REAPER
REAPER (Rapid Environment for Audio Production, Engineering, and Recording) is a digital audio workstation, MIDI sequencer, and video editing software application created by Cockos. The current version is available for Microsoft Windows (XP and newer), macOS (10.5 and newer), and Linux. REAPER is capable of processing industry-standard audio and video media formats and is a compatible host for 32-bit and 64-bit plug-in formats such as VST and AU.
REAPER development is led by Justin Frankel, who also created Winamp and the Gnutella peer-to-peer file sharing network. A preview was released in 2005 and the first official shareware release was in August 2006, with a download size of only 2MB and a "huge feature set, incredibly low price and surface simplicity".
Version 2.0 (October 2007) included a more sophisticated user interface, an extended mixer, and the ability to save and load screen layouts. This update also added the Zplane Elastique 2 algorithms for enhanced time-stretching and pitch shifting, supported Windows and Mac OS, and remained compact enough to run off a USB memory stick.
Version 3 (2009) added nested tracks, plugin controls in the mixer, VCA grouping, and enhanced automation and MIDI features.
Version 4 (2011) continued Cockos' reputation of "listening and involving their user base with frequent updates, beta versions and forum discussion" while adding features such as automatable pitch shift envelopes, multichannel setups such as quad, 5.1, 7.1 and 9.1, improved project management, and window arrangement customization.
Version 5 (2015) added video editing capability, automation of individual effect parameters, enhanced scripting, and VST3 support.
Version 6 (2019) introduced Retina, HiDPI, and Metal display support for higher resolution and faster screen redraw, FX plugin embedding for faster workflow, MIDI CC envelope automation, a graphical patchbay, and performance improvements for projects with 200+ tracks.
Version 7 (2024) added support for track lanes, swipe comping, up to 128 channels of audio per track, and 128 buses for MIDI routing with unlimited audio tracks.
