Reaper 6 meant I had to pay again. I had no problem paying, the company gives me my money's worth. I got 7 years worth of use for my last payment. I will probably get that much again. That's a fair price.
@@NicStride One license is only good for two major revisions. So he probably bought a license when Reaper was at version 4.x. The license was also available for versions 5.0 - 5.999.
It's such a breath of fresh air to watch a tutorial about something that is quite complicated. But is put in such an easy way that you can't fail to understand what is being said. Also it's great to hear someone who is passionate about the THING he is talking about and NOT the sound of his own voice. great stuff. Thanks
Beginner here looking for my first DAW, but also something I can work with for many years to come. The cost brought me to Reaper, but videos like yours are making me realize that it's not a step down from the other professional DAWs, but one with some pretty unique and amazing features. Thanks for doing this video.
If you want specific PT behavior in reaper you can look at www.protoolstoreaper.com There are scripts (some paid and some free ones) for reaper that might be helpful.
Yes customising Reaper is great. I'm commin from Cubase (since Atari Cubase v2.0 then on PC). I was so used to the Cubase inspector and was so happy to see that this Layout is possible in Reaper too. Here is how it can be done ruclips.net/video/iVBZrHktClQ/видео.html
I moved to reaper one weak ago from pro tools after watching your video being tiered of the chrashes and limitations: I am completley blown away!! It contains exactly all the features I've always dreamed of exactly where they should be, it is so intuitive and quick to use. Not even mentioning the performance on a PC.. much faster reliable..and even their stock plugins are great, their cpu usage extreamley low. Even if it costed the same money as it's competitors I would go for it.
Nice review. I use Reaper for mastering. I love its workflow. It's like Cockos thought of everything I could want in a DAW and more. It's ridiculously cheap whether you are an amateur or professional music maker. Just an amazing performance to value ratio.
Just for the record, for professionals who make above $20k out of their audio/music business, it's not the same price though, it's $225 per user. It's still a steal considering you've got many years of upgrade included and how much productivity you gain out of it when you customize it.
I am curious if you use the stock plugins for mixing and mastering or do you have a favorite plugin you have purchased? It might sound bad but I have recordings I was going to throw away until I ran them through an AI mastering tool. As a beginner I think every little bit helps. Lol but I got a free master from 1 of them and it peaked in volume bad!!!
@@TROUBLEDSUM I use iZotope and waves plugins for mastering. I seldom use Reaper native plugs, but that is only because I'm already invested in iZotope and Waves.
@@MixingGBP ya I had the trial version of it and I had fun with it that week lol. Izotope is something that has been weighing in on me but I didnt get to use all the features in trial mode so I'm only partially sold besides the reviews
@@TROUBLEDSUM Stock plugins are fine if you aren't trying to add too much distortion. Also the stock reverbs aren't so great. The good news is there are great free plugins for these tasks. Variety of Sound plugins are awesome for warmth and distortion, and for reverbs, I recommend Orilriver and Stone Voices Ambient (the free version can be found on VST4free website).
i love reaper. im a complete novice at this daw stuff, but i wanted a way of connecting my guitar to the PC, playing to backing tracks. Ive tried other daws in the past and i didnt even know how to begin to use them, so complicated. Reaper is easy to use the basics for a beginner, intuitive.. Of course its still complitcated when you start to dig deep, but not so much just to get going. Brilliant it is
With the MIDI CC envelopes, you can use ALT + left drag to change the curve as well. Just like with track automation envelopes. Great to see pros using Reaper anyway!
Thanks for another great video. Your videos are always informative and logical without the hype methodology used by so many other channels. You also explain things so that those of us that aren't up to speed on studio lingo understand what you're talking about. Thanks again. I look forward to watching your future posts.
The MIDI thing is really useful, particularly for those of us who don't have (and are not willing to afford) a 17 octave MIDI controller with four and a half fancy modwheels. The embedded EQ thing is cool too.
