People also talk about the sound engine of Cubase, even Hans Zimmer also said something similar that he could instantly recognise if the track was done in Cubase but I can't comment - I am just a hobbyist. I don't know if there is any other thing which cannot be done in Reaper. But you can download BRSO articulate for this purpose. Now the midi editing, I think it is the articulation map where Cubase really stands out. By the way what particular midi programming(s) are you on about? Reaper is like the information scattered here and there and you have to grab what is suitable for you. I can say that yes it is rather good for orchestral work and midi programming once you get used to of it's workflow. Purchased Reaper not so long ago after thoroughly examining it (for around 15 days) to see whether it is suited for orchestral work or not.

I'd find it hard to change now, simply because of the shear customization I have. But then I don't use loops so that's not a problem for me. My biggest gripe is that Reaper is not track based, but I get around that by using full song midi items which essentially makes it track based. I came from Cakewalk and Sonar and had a little trouble at first, but once I got a better grip on how Reaper works, I have few complaints. There are those that will say it's not as good as Cubase, but I've never had Cubase so I don't really know. One of the benefits of Reaper is it's customization abilities, and I've got mine highly customized. I do a lot of midi including some orchestra stuff, and I get along pretty well with it. I have: Kontakt EWQL (Choirs, hollywood, symphonic and voices of passion). Is reaper recommended for this kind of work? How is midi editing on Reaper? good as cubase?

I'm interested because i see 5.20 version with a notation built in software! This is amazing!īut.

Hello guys! What do you think about Reaper to make orchestral music? Is it better than ableton live to do this?
