There's a dot in that version number, so I'm going to install it and not worry about the impending end of the world thing!

Edit: Computer and REAPER both still working, and there were no demons to speak of.

[nait]

The most metal of updates! \m/

[ForrestH]

...it'd have been a magnificent troll to spin the version number out to 6.65999 and then skip straight to 6.67...

[MiddleC]

There is no way it doesn't have some bugs. Just... karmically.

[mykrobinson]

I'm just gonna leave this little REAPER 6.66 video i made right here for anyone who wants to participate in the silliness

If you use this version you will go to hell, but you will make the greatest music you've ever made along the way!

[MiddleC]

Might have to bring my slide guitar and a laptop to the intersection near my house and record a little something before I upgrade again.

If that's how it works I hope little Vlad got the memo!

Hell, I even chose this accursed version number to try the special dev-iant version that dare not speak its name with compatibility with the diseased plugin format that dare not speak its name.

Thought to try it before we all burn, for it exists not in this realm, but to be judged solely in the pre domain. Mortals beware there be dragons (well some bugs inevitably anyway).

[persy]

may all versions moving forward be Reaper 6.66 v1,2,3 to infinity.

V6.67 will drop within days and world peace will follow.

Gotcha,

A piece of the world here, a piece of the world there..

This is the best version ever.

We should stay on it.

All hail Satan.

[BellesOndes]

Updating to this hellish 666 version and sticking to it

[bob]

I'm afraid to install. I don't want sonic demons to manifest my equipment 😱

[azimuth]

Jack Butler was one of the earliest adopters of this version.

The other day I took one of the mixes that I'd done in 6.66 and played it backwards. I heard the subliminal message "Thank you for licensing your copy of Reaper."

So, yes. Beware.

Is there already a petition to keep this version forevah? Where do I sign? (in blood I guess )

I have a few 96kHz/24-bit wav files, all a bit over an hour long. Their size is a bit over 2GB per file but the media explorer shows their size per file as 1.10GB. They're in a database, if that matters.

Are they mono or stereo files?

What OS is this on?

If you view the files not in a database, do they show the correct size?

Ah yes, apologies for a slightly sloppy post.
Stereo files, Win10x64 21H2. No difference if they're in a DB or not.

Here's 2 of them:


Windows Explorer selected file info says 1.98GB, Reaper explorer 1.10GB
