Jocko Jocko Old Timer Registered: 06/07/11 Posts: 1023 Loc: Kirkcaldy, Fife	I have given up on trying to do anything practical with EnergyXT2. Yesterday I got to grips with Reaper and was so impressed I downloaded the new Reaper 4 and bought myself a licence. I can see myself having lots of questions but I am looking forward to doing some useful work with Reaper. This is a whole new ball game to me, but I am keen to learn. I will keep you informed as to how things go. _________________________ Best tip for budding guitarists. Start playing 10 years earlier!

djm67 djm67 Be Nice (I'm New!) Registered: 04/06/11 Posts: 37 Loc: Dunfermline, Scotland	Hi Jocko I recently discovered Reaper too, It's great. Seems a lot simpler to use that a lot of software out there. I haven't done much with it yet only a small test jam to a backing track I found (link below) but I intend to get back to it. How are you interfacing with your PC? I just connected my guitar cable to my line in socket of the PC, I was pretty surprised with the sound quality to be honest. If you have any tips or tricks let me know and I'll do the same. Dave. http://snd.sc/q2zgn0 _________________________ http://www.youtube.com/user/davejmason?feature=mhee http://snd.sc/q2zgn0

Jocko Jocko Old Timer Registered: 06/07/11 Posts: 1023 Loc: Kirkcaldy, Fife	I use a Behringer UCG102 USB interface which cost me about £30 from Amazon. The benefit if this is the ASIO drivers have low latency so you hear it and record it the moment you play. The problem I found when I used the line-in with Audacity, which I was fiddling with at the time, was that if I recorded a piece then played it back to record next track, the two tracks were out of synch. _________________________ Best tip for budding guitarists.

Noise_Maker Noise_Maker Old Timer Registered: 23/10/07 Posts: 1154 Loc: Usually on the Sofa	Reaper is a fantastic product and oh so very VERY powerful! I've been using it for about 9 months and have hardly scratched the surface. The world of VSTs and VSTi's is amazing if you get in to recording full tracks with 'other' bits n bobs including drums. ASIO is definitely the way forward! _________________________ Guitars: Cort Earth Grand, Cort G250 RMS, Kimbara Strat Copy, Vester Strat Copy (Stage Series), Custom Build LP Style (By Steve Benford), 'Podcaster' Custom Build prize!

Bigger Al Bigger Al Be Nice (I'm New!) Registered: 10/12/10 Posts: 32	Good to see people picking up on Reaper! I still find it amazing that for under £100 you can equip yourself with a fully-functional multi-track DAW and a reasonable audio-digital interface. Obviously you also need a reasonable PC, but even so. I spent £400 on a Yamaha porta-studio back in 1987 and it's like comparing a torch to Blackpool illuminations. Some hopefully useful links: http://www.musicradar.com/computermusic/free-beginner-pdfs-246054 Worth a look. Be warned it can be a bit overwhelming at first - but some good stuff in there. http://www.kvraudio.com/ for excellent plug-in listings and details. http://www.musicradar.com/computermusic/12-reaper-tips-and-tricks-250935 For some Reaper specific stuff
