Spotted a bug I believe - in the mouse modifiers settings I have ctrl-left click on a track set to 'clear time selection' but it's now clearing loop points instead.

Spotted a bug I believe - occasionally note off is happening at the same place in the recorded midi item. Rolled back to the rc7 with the same project and now everything's fine.

I thought it was the ability to have different heights for each docker type but no.

Default TCP green vertical line separator bug on resizing

https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.ph...&postcount=115
I can confirm what this post reported.

If you drag the tcp width using the green vertical separator line,
you will be able to see that there's like 1 or 2 pixels of that green line that doesn't move with the green line.

Question - wiring diagram looks awfully hard to use with big projects. I can't seem to zoom it nor use middle mouse to drag the view around. Is this like it is or I'm missing something?

Yes we all mentioned that a lot of times by now... You're not missing anything. Track wiring view is practically unusable with medium and large projects. Not to mention you cannot swap the flipped routing order (ins are on the right, outs are on the left, WTF).

Also here's a bug in track wiring view: when tracks are using auto-arm mode, and input is set to MIDI, GUI of tracks in the track wiring view is not updated properly:

Yep, here too. You'll have to grab the green divider bar and drag it either way, left or right. A little mark is left behind at the starting point. After that each drag/release/drag cycle will leave a new mark, as long as you let the divider bar disappear during the release. IOW move the mouse cursor away from the divider, then back over it again.

Reaper does parent tracks on the left of child tracks; see the mixer, but also routing and grouping that are alternates of this very window. If it is only going to go one way, which seems fair at this stage of development, to be consistent is seems logical go right>left as sequential track flow. Vsigfile or Reaktor go left>right, Max goes top>bottom, and they don't use sequential track numbers as a core ordering strategy. I did once use a mixing console where it went right>left on the left of the master, groups left>right on the right. World's a weird place.

Yeah but in MCP we have an option to show Master on the right, so... it'd make sense to have the same option in track wiring.

Nobody is going to use this if it stays like this, I'm pretty sure.

The routing and grouping matrices are both left-to-top. Not sure what windows you're looking at.

Consistent with what? Reaper has at least four different signal flow layouts at work in various places, at least one of which (Master placement in the mixer) is toggleable.

It would seem reasonable to me for the wiring view's layout to offer a toggle as well, though I would still argue for left-to-right as a default.

Confirmed.

1) Routing wires to Record Inputs box are missing from the rec-armed tracks which have MIDI input.



2) Set a track with MIDI input to automatic rec-arm mode. Select another track. Make changes to the recording settings of any track (in right click rec-arm menu). When the track with auto re-arm is selected again, the MIDI input box doesn't come up. Fader and Master boxes do move down as if to make room for it, but the whole track container box doesn't resize either.

Create two tracks. Make one the parent of the other. Which way does it go? Right to left. There you go, a precedent. You don't need to agree with or even understand this, you just need to recognise that its not so cut and dried 'wrong' that's worth interrupting a pre thread with.

The TCP is bottom to top.
The FX I/O pins are left (to top) to right.
If the user has their Master on the right, top-level tracks are left to right.

Again; there is no consistency for new decisions to be consistent with.

Very good point.


All we're asking for is an option. If Master can go to the right of MCP, we should also be able to invert how track wiring diagram flows.

I understand there are a lot of requests on the wiring diagram. I would encourage a dedicated thread to discuss that (there probably is one already?) and we'll move it to the FR forum after 6.0 is released...

Yeah there's like 3 threads in the prerelease section alone just for the wiring diagram... Obviously people like the idea but are left scratching their heads due to how it's implemented and shattered expectations

Right to left for signal flow is never logical.

And developers, please see this post. It does a really good job summing up what is needed to make this the feature it should be.

Leave the half size of the buttons in the Toolbars. In "pre" and "rc" this is preserved, in the full versions it is missing

One hundred percent, completely and utterly in agreement here. One of the few serious gripes I have with REAPER is the bottom to top (in TCP) and right to left (MCP) signal flow in folders. It is for that primary reason that I don't use folders unless I really need to. I would use them FAR more often if the signal flow followed the rest of the world (in at least 90 percent of cases anyway).

