Question Reaper and Pro Tools 8?

Can you use Reaper with Pro Tools 8 if using ReWire?

A quick ? Shane... Did you ever do up an interface for Reaper that was similar to using PT? If so, care to steer a fellow there?

Peace!

That's the ugly reality I'm dealing with. Learning a new DAW.

No problem. I actually tweaked this one a bit more to my liking. I think Romi did a decent job though.
I think editing in Reaper can be quite similar to PT if you set up the keymap properly (maybe even better?). I'm sure Shane's map will make it very easy for Toolers to switch over.
...and he's such a generous guy that's MORE than willing to share!

I am using a mixture of PT mostly "focus mode" shortcuts, my own "Actions" based on my work flow and the rest is just the original REAPER key map. I do not intend to copy the whole PT key map into REAPER. It doesn't make sense. REAPER has its own features that are impossible to recall in PT (and vice versa).


Creating "Actions" (macros) in REAPER is easy and... fun, when you see everything working the way you want.

I absolutely agree with Shane's "main list" of REAPER's advantages.
I started the REAPER adventure after PT8's disappointment (CPU Usage issues). First in ReWire mode.
Now, 95% of my work is done in REAPER, only.
Installs in seconds; no junk in the registry!; starts up in seconds; flexible UI (mine is totally different then the default); flexible keymap (mine - very much different than the default); multi-audio-format in the same session; several projects open (in tabs) in one session (allowing comparison of several different mixes or copying and pasting fragments of different projects without endlessly closing and opening them); VST(i) world - wide open !; rendering/boucing (MIDI-audio, audio-audio in almost any possible format); routing - yeah, Shane, you're right: insanely simple and flexible !; a track is a track - only the user decides what's gonna be on it: MIDI, audio (of any kind), VI's, EFX, whatever... you can mix it up together - the track stays the same; etc, etc, etc...

... Just my 2 cents

This is the actual zip file after I corrected it on Reaper forum:

Half done. Porting over most of the shortcuts so I could work fluently in both apps was first priority.
