Great stuff!

I suppose why i wasn't used to it coming from Ableton, is that Ableton lets you define the area up/down and left/right with its yellow shading which was more intuitive..

I will start using this though and see how I get on.

Still advocate proper Area Selection for arranging like Ableton and PT where you just shade over the area/items instead of a long column as in Reaper at the moment..

However until then i will try this

Just tried this concentrating on your mouse modifiers intently!!

Works great! thank you!!!

Only wish (slight niggle) that if i selected the last bar of 8 bars say, and pressed delete that it would just split and delete the last bar

As everything is highlighted, you need to split either end then delete..

Ableton again just deletes whats highlighted within its 'area'
So maybe this should be a Reaper 5 FR alongside better Area Selection?

Default Revised wish list

1. Better support for 3rd party VST & AU plugins. With the goal to having the stability and processing efficiency of the native Reaper plugins.

1a. Fix whatever starts getting in the way of itself with high track counts related to this.

2. Grouping functions extended to automation envelopes.

3. Pencil tool for drawing on waveforms by hand. Like Protools except non-destructive (like iZotope works for one example).

4. Better area selection. (Selections currently must start with an item.)

I'm fairly certain there is a way around this, but it would be a nice feature -

When your project has tempo change markers i.e. 2bpm boost on a chorus etc, inserting a click source should follow these changes as midi items do. If you insert a click source for the whole project, it attempts a rate change, but it is universal, and not a rate change for the clicks per tempo area.

This seems like a petty wish, and it may not be worth the work for the feature, however, it would just be one of those great conveniences that I love about Reaper.

In the meantime, I can creat a midi map with a hi hat or something.

Just have someone randomly pull the cables on your audio interface and/or external drives while you are trying to work. Should be about the same experience.

Playback of Acidized (key-embedded) loops in the media explorer in a given key... having to manually tweak every auditioned loop into the appropriate key is a pain. If I want to listen to loops in D, the loop being auditioned is in C, Reaper should be able to automatically pitch shift it up 2 semis. Everything else I want, Reaper does. This is the ONE thing left that drives me insane.

I'll jump in and add:

1) Pre-fader metering. (as an option)

2) Multiple simultaneous plungin windows. All these "virtual channel strips" that are popping up do have nice workflow. Having them tied to one plugin brand is lame.

Default snapshot automation

Only ONE for me

snapshot automation like in PT. So i can select for example 1 verse of a song, write my mixer settings (all or just on selected channels), than recall it in different part of a song. This way it won't be necessary to make all the automation lanes manually, you just make your mix, fine-tune or even do it differently for verser and for choruses, and just select desired part of a song, and recall particular snapshot. Main goal is to have just one automation lane to do some crossfades between two snapshot settings. It would make mixing much, much faster!

I know it can be done with some special markers ans snapshots from SWS, but it's a road thru pain, more like a programmer than mixer this way. It sould be easy like operaing on render queue.

Apologies for my enthusiasm on the subject, I've been beating my head against this problem moreso recently.

If I audition drum beats and anything without a discernible tone in Reaper, it doesn't matter... but if I'm in song sketch mode (whacking together a bunch of tonal loops to see what falls into place), my work pace is literally 1/20th what it should be.

My workflow with this feature:
Select the next loop, see if it sounds right.
My workflow without this feature.
Play the loop, listen to see if it's in key. OK It's not in key. Tweak the pitch. Is it in key? Nope, try again. My ears aren't perfect, it was off. Tweak, re-attempt. Nope try again. Is that the right key? Nope. Tweak, play. Woohoo! OK, in the right key now. Crap, now that it's not grinding the key of the loop against the key of the song, I can hear that this isn't the right clip to add to the song. OK, put the pitch adjust in the media explorer BACK to zero. Beat head against table. Go to the next loop to audition.
This feature appears in every other DAW which supports Acidized loops. Its lack takes what should be a single click, and turns it into, literally, 20 tiny actions.

I know, I know, loops are low quality because of stretching artifacts, and this feature might not be of as much interest to others because of this... but my workflow is such that I get my own bassline or hook in my head into the DAW first. I then sketch and flesh out expanding upon that baseline using off the shelf clips. As the song matures I replace off the shelf loops with my own synth instances or original recordings which follow similar progressions.

