I've been using Reaper live for a couple years now, gradually improving my setup for my needs. The next step is to get more stable processing power- I'm tired of re-tweaking my laptop between Reaper use and everyday use, and I max out RAM and sometimes the main core on my laptop anyway.
I have a good sense of Reaper requirements based on past R&D for my live setup. I ordered a Beelink miniPC to dedicate to audio. There is one Forum user post with a similar version of this brand PC, successfully, but I can imagine there are more users. Anyone else? Looking for affirmation and/or 'how I did it' responses if you encountered problems. Please and thank you!
