I saw some old threads in which people were using FL Studio inside of Reaper for this purpose, as the note mapping process in Reaper was, and still is, somewhat cumbersome.
I'm looking for some up to date thoughts on this. Which relatively inexpensive Windows DAWs work well for this application?
I do have a licence for Cubase AI 10 Elements that came bundled with my interface, but have no idea if it could be used this way.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT for clarification:
I use Superior Drummer to get my drum sounds. I'll point to these two threads to explain what I refer to as cumbersome drum mapping. (And, yes, there is a work-around but it, too, is cumbersome.)

The idea would be to use, say FL Studio, as a VSTi inside Reaper and, then, use FL's MIDI editor for drum parts which, I gather, is easier to use for this purpose.
