Still getting the same issue where the 'clear time selection' mouse modifier in the 'track' section is clearing loop points instead.

Default point shape in MIDI editor when set to Square still doesn't work.

I'll also leave two of my earlier posts just in case they come useful:

It seems if I remove composite_toolbar_overlay.png, it fixes itself, but then it screws the rest of the theme.

Could you please provide for some way that png files without any pixels don't have the overlay done over them?

Could this maybe be an option available per item?
I guess this is left not to break old projects, but it's really confusing because it's practically the same option as beats (position, length, rate).

However, best approach (imho), would be to have the option global for the whole project and set in project preferences. In that way, it wouldn't clutter item properties dialog with another check mark.

Fixing!

Re the other two:

1) can you give me the toolbar image in question you're testing with?

2) The new timebase is only available per-item. Or did you mean you want it available at the project level?

If you have loop points linked to time selection (Options/Loop points linked to time selection), it will clear both... is that what you mean?

No, in the mouse modifiers preferences ('track' context menu) I have ctrl+left click set to 'clear time selection', however it's clearing loop points and NOT the time selection. I do not have time selection and loop points linked.

Very odd! What OS is this?

Can you make a gif (using licecap or similar) where you show your mouse modifier preferences page that is relevant, then go demonstrate the issue? thanks!

I am in a new project.

Trying Massive X synth by Native Instrument.
All good until I record on the MIDI track.

When I try to record with the metronome's pre-count, the output of the instrument gets muted and I need to reload the preset to reactivate the sound. (If pre-roll option checkbox is checked it bugs)
Otherwise, when I record while I'm already playing the instrument or without the pre-roll, it's all good.

Is there anything that can be linked to the pre-release ?

I'm on Win 10 1909.

Here is a gif -

https://stash.reaper.fm/37634/time%2...e%206.0rc9.gif

At the start of it I'm using ctrl+left click and you can see the loop points disappearing and not the time selection. I realised whilst recording this that if I set 'clear time selection' to alt-left click instead then it works fine, which is odd.

This made me wonder if there was something going on with my mouse or the logitech mapping software, so I turned the mapping software off, and also checked some of the other actions that require ctrl-click, they all work fine. Also, this issue only popped up on RC.08, I've checked and it's not happening with older builds, so I'm pretty sure the issue is not at my end.

A head scratcher for you enjoy!

That depends - is it also happening with the full release version of Reaper?

Thank you!

1) https://stash.reaper.fm/37635/spacer...9%20images.zip

2) I meant that the option was requested for years in various FRs and it would make much more sense to have it globally because usually when you use timbase Beats (position, length, rate) you except for it to react to tempo changes.

In current implementation, you would constantly have to re-set it for every new item in a scenario where it is much more probable the user will want it for the whole project. That's why I'm saying it would make much more sense not to even have it available per-item but per-project setting that relates to every instance of timebase Beats (position, length, rate) (it would also help with many existing custom scripts and macros that use SWS actions for timebase that report toggle state)



edit on 2)
I can see how in certain sound design scenarios per-item preference could be useful, but I still feel using a separate option instead of a special timebase would be a smart choice here (again, a lot of custom scripts and macros depend on these SWS actions that report toggle states, and this approach wouldn't break them). Then again, I would personally always use timebase Beats (position only) when dealing with sound design scenarios that include tempo markers - it's just easier to hold it all in your head because sound design usually gets wild and you don't want as much external preferences affecting it (change the tempo, lose the design)

Please, note the discrepancy between the shadows in the mute and solo buttons there too (I put a screenshot about this in the theme thread)

What is the expected CPU performance of V6 compared to 5.99?
Opened the same project in both and in 5.99 the CPU was just below 60%, while in v6 it was around 80% and I also got a lot of clicks.

Whoa! One goes MIA for a few weeks and all of a sudden we have v6! Cool!

I have to check it later today but the changelog looks nice!

I'm just a bit sad that area selection didn't make it for v6 either

On Windows10 many Reaper-Windows like the Media-Explorer or FX-Browser do not follow the windows scaling-setting of the screen immediately. Reaper has to be restarted to apply these settings.

I have different screens with different scaling settings and move the Reaper-Windows around these screens all the time.

It would be really cool if all Reaper-Windows would follow the current screens scaling-setting immediately!

This is something that worries me. Does v5 and V6 have the same exact configuration? Can you try V6 with v5 theme and compare?

v6 has "Live FX multiprocessing" enabled by default, this might be why.

NO... sorry Justin, should have checked this first - I normally do.

If I import all my mouse modifiers to a portable install it still doesn't do it, if I import my whole saved config then it does - I already tried closing all running scripts and it makes no difference, but I'm going to do a bit more testing tonight, importing different parts of my config, and see if I can narrow it down... no one else seems to be having this issue, so please feel free to ignore this one for now until I've got some more solid info on what's causing it! It is odd that it only happens from rc8 onwards though.

Wheb you read it, it sounds like a performance booster, but why would it use more cpu? And how does it help a project?

It means higher overall CPU use at the expense (usually) of lower RT CPU use. Why a user would see poorer playback performance is perplexing, though.

Thanks, that's a good thing then I never used it before and performance were already good so this will be something I'll watch more closely now

Hi Justin - I was wrong with my previous post - I CAN recreate this with a fresh portable install, by just reassigning two modifiers - I think I've figured out how to recreate the issue.

Steps to recreate from a portable install -

Unlink time selection and loop points.

In the 'Track' section of mouse modifiers, set ctrl+left drag to 'edit loop points'. and then set ctrl+left click to 'clear time selection'.

You should then be able to recreate this behaviour - if not then I'm stumped!

The configuration is the same, I will try running V6 with V5 theme later.

Tried disabling this, made no difference.

What's weird is that CPU value in the Performance meter is lower than FX value, previously it was always higher.

Tried with V5 theme and nothing changes.

Here are Performance meter views




What's strange, CPU is lower on V6, but FX use is higher.

What CPU is this? Also worth noting, the memory use of v5 is 4GB higher than v6?

This was a concern for me too - so I just tested this with the same (fairly busy) project, idling, the same config, and the same theme, on the latest 6.0rc10, and 5.99 -

5.99 -
https://stash.reaper.fm/37661/cpu%205.99.png


6.0rc10 -

https://stash.reaper.fm/37662/cpu%206.0.png

I'm on Win10, i9 9900k processor.

FX CPU is higher on 6, but total reported CPU is lower. I'm confused why the FX CPU use would be higher than the total CPU use, that seems odd.

I should also say I'm not seeing any noticeable real world performance difference, but I'm probably not stressing my system enough to know for sure, just thought I'd offer this up in case it's useful.

Unfortunately I didn't check the task manager to get an external reporting of CPU use when I checked this, as that might have shed some light.

Maybe this is the reason?
The RAM use is probably from the SSD5 sampler and some reverb plugins. If somehow the per plugin buffer settings are different, then maybe the stutters are caused by hard-drive delays.

OK I'm stupid.
I found I have accidentally installed 32-bit version of REAPER for a preview. Sorry o_0
64-bit version works great!