That's the problem when folder track mode is also a hierarchical element, instead of just a bus... Hierarchically, it makes sense to have the folder on top in TCP/left in MCP. But for busses, yeah... you'd want to have an option to group folder tracks to the RIGHT (in case you're using master on the right), not just grouping them to the left...

I'm sure, at least for MCP, providing additional options to group folders to the right, and group tracks that have receives to the right, are a cinch to implement for our fearless devs.

Can you please make Reaper's pop-up windows be on top of pinned windows please ?
It is so annoying and unexpected to have a Reaper important pop-up hidding under something and wonder what's going on until you discover there was a modal window.
I don't think this deserves a bug request or a feature request so that's why its here. Sorry if I'm in the wrong place.

Devs, what has happened here - on v5 when empty png was used for the separator this didn't happened:


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?

Default Halion 6 (VST3) do not accepting w, a, d and x keys (in his preset browser)

Hello.

Halion 6 (VST3) do not accepting w, a, d and x keys in his preset browser but is working well in another daw or in older versions of reaper.
In the VST2 version everything is ok.
All 6 rc versions i try have this problem.

Hm, those keys work here in Halion 6 VST3 preset browser...


However, VST3 doesn't load its GUI properly on instantiation (in Halion's terms, "screenset"), but VST2 does so just fine.

Undocking the preset browser all is working correctly.
Halion 6 is controling the Program window with w, a, d and x keys(up and right side window) when the preset browser is docked.

great!


There's a minor Retina -glitch here on mac, when using the RC-8, Default theme 5+6 @100%
Perhaps related to this:
Quote:
# Docker tabs/project tabs obey UI scaling
In docked tabs, on mouse-over, toolbar-icons and text buttons have a random 'frame-trail'.
It does not occur when 'allow retina drawing' is unchecked.

If retina is checked, it does not occur:
– inside floating or un-tab’ed dockers.
– when using official v5.99




Armed overlay,
Since the green overlay is indicating an active state, then what’s the purpose of the ‘armed’ overlay?

It being a convention doesn’t make it less valid.

As long as everything in Reaper is in english, and you write your track names in a left to right fashion, i think it's pretty logical.

That being said, my master channel is on the right, and i never had problems with folders being on the left side somehow.

Default Some VST seem to work not proper

* Windows Home version 1909
* REAPER v.60rc8


e.g. Lounge Lizard EP-4 v4.30 Trial can be downloaded here: https://www.applied-acoustics.com/lounge-lizard-ep-4/


e.g. Soundtoys VST e.g. EchoBoy: Trial can be downloaded here: https://www.soundtoys.com/product/echoboy/

WHAT I DID STEP BY STEP

1. Deinstall old REAPER

2. DELETED FOLDER: c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\

3. INSTALLED REAPER

4. Open REAPER and ADD Virtual VST: Lounge Lizard EP-4 v4.30

5. Play something on Virtual Keyboard: seems OK

6. REMOVE VST and re-add Lounge Lizard EP-4 v4.30: Seems OK

7. CLOSE Reaper and re-open and try again: only noise

8. DELETED FOLDER: c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\

RETRY Lounge Lizard EP-4 v4.30: Only noise


*** BACK TO START

1. Procedure: Deinstall old REAPER

2. DELETED FOLDER: c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\

3. INSTALLED REAPER v.5.99

4. Open REAPER and ADD Virtual VST: Lounge Lizard EP-4 v4.30

5. Play something on Virtual Keyboard: seems OK



Soundtoys VST e.g. EchoBoy



After new installation the first time all ok but when I reopen REAPER it goes immidiatly to auto-mute

I tested it also in TRACKSTATION 7 which does not have such problems

Thanks

armed actions make every left click in the arrange view run that action. For scissor tools, zoom tools etc.

Yep. It is the norm in hardware audio and electronics too.
The only time you don't exclusively see everything left to right in mixing consoles is with some large format ones that have the master section in the middle. Even then though, the channels still increment numerically left to right.
