Just a heads up that this is a very cool looking daw. Not tried it in depth yet, only just downloaded it. Its free to download and evaluate, but they ask you to purchase a £60 license if you continue using the software after that (although it remains unrestricted even if you dont). Does anyone use it?
Im going to be trying it rewired with Reason, mainly for recording guitar.
ill let you know how i get on..

Ive had a quick mess about on it and it seems awesome.
The only downsides i notice so far is there is no midi not quantise feature (so i have to do it by hand), but then again that could be good, i shouldnt really rely on quantise, i should get my timing better!
There seems to be a bigger delay between pressing midi keys and the synth/whatever activating, than on other programs, but that is very likely down to my sub standard PC hardware and imperfect software settings (the options menu is pretty in-depth! not got my head around it all yet, but the reaper forum looks very useful, when i get round to it..) Though other software (Live and Reason) doesnt have this problem on my pc.
Feature-packed yet a very small download, its very quick and easy to try out.
And yes unityunityunity, i will also mainly be sticking with my current set up (live and reason) because i know my way around alot better and im used to it! Much easier for ideas to flow if you dont have to spend ages working out exactly how to do what your trying to do!
