yeah, I never really vibed with reaper until years later when multitrack recording was the main thing I was doing. The first DAW I really jammed with (besides FL off Kazaa) was Propellerhead Reason, which is sort of the exact opposite of Reaper. I actually haven't used many external plugins myself with Reaper, I mentioned Odin2 because that's the only synth VST Ive installed, unless DrumGizmo counts.
You're 100% right to warn, I gave up on using Reaper a couple times in the past, but once I got it (thanks youtube tuts) it became my DAW for life
