I have been so impressed by Reaper's performance and functionality, I have permanently made the switch from using Jeskola Buzz for 10 years to only wanting to use Reaper.
First a little praise about Reaper's CPU performance. Wow! Talk about inspiration. I had a intel core 2 duo 2ghz machine for the last 4 years and I had pushed it to the max inside of Buzz within minutes without fail, having to bounce and render things down... killing the fun. I tried Reaper on a whim and it was if I could see no end to the amount of VSTs and FX I could run live without Bouncing down to tracks. Literally I was able to run 3-5 times the amount of stuff live without any hiccups. This of course allowed me to feel free! And for that feeling... I LOVE REAPER!
Here is the first song I have created inside of Reaper and I have learned a lot so far about this new program that I can only dream of where to go next on my new i7 machine.

Cheers to the Reaper community and developers!
