After having my laptop on for 2 hours, I've had a really productive session trying to produce some drum loops I've had in my head for a while to export to improvise along to for some new music I want to make.
So productive, that i've managed 1 whole bar of drums.........although the system cacked out and I even lost that.
First off, eLicenser wasn't letting me load Cubase so I had to uninstall it, re install it, and re enter all my activation codes.
Next up, it took five minutes to load Cubase.
Next, the stupid Groove plug in thing keep not responding if I changed the drum kit more than a couple of times.
Then after i'd thrown the computer across the room I managed to get one bar done, only for it to bloody crash again
Arghhhhhh!!!! Why is it like this every bloody time I try and be creative?

Solid as a rock, even under Linux (which neither of them officially support).

Then again, I suspect that Reaper's interface works best for those with an engineer- or programmer-type brain.
I think the current Cubase issues (well, I've always had the same issues but still) are more based on my computer set up but I'm totally not worth investing in a separate machine to run only that unfortunately

Not used it for drum loops, but for everything else, it's easy and really stable, I used to use it on my 800mhz AMD computer with no issues!
Also any issues you may have are usually answered by a quick search on the reaper forums.

Apart from my very early days of using it (back around 2007) Reaper has always been super stable for me across a range of computers.
I wasn't coming at it from a usability perspective, though - mainly stability. I've only had Reaper crash twice in the whole time I've been using it, and both times was because of a dodgy plugin.

@thecolourbox - if you had BFD3, you wouldn't even need a DAW to export drum loops. You could do it all entirely in BFD3 standalone.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

Mr Drew, didn't know that but still not an investment I can make, I took to using my korg drum machine today instead
