Reaperis open-source software which means that people are able to make contributions that shape the direction of the program. Because of this, blind people, in close collaboration with Cockos, the developers of Reaper, have been able to write a plugin called Osara that adds a number of keyboard actions to Reaper as well as making the product speak in ways it might not otherwise. Reaper runs on both Windows and Mac, and is equally accessible on both platforms.

Although it is possible to use Reaper free forever with just a few reminders to pay for the product, the $60 U.S. is well worth the money for anyone who truly makes use of the product. Whether you are a professional musician, a singer, or someone editing podcasts for others, the sky is pretty much the limit for anyone using Reaper.


Reaper is also a multitrack editor, which means that you can add many layers of sound to a project whether it be birds, rain, wind, and water, or many instruments playing your original composition. You can add effects such as reverb to your project, and manipulate it in a seemingly endless number of ways.


In addition to the Reaper Made Easy site, you can also visit the Reaper Accessibility Website. This site is a Wiki, which means that the site receives regular contributions from experienced users. This is a great resource for starting from the ground floor as far as learning to use Reaper is concerned. Once you become comfortable with the basics, you can move on to more advanced articles of interest to you depending on how you intend to use Reaper, regardless of your operating system of choice. Many people use Reaper on both Windows and Mac, transferring projects from one computer to another for convenient editing.


Another great resource is the Reapers Without Peepers email list. This is a very high-traffic list, but it is well moderated. Although the list owner keeps subjects on topic, Reaper is such a powerful piece of software that many areas of discussion are permitted.


The Reapers Without Peepers (RWP) moderator can also provide you with access to a shared Dropbox folder that contains a ton of great content from tutorials to examples of audio and music produced with Reaper as well as information about virtual instruments and audio interfaces that work with Reaper.


For anyone who is serious about producing high-quality audio using software whose developers are truly interested in making their product accessible to the blind, Reaper is a great program to consider. Making Reaper even more appealing, there are a number of high-quality training resources, both free and paid, that can help you learn Reaper as a blind person. At $60, Reaper is affordably priced for most, and provides a 60-day trial period before you are asked to purchase the software. It runs on Windows and Mac, and works with VoiceOver, JAWS for Windows, and NVDA.


Reaper is developed by Cockos, Incorporated. There is a 60-day evaluation period, after which time the program costs $60 for versions 6.0 through 7.99. At the time of this writing, Reaper is at version 6.60.


REAPER (Rapid Environment for Audio Production, Engineering, and Recording) is a digital audio workstation and MIDI sequencer application created by Cockos. The current version is available for Microsoft Windows (XP and newer), macOS (10.5 and newer), and Linux.[1][2] REAPER acts as a host to most industry-standard plug-in formats (such as VST and AU) and can import all commonly used media formats, including video. REAPER and its included plug-ins are available in 32-bit and 64-bit format.


ReaScript can be used to create anything from advanced macros to full-featured REAPER extensions. ReaScripts can be written in EEL2 (JSFX/Jesusonic script), Lua and Python.[4] SWS / S&M is a popular, open-source extension to REAPER, providing workflow enhancements and advanced tempo/groove manipulation functionality.[5]


REAPER's interface can be customized with user-built themes. Each previous versions default theme is included with REAPER and theming allows for complete overhauls of the GUI. REAPER has been translated into multiple languages and downloadable language packs are available. Users as well as developers can create language packs for REAPER.[7]


REAPER comes with a variety of commonly used audio production effects. They include tools such as ReaEQ, ReaVerb, ReaGate, ReaDelay, ReaPitch and ReaComp. The included Rea-plug-ins are also available as a separate download for users of other DAWs, as the ReaPlugs VST FX Suite.[8]


Also included are hundreds of JSFX plug-ins[9] ranging from standard effects to specific applications for MIDI and audio. JSFX scripts are editable text files,[10] which when loaded into REAPER (exactly like a VST or other plug-in) become full-featured plugins ranging from simple audio effects (e.g delay, distortion, compression) to instruments (synths, samplers) and other special purpose tools (drum triggering and surround panning).


