Default protools 11 and reaper

Just wondering if someone can help me. I have downloaded Reaper but it does not show up as a plugin within protools 11. That's why I bought it. Any thoughts? I'm running Mac maverick. Do I need to download rewire or is that part of the program? Help Help

regards David

You bought Reaper to run under ProTools?

Reaper is not a plugin !! Reaper is a full fledged DAW just like Protools is.

You might be able to run reaper inside protools via rewire or something like that ( i could be completely wrong about that ) but i haven't ever done anything like that.

I only use reaper as it does everything i need plus more !

Plugins for protools have to be rtas or aax or tdm, i think you can also run vst plugins via a wrapper of some sort.

Oh, dear! One of the reasons there is a 60 day trial offered is so you figure out if it is for you or not.
Still, all is not lost.
Welcome to reaper.
This forum is an incredible resource for anyone who wants to learn reaper, as is the free download of the user manual and of course there are countless free (and paid) video tutorials scattered about the web.
have fun!

When you bought pro-tools 11 did you try to run it inside Cubase? Surely someone who owns pro-tools knows the difference between a DAW and a Plug-In? Perhaps you saw somebody using both Pro Tools AND Reaper and was switching between them and you got confused!

Very funny... If you're somehow not actually trolling, Reaper is a full DAW app and actually one with considerably more advanced features and performance than Protools!

You'll find a lot of people around here who have upgraded from Protools HD to Reaper.

Ollie's got the links right there for you. There are in fact a lot of Protools users who use and appreciate Reaper as a VST host via rewire.

Pro Tools users can run Reaper in rewire to get access to VST in windows and some of the other amazing Reaper features. I'm confident this is what David was asking about although he never posted again ( I wonder why .. ? ).

I had trouble getting Reaper 5.40 to show up as a Rewire client in Pro Tools 12. The fix for me was to delete this file >> C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\Avid\Pro Tools\InstalledAAXPlugIns << When I re-opened Pro Tools "Reaper" was now in the list of instruments. Here's some additional tips for other Pro Tools users ..

*BEFORE YOU TRY AND REWIRE* - open Reaper in stand alone, and make sure you're able to see the vst plugins you'd like to have access to first. For me, Reaper very often crashes scanning plugins, so if you are doing this setup for the first time it's quite likely that you'll have to spend some time seeing what plugins make Reaper crash scanning plugins. I went into windows and removed (with .zip backup) VST3 plugins, I also added a custom path in Reaper to all my Native Instruments plugs. It took a few tries but I was able to quickly get Reaper scanning plugs well and opening just fine. Now you're ready to make Rewire work .... Open Pro Tools first , then open Reaper , you should see "Reaper" as an available instrument insert. If it doesn't show up see my fix above.

Hope this helps ..
