A free open-source add-on for REAPER, ReaClassical provides professional and rock-solid tools suitable for—but not limited to—classical music editing, mixing and mastering.

ReaClassical started life as a handful of original scripts to help with source-destination editing but has grown into a complete "DAW within a DAW" including:

• Free Add-on for REAPER
• Easy automatic install
• Source-Destination Editing
• Two-lane Crossfade Editor
• Folder Razor Editing
• Delete with Ripple & Delete leaving Silence
• Complete set of over 50 mastering-grade jsfx plugins
• Comprehensive PDF guide and online support
• Truly cross-platform: Windows, MacOS & Linux (inc. Raspberry Pi)
• Automatic Source Groups
• with linked attributes
• Intelligent Mixer View
• Collapsible Track Groups
• Quick audition group or track at mouse cursor
• Automatic Preparation of Takes
• Insert with Time-Stretching
• Ready-to-use "analog" and "digital" console templates
• Optional custom toolbar

• One-Button Take Recording
• Whole Project View shortcut
• Modern Loudness Workflows
• World-class Dither & Resampling
• Game-changing DDP creation with intelligent auto-generated marker system
• High-resolution Deliverables

Since the beginning of 2023, ReaClassical now also provides over 50 mastering-grade go-to JSFX plugins that cover the whole gamut of effects including gentle compression (including an easy-to-use Bob Katz-inspired parallel plugin), limiting, EQing, Dithering, DeEssing and gain-trimming as well as high-end analog console emulation and mixbus "glue" compression. These JSFX ports are from existing JSFX (Geraint Luff and Stillwell) or C++ code (airwindows) and sometimes modified for classical music use. There are also several LV2, VST3 and CLAP reverb plugins based on zita-rev1 DSP.

Future plans for ReaClassical include up-to-date videos covering every part of ReaClassical from install to exporting of files, creating a high-quality reverb JSFX, and adding more features requested by ReaClassical users.
