However, every time I open it, it says "Reaper is not free!" and tells me I have x amount of days left before I have to buy it. I thought it was free?

The Demo is but it works on trust, so the demo never actually runs out, so you can use it in Demo mode (which is no different to paid full version) forever. At $60 for a DAW which could be sold for 5-10x that amount, then I would encourage buying it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You can see that they are making progress, obviously donations and licenses are helping. Having said that, it was marked as Number One DAW of the year 2011 by some sites, probably a marketing trick, but still, their business decision to distribute Reaper with unlimited free demo license certainly pushed things a bit.

Thanks for the info! I'm using (should say learning to use) Reaper in the trial mode. Just click "Still evaluating" until you purchase it. I will purchase it soon, but you might as well get used to using it. It has many more features compared to Audacity. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's true, you can use it as long as you want for free, but I agree with Posterboy that you should give them some money when you use it on a regular basis.

I will certainly buy my own license one of these days. But you should certainly start learning it. You will be amazed how much better it is than Audacity.
