Cockos has announced the release of a major update to its digital audio production software featuring a full multi-track audio and MIDI recording, editing, processing, mixing and mastering toolset.
Reaper 7.0 comes with many under-the-hood optimizations and improvements.
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.
New in Reaper 7.0
- Track Lanes: Use lanes to manage takes, layer sounds, assemble alternate track versions, or store playlists. Track lanes can be used as a creative tool, an organizational aid, or both at the same time.
- Swipe Comping: Select the best parts of multiple takes to create one ideal composite take, or multiple alternative composites. A highly flexible new system that supports one-click A/B comparison, customizable crossfades, recording and editing media while comping, and even building comps from other comps.
