The company's also cool with you're paying for a discounted license if you're a for-profit, but you make less than $20,000 a year.

Last week the team released Reaper 3.0. If you've been following the app's progress, you shouldn't be surprised by any of the new features. It seems like there's a new point release every week or two. But here are some of the major changes and improvements since Reaper 2.5.x:

- Nested track folders
- Multichannel (greater than stereo) media support, including MOGG
- FX parameter controls on track and mixer control panels
- Customizable toolbar icons and actions

My introduction to Reaper actually occurred when Pro Tools got stuck on a project that was due soon. I installed Reaper for free and finished the project in time. Now I no longer use Pro Tools.
