Reaper
これ1本でDTM作業が完結します。
とりあえずDTMっぽいことをした実感がすぐに体験できるソフトなので、DTMの取っ掛りに最適です。
市販DAWのSONY ACID MusicStudioとそっくり。
1曲中にVSTなどを大量投下すると、よくフリーズしますので、こまめに保存ボタンを押すことをお勧めします。
REAPER is digital audio workstation software: a complete multitrack audio and MIDI recording, editing, processing, mixing, and mastering environment.
- Record audio and MIDI from multiple inputs simultaneously
- Layer recorded tracks and takes over previous recordings
- Edit recordings in almost any imaginable way
- Hundreds of audio and MIDI processing effects included, or choose from thousands of third-party effects
- All editing and effects are completely non-destructive
REAPER works with almost any hardware and can be used in combination with a vast universe of other software and plug-ins.
Take advantage of REAPER’s full functionality using only your current computer and a microphone, or use REAPER to drive an entire professional recording studio.
REAPER is designed to let you work quickly and creatively, without imposing any artificial limits on what you can do. REAPER doesn’t have track types, busses, tools, or offline processing. If you want to create a drum bus, simply add a track above the drum tracks and press the folder button – the drums will automatically send to the folder, Once you get the drum levels and FX tweaked right where you want them, you can record the folder’s output to non-destructively freeze the drums and move on.
Any track can be a bus, and any track channel can be sent anywhere else. Sends are are breeze: just drag from one track to another. Sidechaining is a breeze: drag a send from the source to the target, select the plug-in knob you want to sidechain, and press a button.
Because REAPER doesn’t have track types, you can use an audio gate to write MIDI triggers right on the same track. Or, render a virtual instrument from MIDI to audio as a new take. You can insert MIDI track controls at any point in the signal chain, to control MIDI pan (or anything else) both upstream and downstream of a MIDI plugin.
Every item has handles for fades, snap points, volume, per-take FX, and more, so you can work intuitively without constantly switching tools or keeping track of what mode the mouse is in.
With Free Item Positioning, you can visually arrange any number of media items vertically within a single track to control how the items crossfade and mix together. All processing is non-destructive, so once you have the perfect arrangement, glue and lock the items until you’re ready to tweak some more.
REAPER’s easy-to-use and sophisticated branching undo system means that you can work with creativity and confidence, knowing that you can get back to any prior state with a mouse click. REAPER can even track your actions right in the title bar so you can always see what you’ve just done.
Native VST plug-in bridging and firewalling allows you to run REAPER x64 with nearly seamless integration of Win32 plug-ins. Or, on any Windows system, firewall VST plug-ins in their own process space to maximize RAM utilization and protect against plug-in crashes bringing down the whole project. A firewalled Win32 VST plug-in can be configured to use up to 3GB of RAM all for itself, without sharing memory space with REAPER or any other plug-in, on any Windows system.
