![]() So your first challenge is getting signal flowing between applications, which Windows doesn't help you with directly. Plan on it taking some time either way.Īnyhow, there's an option for you to consider.Ĭlick to expand.As an application, Reaper will not show up in your Windows Sound control panel as a recording or playback device, just like Windows Media Player does not. If it helps, I'd gladly share Reaper project files with you as a starting point for you to modify at will, so you don't have to figure out EVERY little thing about Reaper from scratch. If you just want something that works so you can move on to other matters, than the DAW/Reaper route is probably not the way to go. If you enjoy digging into into something new and different like that, you might end up appreciating its elegance and become a fan like me. The complexity question is a big one for you to consider. I use foobar2000 with Reaper, but other media player options exist with ASIO capability. ![]() Reaper works best with ASIO input & out drivers, but can work with Direct Show or pretty much anything else I/O-wise. Its target audience is the professional recording scene, but it is implemented in a stripped-down, build-it-up-however-you-want-it modular fashion (think of an audio erector set) that has led to it showing up in all kinds of odd audio corners. The downside - the rascal is quite complex, as is the nature of DAWs in general, and it could take awhile to get your arms around. And it is extremely stable and well-supported, including a helpful user community and pretty-good documentation. And multichannel capability is unlimited - 24.6 anyone? Reaper itself is not a memory or cpu hog, but your ultimate configuration will determine how much horsepower you need. I use Reaper for this, which costs $60 for a non-commercial license, includes convolution and parametric EQ plugins (unlimited # of bands for the parametric), will accept pretty much any available VST plugin (unlimited quantities, combinations, instances) - there are free and inexpensive VST plugin options galore for equalization, bass management, signal analysis and display. One option is to use a DAW - Digital Audio Workstation - as your EQ engine, following your media player within your Windows PC.
