From: Michael Fanning on 4 May 2010 17:02 Hi Martin, I am on the Sonar bandwagon. I am presently evaluating Reaper running it in Vista X64. I like its look and the audio engine seems more efficient than Sonar. But, Sonar 8.5 has many midi editing features I use which seem to be absent in Reaper. Maybe it has them but I haven't had the time to find them. As time goes on I hope to learn more about all the things Reaper can do. I have a question for Reaper experts, is there a midi plug-in equivalent of Cakewalk's midi filter? I use the midi filter plug-in in the track bin and occasionally on separate midi clips for things like transposing, filtering notes and cc controls.

From: Michael Fanning on 5 May 2010 16:48 Thanks Glennbo for that info. After a quick check it looks like that does some of the things I want. Not sure about a note filter useful for those recordings that I want to copy onto a bass track and filter out treble notes. Don't have time to fully explore that now. Got some overtime at work to do the rest of the week. It'll be the weekend before I can get back to it. Thanks!

I was so impressed - she said they were cool to work with. -- Regards, Ted Perlman www.tedperlman.com www.myspace.com/tedperlman www.facebook.com/ted.perlman

Most of my hardware is considered outdated (anything over 6 mos. is these days)but hardware these days outpace software and OS. Reaper is the only app I have that has plugin stability with 64, 32 bit apps. I'm learning Ableton Live. It's unique in some ways but as for a sequencer it can't touch Sonar. |