I am a long time Ableton user and looked at Reaper several times, but things were missing for me. With v6 and embedded fx I just use Reaper now and dont look back. Stability and performance are superb in contrast to Ableton. No crashes with VSTs anymore! I am not a professional musician, but even in a nonprofessional environment a software crash is a fuckup after the perfect recording take...
I switched from Cakewalk (sonar as it was called before). Reaper adds so much more to the table and even though Cakewalk is putting out updates and fixing bugs much faster than before but Reaper is such a stable daw. Didn't have any crash or wierd bug yet even though I've tried many addons as well. I feel bad for not learning it back when I tried it for the first time because the UI threw me off compared to other daws.
UI also threw me off as well when I first tried it but with the new themes and also the ones you can download I'm diving back into it now... good luck bro!
Hello, I came across your channel as I was looking for my first DAW and "tripped" about Reaper. a great series on youtube, thanks. do you use reaper with standard theme or do you use another one? What would be your advice to an absolute beginner? thx Greetings from Germany
I downloaded evaluation tried to play with it and deleted it after one day. Totally unintuitive UI similar to Windows app and endless customisations like on Emacs is discouraging because first impression is always the most important
I've used Reaper extensively for 5-6 years. I recently went back onto Cubase Pro (10.5 at the moment) and the difference is as night and day. I don't raise Cubase above Reaper (how could anyone?) but it does seem to me that Cubase Pro gets the cigar on many features; timestretch, autotune, plugin efficiency... Reaper: Excellent. No doubt about it. But I still find Cubase Pro easier and - I think - more flexible. Just my taste.
Great video. Thanks very much. And how are you getting such AMAZING sound? I found myself really enjoying hearing the sound of your voice. This is probably the best engineered vocal I have heard on a non-music video, and I would like to steal the technique, so how did you do it?
Thanks! The mic is a sennheiser mkh416, through a Slate VMS One preamp and just a little eq and compression from the Slate mix rack. A good mic makes a ton of difference
Hi, I wonder do you have a tutorial showing how to trim the length of live recorded Midi Items so that they keep perfect time if looped ? I'm still having trouble with this, Thank you.
wondering when they'll make it a thing where we can use a midi controller to change VST presets without having to use midi automation (ex. using a midi commander to change presets in Bias FX 2 in Reaper). Currently, you can only set up specific effects on a signal change to be mapped to the midi commander (e.g. delay, reverb, etc...), but cannot do patch changes (ex. the entire preset in Bias FX 2, e.g. a clean tone with a completely different signal chain vs a metal tone with different head, cab, stomp boxes, etc...). I have yet to see a DAW anywhere do this, and it's really frustrating when you are trying to route from a DAW into OBS and record the steaming performance while being able to switch presets by manually clicking the mouse in the DAW.
Can you do a tutorial on Reaper creating the popular video effect called. "Double Exposure (as seen in Filmora and Adobe Premier)? I want to make all my one man band vids like this, instead of using grids.
can someone help me? i am using reaper 6.0 I can't fade in or fade out the volume on a midi track, the volume stays the same, even if i put a volume envelope in, volume still stays the same. is there something i have to set first so it will work, fader works in any audio track, but won't work in the midi track. appreciate any help
Does any one know if reaper has the ability to customize the tempo map to a reference live played take without metronome. So I can play a song without a metronom and customize easily the tempo map the be adjusted to the slight tempo changes without touching the audio

Reaper got the project in project which is essentially the same thing. Also S1 is limited in such things like the way it trears midi u can't route it and it doesn't recognize all 16 channels so u can't use MPE with it
Hey all.. has anyone been able to make out what the voice says in the background the moment after you stop playback? Its very faint, very subtle, but its there.
New to this reaper thing, been using the trial version past its trial period and planning to pay the 60 dollar price so do i expect a better recording or processing from the paid one?
This seems to me to be not a beginners tutorial, either that or I'm slow at assimilating this info. Is there a good tutorial for beginners with Reaper 6.0. The Reapers I downloaded today is 6.11 on 5-24-20. Does anyone know a more beginners version. I was at Hop Pole tutorial for version 5 and he notes here 6 is a lot different. Any leads would be appreciated.
