There are a lot of factors that go in to making a recording, microphones are
part of it,
how processing is used, or not used, and recording techniques.
You can achieve very good results with the humble 57 or 58 they aren't the best
mics in the world but they are still considered an industry standard and will
do any job passably, where some specialty mics won't do everything decently.
As for reaper, well, though it holds great promise, you've taken a step
backwards in some ways.
A couple folks like our Roy, and maybe Gord to some extent have persisted with
it and managed to get something done with it, it's a very geeky favorite, open
ended and such, but there is no really good development continuing on it for
now as far as access,
some russian guy did that reaccess plug, but it has some issues with
screen-readers.
As far as porting plugs, all the hsc and ahk work that's been done for sonar
plugs won't translate, because the vst plugs show up different with reaper.
Reaper does have the generic more for plugs where all the parameters show up,
much like the inspector does in sonar, but only 4 parameters at a time, there,
but you still won't get important things like loading and saving and other
things.
So you in the wild wild west with reaper.
If it came down to get work done, and especially with midi editing, I'd take
even a older version of sonar over reaper.
But that's just my humble oppinion.
If cakewalk doesn't work with us anymore as far as access, reaper may be the
daw of choice for us for years to come, it certainly is the best bang for the
buck.
But it desperately needs some work, and good documentation, and well, you get
to be a pioneer 'grin'.
I have used reaper and frankly, it frustrated me to no end.
But Roy over there has done complete projects with it.
But you have to remember there has been 10 years of work from two different
packages done with sonar.
Sonar comes with good mastering plugs, and lots of instruments, you get a few
nice things with reaper, but if you need professional tools, with reaper,
you'll have to go buy them or yes you can use reaper's vst rapper to make
sonar's plugs work with reaper, but access is your own baby, no work has been
done.
If enough of my students start using reaper, I may start doing some ahk scripts
for it, but for now, that's not happening.
and the studio is starting to get really busy.
Good luck.

Hello to the List,
Chris and Stephie, thanks for letting me Subscribe. I'll make a big effort
to keep myself under control.
I have just installed Reaper a few days ago and have successfully recorded
some audio. Still over coming my memory of Sonar, and am attempting to find
the same features and effects in Reaper.
Is there a way to harvest all of those Plug Ins found in Sonar 8.5 and bring
them into Reaper?
Also, so I stop chasing this so far elusive goal, when using Sonar, or now
Reaper, it is possible to make a recording sound like some good clean Country
found on the FM Radio?
Equipment has a large impact upon what can be done, especially Microphones.
My humble studio does not have $1500 microphones, more like the Shur 57 and
58, which makes all of my recordings sound like something from the 60's, or
early 70's.
Just recently, I've found filtering out the Highs, or Lows, can improve
things, but it still has some serious Old Fashioned sound.
Is there a less expensive way to cure this, or am I doomed to always sounding
like Herman's Hermits?
