Integrations
Two DAWs, distinct project workflows
REAPER and Ableton share Prest's browser experience, but they connect and divide songs differently. Choose by the way your live projects are already organized.
Capability comparison
| Capability | REAPER | Ableton Live |
|---|---|---|
| Runtime | Embedded in the Prest REAPER plugin | Rust bridge started by a Python Remote Script |
| Project organization | Folder of separate projects or sections in one project | One Live Set with locators |
| Transport | Play, pause, stop, locate, repeat, metronome | Play, pause, stop, locate, loop, metronome |
| Timed text | Prepared REAPER project data | Clip names on Lyrics and Chordtrack tracks |
| Project switching | Separate project files are supported | Single-project workflow only |
REAPER
Use the native plugin and choose a multi-project folder or single marker-based project.
