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.

    There really aren't words to describe how spectacular this piece of software has become over the last few years.
    With version 3 it has really solidified and become strongly worth considering among the expensive alternatives.

    Pretty amazing product - keeps improving and improving, non-crippled demo with just a nagscreen and very very cheap if you buy it.
    Incredibly small size, fully vst compatible etc etc etc

    - check it out!

    This keeps getting better and better.

    The updates have slowed now to one 'major' one a month with only a couple of minor fixes in between.

    nice software, low on resources and cheap to buy

    some parts of the interface a bit too bright
    for my eyes though
