for instance mixdown selection (extended bounce in place in many other DAWs), native slicing of drumloops to a native sampler .Īnd that is where it starts to get complicated. In comparison to S1, Reaper out of the box lacks a lot of basic functionality of features, which are important to me. I’ve had one issue since I started using reaper, and it’s a performance issue with one of the plate reverb plugins which I love the sound of, but has noted problems with cpu spikes - nothing to do with the daw.īut, whatever works best for you - use it. Most of the main daws now offer similar functionality IMO, the key differentiator is stability - a lack of which is a killer for the creative process.

I acknowledge that may have changed with v4. I’ve used Studio One - although not v4 - and it’s a fine daw, but it suffered from the curse afflicting so many other drop outs, bugs, and occasional performance issue. Like other daws you need to understand where to find the menu option, shortcuts, and actions to achieve what you want - but that’s part of the process of using a new tool. I really don’t get the learning curve issue with Reaper for the vast majority of the tasks I would undertake on a day-to-day basis - but maybe that’s to do with the type of music I’m making.Ĭoming from other daws, I found it fairly easy to get used to. The best one is the one that allows you to make the most music. Reaper is not a flower to be picked but a mountain to be climbed but most of us here are not happy with flowers and have to get to the top of the mountain. The customization is obviously the power of Reaper and for anybody who has demands that go beyond simple recording there really isn't any other system out there that offers such an incredible level of customisation. Sure Microsoft Access is much easier to get going for making a database but after a while once you start to really use it and begin asking it to do harder tasks it won't be able to. I think of Reaper as like the difference between Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server. If Studio One does everything you need and you don't see yourself ever needing to expand then go for it. (while the majority will claim about the CPU problems S1 got before.) I am looking for some insights, which I missed perhaps so far.Īnd in my opinion the best source are people who did the move for some special reasons. I know Studio One too, but perhaps 50% of my knowledge of Reaper. I own Reaper since long time and know it quite well. What were special reasons for you leaving a great DAW behind and go with Reaper.ĭo I miss something, which can lead into a trap when diggin deeper into S1?
Nevertheless is Reaper still a tad ahead when it comes to it´s flexibility and the mouse modifiers are great.
Old issues were ignored and more and more nerd stuff implemented, and the new direction turning everything into a second class Vegas clone doesn´t help neither.
#Studio one vs reaper update#
Tbh, in the last few years Presonus was for me one of the most innovative DAW company if not the most innovative one.Įvery update brought great new features and a well done implementation while Cockos fell more and more behind, having had a great start, turned all new implementation more and more into a meh. musicloop and audioloop export/import are great, preset management for native and 3rd party plugins is exemplary, chord. including browsing exiting projects and be able to import, tracks, fx, complete structures. everything is very useable out of the box.
#Studio one vs reaper pro#
The provided instruments especially the ImpactXT and SampleOne with their native integration are a big pro for me too, as are the integrated fx.
No offense here against Reaper neither although if listing my personal pros and cons got Reaper more and more hard times here.įor me, Studio One is a lot more "ready to use" for both GUI and functionality. but I got really my difficulties to decide between these 2.
