It's really easy to create screencasts as the GUI is simple and straightforward. It does one thing, but it does it very well. I also like that the app is lightweight and launches almost instantly.

Reaper is one of the best recording software you´ll found out there. Mainly, I use it to record songs and sell them to users on Fiverr (using my voice and an acoustic guitar), and they come out with great commercial quality. What I mostly love of this software is how easy it is to link the recording hardware with Reaper (by only clicking the software a few times); I also enjoy its click and cut tool, which allows me to erase and cut any part of the recording I dislike, in an easy way. The most amazing part is that I can easily export my files in any known audio format I choose (like WAV or MP3).

Reaper allows you to evaluate indefinitely and at some point, you'll be happy to pay the measly fee to get rid of the reminder when you open the program! very powerful software and allows you to tailor it to your personal style and needs completely! very impressed.
