Thanks for the animated gif how to's! I finally have it working on an orchestral project I'm working on with 16 tracks of orchestral instruments.

Part of my issue was trying to have Kontakt on a folder track, and the midi/audio tracks as child tracks.

I like this way of doing it a lot better than having 33 tracks for 16 instruments. Much cleaner and functions like having individual VSTi's.

Thanks again!

No problem.

It is possible also to using folder but you must leave channels 1-2 always free and start routing from channels 3-4.




@edit Sorry, to use folders you must do some complicated routing because it seems all tracks in folder sends 1st midi channel by default.



Avoiding complex routing there is a easier way... to use midi channels so instrument1 use first midi channel, instrument 2 use second midi channel.

@edit2
Looks like everything is possible, just must leave 1-2 chan. to hear stereo mix.

We've had click tracks in one form or another, more or less since the dawn of mankind. The modern metronome dates back to 1815.

1815 ?
seems a little recent to me for "dawn of mankind", (what a strange term to use) but 1815 is well within the timeframe for the industrialisation of music.

my point is that Reaper 5 will be hard to top. It will take a lifetime just to learn it the way it is, not being sarcastic or a cheapskate.

besides that, what is the endgame, in all seriousness, for incrementing whole digits on software? do we get to Reaper 12 and start over like a clock face, or are we on military time for example and go to Reaper 24? (that was a bit tongue in cheek)

your videos are awesome.

No. After v10, Reaper will have matured enough to enter 'the next level' of it's evolutionary journey. It will then no longer be a Reaper, but have reached the level of Slayer! Moaahaha

Answering the main question of this topic's the first post, I think the most important thing I would focus in version 6 is the ability to have multiple linked midi editors open at the same time:



I explained and described it thoroughly in this thread:

That'd be great. I also had some weird issue consolidating multiple MIDI tracks for editing akin to something like a conductor's score. Caused all kindsa playback issues. Only 4 tracks of MIDI. Not sure what was wrong...

Default Minor thoughts

First off, to anyone who says "make it look/behave more like X, Y or Z" - no. REAPER is a sense the Linux of DAWs. If you want to make it like something else, you already can, pretty much. In fact, you can already make it pretty much anything you want - MyTools or Mybase, or just MyDaw...
To anyone who wants stuff bundled with it - also no. The supplied plugs are perfectly usable. Add what you want to it, and only what you want. To my mind, this is the great USP of REAPER (plus the supportive forum community of course).
I have friends who have storage drives groaning with massive packages of stuff that "came with things" and they only ever use about 10% of it. Incidentally, these are often the kind of people who are constantly complaining about running out of space...
If you suddenly find yourself minded to, or required to investigate the possibilities of traditional Korean instruments or whatever, go get em and learn on the job.

The one thing I would like is more detailed control over the tempo envelope in the master. It seems at the moment that you can only change abruptly between measures. If it can already do this, my apologies and I'd love someone to tell me how. It would brighten my day.

But if you are planning on buying a guitar, don't even consider one if it doesn't come with 10 FX pedals, a guitar stand, gig bag, all necessary cabling, and an amp! Why would anybody want to have to go through the daunting task of choosing FX or the amp they will use with a new guitar?

I'm new to Reaper and I am excited for this amazing DAW but the only thing that makes my life harder comparing to Logic, Pro Tools and Studio One, is the takes comping.
Another one thing that I'd like to see is a smoother horizontally scrolling of the mixer with a trackpad.
ARA implementation too, but I see that it's coming soon!
Well, whatever else will be welcomed!
Kudos to all the people behind Reaper and special thanks to Kenny Gioia for the amazing tutorials!

There is a script for smooth scrolling. I have it applied to the mousewheel, don't know about trackpad. It needs to be downloaded from reapack and setup as a custom action, described here:

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the whole numbers affect the pricing.

If you buy REAPER 5, then you're good until REAPER 7.

So I would "guess" that they decide what should be a full number release based on when people should be charged again for a license.

And for that reason, if they want to go 5.62, 5.63, 5.64, 5.65, Etc. I won't complain, although I will feel slightly guilty for getting so many updates across such a wide span of time.

You are correct but from a software release perspective, build numbers often have specific meanings, A whole number change usually means major release where minor build number increments mean bug fixes, incremental changes and smaller feature additions. That can get blurry here but also aligns with "Ok there are enough big changes here, we need to bump the major build number" which happens to affect who pays or not based on the version they are currently on.

This is true from what I've seen.

Unlike many other companies that are trying to increase sales, REAPER doesn't hold back great new features for a full number release. Like Automation Items or Notation Editing for example.

This is a good thing but can feel like a let down as you might not get as many big changes in the next numbered release.

Yea exactly, I had to word carefully because of major release type features right in the middle of V5. And if memory serves (could be wrong) the V6 beta would have appeared last December ish based on previous cadences so I had been wondering. Don't quote me on that time frame just seems like the major release cadence took a 1 year break.

I have no idea how they decide I just know that we get a lot more features in each version compared to other companies. Especially major ones.

They just don't line them up with major version changes as much.

