Editing Facilities Realtime fading, crossfading, and auto-crossfading of items Multi-layer undo/redo with history window (works on all project settings including edits, routing, plug-ins, etc) Pitch shifting and time stretching per item Arbitrary item grouping Tab to transient support Highly configurable editing playback behavior (autoseeking to audition edits, etc) Ripple editing (in one track or in all tracks) Grid/snap support with highly configurable options Supports multiple time signatures and tempos per project Markers Regions, ability to move/copy regions (and all of their contents) Multiple takes per media item Project playspeed control/envelope support (equivilent of changing tape speed, fully automateable) Optional Smooth Seeking (at marker/region or end-of-measure), for easy previewing of transitions MIDI Editing Floatable, dockable MIDI editors Piano roll view with highly configurable snapping Drum editing view MIDI event list editor Mass event properties modification with optional relative adjustments Non-destructive quantization Swing quantization Legato action Delete doubles action Per-note velocity handles Fully resizeable velocity/pitch/CC lane MIDI input quantization MIDI overdub/replace recording MIDI editors transports can be synched to master or independent Plug-in Support Flexible FX chains allow unlimited FX per track* Network FX support -- run FX on spare machines on your local network Automatic plug-in delay compensation (PDC)** Easy manipulation of FX via drag and drop or cut and paste Save/load FX chain to disk, can set a default track chain Envelopes for FX parameter automation FX parameter automation recording MIDI learn for FX parameters Supports VST/VSTi plug-ins: Support for 64-bit double precision plug-ins Support for plug-ins that output/process MIDI Support for tempo synchronized plug-ins Supports DX/DXi plug-ins Supports ReWire devices Supports inserting external hardware as plug-in FX, with automatic delay compensation Supports (and includes) user-programmable JS effects Customizability Track and project template support User creatable color themes Customizable icon themes User assignable and changeable hotkeys, with multiple actions per key support (macros) Extensive behavior options for letting users of other software adapt quickly Mixer, transport, media explorer, undo history, routing matrix, performance meters can be either docked, hidden, or undocked Template support to make it easy to load a project template and save it as a new project when you begin. Options for automatically backing up project files to alternate paths, timestamped versions, etc. JS FX can be edited and/or created on the fly, during program operation/playback/recording Compatibility Extensive rendering and consolidation options for easy export to other applications Support for a large number of industry standard file formats Vegas and Samplitude EDL text import/export Supports reading IZ RADAR backup and session files. System Requirements Minimum system: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista/WINE with 128MB RAM, 10MB free disk space, 800x600 in 256 colors or higher, Windows compatible sound hardware Recommended system: Windows 2000/XP with 1GB RAM, >1GB free disk space, 1280x1024 in 16.7M colors, ASIO sound drivers Bundled Effects ReaGate: a sidechain-capable noise gate with lookahead and hysteresis controls. ReaGate can also send MIDI events on gate open/close, for triggering samples/etc. ReaComp: a sidechain-capable configurable compressor with lookahead, configurable knee size, optional feedback mode, and configurable RMS window. ReaComp can be tweaked to sound like many popular hardware and software compressors. ReaXComp: an unlimited multiband compressor with configurable attack/release, ratio, knee size, feedback mode, RMS window and more per-band. ReaXComp provides a fast and clean interface for the abusive squishing of audio. ReaEQ: a fast, configurable EQ, with support for any number of many kinds of filters. ReaFIR: an FFT-based EQ and dynamics processor. ReaFIR can perform as an EQ, but can also do very powerful per-band compression, noise removal, and gating. ReaVerb: a convolution reverb that lets you synthesize, load, and manipulate reverb impulses on the fly. ReaVerbate: a simple and efficient algorithmic reverb. ReaInsert: enables inserting outboard hardware (FX or MIDI synthesizers) as if it was an effect plug-in. ReaStream: allows sending of audio and/or MIDI over local network segments to other instances of REAPER. ReaPitch: a n-voice pitch shifting plug-in that supports all of REAPERs pitch shift modes (including elastique Pro!) ReaDelay: a tempo-synchable n-voice delay plug-in with volume, pan, feedback, filters, and bit-reduction per delay. ReaVoice: a MIDI controlled multi-voice pitch shifter ReaVocode: a vocoder ReaNINJAM: connect to NINJAM servers from within REAPER! ReaTune: a very fast and accurate instrument/vocal tuner, with automatic and manual correction options ReaSamplOmatic5000: a simple but powerful MIDI sampler that can be used for both drum triggering and as an instrument. ReaSynth: a tiny sine/square wave soft synthesizer ReaSynDr: a tiny "oldschool" style drum synthesizer Many JS effects, including: M/S encoder/decoder, delay, distortion, parameteric EQ, guitar amp simulation, chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, pitch shifter, and more! An evaluation version of Schwa Spectro, an immensely powerful realtime spectral editor. * Subject to hardware limitations ** Except with certain input monitoring+latent FX routing combinations
