Cockos REAPER 4.01 Final (x86/x64) + Portable

REAPER is a powerful but sensible Windows application that lets you record, arrange, edit, and render multi-track waveform audio. It provides an extensive set of features, but is a very small and lightweight application (the installer is less than 1 megabyte, and includes many effects and a sample project). REAPER supports ASIO, Kernel Streaming, WaveOut, and DirectSound for playback and recording. It reads WAV, OGG, and MP3 files, and records WAV files. You can arrange any number of items in any number of tracks and use audio processing plug-ins (DirectX and Jesusonic). REAPER also supports volume, pan controls and envelopes per track, multi-layer undo/redo, and user creatable color themes.

MIDI editing:
- Set user-definable scales and chords in the MIDI editor for drawing and editing notes
- Using mouse modifiers, copy/duplicate/paste actions can create pooled (ghosted) in-project MIDI source data
- Editing any pooled MIDI media item affects all media items that share the same pooled data
- Un-pool shared MIDI by gluing the media item or via MIDI source properties dialog
- New MIDI Contents menu for switching MIDI editor between different MIDI media items in the project
- MIDI filter improvements when displaying multiple media items in the same editor
- Many new mouse modifier behaviors to paint notes and chords, edit arpeggios, etc

Mouse modifier customization:
- Customize mouse behavior when using keyboard modifiers in 40 different contexts
- In many contexts, mouse click and mouse drag can be customized separately
- Assign different behaviors to the mouse when over the top or bottom half of a media item
- Assign any action (including custom actions) to mouse click or double-click in most contexts
- Existing/legacy mouse preferences are preserved, but user changes to mousemap settings will override
- Actions to reassign default mouse action for any context

Theme layout support::
- Fully themeable UI, allowing repositioning/removal/addition of UI elements
- Per-track TCP/MCP layout support
- Screensets support saving/restoring layouts
- Old themes use default layouts available in Plugins/default_layouts.txt
- New themes can define their own layouts
- Layouts can be switched via menu, screensets/layouts dialog, or customizable actions

Media Explorer:
- Select a portion of a media file to insert into a project
- Optionally loop and/or stretch the selected portion to fit the destination area and tempo
- Scroll and zoom the media peaks preview
- Control+alt drag the time selection to render a new cropped file to REAPER, the desktop, or a folder
- Control+alt drag the time selection to sampler plugins or other applications that support drag/drop

Project Bay:
- Manage, preview, search, replace project source media, media items, and FX
- Manage media item groups and take comps for the project
- Save/load project bay contents to create working sets of source media/FX for different purposes
- Store sets of edited media items (including fades, stretch, pitch shift, etc) to use in any project
- Media and FX+preset combinations can be stored, inserted, and switched in the project

ReaSurround:
- Multi-channel surround panner with support for any number of input channels and speakers
- Freely position input sources and speakers in 3D space
- Configurable per-channel diffusion (treat input source audio as a shaped area rather than a point)
- Drag track IO button to ReaSurround to add new input sources

Take lanes and comping:
- Take lanes remain aligned by recording pass, creating empty lanes as needed (optional)
- Each recording pass gets its own take lane, even when recording overlaps existing items
- Recording no longer splits existing media items into different numbers of take lanes
- Save/load named comps (sets of takes from multiple media items)
- A/B or cycle through saved comps to audition/compare

Dockers and toolbars:
- Multiple dockers, freely dockable in main window or floatable (up to 16 separate dockers/toolbars)
- Drag tabs from a docker to rearrange tabs, create a new docker in another location, or float windows
- Create, customize, and freely dock or float toolbars for different uses

Envelope editing:
- Support for copying envelope points with the mouse
- Groups of selected points act like contiguous items when moving or copying
- Shift+control+drag on envelope segment (customizable) edits the envelope level within the time selection

Media Item Properties:
- Item/Take Properties dialog stays open while you work elsewhere, follows changes in selected items
- Pitch adjust and playrate fields accept values (such as "1.004") or simple operations (such as "x2")

Multichannel support:
- Allow choosing greater than 2 channels of sequential inputs, monitoring inputs
- Multichannel track meters
- Freely route any number of track channels to other tracks, hardware outputs

Render and batch-convert:
- Support for rendering project tracks and time regions to separate folders and files
- Customizable wildcards provide great flexibility in naming batches of rendered/converted files
- Save render presets for workflow efficiency

Time selection:
- Default copy/cut/glue actions respect time selection if there is one (including leading/trailing space)
- Using mouse modifiers, copy/move behaviors can respect time selection if there is one
- Editing behavior can be customized separately for media items, envelope points, MIDI editing

Track input FX chains:
- FX in the input FX chain only run when record armed, and only affect the signal coming in
- use MIDI or audio input, and can be set to output MIDI or audio independent of the input format

Track pan improvements:
- Track stereo width controls and envelopes
- Configurable track pan modes: balance, stereo pan (L/R + width), dual pan, and classic (3.x) balance

Pitch shift envelopes: Each take has its own pitch shift envelope, including customized range and snap settings
Transient detection and dynamic split: separate threshold and sensitivity settings, and other options
Video: performance improvements, support for sequencing still images
