Reaper and SSL mixpander systems?

[svart]

I'm new to reaper and have not read everything about it yet but I am also about to purchase the new SSL converters/mixpander card and wonder if Reaper would work on this system?

Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi Svart,

Tried this yesterday with Reaper V1.62 and one of SSL's test PC's and it worked (i.e. I had audio from the demo project, through the Mixpander to the phones output of the Alpha-Link).

PC config
Carillon (Intel MB) P4 3.8
2MB RAM

The Mixpander has ASIO drivers. When these are selected in Reaper, you get access to 64 'streams'. These stream audio to the mixer that is part of the Mixpander and this routes the audio to the Alpha-Link I/O units.

Just for other's information too, I've also used SSL's Duende processor with Reaper V1.72, as a VST plug-in.

Hope this is useful, new to Reaper too!

Yes thank you very much, this looks to be the way to go!

Reaper will not "see" my Waves SSL 4000 VSTs as VST effects. The only way I can get them to work at all in Reaper is by running the Cakewalk VST adapter from SONAR 5. Only them will Reaper gain access to them, and not as VST effects (i.e. "VST:XXX") but as DX-wrapped VST effects (i.e. "DX: VST XXX"). Once they are wrapped by the Cakewalk VST wrapper, they work perfectly in Reaper

...I'm hoping that other folks running the Waves SSL 4000 plugs will chime in and let me know how they are working for them in Reaper.
