Cool! I only changed themes due to the metering; I'm OK with the rest of the default theme. Right after v.6 was released, I emailed them about the metering color, but never heard back; nor has it changed. Ick. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Why is this red? Red is bad! I like the look of that flat theme you shared. Actually, it's pretty close to what I built out of default with the Theme Assembly. However, what I really like is those track dividers. Do those need folders or can you divide any tracks? Hi, gravesnumber9: Sorry; I have no idea. I use Reaper like a tape recorder; tracking only. Mixing is done elsewhere; sorry I can't answer that for you. If you find it on the Reaper themes page, there might some additional info there? -09 |

It’s basically what I built in Assembler but better. Using it. |

Rumor has it that Serban Ghenea actually mixes in Reaper with a pro-tools theme, that’s the secret as to why his mixes are so good!  |

One big reason I am not mixing in Reaper is the zoom functionality. It is too squirrely.
The other is the insistent wrapper for plugins.

I don't remember if you have to change a setting to do this, but I have Reaper setup where plugins always "float" in their own windows, just like in PT or any other DAW.
I agree about the FX wrapper window. Goofy and super annoying. The only time I ever open it is if I click the FX button on a track.
Otherwise, all of my plugins are shown in the mixer slots, and I can open them individually.

No dog in the race, i’m with Ragan, tried Reaper once, found it cumbersome, like any new to me daw, but I was inexperienced. I already was getting stuff done in Pt and had recently switched to Logic and was also getting stuff done, didn’t see the point of learning Reaper and/or Studioone, which I also tried. I think personal preference is a big factor, peeps I have some sense of, who like Reaper, seem to really like, what I’d call its flexibility: its seems easy to configure or reconfigure, based on their knowledge of signal flow, which makes sense to me. Maybe, that’s its big strength, instead of learning the quirks or limitations of your daw, you tailor reaper to your preferences, create and save templates, etc.,, hmm, maybe time to retry Reaper ?  |

I would say so. Does what I tell it to do. |

Also don't remember how I changed this but I also hated it and mine now operates like a normal DAW in this respect. There's like one setting somewhere you click. Honestly, Reaper would go a long way by just changing its default settings. I shouldn't have to watch a 30 minutes instructional video made by a Reaper fan to get settings that make sense. |

I like the fx Window because i can adjust inserts faster on the main track view screen without clutter. It’s one click and mouse movement to close the old insert gui and view the new one instead two clicks and two mouse movements. I can float anything I want the gui open at the same time by a double click. It works better once you get used to it because daws operate with way more inserts than mixers or consoles.

Basically Reaper can be whatever you want it to be. You can show everyhting, hide everything. You can create functions that do dozens of functions underneath. You can think of Reaper as an assistant. It does all the boring stuff for me. I'm lazy like that. So lazy that I put immense effort into making my life easier. That's how I can use my hardware rig without going crazy.
You can make it look just the way you want. It can mimic your old Daw, or you can even enhance your old daw, by changing aspects of it you disliked.
It is the best daw out there to me. It can do them all ! And it's liberating, because at some point, you stop copying stuff you learned from the previous daw, and you create your own path with Reaper. That's where it becomes interesting.
i just love this daw to death sorry. It's a marvelous tool. Deep, endlessly customizable. Fucking great. It's at the heart of everything I do. Now I can't do without it. In one word :
INDISPENSABLE !!!

Gave it another 30 minutes. Downloaded the latest build. Honestly, it's the most confusing interface I've worked with. I'd have to watch hours of videos just to learn basic functions. As much as I "want" to like it, I just don't. I will still give it more time like I do each year, but so far, it's still a no-go. I think the problem is that I am so used to how Nuendo functions, that Reaper just doesn't make sense. I've got 20 years of experience with Nuendo. It looks great and all the functions are easy to find. I try to get Reaper to sort of mimic the way I work but even the most basic things are hidden in such a way that I can't find them. I started writing up a list but then deleted it. Reaper just isn't for me. The learning curve seems pretty high to do even the easiest things. I'm sure it is much more streamlined than an old DAW like Nuendo/Cubase. Maybe I will watch another training video, but right now I have to get some mixes done. Yep, just like every year, I get frustrated with it and give up.
I also do IT work to pay bills. Reaper is the Linux of DAWs. Lots of power if you're willing to relearn everything you know.

I literally worked in cubase the other night at a different studio and it took me all of about 10 minutes to get editing and mixing with it. I haven't used it in 5 years or so. I'm a reaper user since their beginning. I have never found it confusing, nor have I found PT or cubase that confusing either. How about trying theme 1.0? It's a bit less cluttered with "cool". I can also send you a template with how I use it and see if it's easier to understand.. |

Killer DAW if you can put the time in.
Terrible / horrible for playlists. (yes there are some lame work arounds )
Useless for plug in automation grouping of tracks.
Apart from the above, it smokes everything else by a long shot.

Whoa... delta solo native on plugins?
Meaning that Reaper can give me the delta on any plugin, even third party. That is awesome. I love that feature on plugins that have it, now I have it for everything. Genuinely asking, do other DAW's do this and I just never knew?

Video editing in Reaper as well. This thing just keeps getting better. And it works exactly the same as audio as you can see from this tutorial. Very cool.
Not robust enough to make a complicated project, but for whipping together a podcast, a live show recording, or a lyric video? More than enough.

I haven't used it often for video but I did use reaper to successfully fix a sync issue on a video where the sound was out of sync from the beginning and on top of that the video was running at a different speed than the audio and the audio needed to be precision stretched rather than just nudged. I hadn't read about the new Delta feature but that's incredible. |

What's everyones thoughts on Reaper 7? new takes system is cool but the reaclassical extension is even better. I haven’t tried that with 7 yet but it is tested with 6.83 Realimit is better than l1, l2, and a bunch of popular distorted commercial limiters. 7.00 crashed voxengo span, 7.01 doesn't. New gui is unfinished. Stick the reaper 6 theme for now. |
