there is now very little difference between destructive and non destructive=
 editing. if you save the file with a new name, your original file is not t=
ouched at all, in any editing program. and you can always make a copy and w=
ork on that.

Reaper does non destructive editing, doesn't it? If so, it's a very differe=
nt beast to Audacity, even if it ends up delivering the same results.

I've been meaning to give it a try.

Reaper is actually really easy to use once when gets past the basics & ther=
