Evaluate REAPER
Download and evaluate REAPER for up to 60 days with full functionality before purchasing a license.
Installing REAPER
Simply download the correct installer for your operating system, and run the installer. You can also copy the installer to a flash drive, and run it on a computer that does not have internet access. There is nothing else to download. The entire download and installation usually takes only a minute or two.
Upgrading REAPER
To upgrade an existing installation of REAPER, download the installer and run it, just as if you were installing REAPER for the first time. Your existing user preferences, shortcuts, customizations, extensions, and plug-ins will all be preserved.
The Upgrade Model
REAPER upgrades are offered whenever something is fixed or some new features are added. Upgrades are released frequently, sometimes as often as every few days.
Releasing upgrades incrementally helps us ensure that bug fixes get the attention they need, rather than being buried under a list of new features, and also gets new features into users' hands quickly, so that users can offer feedback and help guide the development process via the user forum.

32 bit? 64 bit?
Most users will likely want to download a 32-bit version of REAPER. All versions of REAPER have a full-resolution 64-bit internal audio signal path from end to end, on all operating systems.
Your decision of which installer to download depends primarily on the plug-ins you wish to use with REAPER and your operating system, and not on any audio quality considerations.
