This is a legacy Wiki
It is not up to date and should be considered deprecated.
However, it is still provided in case it is useful.
REAPER
REAPER is a digital audio workstation: a complete multitrack audio and MIDI recording, editing, processing, mixing, and mastering environment.
The evaluation version of REAPER is complete and uncrippled. There are no artificial interruptions or restrictions, and you can save and load projects normally. REAPER Home Page

The Wiki
Welcome to the documentation Wiki! A Wiki is always a "work-in-progress" and this one is no exception.
This Wiki is created and maintained by the user community (that's you and me) so - please - approach it that way.
If you find the answers you're looking for - brilliant. But if you don't... Don't forget that no one's paid to maintain this - so go find out the answer, experiment, ask in the forum at http://forum.cockos.com and then add the Wiki entry yourself :) You get a lot of benefit from understanding something well enough to document it. Careful though, it's addictive.
Please visit the Contributors portal for editing, help, housekeeping, discussions and more.
