Hi folks

The right-click add fx dropdown is now overpopulated for me. Is it possible to exclude things there (I only really need the fxchains entry)?


TIA

The menu mirrors what is displayed in the Add FX dialog left pane, which is controlled by the options menu in that dialog.

I think this would be best as well. I would also recommend each lane be discrete and have the ability to show/hide. In other words meter lane not tied to tempo lane, etc. with the ability (right-click, checkbox, etc.) to show and hide each individual lane. That way, users can customize that area to their own specific needs.

And one last request would be, could we also have a lane for timecode so we can finally see a timecode overview when working in bars/beats? That would be a huge check on my Reaper bucket list.

Default Freezing in pre6 and pre7

I've been experiencing some sporadic freezing in Reaper. Sometimes it comes back after a couple of minutes and sometimes it does not.

I've included a forced crash dump file while reaper was stuck and never came back.

LINK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zbbv3se76u...84%29.zip?dl=0
Procedure steps before crash:

1: Opened a blank session at startup.
2: Closed the blank session and loaded my large writing template.
3: Loaded one Zebra HZ instrument.
4. Reaper was not responding to my keyboard so I decided to check the midi driver in reaper's preferences.
5. I hit the command to open Reapers preference window and it froze before opening the window.

Versions:

Reaper Pre Release 5.65 pre6
Windows 10 1703 build
Zebra HZ lastest version

I had the same issues yesterday with Korg M1 and Discovery Pro. Thought that it was not Reaper related, cause some other stuff was happening at the computer at the same time, but the very moment I loaded the plugin, Reaper freezed for about 10-20 seconds and after the plugin finished loading, everything went smooth. I just remembered because you, guys, mentioned it.

I just noticed bug in quick add menu. Many plugins are not showing in quick add, although they show in FX dialog. I noticed this in my custom folders from before. Not sure from which version it is so, but I can see it in pre7.

Examples (same folder, on left many plugins are missing that are included on the right):

Hmm, I can't seem to replicate this.

Default Freezing in pre6 and pre7

The freezing and crashing issues, I'm seeing don't seem to only be related to Zebra HZ. I'm seeing freezing while loading sessions with Altiverb, Omnisphere and a few other plugins it seems to get stuck on.

These plugins are all up to date.

I'm also getting some freezing when I try to render audio.

I'm also getting some freezing after Reaper has finished rendering and is supposed to add the tracks to my session.

I've checked the RAM and I'm well under the 128GB limit.

Any ideas?

Schwa, do you need any more data from me? I already sent ini files to support email the other day (in regard to slow response of quick add menu), if it helps in any way.

I would actually still prefer an option to hide all tempo markers that are not timesig changes.

I think that, when a song has hundreds and hundreds of tempo changes, each little tempo change isn't so important or distinctive as to deserve a marker, and the Ruler's tempo lane becomes a unattractive mass of overlapping little squares. Tempo undulations can better be visualized in the Master track's tempo envelope, and it is also easier to edit the tempos directly in the envelope. The tempo markers in the Ruler are therefore of little use (to me, at least).

I find the new behaviour very awkward:

The bottom of the Ruler is where the loop selection is displayed, so users would expect to draw the loop selection when the mouse is over that area. Now, in order to draw the loop selection, the mouse has to be *above* the loop display.

It is also inconsistent with the rest of the interface: Left-dragging between tracks in the arrange view sets the time selection -- not track height. Track height is set by left-dragging in the TCP.

...which is why I think that every ruler lane should be separately draggable by ITS bottom!

I agree with White Tie, agreeing with you. I wish Reaper would seriously consider improving font aliasing and rendering throughout the program. I know devs likely just use Macbooks or whatever but a large amount of Reaper users obviously use Windows.

I don't think the right people know just how truly near unusable certain "default" font handling is in Reaper on a daily basis in Windows 10.

Yes I know Windows is to blame for some, but plenty of software handle this way, way better. Just a fact

But as White Tie said, let's not derail this into a FR thread. That is not fair. But just wanted to show empathy to you friend.

Just to put this to bed (hopefully) (probably not though) (you probably know all about not being able to put things to bed by now),

we tried this locally and it didn't work well, because it becomes difficult to target the resizing area versus markers, regions, etc. The next build will add an option to resize the ruler by dragging the bottom. If disabled, the ruler can still be resized by dragging the divider between the toolbar and TCP.

Ahaha!

Actually, the little one should be coming home today - mom and him were observed at the hospital for a few days, as it's the norm to do here (and anywhere else, I suspect?).


OK then, too bad we can't resize them individually. But perhaps it could be awesome to have actions to set each ruler lane to a specific number of rows, then?

In the US insurance typically pays for 24 hours (if no complications) and after that they kick you out.

Clearly some regional/cultural differences in this chart!

Interesting.

Over here, it's minimum 3 days.



Soooo... those actions, then?

congrats EvilDragon!

As for the ruler..

It's been annoying me on the wacom device as it's so easy when seeking on it to accidentally resize.

Glad there's an option coming!

Some developers base their plugins on some well-known hardware, but don't have any rights for it's trademark, so they name their products differently.
And some of those plugins are even able to emulate different types of hardware.
I would love to have an option to tag FX plugins in browser, so that entries won't look like:

"CompressorBank CB303 - Teletronix LA-2A/3A, Urei 1176LN, Fairchild 660/670, DBX 160/165 (McDSP)"

or

"Presswerk - Teletronix LA-2A/3A, Urei 1176LN, Fairchild 660/670 (u-he)"

but will look compact and it would still be possible to quickly search for those plugins by their tags.
