I've been asked now and again to go to a local studio to mix and produce with me as an engineer.
I use Reaper a lot, but with v6.0 I wasn't that confident so had to use Ableton.
Using Ableton meant i had to drag in my iMac, Keyboard, Drive and Mouse as the studio only has a PC system.
Just had a thought, that if I used (a portable install) Reaper and my personal configuration and template all on a USB Stick!
i could use this anywhere regardless of Mac/PC?
So if I was fluent in Reaper, and had everything set up, could I save this to a USB portable HD (so I have storage space, as well as the portable Reaper Install), or even a USB stick?
Sorry for the question, but haven't looked at this since a few years back, and it seemed a bit convoluted to do a USB portable install but it maybe easier now?
Also how does it work if I wanted my VST's to appear in another machine, that i'd use within my Reaper template? Is that just not possible with portable installs?
Secondly, if I do the mix and work on Reaper PC, would this load at home on Reaper Mac (on the same drive if its formatted as ExFAT so both systems read write)?
Is Reaper cross-platform in this way between PC and Mac?
thanks for any help!
