG - while MIDI with its notes. there are soo much possibilities that almost impossible to do (or do quickly AND accurately) with MIDI - just think about setting up a drum sample player from zero (velo zones, outputs, MIDI pattern, etc et) vs dropping the samples on the timeline. im not against MIDI at all, it has its own place, i think. is totally possible, but strongly depends on user's need and workflow. So I'm still searching for something that can flow with my vibe

I didn't find Logic and Cubase useful for that, plus they just felt too slow and complex.

I came from the old Amiga sequencer MusicX, Protracker mod stuff, and then onto some cheap and simple PC stuff like Mboom and Mulab which allows for this kind of workflow.

Still putting it through it's paces, but a lot of things need to be done out of box instead of being immediately obvious I'm not sure if Reaper can do all nested midi stuff yet. So pretty much something that is pretty flexible Plus running a tb303 clone and drum boxes in sync with midi clock to din syncĪnd also have linear audio and midi playing along as well. A bit like analog step sequences of old, with mutiple rows triggering things more than just notes. Staggering them, and having them loop at different bar lengths etc. I'm used to using a lot of midi looped sequences with outboard analog and digital synths and VSTI and what not, and then have them nested in other sequences, almost treating them like samples in a sense. Sorry it's not very specific to reapers function but i hope it's helpful in some small way ) midi wise there's nothing i can't do in reaper that i could with another host. if that is important to you(it's important to me as with techno you can have compressors and filters on almost every track) then it's definitely worth giving it as go. Probably the two big reasons i use reaper is its rock solid stability(perhaps 2 or 3 crashes in a year and usually caused by plugins that don't marry well with reaper) and the fact that i can use way more plug ins than most other hosts before the processor gives in. success can be achieved in all of them, it just really depends on what sequencer/environment suits you.

i have used bidule, fruityloops, reason, podium, logic, cubase, pro tools and now reaper to write in electronic genres. both aforementioned provide some cool plugins and features but with a little hunting around you can find 3rd party plugins that will perform the same or similar functions and can be used with other hosts. you can pretty much make any genre of music with any sequencer package on the market although some like ableton live and reason are specifically marketed for electronic based styles. I think the real question is whether or not reaper suits the way you like to work and to discover this you just need to spend some time with it. Ps: i would add that if you're going to use libraries of samples to get 'the sound' you work as hard as possible to stop them from sounding like 'the sound' so you don't become part of the 95% of generic dross that fills up the market! )īy way of introduction, i successfully use reaper to write techno and various guises of electronica.

Everything else on there is old enough to have been done in Logic 5.5! If you check out the 'kima' track on my myspace page, this was all made using the kit i mentioned above () - it ain't anything special and I'm no uber-producer but you'll hear some funky sludge-tech beats done using a total mixture of audio, VST instruments and outboard synths, all brought together, written and produced in Reaper. I use predominantly Reaper, Shortcircuit (free sampler, very good for making beats and warping samples) and Olga as well as host of guitars, mics and outboard fx to make stuff and although I've not done much electronic/dance music in Reaper (kinda stopped doing it seriously about 3 years ago) when I have made a proper tune it's been a real joy to use. you won't get the immediate hands on tweaky fun that you might get from Ableton or Acid, but there's absolutely nothing stopping you from making any kind of music you want in Reaper, as has been mentioned.
