I hate to say it, but right here is one of the classic problems the devs face.
A lot of us come to Reaper with a huge amount of experience in other environments where things have tended to be done in parallel ways in the vast majority of apps.
And then J & Co come along and upset the apple cart by making us actually work at getting our own environment set up before we can do any work!
Being a lazy old git, I AM having a lot of difficulty adapting to this, especially as my main objective here is to make music.
I suspect this is what has prompted the sudden spate of "Reaper should be simpler to work in from the get-go for newbies"
It isn`t the newbies that need help adjusting, they have no ingrained habits.
It`s all us old duffers!
And I suppose this thread should be heading to the lounge any time...
I will just plod on and I`m sure it will all click eventually.
One of my biggest problems is figuring out something cool for my config and then forgetting how I did it.
