I am a GarageBand/Logic Pro user on MacBook Pro and iPad, but today I downloaded Reaper on recommendation of a jam buddy who is head of a local university AV Production Department. He's an adjunct professor with more than 20 years of professional experience on stage and front of the house live production.
Why Reaper when he uses a MacBook Pro? Simple and customizable, AND modest resource draw on the computer.
"Mike" uses Reaper to record our Thursday night jams. He mixes them down to an polished audio file and then deletes the track files. I wanted to get copies of the Reaper track files to tweak and edit for possible song refinement so I had the full track files copied to an external HDD. And so I downloaded Reaper to download and remix the tracks on my MBPro.
Seems to be a lot of good video tutorials.
Any thoughts?

A year and a half ago, I was looking for a DAW. I tried to dig into Ableton-Live Lite (came with my Scarlett Focusrite) and FL Studio but was overwhelmed by the effort required to get started! As a beginner I needed an easy start. I didn't want to spend more time learning a DAW than learning the guitar.
So I used Audacity and was very happy because the software is very easy to handle. But I was looking for a little bit more. Chris recommended me to try out Reaper. YES! And since then I’ve been a loyal user. It’s so easy to get started, very intuitive and the interface is also very attractive.
And there are a lot of excellent instructional videos on the Reaper website I can highly recommend.
Although there are more demanding DAWs, it’s also possible to do more specific things with Reaper. But so far I’ve remained on the surface and I’m really satisfied. For me it’s a very effective support tool for my guitar playing.
