IF you plan on persevering with reaper, there is any amount o fhelp available on the repaer user forum. if you google search the forum on bcf2000 you will find several very very helpful threads.
A gent named Klinke has come up with a really good basic setup for BCF and reaper - I was banging my head on a brick wall till I found it and now my BCF2000 is working great, including the transport, etc.
As far as Reaper is concerned, I am ex Sonar up to 8.5.3 and struggled with switching the sonar part of my brain off to start with. Reaper IS different but in a good way.
Can I suggest that you try again but this time download reamenus version 8, which removes a lot of the clutter from the first menus you get to see, also SWS`s modifications to Reaper, which add a lot of functionality without much effort.
The combination of the three makes Reaper a LOT easier to adapt to, particularly since it is SO flexible and customisable but of course this is a weakness as well as a strength.
KLINKE!> For the life of me I can't figure out how to get the tranport button to work on my BFC2000 in Reaper I got fader movements and pan movement but when I hit the transport button on my BFC2000 I get a midi error message.
