REAPER is unlike any other DAW, and many of its real strengths and capabilities lie just below the surface and hidden from the eye of the average user. This book lifts up the lid on REAPER and takes its readers deep down on a road to discovering the real power of this incredible DAW software for recording, editing and mixing audio and MIDI. Among other topics, it shows readers how to get the best out of REAPER's supplied plug-ins, how to use the program's unique channel splitting and routing capabilities to best advantage and how to customize the program to make it really fly - and responsive to the reader's individual needs.
