Borderline fraud imho and upon my complaints they claimed that was quite a lot for industry standard and I thought 'Wtf? That can't be true.'. they wrote 'up to 128 midi tracks', but they just meant midi without vsti plugins. For my first DAW about a decade ago (iirc it was cakewalk music creator) I paid 50,- Euro and they didn't clearly mention in the product description that it was limited to 8 vsti tracks. Your friend qualifies for the discounted license, so it costs 60$, no limitations. You are an educational or non-profit organization.'.You are an individual or business using REAPER commercially, and yearly gross revenue does not exceed USD $20,000, or.You are an individual, and REAPER is only for your personal use, or.The license price depends on how you use it. I don't think there are any.Ī new license includes free upgrades through REAPER version 7.99. Regarding differences between the versions. If others have other suggestions, it's worth checking them out too, I for sure don't know every DAW there is out there. Reaper is what I know and what I can wholeheartedly recommend for that task.
