So apparently the newest Reaper versions now have web interface control where you can set up being able to arm tracks, play, record, etc, all from your tablet/phone as long as your recording computer and mobile device are on the same network.
Pretty awesome stuff. Reaper still leading the way.

I love Reaper. Even more now. This is going to make recording my drums so much easier. Especially cause it takes me so many takes to do drums!

I have a session this coming weekend and I'll probably wait til after. |

I have been a Reaper fan until they used their website in Nov 2016 to push their political agenda, which I found very distasteful. Actually, I am still a big reaper fan. Just not as big of one now.
Anyway, I still use it, and yes - it totally has a web control. I use this when I record myself on drums in another part of the house. Just tracked a tune this way a week ago. It's very nice. Much like Studio One's app. Reaper is very good software for not much coin. Always adding amazing stuff to it that Pro Tools adds like 10 years later. Avid even has the nerve to tout it like some breakthrough. haha. I sit there laughing watching the official video saying to myself "I've done that for years in Reaper for 10% of the price!"

Doesn't Logic do this already for some time? A friend of mine controls Logic functions from his iPad, and I plan to do the same, once my new iPad arrives. I don't see where Reaper leads the way here. But I agree, it makes drum recording much easier when you are the drummer and engineer...  |

They definitely don't lead the way with this. Pro tools has an iPad app, as does Logic, Studio one etc. It is a nice addition to a very complex and affordable DAW that seems to be able to do everything, though.

Not to mention that this has been out for a few years, and predates the Logic Pro X iPad app: neyrinck.com/v-control-pro/I bought it for my ipad3 way back on April 12, 2013. So, yeah. Reaper is CATCHING UP, not leading the way. |

But I agree, it makes drum recording much easier when you are the drummer and engineer... A big distinction is that it is a web interface. You can use it practically everywhere and you can script it or write add-ons to it. |

Yeah been using the web control for a while now. Very cool to be recording something away from the main box and to be able to control Reaper.

What am I missing that Reaper can do that is cutting edge here? It's network control that relies on an app to communicate. Web, means that it's connected directly to your program via network. You just need a browser and you have control. |

Protools has had it for a while as well. There's a free iPhone/iPad app that doesn't require any other hardware.

open source port 80 access is a future potential--it means it does nothing useful until someone MAKES an app (which might be simple HTML5 or whatever for a browser) to control it....it's an open source advantage and pitfall.
For me, this is yesterday's news....because, openness aside--using a phone or tablet to control it seems like awesome sauce--but, in practice, you have to set them to not sleep...batteries die mid session....you have to have solid Wifi in the studio--in fact, if I have advice for the Reaper devs, it's to make it brainless to set up it's own ad hoc wifi IP network connection to the device. That's when Apple's app worked here--they keep breaking and then fixing that aspect--which effectively made the app work well or laggy here in this studio--you DON'T want to have to relay on a WIFI router to connect the DAW computer and the device. IME. Sure that works "better than running across the room", but IME there's more lag, which is annoying beyond "play/stop" control....
At some point....if YOU'Re the one driving for yourself....remote desktop from the tablet or a solid state netbook/Air type latpop will be the ultimate remote control.
YMMV. Obviously.

The plus about the web interface is like ericbradley said. You aren't tied to apple. Pro Tools only released theirs for apple products, so even though I have an android phone and tablet right here, I can't make use of it. Reapers interface is very easy to use via the web browser. I can use it on any computer or phone or tablet I have here. Studio one is at least on both apple and android and it is free. The lag doesn't bother me. I don't need a super sensitive transport when tracking remotely. It's actually quite fast over the wifi. Not much difference in feel to the transport when your buffer is set up high for a big mix. I just need something to hit play/stop and record.

Are you talking about the cesspool that`s their `lounge` Haha. Their lounge is a cesspool indeed, however, this was actually all over the reaper.fm home page, right at the top. A big text that read something about getting out to vote to prevent the end of the world, and about 6 articles linked underneath which all were blatantly and unapologetically biased to just one of the candidates which I will not name. Then they also had a link to their lounge to discuss it, yes. Poor form for a company, in my opinion. I own a business on the web with customers world wide, and would never dream of doing such a thing. |