REAPER's only instruments are ReaSynth, ReaSynDr & ReaSamplomatic 5000. ReaSynth is a basic synth with wave shape, ADSR Envelope & Portamento. ReaSynDr has 4 drum samples, a kick, snare, blip & tick. ReaSamplomatic 5000 is a sampler.


REAPER includes no third-party software, but is fully compatible with all versions of the VST standard (currently VST2 and VST3). It can also run AU plugins (on macOS), CLAP plug-ins, DX plugins (on Windows) and LV2 plugins,[11] and thus works with the vast majority of both free and commercial plug-ins available. REAPER x64 can also run 32-bit plug-ins alongside 64-bit processes.[9] As of version 5.97, REAPER supports ARA 2 plugins.[12]


While not a dedicated video editor, REAPER can be used to cut and trim video files and to edit or replace the audio within. Common video effects such as fades, wipes and cross-fades are available. REAPER aligns video files in a project as it would to an audio track, and the video data of the file can be viewed in a separate video window while working on the project.[13]


In addition to the already mentioned sws extensions, there are some more packs and sites (usually created by users) that further extend the functionality and knowledge of reaper. A (hopefully) comprehensive list of these follows. Please note that the accessibility of some of those is not thoroughly tested and cannot be guaranteed. However, you might find something fun or useful here, Who knows?


The RWP (Reapers Without Peepers) mailing list, is a very helpful place for those learning or using Reaper. Discussion of Reaper's accessibility via any means on either the Windows or Mac platforms is welcome. You can join RWP here.


This WhatsApp group is another source of assistance for people who are interested in learning or indeed already using Reaper. It tends to be higher traffic than RWP. It's a fairly loose, friendly hang, and has proven to be a great place to collaborate and/or get critique. Most of the messages being exchanged day-to-day are voice notes, but people who prefer to text are equally welcome.


To minimize spam, we've unfortunately had to pull down the direct link. Instead, we're going to give you an easy-to-follow description of how you can join. This measure keeps the group readily available to humans, whilst slamming the door firmly in the face of spam bots.


This is a community-maintained accessibility-focused resource that's choc full of goodies, including audio and text tutorials, presets for plug-ins and instruments, templates, custom actions and scripts. Everything you'll find on the hoard is free, much of it is open source.


If you've listened to demos and heard talk of a REAPER Dropbox, we outgrew that and retired it. Everything that used to live there is now in The Hoard instead. You no longer need a subscription, it's easier to search and the resources won't be eating up drive space, just dip in whenever you need something.


This is the most recently recorded series of free screen reader focused tutorial content that we know of. The first batch of lessons starts right at the beginning, covering concepts and installation of everything you'll need on Windows and Mac. There's plenty more to come over time, you'd be wise to bookmark the Reaper Made Easy landing page.


Toni Barth provides a growing collection of useful tutorials on his YouTube channel. Many are about using REAPER accessibly, including detailed walkthroughs on REAPER's Media Explorer, OSARA's Peak Watcher and more.


You'll find other excellent efforts from Toni further down the page in the Scripts to Enhance Accessibility section. He also hosts The Hoard, this here wiki and helps REAPER Made Easy with technical stuff. Really, the man is a machine.


These are bite-size tutorials covering the basics of editing, recording and using effects. REAPER on Windows is what you'll hear being demoed, but Scott was careful to include keystrokes and notes for Mac folk all the way through.


Ten Typical Tasks took a ton of time and effort to record. If it proves to be useful to you, and you're in a position to be able to support its author, donations sent here will reach Scott. Any amount will be massively appreciated, but hey, financial support is entirely optional.


This free set of audio tutorials by Garth Humphreys and occasional guests can be found at The ReaProducer Standalone Site. If you'd prefer to subscribe, here's the ReaProducer Podcast feed for Apple Podcasts, or here's the RSS feed for other podcast catchers. Most of these episodes have been produced on the Mac, however Garth has always been mindful to make sure that his content is applicable to both platforms.


If you're new to Reaper, it is recommended that you work through the first few tutorials in order. They start with installation, and move through important concepts, such as importing media, recording, and editing with both time selections and items. How to Save and Render projects is also covered, along with side-chaining and an introduction to automation. There really is a ton of useful info contained within these bite-sized tutorials.
