audioschmaudio Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I have a colleague who uses Reaper. Because it's cheap. And then spends hundreds of dollars on Scripts by nvk, because without those scripts it's not as powerful as he would like it to be. For that money he could have bought Ableton Live in the first place. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricio Campos Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I never used a paid script... actually almost no scripts at all and it covers everything for me. The only additional thing I use is the SWS add-on which is free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made me feel like George Martin! @satya definitely give Reaper a spin. I think you'll love it. BUT if you switch you still have to come back here and post deals! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User 905133 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Interesting. Appeals to the programmer side of me. Quote ReaScript API - Generated by REAPER v7.08 REAPER provides an API (advanced programming interface) for users and third parties to create extended functionality. API functions can be called from a compiled C/C++ dynamic library that is loaded by REAPER, or at run-time by user-created ReaScripts that can be written using REAPER's own editor. ReaScripts can be written in EEL2, a specialized language that is also used to write JSFX and video effect processors in REAPER; Lua, a popular scripting language; or Python, a widely-used programming language. EEL2 and Lua are embedded within REAPER and require no additional downloads or settings, and provide the most REAPER-specific features. Python must be downloaded and installed separately, and enabled in REAPER preferences. Because Python is harder to integrate with REAPER, some UI features are not available when using Python.

Sure, depending on the music you make, you may need a synth VST (and you could use Vital and Surge is the budget is limited), but scripts? There are more free Reaper scripts that one could possibly have time to go through, not to mention that Chat GPT can write Reaper script code ?. You certainly don't need Ableton unless you're collaborating with someone who uses Ableton exclusively. Also, not sure how to beat say this but, the insinuation that Reaper users are broke wannabe Ableton users is a bit elitist IMHO Edited February 7 by Milan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People pay for that stuff instead of taking time to learn it on their own. The rationale is no different when people buy presets of any plugin. 8 versions of Reaper is about equal to Live Max upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy them if they are interesting but there are also numerous free ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
