You can use Reaper for 60 days (I believe) without paying for it. Check it out. It is a absolute bargain at $60. In 2 months you can get pretty deep into it. I paid up within 2 weeks.

You can use it forever without paying, you just get a pop-up when you sign on that you can click off.

Yes, you can as long as you can do so with a clear conscience. The pop up prompt will remind you that using it beyond to "try out" period is a violation of the user agreement.

I paid my $60 and consider it one of the best software values around. I really like their marketing ethic based on trusting the honesty of the end user. That's something that's rare in this day and age and it's good if we can reaffirm their good will marketing efforts.

I agree that we should not promote a means to "use if forever without paying". The pop-up clearly states that Reaper is not offered for free beyond the 60 day trial period.

I agree- I wasn't promoting that people shouldn't pay, just that they are not restricted (where some software cripples itself after the free trial period).

I picked up a used Tascam dp008ex for £70 in excellent condition. The quality of recording is quite phenomenal

I should have read the thread all the way through first…sorry.

I see you want to plug-n-play and mess with it afterwards some. My suggestions were not in that direction

If what you meant by the first question was, "Does Reaper do audio files?", the answer is yes.

To get the Tascam to record, simply turn it on and press the record button after following instructions in the manual for setting up the type of audio files you want to create and turning the input gain wheel up.

Lol

I meant to use it as the computer mic...

And I can't get Reaper to read midi files I already have.. it seems to only read it's own files

I remember when I first started down the road of recording I spent hours reading up on stuff.

Hi CASD57

MIDI files are not the same as audio files. I would not expect a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) to read MIDI files (though some may).

I guess it won't read the exported wave files of Audicity

I'm probably over thinking what I need, I'll probably either buy one of those PreSonus Audiobox 96 studio's For $199 or a Zoom H4 I do think I need to up grade from my Tascam DR 5, the recordings are mainly just for me, for improving in my singing and playing
