Fantastic list of updates!

Just a reminder that this tempo bug has not yet been fully fixed:

For example, here is a 1-measure time selection with a tempo marker close to the right edge (all tempos are 120bpm and ruler is set to seconds):

Is this working on it's own or you have to turn it on somewhere? If so, where?

edit: found the answer in the manual, duh!
Quote:
Start REAPER and open the appropriate track's FX chain.
Select the FX. From the preset + menu select Link to MIDI
program change and select a channel (e.g. Channel 16).

"+ Media explorer: avoid creating time selection on tiny mouse moves"

RIP inadvertently creating savage wavetable basses.

However, now those perfect loop points don't get misclicked away as easily

This is smart; it's the type of user experience/quality of life improvement I always push for.

I've interrupted myself with the "No envelope selected" dialog box numerous times.

This solution poses some interesting questions.

Do those who deselect the envelope more often intend to paste automation into the last touched envelope, rather than last created automation lane?

Would considering track selection solve this?

so with global scope for something like spacebar for transport: Play/stop I've run into two issues.

1 - plugin authorization windows that require typing suddenly became more difficult
2 - can no longer use spacebar for play/stop in the media explorer when it has focus.

I set spacebar as a global shortcut so that plugin windows don't block transport, but now I have two other problems. ಠ_ಠ

help?

Things like you describe happen when software isn't fully tested before being released.

Same goes for the Omnisphere patch search box. Space bar isn’t recognising that box, instead it’s starting the playback.

We need more details. Are you using the ARA II version of Melodyne? Using it as an item effect or track effect? What is your buffer setting? Mac/PC etc.

I'm in a similar place as you. This message caught my eye. I'm here from Samplitude Pro X4. Have all of a week of experience with Reaper so far. I assume any glitch right now is due to my own inexperience. But up until this morning... everything was working like a well-oiled machine. Making steady progress. Not a single complaint. Until this morning.

One of the reasons I'm here from Samplitude Pro X4 is because I was having nothing but problems working with either Auto-Tune (I have the latest "Pro" version along with V7), or Melodyne (I have the "Assistant" version). And there were other issues related to VST handling but I had workarounds for most of them. But I am keen on moving on to something else.

Getting back to Reaper, everything was working flawlessly to date. The sample project I was using worked fine. I've been opening and closing that same project for a week. However, this morning, Reaper crashed and took my test project with it. It was my fault for not enabling the auto-save feature. But that wouldn't explain the root cause of the crash. From the opening splash/popup screen, I can see a running list of all the devices and features being loaded when I boot up Reaper. Attempting to re-load the project just resulted in Reaper stalling/hanging-up. Again, requiring a reboot of Reaper. The last device name before it hangs was Auto-Tune Pro (VST3). So I'm thinking it had something to do with the latest version of AT. Melodyne wasn't initially putting the blobs in their proper places - just all the blobs in a straight line. So it was both of those. I was also curious if anyone else was having issues with either AT or Melodyne. Thanks!

PS - I should mention that this was a bare-bones, mostly default Reaper install/setup. I hadn't tweaked anything related to memory buffers, timing, etc. Mostly cosmetic enhancements. I'm using ASIO drivers from my Sonic Core Scope 5 system. I didn't have many VSTs (and no VSTis) loaded into a 26 track project. I had just started auto-tuning one of the vocal tracks before everything went haywire.

I´m opening a (empty)new file.
When i´m opening just the master track, everything works fine.
But when i´m adding a ("normal")track and click on master track, reaper crashes.

BTW: In Version v5.978 i got no crashes while i open/edit/touch master track.

On latest Reaper install, not sure if this is a bug (visually). I found in Mac OS Mojave you can use a terminal command to add dark mode to apps. Basically this:

'defaults write com.cockos.reaper NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance 0'

Replace the 0 with a 1 to revert. My question/query was now all windows (and top bars) in my theme are dark, except for the FXPlug window background. Shouldn't this follow the same colour background as say the 'window background' in the theme editor? I don't get why this is the only window that doesn't follow the look as all others (media explorer, IO etc). Sorry if this isn't the right place to post.

I ve installed a portable Version on my Windows...and in this Version nothing Crashes. So it could be The Extensions. I will Look for it in detail.


I installed a new version of csi to reaper and it works fantastic!
Thanks to "schwa" for the hint!

This seems to have gotten lost up above, but I would like to report I am also having this issue.

Windows 10, Reaper 64-bit.

To repeat, hold down a key, then tweak a plugin parameter with the mouse. While still holding down the mouse button, release the key. The note will stay playing until it is pressed again or the Virtual MIDI keyboard is closed.

Note that this is happening when "Send all keyboard input to virtual MIDI keyboard (even when other windows active)" is checked.

I noticed with the new render selected media items via master feature, that the behavior of parent tracks is different than when rendering selected items normally.

If you render a parent track item normally, it will also have the audio from all the child tracks. This is super useful so I wouldn't want this to go away. But when you are rendering a parent track item through master, it doesn't take into account any of the audio in the child tracks. It would be amazing if it did, because this would solve a lot of rendering workflow issues when dealing with overlapping stems.

Same applies to "render selected tracks thru master". Child tracks aren't taken into account. This would really be a killer feature and make stemming so easy.

So, when you select this woodwinds folder:

WOODWINDS
- Flutes
- Clarinet
- Bassoon

All children (Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon) are rendered in one go.

And if you do the same with strings:

STRINGS
- 1st violin
- 2nd violin
- viola

Then we can render the WOODWINDS and STRINGS stem, just by selecting the two in one go.

Hmm that action updates the toolbar state here. Or do you mean when changing the input quantize state via an API?

Indeed it does and a few days ago Cycle actions editor reported it couldn't register due to the same action not reporting toggle state.

No idea, maybe some extension caused problems (I did remove some unused extensions yesterday) or it's mandela effect or something. No idea, thanks for answering still
