Hi there. Thought I'd pass this info on - Reaper license fees normally entitle you to two full versions of the Reaper software. For example, if you bought your license at version 3.0, your license entitles you to all upgrades up to 4.99 free. Because of Reaper's incredible responsiveness to user feedback, this can be expected to amount to scores of upgrades, sometimes mere days apart.

Since version 4.0 is now on the radar screen (looks to be due by the end of this year) Cockos has announced that they're lowering the "up to 4.99" license price to $40 for a discounted license (or $150 for a non-discounted one) in consideration.

Since Reaper (which runs on both PC and OSX) provides workarounds to a host of PARIS issues, it makes a killer companion DAW for PARIS. It runs completely happily beside PARIS on the same computer, and:
- supports reading fresh-out-of-PARIS PAFs directly
- can be easily set to write PARIS-friendly WAVs (ie without the BWF headers that confuse PARIS) by default
- has a sophisticated batch convertor (making it a global "PARIS convertor" - sort of "StripWav on steroids")
- works like a charm slaved sample-accurately to PARIS via ADAT sync
- and is completely scriptable so you can "gang" favorite functions together into sophisticated chains of actions, which makes it amazing for things like batch preparation of timestamped BWFs for sample accurate import into PARIS.

It's a ridiculous bargain at $60 and even more of one at $40. Hope this is useful info for someone.
