BTW his "Pressure4" compressor is pretty awesome too, and "FathomFive" is cool. Save yourself some time and don't watch the videos, just download the plugins. Then after you've used the plugins, go watch the videos for a chuckle.
A great one! A very useful professional toy.
I'm sure you'll survive.

James, I have a quality Channel Strip for use in Reaper when occasionally needed. More plugins are the last thing I want. And what's with the smarm?
Yes - IF you are making a MIDEO.
Oh I wont be entering, I'm disqualified by the fact that I don't have any Reaper Plugs, I only DL'd to hear what song was being used.

Sorry, just having a bit of fun. Also pointing out to others that there's a solution if they want to use Reaper but "get a console sound" for free.
MIDEO, lol! MAUDIO (maybe that's where they got the name for their company?) VAUDI? Yeah, MIDEO works best. I'm going to remember that one.
I won't enter the contest either. I don't really have interest mixing anyone else's music unless it's something I really enjoy hearing over and over and over and over...come to think of it, that's what makes me hate my own music so much...

You trying to kill my thread ? Try this:
{sub OrO{OrOOr
(eval(chr(@_[0])))}}push @Or,++$_
for(0..(++$_*++$_)*++$_);{sub OrOOr{print@_[0]}}
OrO(Or(Or0()+1+Or0(),Or0()+1))&&OrO(Or(Or0()+Or0() ,
Or0()+Or0()/(Or0()-2)))&&OrO(Or(0,(Or0()*(Or0()-1)
-1)))&&OrO(Or(Or0()*2+1,(Or0()*2+1)/(Or0()-1)));sub
Or{$Or[@_[0]].$Or[@_[1]]}sub Or0{$_=
"\[\[\[\[";$_=((split//));}

Come on now, moan threads are 50% of the Internet and without them it would cease to exist.
The other 90% is porn and math tutorials.
That's one of the main purposes of the webz, to complain about random stuff and have someone actually read it, which doesn't happen so much otherwise.
I'm old enough to recall complaining about random stuff and being lucky if 5 people ever heard about it, now we can do that in our boxer shorts in Mom's basement with a bag of Cheetos on our lap and (in some cases) millions will. I'm not sure that's actually a good thing.

It's not always moaning, but some will always view it that way. It's the Internet with millions of people with millions of different opinions.
It's not supposed to always make sense, by design.
In other words, even in cases where (for the vast majority) nothing is really wrong anywhere, someone will always complain about something. That's how the Internet works.
I think Al Gore designed it that way.

You didn't say "we want better". What you seem to be saying is you don't want Reaper to be audio+video+midi, but you want Reaper instead to be "Reaper+Harrison MixBus". We can have both. Asking for more functionality is fine, even if lots of people won't use it (or choose to use plugins--some of which are free--to accomplish the same thing). I don't see why it's an either/or situation though. That's what I argue against. Yes the developers sometimes work on aspects of the program you personally don't care about. And other times they do. Someone on the other side of the fence from you will have the same argument as you worded the opposite way. Who's right?

I think ED may be suggesting that at some point Justin may want to just lay on the beach and chill and not work on it anymore and just open source it.
Not that I speak for ED, but that was my take on his comment, that Cockos isn't a corporation that will cycle through different people over 20 years, that when of if Justin or Schwa stop working on it (for any reason, old age, illness, boredom, whatever), short of just selling it if there is a buyer, open source is the only other option.
Otoh, things like Cubase just cycle. Many of the people there today probably weren't there 20 years ago. The business is much more separated from the employees.
Justin kinda is Reaper.

You do realise you have now kick-started the perennial "real bass players dont use picks vs oh yes they do!" debate again?
Bloody troll....

I dunno, jumping the audio shark would imply that we add an audio-related feature that is so stupid and pointless, and prevents us from continuing to develop REAPER.
Anyway -- we've done plenty of audio-related improvements in recent times, actually... so not sure how I can prove you wrong more than we have already?
Transient guides are the most recent thing to come to mind. But you mean "what have we done for audio in the last 15 days", I take it?

Is making it thinner-and-therefore-more-trendy worth this stupid backwards step?
The number of iphones that get plugged into my consoles for background music while the charger is plugged into the FOH dist -how are they going to sort this without lots of failure-prone adapters draped across my faders? Form over function once again. Time to get an Android.
Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over -they're done...
Sorry for OT rant

On apoint of order, as far as I am aware Justin really ISN`T a llama lover.
What kind of a lightweight Reaperite are you , that you didnt know that? Sheesh!
(cue eyeroll smiley here)
P.S. Any chance of this moving to the lounge fairly soon? It is obviously going that way when you can even draw Justin into the fray...

You know your users. This "jumped the audio shark" comment shouldn't even be given serious consideration. I'm relatively new to Reaper, but am thrilled with what you have created. It's an amazing tool. It absolutely smokes PT, but I'm sure you already know that.
You're headed in the right direction. As a retired Software Engineer I know you have to prioritize the needs of the majority over a vocal minority, and that there are some people who will never be completely happy. I suggest you not waste time on negativity.

Thanks for trying to diminish my comments. As a WORKING software engineer I know a good bit about coding too. As you are new to Reaper you do not have the history to know the reasons for my comments so I ask that you refrain from diminishing what are meant to be serious comments unless you can provide an alternate perspective that reflects the history of the app. We all know Reaper is the best. That is not the point.

Excellent stuff, coachZ.
I sort of have a little tiny bit of sympathy for your OP..... after years of the audio side lording it over everything else, it must be hard to be brought down to the same level the rest of us have been at for years...
On second thoughts, Nah! I don't - suck it up!
I'll get my coat. See you in the *lounge*

Life happens. It's clearly the case that you enjoy (and are obviously quite proud of) what you do with Reaper but nobody knows how you'll feel about that in 15 years. There may come a time where (for any number of valid reasons) you simply lose interest in it.
Or not. The opposite possibility is just as valid as the former.
And speaking to worst case scenarios (god forbid that should ever happen), if you go skydiving on the weekend and your chute doesn't open, is there someone who can really fully take over Reaper and keep the vision going?
All of that is only to say that the business model is more personal, and more potentially subject to a sudden halt than a revolving corporate model.
To your credit, if I had your cash I'd be too busy subsidizing strippers to be coding so much... so... props. If I landed in your spot I'd probably have a exceptionally bright guy I snatched from MIT or something coding while I spent my days blowing my cash before I die.

That's what I don't know. I know he knows the code base and he has exceptional talent, that's obvious, but John does not = Justin + John. (and vice versa)
Is Reaper Schwa's only job? Can he run the business solo with no... interruption? No idea.
If I were forced to bet on it I'd bet yes though. I think he's done enough to earn that pov or that much faith. Keep in mind, we're talking about something that Justin hasn't even really done, literally doing it all by himself.
All of that is just to say the models are different, that you could drop a bomb on AVID HQ and they'd be right back at it 3 months later with all new people. they'd just drop a bunch of cash and hire a new group of talented developers and keep going. Smaller more personal businesses are not really setup that way, so you see a few of them slowing down when the only developer gets ill or has a personal situation.
At any rate, all of that was speculation on your Open Source comment. Maybe just explain what you meant to remove the speculation about that, I certainly didn't intend to put words in your mouth there.

I have a micro brewery here that has 16 ounce beers for $5. Great range of beers from light to coffee/chocolatey dark. Life is great.