Hey! Not sure, I’ll try it later today. I’m on a plane all day but I’ll let you know. I think it would make sense since it’s all the same engine design
So I don’t have that panel with the record button, the play/pause button. Is just the tracks without that part with the record button. Can someone help?
Does anyone have this issue - In version 6.01 my Waves plugins are not available, but they are in version 5.99. I have the VST paths configured the same in both versions. I have read to delete and add Wave Central and such, but that seems like a BS resolution. Any other ideas would be appreciated.
@@adamsteelproducer Thanks for the response. v11, PC 64. I downloaded a free plugin....it shows up in 6.01, but not 5.99. I asked the same on the Reaper forum, but no replies, yet.
I am in the stage of thinking about switching to Reaper from Logic X. I can’t afford the new Mac to just using it for Logic x. One thing that I really like of Apple is the UI design, I watched Reaper themes and I didn’t like. I would have to think of a new PC Win just for audio, or a Hackintosh... I don’t know.., Very difficult for me to decide. Any suggestions?
I can't turn off auto render in repear 6. Can u help me plz. When i switch to another application and switch back to repear, auto render is star. Help plz. Tks u so much!
My reaper keeps crashing randomly. At first it look like it was a plugin misbehaving but then it happened with another plugin...and another one...and another one. Got to the point of just using stock plugins then it stared crashing at rendering. So frustrating. Deleted everything on library folder on my Mac ...everything . Fresh clean install it but still keeps crashing on me. Went back to Ableton live 10 which at this point havent crashed on me even tho im using the same plugins that Reaper crash report says was the issue. You ever heard the say; "If its not broken dont fix it" Well apparently Reaper developers havent yet.
@@adamsteelproducer Something like what...? Already checked all videos and forums related to this new version and they all say the same thing. "It should work the same way version 5". Already waste touch time dealing with that and I have a project with finish line coming up. Can''t keep wasting time dealing with this issue. So disappointed. And im not the only one ....theres was some other guy having the same issue yesterday.
@@Firas_Patov No. Ive been using firewire for the last 6 months. Before that was USB audio interface. But that doesnt matter cuz even with the USB interface it still crashed. The issue is with version 6 because I just found out how to download the last update for version 5 and right now is working fine ..havent crashed at all. So , its v6 the issue.
So you used Reaper 5 before without a problem? If so I don't understand why the issue you seem to have is such a big deal and you switch to Ableton? IMO you should always finish a project with the software (and version) it started with. That goes for every software and every brand. Then when the project is finished get some help from the great support of Cockos and their customers.
No but AMA means everything is automatically setup within items without having to play anything or analyzing first. Saves a ton of time. No idea if Studio One has this but I know it's a fairly new thing for REAPER.
I downloaded I ready But I have waves 9.97 And when I try to install the reaper asked for the folder waves 9.97 I found but anyway didn’t let me I’m so frustrated Because I want reaper Can you help me please
Get waves v10 or v11. Sorry but Waves don’t support that version anymore so there’s no incentive for developers to support it either. And it sucks, but Waves have a terrible model in their support and it’s on them to fix it (which I doubt they will)
Studio One has had parameter/graphic "miniview" integration in the console for all of its plugins for YEARS, and I can think of exactly ONE manufacturer that made their plugins compatible with it. It is not in their best interest, because it's a) not a universal experience, b) often not as convenient as one might think, c) work that will ultimately only benefit one subset of users, ignoring the massive amount of Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live, and Cubase users that have never had such a feature. They won't do it.
@@adamsteelproducer THEY DONT PUT THEY ALL/SOUL INTO IT WHAT I MEAN. the imagery,functionality, they just throw in as a option you have to go through 99 steps to get one thing done. even dow other dawa take reaper ideas an make it better but reaper the first to think of it. Reaper needs more money behind it OR they might have the money and just not care! The reason it being so small in size no good GUI or other built in things like vst instruments and such so they can sell it cheap. Which is cool to each its own.
