Given the delay of 11.5 / 12 and the DAW landscape, I'm expecting something really spectacular. There is already something of a "dump Cubase movement". It's theirs to lose.

Doubt it will all get sorted out in 60 days, but not expecting them to send the agency after me if it takes a bit longer. AFAIK, there are no showstoppers on functionality.

They are quite lenient on that aspect, with the nag, but if you are using it for more than 60 days you are supposed to pay up! Adjusted my post accordingly - "big one for us is ITS FREE FOR A DECENT PERIOD - 60 days evaluation". My main point was when working with a group of people .. cost will always be a factor to get people to buy into something usage wise .. initially and longer term. The least number of barriers to get people onside the better in a group. This of course is where Cakewalk comes into its own, but its PC based and not on MAC .. which is in my case for the band with mac users and pc users the reason I use reaper for band purposes. Outside of that I use Cakewalk as always Edited January 21, 2022 by aidan o driscoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The least number of barriers to get people onside the better in a group. That was a nice thing to do. I understood your point, but unfortunately some folks probably will think that Reaper is free, due to it's open ended "nag" policy. We don't need to be encouraging the intentional breaking of software license terms. And as you said, $60 ain't that much for a DAW with great community support, and frequent updates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
