Cockos REAPER v5.90 / v5.61 WiN MacOSX

Exhaustive and powerful audio editor, processor, recorder, renderer, arranger and mastering solution for multi-track waveform audio content. REAPER has been designed with compatibility with almost all types of hardware in mind, making it simple to use with a huge amount of software solutions and dedicated audio plug-ins of all sorts.

► Do Anything
REAPER's full, flexible feature set and renowned stability have found a home wherever digital audio is used: commercial and home studios, broadcast, location recording, education, science and research, sound design, game development, and more.

► Record
- Record and overdub audio and MIDI. The number of simultaneous recording inputs is limited only by your hardware.
- Record directly to any of a dozen supported audio formats, at any sample rate or bit depth.
- Any track can record audio or MIDI input, or record that track's processed audio or MIDI output.
- Record multiple takes or layers, overdub, punch in and out, or record in a loop.
- Record arm and disarm tracks without stopping playback.
- Record directly to stereo, surround, or multichannel audio files, before or after effects processing.
- Monitor inputs with or without software FX.
- Set up multiple monitor mixes with separate FX processing.
- Tape-style varispeed recording and playback.
- Record simultaneously to multiple disks for redundancy and scalability.

► Produce
- Drag and drop to import, arrange, and render.
- Freely mix audio, MIDI, video, still image media on any track.
- Easily move, split, glue, resize, trim, loop, time stretch, pitch shift, fade, crossfade, slip, snap to grid, without switching tools.
- Intuitive zoom, scroll, scrub, jog, tab to audio transient, MIDI navigation.
- Simple and powerful nested folder system allows group editing, routing, bussing, all in one step.
- Open multiple projects simultaneously in separate tabs.
- Full automation recording, playback, and editing support for track and media item take controls and plug-ins.
- Easily manage tempo, time signature, and varispeed changes.
- Separate audio or MIDI into freely arrangeable takes and lanes for easy comping.
- Easily copy or move regions, to quickly try out alternate arrangements.
- Thorough and flexible multichannel support. Each track supports up to 64 individually routable channels.

► Transform
- Insert almost any third-party audio or MIDI plug-in: VST, VST3, VSTi, DX/DXi (Windows only), AU/AUi (OS X only), JS.
Apply FX in real time, or non-destructively render FX output.
- Real-time network FX processing: use other local machines as an FX farm.
- Includes the JSFX audio and midi plug-in scripting engine, and hundreds of user-programmable effects.
- ReWire (audio and MIDI) any capable application for even more flexibility.
- Automatic plug-in delay compensation (PDC).
- Industry-leading performance and multiprocessor utilization.
- Native bridging and firewalling: run 32-bit plug-ins in REAPER x64, maximize RAM utilization, protect against and recover from plug-in crashes.
- Sidechain any plug-in, even if the plug-in does not natively support sidechaining.
- Real-time pitch shifting, correction, and time stretch. Includes multiple pitch/timestretch engines including Elastique 3 Pro.
- ReaSurround included, for spatial visualization and processing of stereo, surround, or multichannel audio (up to 64 channels).
- Special-use plug-ins to virtualize outboard hardware, manage MIDI signals, stream audio, connect to NINJAM servers, and more.

► Customize
- Thoroughly customizable appearance - change colors, icons, toolbars, layouts, almost anything. Switch between multiple layouts as needed for different tasks.
- REAPER's outboard windows can be shown, hidden, docked, or displayed on a separate monitor. Save and recall screensets for different tasks.
- Almost anything that REAPER can do, literally thousands of actions, alone or in sequence, can be triggered by a keystroke, toolbar button, or external controller.
- Easily extensible. Develop simple macros or complex extensions in Lua, EEL, or Python.
- Deeply extensible. Includes an integrated development environment for composing, editing, and testing ReaScripts.

v5.78 - March 25 2018

+ Envelopes: convert automation items to square points when copy/pasting to mute, tempo, or FX bypass envelope and automation item is not pooled
+ Envelopes: generally prevent curved envelope segments on FX bypass envelopes
+ Free item positioning: automatically reposition media items when first setting a track to FIPM
+ Free item positioning: initial vertical positioning, and action to auto-reposition, follows item creation order, similar to ordering when showing overlapping media items in lanes [t=204127]
+ macOS: support third party applications/applescript inserting media with options e.g. "#NOTAB#START:0.5#LENGTH:360.0#/path/to/file"
+ macOS: update default FX name filtering
+ Multichannel audio: properly name single-channel items after "explode by channel" action [t=203560]
+ Preferences: fix option to create new project tab when inserting media using "open with..." from explorer/finder
+ ReaScript: allow running scripts with restricted permissions via "ReaScript: Run [Last] ReaScript..." actions
+ ReaScript: GetLastTouchedFX() and GetFocusedFX() only succeed if FX is in active project [t=204540]
+ ReaSurround: fix automation of diffusion bias knob [t=201871]
+ Render: increase dither bit width to 1.5 bits [t=202685]
+ Take FX: fix take FX automation timing on media items when start in source is not zero and the FX has latency [t=203863]
+ Tempo map: fix importing initial time signature from MIDI tempo map
+ Track manager: fix enabling/disabling track FX via track manager mouse sweep
+ Track manager: fix selection mirroring when first opening the track manager
+ Tracks: add track height locking
+ VST3: fix forcing a plugin to mono if it supports more than 64 output channels [t=204324]
+ Windows: support third party applications inserting media with options (WM_COPYDATA with dwData=0x100, data e.g. "#NOTAB#START:0.5#LENGTH:360.0#C:pathtofilename")