Ok so the gui isn’t pretty to you. But you can add a theme to make it look any way you like. And you don’t need to go through 99 steps for anything, it’s the fastest DAW I know, which is why I use it. Sounds to me like you may be salty since you’re not comfortable with how it works, therefore it must be bad and it can’t possibly be you so it must be Reaper…
@@adamsteelproducer i actually like the regular gui in reaper but once you go insided plugin menu and every other window..look like a manuscript 🤣🤣🤣 a paper full of lines
@@adamsteelproducer yea its the fastest once you worked on it for a few days trying to create everything yaself...its pros and cons to it...TIME IS MONEY WITH ME. Im a all arounder. but again cant complain about the daw for the price
You can always change back to the 5.0 theme in the theme menu, although I will say the flat look makes sense after a while as it’s easier to find what you’re looking for at a glance
Reaper is useless if you use MIDI with hardware instruments. Stuck note all over the place, especially with older synths. Other DAWs I tested do not have this issue at all. I'm finished with Cockos. This issue goes back many years. They keep adding new features and never address this stuck notes problem when there are numerous threads about it on their forum.
Stuck notes in midi is not reaper specific, and is likely a problem with the midi computer interface you’re using. If you move away specifically because of this, I wish you luck but I don’t think you’ll see an improvement
@@adamsteelproducer It's not my interface. I have two interfaces and I have tested with Reaper on OSX and Linux. It's the same and no other DAW does this. Even on an old synth like the DX7 which exhibits the problem severely but only with Reaper. Sadly, Cockos has not addressed this known problem while constantly adding new features so I'm moving to another DAW.
I've been waiting forever for them to change those hideous MIDI CC bars. Ewwwwww. All they need now is to theme their plugins to not look like Windows 95.
Their inbuilt plugins aren’t pretty, but because of a complete lack of gui they work with themes, and are very cpu light and platform cross-compatible. My mix doesn’t get any better because my plugins look pretty either
There are tons of themes you can choose from (some of them are PT, Cubase etc lookalike) and even create your own if you want to. I recommend visiting the Ressource Website stash.reaper.fm/tag/Themes You can find something like this stash.reaper.fm/13815/Captura2.PNG stash.reaper.fm/13816/Captura3.PNG stash.reaper.fm/14109/dark%20side.jpg stash.reaper.fm/33996/I%20Logic%20Free%20%2B%20Viewlix.png One of the benefits of Reaper is to be enormos flexible. You can easily create toolbars, buttons with any function, reorder menus etc just how you want it.
@Nathaniel Walker I guess there's DAW for everyone out there. But if you can pinpoint specifically what is it that you think can greatly improve the UI/UX on the users' forum, perhaps someone can come up with a solution, or the developers might consider it and implement it for a future release. Frankly, I'd be curious to understand what exactly you want to see improved on the UI that the current theming cannot help solve.
Cockos forums which is reapers only source of help is a peer based help system.They banned me for trolling because I complained about Reaper crashing on me all the time.I never recieved one ounce of help from reaper.This channel has been good,but Reaper has no customer service what so ever.Save the 60 bucks and the headaches.Stating flaws in a DAW is not trolling Just a heads up to anyone thinking of getting this daw.
Instrument / FX windows and browser still living in the year 1998, no new development modern framework used, no new instruments or FX. This reskin doesn't cut it.... because of the for-mentioned crippling reasons, besides the poor design of it. You get more in a point update / .5 update of Studio One than you get in Reaper in 5 whole years., and you can upgrade for the cost of what it costs to buy Reaper at 50 odd quid..during black friday from any matching version, i.e Artist or Pro.
Ok, I think I might finally upgrade....
Glenn what was the main problem Reaper was giving you?
He said reaper 5 was giving him graphical lag on a 5K Mac, reaper 6 has this issue resolved
@@adamsteelproducer many thanks. Be careful your Professionalism is showing ✌
Hi ! Can you let me know after the 60 days trial period will reaper stop working
Sunny Sharma no, it won’t stop working, it will just give a message that you should purchase it.

