“How do you know someone's a Reaper user?” the joke goes. “Don’t worry, they'll tell you.” For most people in music or audio production, the closest they’ve come to the DAW is interacting with an impassioned - some may say rabid - Reaper user extolling its virtues unasked in a message board or comments section.
“Perhaps that all Reaper users are extremely evangelical about it?” answers Justin Frankel, the founder of Cockos, the company behind the DAW, when asked what people might be getting wrong about his software. “Yes, there are plenty of Reaper users who go post about how great it is online but the vast majority are quietly using (it) to make their content.”
