As the oldest DAW, Cakewalk has countless features and is perfect. I've been using Cakewalk for over 30 years and will use it as my main DAW until I die. However, I use a variety of DAWs to teach my students. These days, when I use Reaper, I feel like I'm using Cakewalk. Reaper looks a lot like a cakewalk. The advantage of Reaper is that it is very lightweight and works on all versions of Windows, from Windows XP to Windows 11. I think Reaper is as good a DAW as Cakewalk. (Sorry, English is not my language and my English skills are not good.)
Cakewalk is what I use. Started 2 years ago and I know it very well in the meantime. What surprises me every now and when is the richness of functionality of Cakewalk: when other DAWs advertise their new features and I notice, oh, that's something Cakewalk already has for years! I also have Reaper installed and use it occasionally, but the menus are really daunting. I'm convinced that it is more flexible and you can tweak it to your needs, but this seems to require much effort. And the learning curve is steeper. On the other hand, I like the flexible routing possibilities.
Sounds like you have the same story as me... Started Cakewalk like 2 almost 3 years ago and realized that it has had features for years while others are just catching up... But that dam Reaper is so light weight and fast and just works I don't worry about it crashing on me and I really like the work flow I created.. I completely agree with the learning curve still trying to get it all rapped in my head but it's taking some time to get the flow I like but the more I use it the more I like it... But I will still be using both.. lol.. thanks for the comment..😀🙏🏾
Hi XEL Ohh! Thanks for the video. I only want to point one little mistake ( Its around 9:40 in your video)- in Cakewalk you CAN easily edit audio transients markers as you want. You add a new marker anywhere you want by pressing Alt and clicking anywhere on the clip. You can move them around, delete or reset. Greetz!
Welp.. after 3 weeks of using REAPER, I can finally say that I've moved to Reaper cause it can handle multiple VSTs without freezing tracks or choking on processing power needed to use VSTs. (Reaper can freeze tracks too) There's only 1 thing I really HATE about Reaper right now... Is it doesn't have a Archive button to fully disable a track like CakeWalk has. I hope to push for that update. The main thing I love about reaper is it's ability to handle VSTs very well and gives you a detailed performance chart that is updated live for every track. It tells you how much each VST plug-in delay is being used by the plugins. The performance live chart is awesome! Routing in Reaper has a small learning curve, but once you do... You can route to just about anywhere. It's half the price of what CakeWalk used too cost for it's Producer version ($225). And if you haven't made more than $20,000 making music, you can buy it for $60. I'm writing this at version 6.73 on 12/26/2022.
Great video. I used Cakewalk for many years, but switched over to Reaper mostly. I just could not get past the crashes and pops and clicks. You are correct about using reaper as a beginner. It will over whelm you.
I began with OpCode and then Sound Designer (sequencers) in the 1980's. Used Sound Tools and then Pro Tools for about 10 years, and then found that other DAW's were sometimes helpful. However, not until we started using Reaper did we realize how limiting most other DAW's are. Not that many small studios, home studios can fully exploit Reaper, but at least you are seldom being held back by Reaper-- which is definitely NOT the case with ProTools and many other DAW's. In our studio we use Reaper (generally first choice), Pyramix (DSD), Logic (familiar fallback for some clients and project ingestion for home studio file support), ProTools (only when necessary) and Ableton Live when client needs it. We also use DaVinci Resolve's Fairlight engine for various AV and immersive work. Many have gotten converted to Reaper during their project with us. There is SOOOO much more to Reaper. First, tracks support up to 64 sources, channels, subtracks, which is VERY useful for stems level work, and allows you to do things with ATMOS that neither Cakewalk, ProTools or most other DAWS can do. ProTools limits in the bed to 12 channels, and zero space for any objects in the channel or to the mixer. You are forced to break things up into lanes, groups, stems or whatever least sucks. Also, the scripting and programming customization in Reaper is phenomenal, resulting in so many great free plugins, themes, automations, workflow enhancements, and so much more.
Man that's awesome... I'm really not that technical when it comes to DAWs I use them at the basic level... I have really grown to like Reaper.... I like to tinker so it works great for me...
Great video. I use them both. Reaper for innovations and ideals and Cakewalk for mixing, although both can do it all. Hey, if you don't mind me asking. Are you ever going to do a video on Reader's off-the-wall plugins? Some of the reverbs are mind-blowing with the Tukan and sequencing apps making creating fun.
I have used both only a little. As with all DAWS, both are challenging unless you really commit to learning them. Lastly, I'm thinking of buying a Mac Probook so have to consider: "Cakewalk by BandLab is currently only available for Windows operating system12. There is no Mac version of Cakewalk"
I'm used to reaper but after a decade of off an on usage im still learning key things lol. The learning curve is endless. Makes me want to potentially try another daw.
I made a lot of money with Sonar (Cakewalk) until Sonar was discontinued. I made the full switch over to Pro Tools and stayed. I might grab Reaper and learn it over the winter just to give it a try.
Hi @X.E.L. Ohh! 😁 I agree on every point you've made. At the end of the day, you have to choose what works for you. In my case, this is Reaper because I like setting things up the way I want. Even on the computer, I chose to run Linux so what I'm saying is, you have to choose whatever you like. Both DAWS are great and I appreciate the hard work that was put into them. I generally choose to run libre software (open source) but it's like you said, Reaper doesn't require an account and all the other things that have become a norm nowadays. Nice video! Thank you!