This feature would help me with the art of music, and being a programmer myself I know that the difficulty of this task is far less than much of the current backlog for Reaper. They already parse the pitch information, you can see it in the source media properties. I'd do the work myself, but it can't be done via the plugin API... it has to be a native feature in order to work, as far as I can tell.

I'm frustrated that something so simple, and so impactful for me as a musician, is missing. I've tried waiting patiently (it is a FR from half a decade ago, or half of Reaper's life). I feel I'd failed in imparting just how hobbled my workflow is without this, so I've spoken up recently and peppered some old threads on the subject so that there's breadcrumbs leading to the feature request in the vain hope that it might help in getting it addressed.

I am sorry if I've been annoying in the process but I do feel like I'm at my wits' end.

All I want is the ability to have the automation loop along with the midi items on the track. Selecting them and readjusting them after pasting them is more of a pain then it should be. If there's already this feature, let me know.

- ISRC to .wav and .mp3 (and whatever format) support
- ID3 TAG support
- .OMF support

I'm okay with the rest. Overall it's still the most flexible and efficient one around.

Hopefully, for R5 the crackling glitch when rendering the final mix will disappear too. I have this phenomenon since 4.71 64bit and it never happened before during my thousands of renders. Don't start suggesting glitchy plug-ins, I've been using the same Stillwell, iZotope and Melda plugs that have proven to be bombproof for years.

Lanes like the ones in reason for having multi lanes where the clips lock into one single designated lane.

My wishlist:

1. auto disengage FX of a track not only when the track itself is muted, but also when all the possible signal sources were muted or disengaged as well. for example when I have track 1, 2, 3 all sending their output to track 4 that is empty and has no physical input assigned to it, muting track 1, 2, 3 will cut off all the possible signal sources of track 4, at this point, the FX processing of track 4 is no longer necessary as the track contains nothing at all.

2. expand mute button functionality by adding item to its right click menu so that it can be configured to mute only itself or to mute itself and its sends. and it needs some kind of visual cue for this new mode to avoid confusion.


3. Cross track FX parameter modulation.


4. Native support for plugin parameter synchronization. When two or more instances of a giving plugin are present in a project, the ability to synchronize their parameters in almost real time will be a huge time saver, this is in essence a glorified project wide batch parameter modulator, for me, its usefulness cannot be overstated, especially for spatial processing and reverb kind of effects, these effects are mean to glue pieces together, so it's only reasonable to have their parameters synchronized in quite a lot of scenarios, if you guys would walk the last yard and implement a comprehensive dialog to list and select individual parameters with options to reverse them, it would be a godsend.

In and Out Volume for plugins. (BIG one)

higher automation accuracy (timing) regardless of buffersize.

Automation inside items or seperate automation-items, loopable (if desired)

The rest is already perfect for my needs.

This reminds me of Photoshop's layer blend mode (or blending options), audio and image processing share a lot of fundamental principles like bit depth versus color depth, pixel density versus sampling rate, not to mention dynamic range, SNR, dithering et cetera. So a plugin effect is like an audio equivalent of a Photoshop effect layer or filter, logically, if there are some built-in ways to manipulate the audio signal going in and out of a plugin interactively, it would be an epic win, I'm not only talking about the simple blending knobs reaper already have in its sleeve, it's something more powerful like subtracting the original signal with certain percentage of the processed signal, changing the volume of the input/output, band-passing the signal for side-chain uses or just to low-pass the signal going into a plugin to prevent high frequency aliasing down the spectrum, though the processed signal may have some of its top-end sparkles removed, a simple "cumulative difference" blending mode will let the differed signal through (in this case the higher frequency of the original signal, since it is not present in the processed signal), while still maintain the processed signal's bottom end, so the spectrum balance is unaffected. Am I asking too much? probably, but that's my wish nonetheless.

No, but I'm aware of the immense complications a UI zooming system brings, I'd rather see those hundreds, maybe thousands of man hours spent on something useful related to better audio- and MIDI editing, instead of a gimmick like that.