Are you on a Mac or retina/hidpi screen? Try changing the theme sizes to 150%- if not ask on their forums and let me know, could be important 👍
Casey P reaper blog website has a post about that issue today
@@TheREAPERBlog thank you so much!
Hi I'm trying Reaper ... heard good things about it. ... How do I get volume faders on mixer instead on pots?
Change the Theme or use Theme adjuster and change fader size to larger and fader will show.
Hey all.. has anyone been able to make out what the voice says in the background the moment after you stop playback? Its very faint, very subtle, but its there.
You are talking about within your own usage of REAPER?
New to this reaper thing, been using the trial version past its trial period and planning to pay the 60 dollar price so do i expect a better recording or processing from the paid one?
No, it’s the same. Why would they limit the trial? That’s what makes no sense with most other companies
@@adamsteelproducer hmmm. I was expecting that once you upgraded to the paid reaper there will be some additional freebies like plugins or controls.
Should I upgrade to 6? I'm worried that my older projects get corrupted somehow
They won’t be corrupted. Reaper project files are text based so you can actually read them in notepad
This seems to me to be not a beginners tutorial, either that or I'm slow at assimilating this info. Is there a good tutorial for beginners with Reaper 6.0. The Reapers I downloaded today is 6.11 on 5-24-20. Does anyone know a more beginners version. I was at Hop Pole tutorial for version 5 and he notes here 6 is a lot different. Any leads would be appreciated.
This guy's tutorials are awesome, and I noticed no significant differences between 5 and 6. You can also check the official reaper website tutorials.
Look for "Reaper 6 explained" on RUclips by REAPER Mania
Hi, I have a question. Is it possible to handle tempo envelope in the same fashion, as you show at 12:00 with midi envelope ? Thanks.
Hey! Not sure, I’ll try it later today. I’m on a plane all day but I’ll let you know. I think it would make sense since it’s all the same engine design
@@adamsteelproducer much appreciated, thank you.
So I don’t have that panel with the record button, the play/pause button. Is just the tracks without that part with the record button. Can someone help?
You’re missing the transport controls. Go to view- transport
Thanks!
Hi ! Can you let me know after the 60 days trial period will reaper stop working
nop.
Does anyone have this issue - In version 6.01 my Waves plugins are not available, but they are in version 5.99. I have the VST paths configured the same in both versions. I have read to delete and add Wave Central and such, but that seems like a BS resolution. Any other ideas would be appreciated.
I don’t think I’m having that issue. Are they v9, v10, v11 plugins? Mac or Pc? 32 or 64 bit?
@@adamsteelproducer Thanks for the response. v11, PC 64. I downloaded a free plugin....it shows up in 6.01, but not 5.99. I asked the same on the Reaper forum, but no replies, yet.
Wonder how much different v6.02 is gonna be from this one...
It’s already out- small improvements!
@@adamsteelproducer Yeah Just updated it right before I made the comment :)
I am in the stage of thinking about switching to Reaper from Logic X. I can’t afford the new Mac to just using it for Logic x. One thing that I really like of Apple is the UI design, I watched Reaper themes and I didn’t like. I would have to think of a new PC Win just for audio, or a Hackintosh... I don’t know.., Very difficult for me to decide.
Any suggestions?
Maybe just look through all the custom reaper themes you can get, they’re all free and change the whole layout to something you might prefer
i know i'm a year late, but there's a reaper theme called iLogic which mimics the logic pro theme and is pretty nice
I can't turn off auto render in repear 6. Can u help me plz. When i switch to another application and switch back to repear, auto render is star. Help plz. Tks u so much!
There’s no such thing as auto render, maybe you’re seeing the peaks being generated. Just let that happen
Hop Pole Studios i can't understand. Can i talk with u in facebook?
Can reaper record audio in 96khz
yess
Is there finally a way to remove DC-Offset in the audio editor?
