Awesome! It always annoyed me that ReaEQ constanly used 0% CPU. Now, with 6.12, ReaEQ is actually producing CPU cycles on its own. I even removed my CPU alltogether and now my whole system runs on ReaEQ alone! <3

All joking aside, great stuff I'm still amazed how fast the new lead/follow nomenclature was added!

thanks as always for the ever ongoing updates...

I do have a personal wish... for the Inline MIDI editor to get some serious love...

it is a super valuable part of reaper to me [me, me, me!] so I really wish it was easier to work in... It does not behave nicely with the actions for it...

quick example.... I have the arrow keys set to the actions to move notes left, right, up and down... and they work perfectly in the normal MIDI Ed., but in the Inline, when I press a left or right arrow key, it will move the note the first time I press and after that it will not move it any more...so having to then use the mouse to move notes really slows down the work...

[*]+ Routing: fix issues relating to feedback in routing [t=235395]

I posted an very similar bug, that was quoted in the thread of the update by Fabian( and looked to be the same ) and was not resolved in changes by 6.12. My thread https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=234605
since already made some changes in routing maybe in 6.13 might give it a look ?

this image may resume the bug:


Made this gif also demonstrating it changing the order of the tracks change the feedback that works (grey track sending MIDI and blue and pink sending back AUDIO)
Gif: https://i.imgur.com/bescXKL.mp4

Also, Awesome release!

PS: How to embed video in the forum as imgage is img then /img???

Copy - Paste FX from one mixer channel to another one appears to have broken.
Adds a duplicate of the copied track to the track list instead.

Where you've got "JS: VCA Lead" etc.?
In my v6.12 I have (hopefully) "JS: VCA Master" etc.

Sure.

1. Add Track "A"
2. Add Track "B"
3. Add Insert FX to track A
4. On MCP of track A right-click and copy FX
5. Select track B and paste FX

It will add a new track. Seems that when the MCP of track A is selected it adds the effect to the new track whereas when track B is selected it just adds an empty track.
But I am not sure how the bug works exactly, would need to do some thorougher testing.

Anyway the gif by Dimson shows exactly what is going on.

Or it doesn't matter?

There should be a new option in preferences for media item solo as there is for muted unmuted.

And please:
Option for showing FX Browser's "Filter" edit line and "Clear filter" button at the bottom of the Window - as it always was before.
That new position (on top) totally broke my workflow (not only mine, there are also others requesting it here too).

So, please, +1000 for adding the option. Thanks.

Using Steinberg Spectral layers in ARA2 mode with reaper has some weird behaviour using the CTRL +Z , does not undo the edit inside spectral layers . Removes FX from the media item insert.

Yeah, I don't understand why the option was removed. Now FX browser takes more place.

No, it isn't

Downloaded official v6.12, installed as portable, run, opened FX Browser, typed VCA and got 2 results: "VCA Master" and the second one that is prohibited to say or write, you know. (No matter what options I choose to diplay in FX Browser's panels - filename etc...).

I have no need for them. I was just curious.

It's almost unusable how it is now. Too bad it's "change by remove" (definitely no Reaper's way)

Shouldn't matter.

Buf if it matters, then it's a bug in installer, I think.

I am on Mac (High Sierra). Plugin type doesn't matter.

However I have tried a fresh portable install and there it doesn't happen. Also tried to open my default template and theme with the portable install and it doesn't happen. Probably some preference in my main Reaper install that isn't compatible with v 6.12?

This is going to be tough to troubleshoot...

Ah try removing your ~/Library/Application Support/REAPER/reaper-install-rev.txt or %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\reaper-install-rev.txt and restarting REAPER, that should fix!

So it is, after resetting the menu on default values and rebooting reaper the problem is gone. But now we have to re-tune the menu, and it's inconvenient((

Yes it is the menu customization. It is sufficient to remove the copy&paste commands from the customized menu and drag them again from the default menu into the custom one.

It's weird though, why does it work when I customise it the exact same way again? Why has it stopped working before re-customizing?

Re-downloaded 6.12(b) to get the "VCA Lead" etc. JSFX (to test).

Now it's brilliant. Broken backward compatibility. Projects using these effects are not compatible in earlier 6.x version due to this slight/big change.

Older project loads fine in 6.12b (automagicaly remapping vca_master to vca_lead) but after re-saving in 6.12b it becomes incompatible for older versions, because there is no such intelligent remapping in them.

I don't care about nomenclature of the Functions (we can call them however we want if we want and still know what do they do) but this is something different

(edit) It has broken forward compatibility, not backward compatibility. However you can use the renamed versions on old versions of REAPER (or install 6.12 then install the old version, the new JSFX will stick around) as a workaround.
