REAPER is a digital audio workstation: a complete multitrack audio and MIDI recording, editing, processing, mixing, and mastering environment. Using your current computer and no other software, you can import any audio and MIDI, synthesize, sample, compose, arrange, edit, mix, and master songs or any other audio projects. If you add a hardware audio interface of your choice (AD/DA: analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog) and a microphone, you have a complete recording studio, suitable for recording anything from a soloist to a band to an orchestra (even if the orchestra is just you).REAPER converts your computer into the full power of any top-of-the-line recording studio. Minus, of course, a room full of shockingly expensive converters, microphones, amplifiers, and, well, talent. If you are a top-of-the-line recording studio interested in REAPER, this part of the discussion has probably insulted your intelligence.
So we’ll just say that unlike some other DAWs, REAPER will support almost any existing audio interface, even interfaces manufactured by companies whose software does not allow you to use any other hardware interface.
Nondestructive multi-track recording means that you can record and layer take after take, correcting, editing, revisiting, and tweaking to your heart’s content. There are inexpensive audio interfaces designed just to plug guitars in to, and there are very fancy audio interfaces designed to convert many simultaneous line and microphone inputs.
REAPER is designed to let you work quickly and creatively, without imposing any artificial limits on what you can do. REAPER doesn’t have track types, busses, tools, or offline processing. If you want to create a drum bus, simply add a track above the drum tracks and press the folder button – the drums will automatically send to the folder, Once you get the drum levels and FX tweaked right where you want them, you can record the folder’s output to non-destructively freeze the drums and move on.
Fast, Powerful Editing:
• Drag and drop to import, arrange, and render
• Freely mix audio, MIDI, video, still image media on any track
• Easily move, split, glue, resize, trim, loop, time stretch, pitch shift, fade, crossfade, slip, snap to grid, without switching tools
• Intuitive zoom, scroll, scrub, jog, tab to audio transient, MIDI navigation
• Simple and powerful nested folder system allows group editing, routing, bussing, all in one step
• Full automation recording, playback, and editing support for track controls and plug-ins
• Easily manage tempo, time signature, and varispeed changes
• Separate audio or MIDI into freely arrangeable takes and lanes for easy comping
• Easily copy or move regions, to quickly try out alternate arrangements
Plug-in Support:
• Insert almost any third-party audio or MIDI plug-in: VST, VSTi, DX, DXi, AU (OSX only), JS
• ReWire (audio and MIDI) any capable application for even more flexibility
• Fully automatic plug-in delay compensation (PDC)
• Sidechain any plug-in, even if the plug-in does not natively support sidechaining
• Apply FX in real time, or non-destructively render FX output
• Real-time network FX processing: use other local machines as an FX farm
64-bit ReaPlugs Suite:
• Unlimited multiband EQ with draggable nodes
• Graphical FFT EQ/dynamics processing
• Technical and multiband compression
• Flexible, open-format convolution reverb
• Real-time pitch correction, with Elastique 2 Pro built in
• Multitap delay, basic synthesizer, sample player, vocoder, algorithmic reverb, and more
• Special-use plug-ins to virtualize outboard hardware, stream audio, connect to NINJAM servers, and more
• Includes the JS audio and midi plug-in scripting engine, and hundreds of user-programmable effects
Intangibles:
• REAPER starts and loads fast – be ready to record in just a few seconds
• Portable – put REAPER in your pocket and run it from a USB key or other removable media
• Tightly coded – installer is only a few MB, updates can be installed in less than a minute
• Rapid, efficient development – new features and optimizations are added quickly and often
• Very active, enthusiastic, and helpful user forum, get help quickly
• Fantastic and readable user-created manual
• An honest business model that aims to provide the best possible user experience
Changes in REAPER 4.14 – December 18, 2011:

o see Help/HTML lists/ReaScript documentation for more information
o better error reporting
o more flexible Python support, should work with almost any version of Python on any platform
o set current script directory as start of path (look for modules there first)
o support for importing one ReaScript module into another
o support for setting a custom external editor for .py files (Preferences/External Editors)
* MIDI:
o improved merging of multiple MIDI sources (glue, receives, record output)
o looped overdub recording fix for crash bug (issue ID 3807)
* MIDI editor:
o actions to remove trailing (or all) notes of less than a certain length
o fixed odd behavior when option enabled to snap notes to the left
* Mouse modifiers:
o adjust envelope bezier curvature for all selected points at once
o fix for painting a straight line of notes over an existing note
o select all MIDI notes touched while dragging (ctrl+alt+right-drag by default)
* ReaTune:
o new instances on per-take FX will operate in item-space rather than in project-space
o resizable user interface, many UI improvements
* Theming:
o button overlay images now inherit scaling attributes from the underlying button image
o WALTER added reaper_version (example: 414) and mcp_maxfolderdepth
* VST:
o allow loading of OSX GRM plug-ins version 3.1.1 or higher (earlier versions crash)
o fix for occasional blank UI for Celemony plugins
* Audio Units: improved support for plug-ins that use unordered parameter IDs
* Envelopes: added option to not show affected envelopes when moving items across tracks
* Grid navigation: fixed for ts changes and larger grid divisions
* JS: updated IX effects
* Media buffering: option for lower buffer size when per-take FX open (to reduce visual lag)
* Media explorer: option to go to next item at end of preview
* Media item fades: optional handles for editing fades when the media item is small
* ReaScript/API: fix for getting track mute and selected state
* Regions: improved handling of envelopes when moving/copying regions
* Ripple editing: improved handling of envelope points, MIDI items, tempo changes when removing time
* Ruler: improved display relating to time signature markers and tempo ramps
* Tempo maps: improved tempo map editing behavior
* Time maps: fixed snapping bugs with ramped tempos and varying time signatures
* Video: improved video frame display speed when seeking
