And I'm not doing some weird Mac trick on my Windows. And that's the crux of the issue, I can't get Logic because I've invested in Windows. Still Cubase isn't quite as good as Logic. It has features but isn't it always like a separate window? It's a pop up. It always just feels kind of jank and like a stop gap or something, no matter how "nerdy cool" it is with all the customization. I'm probably just going to stick with Reaper but the weird thing is I just feel like I can never really go "all in" with Reaper. It's like driving a cheap Toyota or something. The thing about Reaper is that no matter how good it is, it just never feels particularly enjoyable to use. it seems like a great all in one option for doing more serious production work, I guess. I mean, I want to like it but I'm just like "WTF" because Dorico did the exact same thing. But the audio setup - for some inexplicable reason - is presenting issues that I haven't had a single time with a single other piece of audio software I've used, where it interrupts my audio from other programs. Despite the jankiness.Īnd Cubase on the other hand is this kind of cumbersome thing, no offense to the devs. It works with my interface, it doesn't really crash, it's fairly reliable. I boot it up, and 90% of the time it's just solid.
I don't have that in Cubase which feels and looks very bad with the shortcuts for making tracks, midi regions, and so on.īut Cubase is also more.
It's so cool to customize and I feel so fluent in it, sometimes. But I'm skeptical it's better than Reaper.Īs much as I like Reaper, it's just got this kind of feeling of being janky and ****, and I really do genuinely like it. I've been demoing it and kind of thinking about it because apparently people like it a lot for orchestral production.
