Want to talk about music hardware or software that doesn't include Reason?

Hey, I just downloaded Reaper and was hoping to start using it with Reason Rewired as it can do video as well. Anybody here use these two in conjunction? Pros? Cons?

I am not sure how it is possible, but on my WIn 7 computer, Reaper is waaaaay more efficient when rewiring Reason (comparing to Nuendo). It uses multiple cores, despite the fact that Rewire protocol should be limited to a single core. Don't ask me how this is possible, even Justin, the Reaper creator, wasn't sure about that when i asked him :mrgreen:

Anyway, Reason rewired to Nuendo on the same computer is much less efficient, as it is actually using only single core.

The verdict: IMO Reaper is a very good choice - extremely CPU efficient. I also like automatic Reason start when loading Reaper project.
