You may now return to your regularly scheduled programming. It exists now in the bleeding edge SVN sources, but I need a stable version for my studio, hence I have not tested that branch. That one was begun in Reaper as a demo for a student and completed in Ardour.įinally, given the cost of Ardour (US$0.00) and the relatively low cost of Reaper (and its makers' excellent policy of providing an unhindered demo), I say "Try 'em both and then stick with what works best for your music and sound production purposes".ītw, MIDI will appear in Ardour3. Enjoy 'em or not, they're all done with Ardour and other Linux audio tools, except for the Improvisation. I care only tangentially about the tools a man uses to build his house, I care about the work. Ardour is a champ in my studio, and I truly hope that Reaper is the same for you in yours. Long experience has also taught me that comparisons like this are more than a little odious and almost always devolve into fanboy flamewars. I'm currently on 2.2, with VST support on my JAD box and 64-bit support on my 64 Studio box. One man's "intuitive" is another man's pain in the ass, and I try to avoid using the term when reviewing software, casually or professionally. I've never had that problem, but again, I think I know the app better than you do (and I'll bet you know Reaper a lot better than I do).Īlas, "intuitive" is one of those buzz-words that's supposed to mean something importantly definite when we're really just saying "I like it and it's easy to use for me". I also find I get very confused trying to make busses and aux fx with ardour, it just doesn't seem very intuitive. If there is no other way I may just have to break down and set up this machine as a dual boot, but I hope I can get this.
#ARDOUR VS REAPER MAC HOW TO#
Any idea on how to change this so I can use all 16 at once in reaper? I will use ardour to track if I need to but I love reaper so much I really don't want to switch. I am assuming it will be the same with the phonic mixer. It is recognizing the firepod and uses its inputs and outputs, but reaper itself only allows 2 in 2 out. I have my firepods working with jack and they were working well with ardour, but I can't get reaper to show more than 2 inputs and outputs.
I have 2 presonus firepods that I use for I/O, as well as a phonic helix firewire mkII that a bandleader just bought. So, I have reaper running under wine/ wineasio (THANKS WOOT!!!!!!), and though it is a little more sluggish it is not too bad.
#ARDOUR VS REAPER MAC WINDOWS#
I'd like to stay away from windows if at all possible. I bought a new laptop this week (a refurbushed ibm t41) that is running ubuntu. Sorry to sort of hijack, but it is somewhat related. One thing is for sure, there's never been a better time to be using these tools. Maybe you should try them both, and draw your own conclusions, based on your own workflow.
It's fast, quick, and powerful, and does what is says on the tin, as well as a much deeper layer of tools, and features. I wish them well.īut strictly imho, there's little that touches Reaper out there for the workflow i use. Ardour is onto version 2, and they seemed to be cruising along a pretty busy development period with the advent of vst as a compile option. I use a lot of midi,so common sense dictates i use a programme that has a bigger percentage of midi features. I find Reaper to be outstanding in wine,with no performance degradation at all. Threads like this are usually a bit of a flame trap, but staying objective, each to their own.
#ARDOUR VS REAPER MAC PROFESSIONAL#
I've never used Ardour but is there something that Reaper offers a professional that possibly Ardour does not? I've just read a thread on a Linux blog about how great Ardour is and I was curious as to how Reaper compares to Ardour? In particular, why do people go through the troubles of using Reaper under wine as opposed to just running a native Linux application such as Ardour?
