Pros: - super cheap licenses ($60 for personal $225 for commercial which is only necessary if you make 20k+ yearly off of the music you produce with Reaper) - super customizable and compatible with Windows, Apple, AND Linux. - has all the industry standard features that any producer would need, just doesn't come with all the pretty plugins that other DAWs come with. - can look a lot better than it does stock if you're willing to spend 5-15 minutes installing a theme (check out ReaperTips) - super low CPU useage, barely takes up any storage on your hard drive, and has very low latency, so it can run on older computers just fine.

Cons: - does not come with actual instrument plugins - can be difficult to learn because of how much customization is possible

I ran these live for about 1-1.5 years and they are good for the price. They are mostly clear if you mix your ears well but the mids can get pretty muddy and the lows can be a bit overbearing. I think the boost in the high end is good but the low and high boosts might be more for fun than live practicality. I personally prefer the flatter response of the AS10s.

I switched to these from the ZS10 Pros which were also great, but I play EG in a CCM setting so the boosted bass and high end did not benefit me nearly as much as the flatter response of the AS10s. EG is so much clearer, but things like the bass and vocals and other things in the low & high end also stayed very clear and crisp, almost feels like the ZS10s are more for fun than constant live use.

I’ve used them all, I was kinda forced into using logic and at first was frustrating because I wasn’t as familiar with it as others, but soon made the switch and never looked back. Apple does a great job with it and has for decades. The reason I say that I was forced into it was that I got caught in the middle of an update with a project in the early 2000’s. Of course everybody used Final Cut Pro for movie editing and there was an update to the file types, so the files that protools exported were not compatible once the Final Cut Pro editors updated. So I had to wait for Digidesign to update protools for compatibility… so yo complete the film score on time I had to buy Logic Pro which already had the update obviously because it was also an Apple product like Final Cut Pro… so of course I was frustrated but slowly realized how great Logic is and I never had a comparability issue since.
