Reaper Provides an Upgrade from Audacity Without the Hefty Price Tag

For those of us that do editing outside of the media center, without the access to high-end software such as Logic Studio, Audacity may not quite cut it. So for users looking to own audio-editing software without breaking the bank, Reaper is an excellent option. Reaper does multi-track editing and recording in the style of Cubase or Ableton, albeit a bit more simply. Its major draw comes from its pricing: A full single-user license is only $225, and that's if you're a commercial user making over $20,000 using it. For educational, non-profit, personal, or even commercial use under 20k, it's only $60 per user. In comparison, a single seat of the educational edition of Cubase starts at $270. On top of that, the trial for Reaper is completely open. No timeouts, no save-disabling, only a menu that reminds you to buy a license after 30 days. Have a look.

Reaper is available at Reaper.fm.
