From: Kraig Olmstead on 2 Feb 2010 20:56 Well, I've downloaded and installed Reaper 3.2.2 x64. I can't get it to record yet and I don't know if it's actually working with my PreSonus Firebox. Just as a precaution I'm reformatting NTFS, though. Seriously, I won't have time to really play with it until next week, which is too bad because I'd like to put down a drum track for a friend of mine.

I got it recording and playing back. Still no time to play with it. I'll need to see if I can take a work laptop with me on my mini vacation, so I can RTFM. I'm curious if the audio engine works in a 64 bit floating point format. That's one really nice thing about Sonar. It makes enough of a difference that even I can hear it.
