Question: I've heard the "reaper sounds bad" thing a looot in many places, FB, Reddit, Instagram.. maybe this has something to do with the default playback and render lower resample modes? why not make r8 default?

    yeah, that's true, I never noticed anything quality wise when using it at first, now I just go default on r8 from stuff I've read and why not go with higher quality but I agree people probably can't notice and they're probably listening with their eyes... thanks!
