Hey guys!
Is there any key command where we can click on an insert fx and set it offline instead of right click and choose offline? Something like when we bypass an effect (shift+click).
I already tried some combinations with no luck. For me it will speed up my workflow.
So if there isn't possible right now, then it is a request from me for version 6
*EDIT
Oh GOD!!! I found it the next minute! it is shift+cmd+click!
grrrrrr 8 months without using it!!
Everything's fine!!
An integrated drumrack like native solution
Love for RS5k. With a knob to PLEASE:! Place the sample ahead of time! Daaang.
A session view.
FX channel matrix per track.
Make the UI scale prettier.
MPE Midi improved editor.
and
Folders act as VCAs with no setup. This one... is ... emm. Huge.
1) I would like to see Reaper being able to process natively midi RPN/NRPN messages to control actions. I still have to launch previously OSCII-bot (with a custom script) before Reaper, this with LoopBe1 (virtual MIDI port) constantly running in the background, to be able to use the endless knobs of my MPD32 controller, which is the case in 95% of my Reaper sessions. It's a nuisance...
2) An improved UI with :
- the bottom of the master track mixer strip always at the same level as the other ones, even when the horizontal scrollbar is visible.
- an improved track icons management.
- a mixer toolbar.
- an inspector (or, at least, a second view of the mixer).
- a MIDI editor ruler font exactly the same as the arrangement ruler one.
3) Improved theming features. I could make a twenty items list about these, but the following are urgently needed, in my view :
- the ability to choose the font used for peak values display : we still need at least a 21 pixels wide meter strips to display them correctly without truncating them.
- a set of mcp_master_fxparm*.png images.
- the ability to mask the mcp.sendlist slot zero line when there is only a knob displayed (with a non Walter instruction as the ones used for other zero lines in both tcp and mcp).
- the ability to choose the font used in the MIDI editor track list and both the position and note pitch fields.
- the ability to mask completely the extended mixer area, even if mcp.extmixer.mode is set to [0].
4) An improved navigator with zooming abilities.
Hope that I will see at least few things among all this...
My requirements for any update are "new better useful features or workflows".
No matter what those things are, who needs or wants them most or who doesn't, it's as sure a bet as you'll find anywhere that somebody isn't going to be happy and someone else will be very happy.
I already stated what I would like for a Reaper 6.x generation (post #772).
But, as I'm writing this, I am beginning to have a bad premonition : I am starting to wonder if there will ever be any Reaper 6.x versions. Why so ? Just seeing that the dev crew is piling up more and more updates to Reaper 5.x : there is already a 5.92pre1. AFAIK, this has never happened in the past since Reaper 1.x, which bring us back more than ten years ago. All the other generations that followed have stopped circa X.78 or sooner.
Just hope that I'm wrong but again, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable seeing how things are evolving, Jeffos departure, with Breeder and Banned a while ago, being other things that adds to my unease about all this...
My dream feature is midi-like workflow for subprojects. What I mean:
-Open subproject in dockable tool window, like midi editor.
-Gluing subprojects, that creates new sp item with data from original subprojects, not original sp themselves (currently it creates new wav)
-Pooling data indicator on sp items
This is closely related to "Live" (i.e. non rendered) subprojects, that have been requested in many locations in the forums. You might take a look there.
Enhancing the supbroject "properties" by "Live" and then "Remote" would make Reaper unbeatable.
I forgot to mention a "Rescan Midi Devices" action (not "Reset").
Actually I have some problems with some MIDI devices when I start Reaper, for example my Breath Controller works correctly on Windows and on its own configuration software but very often Reaper doesn't see it.
Sometimes I have to restart Reaper, sometimes I have to unplug - replug the usb of the device to make it works.
I don't know if it's an USB problem (even if with older versions I didn't have this issues) but I think an action like this would be higly appreciated.

I have exactly the same problem. It happens - say - once in 10 startups of the system.
As this is a headless embedded setup the only thing I can do is shut down windows (including power off) and restart it. It then usually works correctly.
OTOH when I start the system with the master-keyboard powered off and then power on the keyboard when Reaper is up, same is not seen, either, of course. But here my automatic firing of the action "Reset all Midi devices" gets the keyboard to be recognized. But it does not help for the Breath Controller .
Please don't Justin. I know midi is old but some of use use the heck out of it.
Reaper is all about being the lean and mean DAW.
You can forget polls that ask what people use their DAWs for. I am fairly confident that dropping MIDI support would remove at very least 95% of the real world customers for any DAW, including Reaper. How much more lean and mean could you get?
Not going to happen. Amazon will drop online sales before that!!!
I heard that v6 will be linux native only. So many rumors flying.
I heard that there's a highly speculative thread on the Reaper forums, accurately predicting exactly what will not be in v6.
I predict a version bump, a new GUI theme, with the meat and potatoes (i.e. ARA2) coming in 6.1 or 6.2 when the bugs are thrashed out (or an ARA2 plugin becomes available...).
Still hoping that imported MIDI, when exploded to different tracks by channel, has Reaper auto assign the correct input and output channel to a default device...
And that editing that track, automatically makes pencil and display tools auto assign to the track's MIDI channel.
I really hope Justin/Schwa consider adding a dedicated mastering mode similar to Studio One V4 but with more advanced mastering focused features like the WaveLab montage.
I love REAPER for what it is and most of the mastering process but all the scripts in the world can't solve what needs to happen for REAPER to become the ultimate all-in-one mastering DAW for Mac and PC which it's fairly close to being even as it sits now.

Do you really believe that something so sophisticated and special (=not a broad mass of users want this) will be implemented? I mean, there are many legit FRs that are easier to implement and still we wait for years. Don't want to discourage you.

I don't believe it actually, but it doesn't hurt to express interest. In my handful of other threads, others have given many +1 replies. Mastering is a smaller niche community than general recording/mixing/production so I get that requests like this are not as common as others. Haven't we had enough MIDI/automation update yet
However, since REAPER is already fairly close to being a great all-in-one mastering DAW, I think it'd be wise for them to take it all the way.
I'm OK with using my two app approach (REAPER/WaveLab) but there is a segment of mastering folks who want to use one app, and would pay a lot for it. Sequoia and SADIE are pretty expensive, and some even think WaveLab is expensive.
Obviously, the mastering focused DAWs are priced higher because they have a much smaller user base than a normal multitrack DAW so that is to be expected to cover development and maintenance costs.
I'm just trying to make Cockos aware of what they could be doing for a segment of engineers that don't have a definitive cross-platform mastering DAW. From reading the mastering forums, many people are Frankenstiening two or more apps, not because they are cheap but for workflow reasons that I think REAPER is closest to overcoming of them all.
Nobody has really nailed it yet, especially for the modern hybrid digital/analog/digital approach as well as keeping up on all the metadata entry etc. Some apps are good at one thing or another thing but especially for MacOS users, we have to Frankenstien a workflow or suffer working slowly in some aspect of the process.
I think you might be surprised how many mastering engineers are switching to Reaper. It has become a very popular mastering tool. Recently on Gearslutz there was a poll on which mastering tool Mastering Engineers are using, and when I last checked Reaper was leading the poll. People love the Render Queue and the customization features, among others.
While I'm not a mastering engineer, I do master and release my own CDs, and I would really appreciate better mastering features. And I think everyone (not just ME's) would appreciate MP3 ID tags and easier / better metadata capabilities.