There’s a dc offset plugin, you could use that or add it per clip and render that section out
@@adamsteelproducer Thx! Very annoying way to do such a simple task.
Cakewalk is now free.
whats your experience with cakewalk? would you recommend it over reaper?
@SunTai
I have been using Reaper for 10 years, Studio One for 6 months and Cakewalk for three months. They are all excellent.
@@highrotation0 any day if you're a beginner
What's new is headaches that's what's new .
REAPER IS THE BEST DAW IN THIS PLANET.
My reaper keeps crashing randomly. At first it look like it was a plugin misbehaving but then it happened with another plugin...and another one...and another one. Got to the point of just using stock plugins then it stared crashing at rendering. So frustrating. Deleted everything on library folder on my Mac ...everything . Fresh clean install it but still keeps crashing on me. Went back to Ableton live 10 which at this point havent crashed on me even tho im using the same plugins that Reaper crash report says was the issue. You ever heard the say; "If its not broken dont fix it" Well apparently Reaper developers havent yet.
You’re the only person I’ve heard from with this issue, contact their forums for support as it might be something simple that needs changing
@@adamsteelproducer Something like what...? Already checked all videos and forums related to this new version and they all say the same thing. "It should work the same way version 5". Already waste touch time dealing with that and I have a project with finish line coming up. Can''t keep wasting time dealing with this issue. So disappointed. And im not the only one ....theres was some other guy having the same issue yesterday.
Are you using Thunderbolt driver?
@@Firas_Patov No. Ive been using firewire for the last 6 months. Before that was USB audio interface. But that doesnt matter cuz even with the USB interface it still crashed. The issue is with version 6 because I just found out how to download the last update for version 5 and right now is working fine ..havent crashed at all. So , its v6 the issue.
So you used Reaper 5 before without a problem? If so I don't understand why the issue you seem to have is such a big deal and you switch to Ableton? IMO you should always finish a project with the software (and version) it started with. That goes for every software and every brand. Then when the project is finished get some help from the great support of Cockos and their customers.
Only appeal s1 has on top of reaper is the melodyne possiblity
Melodyne integration is now in reaper with ARA so that’s gone out the window...
@@adamsteelproducer what do you mean ?
Does it come with melodyne ?
No but AMA means everything is automatically setup within items without having to play anything or analyzing first. Saves a ton of time. No idea if Studio One has this but I know it's a fairly new thing for REAPER.
I downloaded I ready
But I have waves 9.97
And when I try to install the reaper asked for the folder waves 9.97
I found but anyway didn’t let me
I’m so frustrated
Because I want reaper
Can you help me please
I have iMac
Get waves v10 or v11. Sorry but Waves don’t support that version anymore so there’s no incentive for developers to support it either. And it sucks, but Waves have a terrible model in their support and it’s on them to fix it (which I doubt they will)
Hop Pole Studios
Thank you and I really appreciate
Your awesome 👍🏻
Big Sur broke reaper 5. I guess I have to buy version 6🙂
Studio One has had parameter/graphic "miniview" integration in the console for all of its plugins for YEARS, and I can think of exactly ONE manufacturer that made their plugins compatible with it. It is not in their best interest, because it's a) not a universal experience, b) often not as convenient as one might think, c) work that will ultimately only benefit one subset of users, ignoring the massive amount of Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live, and Cubase users that have never had such a feature. They won't do it.
reaper has alot of options but they half do it compared to studio one. but hey this what we get for the price.
Half do it? I don’t know what you mean
@@adamsteelproducer THEY DONT PUT THEY ALL/SOUL INTO IT WHAT I MEAN. the imagery,functionality, they just throw in as a option you have to go through 99 steps to get one thing done. even dow other dawa take reaper ideas an make it better but reaper the first to think of it. Reaper needs more money behind it OR they might have the money and just not care! The reason it being so small in size no good GUI or other built in things like vst instruments and such so they can sell it cheap. Which is cool to each its own.
Ok so the gui isn’t pretty to you. But you can add a theme to make it look any way you like. And you don’t need to go through 99 steps for anything, it’s the fastest DAW I know, which is why I use it.
