Default What should be the next big Reaper think ?

after notation and AI enveloppe features, what could be the next big think in Repear ?

I vote for midi CC line (instead of bars) and a midi transform tool.

Obviously it'll be articulation management.

Continuous lines for CCs are probably never gonna happen.

Articulation is obviously rather close to being released. (Killing CuBase for Midi workers)

I suppose one of the next not-yet-started features might be ARA, as the request and obvious benefit is striking. (Killing Cubase for sound engineers with the help of Melodyne)

(Even though my personal wish would be realtime and then remote Subprojects, which would make a great difference, even if not that obviously. (Killing any other DAW) )

Rendering the entire user interface in 3D so the track view looks like you're flying through a digital city, like what Hollywood thinks computer hackers do.

Continuous CC would be really nice, as would better articulation management.

Of course including the ability to run e.g. Kontakt and all it's commercially licensed Sample libraries...

Would be indeed a Killer-Feature, but unfortunately by far too hard to do to be "the next big thing".

Of course Cockos will not stop with Desktop Linux but go on to develop "Reaper Linux for Android/ARM" and "Reaper for iOS" (an ARM processor and a Unix based OS, too), as well

Great future to come ! Reaper Rocks !!

I don't know if this is a "big thing", as it seems to be rather simple to do:

Include ReaPack as "native" feature (always showing "get extensions" as the first entry in the "extensions" menu, similar to the "Tools"->"add-ons" menu in Firefox).

This would be helpful for users (obviously), Reaper devs and the helpful supporting crowd in the forums (not needing to bother with answering feature requests that can be handled that way and pointing to not easily findable add-ons), and for extension/script creators (providing a decent way of deploying their great work).

On top of this, a context help feature (e.g. for JSFXes) and/or appropriate entries in the Help menu could show the ReaScript provided documentation text.

Neither is an audio cd, but it gets converted to an analog signal to make music. Continuous curves are more intuitive for some of us.

Why,

Reaper is the only DAW whith no continuous CC, it makes it so easier to manage CC datas !

Reaper can't contain 3rd developers' extensions, even they're free.

Because I haven't seen any interest on this matter ... if you want I can gladly give a ++++1 ... but I don't think "they" will invest time on this. I am just being honest.

Sorry I don't know what you mean by "contain" and "3rd party".
Of course cockos would need to work out the conditions with cfillion.
For a start ReaPack could just be in the distribution and be automatically installed (similar to the Video extension). Maybe the installer could allow for omitting it if the user does not want it.

Of course it can, if that is arranged with the 3rd party developer and so on...

The best option is just to put a link to it on the official site.

Yeah-this^ would be a kool addition-bringing proper synthesis and modulation to reaper natively.
Having at least 1 rea lly decent contained synth generator/fx unit might be a selling point.
Might go hand-in-hand with the lbx stripper?
The dev may be happy to be part of a bright team.

Having midi envelopes like audio items has right now-seems perfectly logical <here>.

There's also offline web audio api's that could be taken advantage of,along with other small devs like this opengl modder> Vovoid Media Technologies > http://www.vsxu.com/development/compiling-from-source

- Real (and natively integrated) non-midi item one-click groove quantization management like link below

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NDm8cT45Uw

- better take comping (a la Logic pro but even better can be done)

- native track versioning management (thus avoiding hidden tracks, etc)

- (not-a-big-thing) visual indication of track that have been partially or entirely frozen

Articulation management will be great, but for most working with midi in Cubase, the final nail in the coffin will have to be better CC management. Cubase is way ahead in this area but with a little CC love, Reaper could be too.

Two relatively simple additions could fix this:

1. Render CCs not as bars but as connected points
2. A graphic overlay that encloses selected CCs and has drag handles in the top, corners and sides. These handles could have default functions (compress, expand, tilt, scale), but for true Reaper awesomeness, they should be assignable by mouse modifier to custom scripts so you can make them do anything.

What a glorious day that would be

IMHO a silly idea.
Of course a target device will not "jump" its internal parameter setting when a CC arrives, but do some kind of smoothing. But the way this smoothing is done is completely up to that device. A curve of connected points is nothing but a dangerous fake.

A ReaSamplomatic5K more POWERFUL !

- Hold pedal
- Mute group
- Toggle option for loops with a pad controler (start/stop-start/stop to the next time/mesure)
- Options for layers velocity (the layers values)
- Aftertouch for stop the sample (eDrum cymbals) personnaly special request
- Ability to directly record the sample, on the fly, into reasamplomatic. A record mode in short. With control for play in loop after end of the record, it could be a sort of looper.

this can be (partially) achieved by having a curve drawing tool overlaid on the CC bars. For those who prefer thinking in terms of curves, they can manipulate the curve, and the (still visible) bars change accordingly. A solution like this gets rid of the objection that the data is not continuous but allows for thinking and manipulating in terms of curves. And of course if you did not want curves at all then you turn that overlay off

That is exactly what other DAWs are doing. But perhaps I chose the wrong words. I meant points that are connected graphically but stepwise - not linear. I agree that a graphical representation that gives the impression of interpolation / smoothing would be a mistake.

In the end the main thing is that Reaper's wonky CC bars are ill suited for finer CC curve work.

Nice idea, but I still think the bars themselves will have to go. They are ok (still a bit wide) for velocity, but for CCs they should at the very least be narrower.

I would prefer lines over bars - it is not as if we are plotting histograms in excel

Yep, I read the forums and very sad to see people find new bugs every day. Although my experience with REAPER is way less buggy (I don`t know why, my projects are pretty complex).

What JUlian said.
Boring, not much fun, but essential IMO.

And after that A DECENT arrange window with individual bars on individual tracks shown as blocks that can be copied/pasted/cut etc to form a full arrangement in SECONDS!!!!!!!

I was doing this in Bars n Pipes Pro in the early 1990s why cant we do it NOW?
