I think this would be a great way to help grow the amount of sounds that the community has access to. Maybe it could encourage people to create their own sounds and possibly even share them with the community. If anything else, designing sounds is fun and is definitely interesting whether they will be used in a game or not. There's always more to learn, so count me in.

man you guys are awesome, no words other then that
, have been using goldwave for wow, 5 years? and its quite facenating, and i have done good stuff with it
but a reaper tutorial wont harm anybody
bye the way if you need a sound designer for your projects big or small i can try to help you if i ca abel to
this applys for evry developer that has plans and does not have sounds
i have also posted to this to developers room but o well posting here also no harm to anyone

wonderful!

@4 I thought about doing Goldwave, Omer, but from what I'm reading, Reaper is among the best software you can use - it holds its own with the highest quality software on the market and it's free, and at most it's $60. I think that's pretty cool, we may as well begin the course with the best accessible software out there. I hear a lot of good things about Goldwave, but with Reaper I think everyone will be able to produce stuff they could sell online, or produce work for a sighted game.

@8
you can also do those things with goldwave too but, yeah i advise doing it with reaper
it has much more potential and reseaves features in a regelur bases
gold wave also receaves frequent updates but, well not as good as reaper,

Hey Daisyalesoundworks,
I'm really interested in this free course.
I'm using Reaper with Osara for professional audio production, so I know how it works. If you need any help with it, feel free to contact me.

agreed with post 11, as a seasoned sound designer it would be great to hear someone else's take on it. I have used reaper as well. After the 60 days are up, you can still use it. After starting the program, You have to wait about 10 seconds at the nag screen before the skip purchase button is available and then you can use it for free.

I'm very interested in this course. I already make music with Reaper, but there's always something to be learned right?
Also, I recommend you use the SWS Extension, which extends the functionality of Reaper. The website appears to be unavailable at the moment. However, I'm guessing it will be back up, as the latest version was released less than a month ago and there is no reason to believe this extension has been discontinued. If it should, for whatever reason, not be up soon, let me know and I can provide a link to the latest version.

ok. I can only say one thing. ha, I cant evon say it.
this is soooo cooooooool!
thees people are very thoughtfull

Yeah Reaper will keep working after the evaluation  period is up, kind of like Winrar in that regard. I have a license for it and recommend that, especially if you're selling your stuff. I also agree with 216 about using SWS because it gives extra functionality. The install order I use is reaper, SWS, then Osara. By the way, if anyone does see fit to buy a reaper license, copy it into your clipboard, the entire thing, before you start reaper, and it will say something like, "We found a Reaper license in the clipboard, would you like to import it?" You click yes, and providing the license is valid, that's literally all you have to do to register it. When it starts up, the license and the name to whom it's been registered is spoken.

This is nothing but awesome. And yeah, REAPER will run after the evaluation period expires so there are very few reasons to buy a licence. Also, it has better effects, is multitrack and non-distructive, so it's much better than GoldWave.

Best regards
T-m

A lot of vst's that rely on visual interfaces often require some form of scripting or OCR to get around, but a lot of the stock PlugIns that come with Reaper are usable via their parameters, and you can get pretty far with them. I find that a lot of smaller, free vst's are more likely to be usable since their parameter list is often a lot smaller. One of the Cakewalk vst's I used to use (I think it was Dimension Pro) had over 800 parameters or something scary like that. The Windows 10 OCR really opened up the amount of vst's that we can get some use out of.