Except for themes and videos.

I doubt you'll see a REAPER 5.65 Explained video series.

Makes me wonder what they are going to put in V6 to oneup V5. I already know one major difference between V5 and V6...

Recently wanted to patch this device,but have had to give up on that-needs repair to continue making any presets for it...

For me rs5000 is good, just need some attention from time to time to upgrade it with some features like portamento.
Now, musician/user/producer when first launch DAW is expecting to play something, make sound. Reaper has not any samples so some usable synth would fill this gap perfectly, specially combined with good sampler.
Reasytnh or Reasynthdrums like I said before are useless garbage. Every DAW has its own decent synth that is DAWs showcase, Reasynth is aint best one for Reaper.
Eq, comp, xcomp, fir, surround, delay and few others are more than solid (for me awesome).

I know I was really happy to have a lightweight daw to run on an old xp pc when my main computer went down. I'm pretty sure there are still a significant user base who dont upgrade their computer on a regular basis. Is it that much work to keep Reaper running for older computers/OS ?

I was wondering that too. I really don't want Cockos to start being an instruments and plugins developer. I much prefer to select my own and not have my DAW provider doing it for me.

I don't think there is much chance of reasamplomatic5000 getting a lot of attention from the devs at this point.

They do an incredible amount of good work, but I think to get something like that to be really on a level where it would be a good replacement for 3rd party plugins, would be way too much work for a small team. They'd have to put everything else on the back burner for a while, imo.

To me, especially with things like the free kontakt player being available, there is no reason for them to spend so much time on that.

TBH- rs5k is not actually that attractive to programme,or use {imo} - it just is- old--but it is a native '1 shot sample player'.
Just needs some attention/repair perhaps.. >we could offer cherries and grapes_ to attract developer repair department attentions. =)

Why not keep some stuff totally 'native'? 3rd party softwares are otherwise essential -right? no?
Also think cockos are doing an incredible job maintaining the amount already on offer-the list of features and functions is huge if totalled!..but-- this is not an excuse for stuff that plain needs fixing__ as they do come as part of default installer...>yo? // no?
Who quite knows what these guyz have in mind..... hold tight i reckon.. future looks very promising.

I just think it's too much work. I think with programming, sometimes getting something 90% of the way there is easy enough. Then getting all these details, and little exceptions, and little features all becomes a shitload of work. One of the reasons I think cockos is able to do so much, is because of the way they choose to implement features. They are pretty smart about it, and accept certain limitations sometimes. Other companies I think are more goal oriented, where they want a certain result, look, and features, that some higher up execs wanted, and then you have the programming teams that just need to make it happen, whatever it takes, basically. I think it's a bit more complex than that, but that's the gist.

Cockos isn't like that though. It's the programmers that decide what they do, knowing how their software works, and what will be relatively easy and what will be relatively difficult, even if programming always ends up a little more complicated than you'd think because of the chain of the way things interact, and because of exceptions you might want, but dont' really notice as an exception because seems obvious to you, and people, but computers only do exactly what you tell them.

So, I suspect that this feature was implemented so that they had something, and they made it as well as they could, having taken other things into consideration, and it's really kind of a low priority thing at this point, but would cost a lot of resources to take further.

I mean, that's all speculation on my part, but from having been around reaper for a while, that's the way the business seems to work, to me.

I think that's why reaper is so small in filesize too, because it's just really efficiently designed. And that might make it a little less beautiful looking sometimes, but that's a good corner to cut, imo.

There's a growing list of professional mastering engineers that would love to see REAPER make some workflow additions/improvements to be a more friendly mastering solution from start to finish.

REAPER is great for about 90% of the mastering process but falls short for the last 10% which is why others and myself finalize projects in other apps (WaveLab or HOFA etc) that aren't REAPER.

I know there are people using REAPER for 100% of the mastering process but those are special cases and it's not inviting for the average mastering engineer to configure and deal with.

I think if Cockos (Justin and Schwa) reached out to this small but passionate community REAPER could be the #1 cross-platform mastering DAW.

Recently wanted to patch this device,but have had to give up on that-needs repair to continue making any presets for it...

TBCH- i would rather cockos stop and take stock-- = get all they have right now in total harmony and top working order-- <then> move onto the next batch of features.
I love new features-- but i also love things that actually work.
I think the list of bugs only increase because an engine needs stabilizing before supercharging. =)
Fair enough, Bri1. I was really talking about the meat'n'potatoes ReaStuff. I mean, having things like algo and convo reverb engines, multiband compression, etc straight out of the box really isn't that bad for the price. Okay, they could all be prettier, but hey.

Perhaps if they're not going to fix/support things like RS5000 they shouldn't bother and just let people go third-party. Presumably, if people are serious about that side of things, they're going to do that anyway.

Can't remember which one it was, but I did once use a stock REAPER sample plug for a quick and dirty trigger repair job on a kick mic that someone had well... kicked while walking past. Not exactly state of the art, but it worked - with a bit of massaging.

Thanks! I'll take a look on that to see if it does work for a trackpad.

Where does Reaper fall short for that?
