I feel conscience bound to post this.
I am changing from Audacity to Reaper to do my vocal recordings. Yesterday I spent all day trying to get rid of a weird "echo" that happened in my records and renders. It ruined all of my attempts to record. I tried to change settings. I tried a different Linux Audio system; Jack didn't change it. I scoured endless forums and other people had the same issue but couldn't solve it. People suggested that it was latency or a bad driver.
Today I found out what's going on. It wasn't me. It was that in Reaper version 6 Reaper by default sets the "monitoring echo" to aid musicians who want to hear their music as they play. But this is atrocious for us. There is hope! I stumbled on the YouTube Channel "REAPER for Voice Talent". Go to the video "Recording in REAPER on a PC - REAPER DAW Tutorial". It shows how to turn off this "monitoring echo" permanently!
Don't thank me. Thank Steven Gonzalez instead! Thanks a lot Reaper. Cockos have lost all credit from me for this. One more piece of nonsense like this and I will be looking elsewhere. I wasted a LOT of time not knowing what the heck was going on; the last time that I used Reaper before version 6 this didn't happen.
Important Warning about Reaper version 6 and a solution.

Things may get reset to default after a major update. If you go to Reaper Preferences>General you can generate a configuration file that you can simply import with all of your preferred settings. Good thing to have if there is another update or you have to reinstall the app.
