REAPER

About

REAPER is a complete digital audio production application for computers, offering a full multitrack toolset for audio and MIDI recording, editing, processing, mixing, and mastering. It supports a wide range of hardware, digital formats, and plugins, and can be extensively extended, scripted, and modified. Its feature set and stability have made it suitable for commercial and home studios, broadcast, location recording, education, science and research, sound design, and game development.

REAPER includes a full set of features in a single version with no artificial limitations, and it can be evaluated in full for 60 days. A license is affordably priced and DRM-free, and a REAPER 7 license includes free updates through version 8.99, typically released every few weeks with bug fixes and feature improvements while preserving preferences and configurations.

Key features highlighted on the website include multichannel audio and MIDI routing, 64-bit internal audio processing, support for thousands of third-party plugins (including VST, VST3, LV2, AU, CLAP, DX, and JS), and version 7 additions such as Track Lanes, Swipe Comping, and FX Containers with parallel routing.
