Dan and John thank you both,

I dl'd Reaper and Noel sent me instructions to make a template to get started. I must say I am BEYOND happy! This could be a true blessing in disguise for me. I love the way it looks, the way the controls are setup and all the features I've seen so far. It's got many similar features to T3 and many things seem just easier to do. I've barely scratched the surface yet but I am LOVING it. Barring some unforeseen major glitch, I think Reaper is for me.


Scott,

I have enjoyed T3 very much and will still keep it on my XP machine. I have MANY mixes done with that. It was my second DAW after Realband and I learned a lot by using it. And yes, I got T3 Ultimate on a no brainer deal for 20 or 30 bucks because the box was mislabeled and I believe that deal sold out in a day. At the same time and for some time afterwards other people were still paying a much higher price on other sites. What I or anyone else paid for it is beside the point.

I think the new owners are just as responsible as Mackie - they made the deal with Mackie. I can't believe they didn't know the details and how it would work out for their customers. And since I read that two of them worked for Mackie and one of them wrote the software, I don't think it's so far fetched that they couldn't have come up with a better solution than what they chose to do. I also read that T4 is shipping with Mackie products now. But that's the deal they decided on so each customer has to decide if that's okay or not.

I was a little freaked out over it all because I'm so used to T3 but I'm totally impressed with Reaper. When the laptop quits, you may want to try it too.

Best wishes,

Josie