Sounds to me like you may be salty since you’re not comfortable with how it works, therefore it must be bad and it can’t possibly be you so it must be Reaper…
@@adamsteelproducer i actually like the regular gui in reaper but once you go insided plugin menu and every other window..look like a manuscript 🤣🤣🤣 a paper full of lines
@@adamsteelproducer yea its the fastest once you worked on it for a few days trying to create everything yaself...its pros and cons to it...TIME IS MONEY WITH ME. Im a all arounder. but again cant complain about the daw for the price
Set video speed to 1.5, you're welcome.
Am I the only one annoyed that the colours on the t-shirt and the colours of the cables are inverted?
WE NEED EUCON SUPPORT NATIVELY ON REEAPER
I cannot understand the changes of the new interface. I hate it.
You can always change back to the 5.0 theme in the theme menu, although I will say the flat look makes sense after a while as it’s easier to find what you’re looking for at a glance
reaper????? Come on man.... Ableton
This video is specifically about reaper. That’s not even an opinion.
Reaper is useless if you use MIDI with hardware instruments. Stuck note all over the place, especially with older synths. Other DAWs I tested do not have this issue at all. I'm finished with Cockos. This issue goes back many years. They keep adding new features and never address this stuck notes problem when there are numerous threads about it on their forum.
Stuck notes in midi is not reaper specific, and is likely a problem with the midi computer interface you’re using. If you move away specifically because of this, I wish you luck but I don’t think you’ll see an improvement
@@adamsteelproducer It's not my interface. I have two interfaces and I have tested with Reaper on OSX and Linux. It's the same and no other DAW does this. Even on an old synth like the DX7 which exhibits the problem severely but only with Reaper. Sadly, Cockos has not addressed this known problem while constantly adding new features so I'm moving to another DAW.
I've been waiting forever for them to change those hideous MIDI CC bars. Ewwwwww. All they need now is to theme their plugins to not look like Windows 95.
Their inbuilt plugins aren’t pretty, but because of a complete lack of gui they work with themes, and are very cpu light and platform cross-compatible. My mix doesn’t get any better because my plugins look pretty either
@@adamsteelproducer Your depression does though 👍
Hot Pole. It sounds like you're saying Hot Pole.
Ok. I’m not, but thanks 👍
it still looks like an eye-sore.
A great feature would be the ability to mute Reaper fanboys.
UI still ugly
Well I like it.
You can customize it to YOUR taste. Why not do that?
There are tons of themes you can choose from (some of them are PT, Cubase etc lookalike) and even create your own if you want to. I recommend visiting the Ressource Website

One of the benefits of Reaper is to be enormos flexible. You can easily create toolbars, buttons with any function, reorder menus etc just how you want it.
@Nathaniel Walker I guess there's DAW for everyone out there. But if you can pinpoint specifically what is it that you think can greatly improve the UI/UX on the users' forum, perhaps someone can come up with a solution, or the developers might consider it and implement it for a future release. Frankly, I'd be curious to understand what exactly you want to see improved on the UI that the current theming cannot help solve.
Cockos forums which is reapers only source of help is a peer based help system.They banned me for trolling because I complained about Reaper crashing on me all the time.I never recieved one ounce of help from reaper.This channel has been good,but Reaper has no customer service what so ever.Save the 60 bucks and the headaches.Stating flaws in a DAW is not trolling Just a heads up to anyone thinking of getting this daw.
Sounds like the wrong approach. The guys on that forum are endlessly helpful if you come at it with the right attitude
Instrument / FX windows and browser still living in the year 1998, no new development modern framework used, no new instruments or FX. This reskin doesn't cut it.... because of the for-mentioned crippling reasons, besides the poor design of it. You get more in a point update / .5 update of Studio One than you get in Reaper in 5 whole years., and you can upgrade for the cost of what it costs to buy Reaper at 50 odd quid..during black friday from any matching version, i.e Artist or Pro.