Thank you for watching... Reaper is an amazing DAW and Cakewalk is good as well it is a choice that people have to make I will continue to use both... But I'm like you I am leaning towards Reaper a little more these days .. lol... Thanks for the comment
In Cakewalk, you can add aux busses to the main track area, and between aux busses, patch points, and regular buses, you can pretty much route anything anywhere you like. Very flexible and easy.
the first DAW i bought was Cakewalk Sonar many years ago , but i had stability issues, i then moved onto Reason v5 and used that for many years until version 12 where it didn't work on my system, so reverted to v11, but over the last year i have been using Reaper which im still learning, and i must agree with you about being overwhelmed with options, i think if they want newcomers to use Reaper they should develope a lite version with just essential options. btw i like the reaper theme you use.P.S.what is the name of the reaper theme you are using.
Muitos anos usando o Cakewalk, muitos mesmo, uns 20, ainda era sonar, mas comecei a testar outras Daw, o reaper é muito superior em processamento, muito leve, nao sei como eles conseguiram isso, pode ser a aparencia bem reduzida em detalhes, mas ´depois que acostuma, é incrivel!!! Cakewalk é muito pesado, uso um 10900k, m.2 aorus e nao da conta dos softs da acustica audio, o reaper da conta tranquilo!!!
I jumped on the bandwagon at cakewalk 4 , I tried most of the other daws but can't get as good as mix as i do with cakewalk, im sure it's just familuarity with cakewalk.
Using a sample managing browser/vst like Loopcloud or ADSR sample will give a much better experience than both built in browsers. Cakewalk has some sample feature you might have over looked. Built in rex2 and acid support, loop editor, groove clips, etc. I tend to maximize my studio by leaning on one DAW heavily while taking advantage of the strengths of multiple DAWs. So using both of these can be a real plus. Especially if you're on a budget but want some real power in the studio.
I feel ya... But Cakewalk sample features are lacking behind in every way... What good is it to have rex files with no sampler to cut it up...🤔 Cakewalk use to have a sampler but currently does not... I agree with trying different DAWs thanks for the comment..😀🙏🏾
Yes I agree... Cakewalk is easier to navigate due to the overwhelming options that you have in Reaper but that's one of the reasons that people use Reaper in the first place... Lol . I'm starting to like reapers midi editor as well now that I'm use to it..
Great video, thanks. I've been trying both and overall I prefer Reaper. But - that Cakewalk Pro Channel is so good. Does anyone know a way to replicate the Pro Channel in Reaper (for free!)?
Hello. I need help with cakewalk. I've decided to use it to play live with vst, so I have a project of several instrument channels, each with its assigned MIDI channel such that when I want to play a certain instrument, I simply change the midi channel on my controller. All easy, but I would like to make it so that with a single button press on my midi controller, the instrument settings window that I am playing at that moment appears. Is there any way of doing this? Sorry for my English, I speak Spanish and I have translated the comment with Google. Thank you
Started Repear after installation and wow it's SLOW scanning of VSTs. I hope that's a one time event, otherwise I'll be waiting 30 minutes to an hour for startup time in Repeat...
Dear Kenny, is it possible as long as I'm changing the volume fader or adjusting the eq or compressor plugin with a left click on the mouse, I want to press the space bar for play and stop at the same time
I've used Cakewalk for decades and respect it But I do a lot of live playing into Reaper and It's my Main DAW now. Audio stretching in Reaper can't be beat Cakewalk great for Midi and Mastering final mixes.
I have Cakewalk for the plugins & instruments which I use in Reaper. Beyond that, Cakewalk just has no workflow. I prefer the fact that in Reaper you have one kind of track for audio or MIDI, whereas you have tracks for separate uses in Cakewalk. And I need TWO tracks for one instrument 🙄 Plus I hate having to constantly refer to the mixer to complete something. Gave Cakewalk an honest try in creating a song start-to-finish. After an hour I gave up, bounced everything to Reaper and got it all done in 5 minutes like bam-bam-bam-bam. What I couldn't finish in an hour on Cakewalk.
To each his own .. I have no issues producing in either one of these DAWs... It seems like you have a solid work flow in Reaper... Not many people that I know actually use midi and audio on the same channel.. you can do the same things in the track view that you can in the mixer in Cakewalk so not sure what you mean by going to the mixer to complete something..🤔 Cakewalk does have a dedicated inspector where Reaper does not so if you don't want to go to the mixer you can just go to the inspector. It's like any other DAW you try you have to get use to it... Thanks for the comment..😀🙏🏾
@@XELOhh1 All I know is I was constantly switching to the mixer view. I also don't see how to group tracks under a parent folder in CW. And there's one function Reaper has that no one else seems to: "Allow projects to override device sample rate."

You do not need two tracks for a midi instrument in cakewalk. You can if you want. But you don't need to. Also, cakewalk has folders for grouping. They may not be a flexible as groups in Reaper. I don't know. I have Reaper, but I find the interface confusing.
I go way way back with Cakewalk. Anyone remember Project 5? I still have that one active because I love the Dimension LE and I still find it's arpeggiator fascinating to this day. Also...love the fact that Reaper will load a few of the Bandlab instruments. Granted they are kinda "meh" quality wise but they are great composition tools No reason not to grab both.
@@XELOhh1 I've never used cakewalk before. It's been great seeing all the comparison videos lately, especially one like this that give objective comparisons with minimal to no bias. It's a great time to be alive and it's awesome to have so many viable DAW choices to suit virtually anybody's needs
