![]() no preset control in the track headers,.no Generic remote definitions : how to control Reaper with endless knobs, beside, yes, a convoluted script involving OSCII-bot, which should be launched before Reaper ?.They are all piling up in the list of actions, while being often unintuitively labelled. And it’s getting worse as the time flows : presently, no less than 3000 actions from different sources without true QC process. the absolute mess with all the actions and scripts : SWS/Reapack/independent developers, etc.Here are the main issues I had with it, trying to work with it as efficiently as Cubase : And this is coming from an user of Reaper from its 4.76 to 5.99 versions. It is essential to build a professional community, it is like being certified to pilot a certain type of plane that is universal across multiple countries.ĭon’t like the UI too much, much prefer the new Cubase UI apart from updating some of the relic windows which I’m sure is on the way.Īs several others, NO, sorry. It’s sort of like the complete opposite of protools in a bad way - where protools is like a universal standard that is the same for every person, thus any person can go to any protools studio and experience the same workflow, GUI, etc etc - that is an asset, and Cubase needs to be that. I want to do that manually only, so I understand what the original file was like before anything changed.įor me, this is what I dislike about Reaper, it is sort of scattered and inconsistent and trying to incorporate what everyone wants instead of establishing set parameters for people to work within and develop a workflow and style. I - never - want my program to be doing that kind of stuff automatically… anything that changes the sound or length, or anything. Just use the key command ‘Find Selected in Pool’ which for me I can one-hand initiate with ctrl+alt+f. You can activate Musical Mode for events in the lower zone editor, and or, in the pool if needing to do multiple files. When dragging in from MediaBay, if the ‘Align to Beats’ preview playback is enabled, it will be aligned when you drag it into the project. The current utilities are just fine, quick, and there’s a couple different paths you can take. Yikes no thanks, sometimes I am just dragging stuff in to edit unrelated to any tempo - actually a lot… and I would - not - want auto tempo alignment. I’m so massively invested in Steinberg, I’m not porting to anywhere, but consider the views above. I hope we can wake up before we are disrupted. It’s scaling already with it’s nimble and adaptive design, with a light footprint on resource consumption and that’s staggering to say the least. But 5 years from now, REAPER poses significant challenge. It’s nimble, agile, adaptive, light-weight, loads with lightening speed, hardly ever grinds your CPU to a halt, almost never crashes, rugged, with good routing functions, a good mix-console (I love Cubase/Nuendo better).Ĭubase/Nuendo is my native DAW…granted. There’s a reason REAPER fans are fanatical and fundamentalist about it. It appears REAPER has a lot of Artificial Intelligence underlying it’s design, and behind its seemingly simplistic, befuddled interface, there’s an intelligent design focused on freeing the user to focus on creativity. Or we can click and create any new tracks, and then change them to audio or midi using an accompanying side-view dialog box? hello Steinberg. Why not give us a click and create tracks functionality, (PT has this too) rather than having to open a dialog box, or right click each time you want to create a new track? At least make the MIDI track the default click and create track. Why do we need to fiddle about with the settings in media-bay, pool window, audio menu (stretch to project tempo)or time-stretch tool ? Why not integrate these into the engine and allow us to focus on making beats? Loops align seamlessly with your timeline, grid, and tempo. ![]() No need to fret about tempo changes or whatever. ![]() While importing loops into REAPER you don’t need to do anything. I came back to REAPER in 2019 using it alongside my main DAW, Cubase and my side-kick (Pro Tools). I later ditched it for Cubase, much to his chagrin. I was introduced to Reaper in 2014 by a friend in Leicestershire, and I loathed its interface. Reaper, a DAW many of us Cubase and Nuendo fans love to hate. My comments below relate to some rugged and integral features that REAPER users take for granted, but we, Steinberg users have to fuss about to get. ![]() I use three DAWS (Nuendo, Pro Tools and Reaper). I am not an engineer in the sense that I can understand all complex nuances of DAW design, integration and underlying features. ![]()
