Reaper Reviews

SoX mentions (24)

• Modifying dictation service to extract raw microphone audio

  To get the WAV file, some of the ways are using sox and running the command sox -e signed-integer -b 16 -r 16k -c 1 out.raw out.wav, or writing a python script using the wave library. Source: 10 months ago

• Wave Cutter and Splicer

  Also sox can be handy for just audio. You can't beat ffmpeg in general, finding the right command options and testing can take time but with any of them it's worth building up your toolkit. Source: 11 months ago

• Command-line tool for assembling audio clips?

  SoX is great for 99% of command-line audio work. The documentation can be tough to follow (and sometimes just missing or wrong), but once you wrap your head around the syntax and chaining effects together it is impressive what you can do. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any good resample DSP to use for FLAC to Opus?

• if you had 30 seconds to say something to the entire world. what would you say?

  For no good reason, this prompted me to attempt to write a function in Bash which takes advantage of SoX to snap recorded audio to a desired length by speeding up or slowing down as needed. Source: over 1 year ago

  I'm a big fan of Reaper (reaper.fm). It's technically not free, but $60 is totally worth it, plus you can trial it full featured, indefinitely. Source: 6 months ago

  If you use the Linux port, you may want to use Yabridge to load Windows VSTs in a transparent way. http://reaper.fm/ https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Where do I start designing my own audio for my games?

  My recommendation would be Reaper from reaper.fm Reaper is used in the video game industry due to it's customization, routing, batch processing and scripting capabilities. It's very customizable and has small CPU footprint. Source: 10 months ago

• I use Vegas Pro 14 mostly for audio editing, should I upgrade to Vegas Edit or Vegas Pro?

  Audio only? Don't torture yourself. Reaper's based on the early Vegas platform, easy to learn and use, and one of the most powerful audio editing tools out there: http://reaper.fm/. Source: 11 months ago
