Thank you! I removed my previous sws extension dll file, did a fresh install of Reapack, and got it working just fine. I especially apprecate the S&M.ini hack to bring SWS menu items out of the submenu. :)
For those who already had SWS installed via the manual way, do you recommend deleting the SWS file in UserPlugins and proceed to install SWS via Reapack?
Thanks Jon! Windows user here. I followed along and now I'm up to date. Is ReaPack always a manual update? How often do you run that? I run it occasionally but not on a schedule like the config backup. Should I do it regularly/often? I hope you're feeling better...
Huh, REAPER (v7.11) crashed on me while updating. I already had ReaPack and SWS so I just went into ReaPack, synchronized, and installed the latest SWS. It crashed around 50% on the progress bar. Thankfully, after starting REAPER again, it continued and succeeded.
Hi :) Thank you so much for your time in posting these helpful videos. It is appreciated very much. I have, I guess a dumb question, as I am sure practically everyone already knows the answer to it, but with me being pretty new to reaper, I am unsure as to how I reload my saved FX chains into reaper after a new install. Can I drop the file into "Userplugins".? Thank you so much for your help :)
I have an M1 ultra Apple studio. I downloaded Reaper Universal. I followed your instructions a dozen times. it will NOT install. I downloaded arm 64 for my os Sonoma. I placed it in the user folder. When I reboot reaper I do NOT get the apple warning nor is there any message in my Apple system/privacy folder. There is no "anyway"to click. Do you have any idea why my extensions won't I stall?
I did that the last 11 attempts with no results whatever. Do you think I should move my Reaper dir in Library to a storage drive, download a new Reaper universal, and try the process again?
Guys! Help. I'm running Mac OS Sonoma. I've updated to Reaper 7.19 I've downloaded ReaPack and placed the .dylib file into my UserPlugins file. When I open Reaper, I don't get any prompts and the "Extensions" tab is not there.
the other thing would be wrong version of reapack. Intel vs Arm (Apple M series) processor. OR reaper app is set to open with rosetta. I've run into that before
I’ve ran Into an issue and I don’t know how to fix it. I’m trying to record real time changes I make in a plugin for an amp sim demo. How do I go about doing this in reaper? I’m looking to start my recording and have real time changes stay in my track. Please help
set the track automation mode to one of the writing modes (write/touch/latch), play the project and as you move parameters you should see envelopes written on the track. set to Read after. The button probably says Trim by default in your reaper.
Hey I actually figured it out! It’s definitely a bit sloppy how reaper has this set up personally. I’m honestly surprised they don’t just have this as a 1 button set up. Either way thank you so much you’ve truly helped me and been the only person to do so!
most users don't ever come in contact with .dylib files. Windows drives me crazy with the security stuff but no password required to install. my son keeps breaking the PC
@@TheREAPERBlog You can get that behavior on Windows by editing the registry, or simply run this Powershell command (right-click and run powershell as admin first): Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin" -Value 1
Thank you for showing the mac install, it's always a pain and confusing, I always refer people to your video 👏
That is so brilliant Jon. What a ballache though. Mac security etc. Anyway it works so thanks again!
Thank you ... this was helpful when I updated SWS, as my extensions disappeared.

Cool❤❤❤❤🎉 thanks :) and hello from cold Poland 😅
For those who already had SWS installed via the manual way, do you recommend deleting the SWS file in UserPlugins and proceed to install SWS via Reapack?
i tested both ways and it worked either way. reaper will need a restart after install or update of sws.
thx for posting this

Its all automatic once installed, just synchronize occasionally to get everything new
Thank you

FWIW that might be the first time REAPER has crashed on me since I started using it around 2011.
For me, on Windows, Reaper crashes when trying to install/update SWS via Reapack. I had to install the bleeding edge build from the website.
I posted the solution above

they go in the fx chains folder.
Go to Options - show reaper resource folder
and you'll find it
I'm hoping this fixes a problem I'm having opening old project files from somewhere around v5 or 6, in v7. Nope, didn't help.
oh my...I so forgot updating sws...I only updated the orher script ,shame on me
@5:34 is when my Reaper V7.11 (MacOS 11.7.6 MacMini M1), crashed. I've no idea if it updated. I hope it did.
possibly your reapack required an update before it could install sws.

you have to RIGHT-CLICK on reaper and choose Open.
I did that the last 11 attempts with no results whatever. Do you think I should move my Reaper dir in Library to a storage drive, download a new Reaper universal, and try the process again?
Thank you for the update. On Windows 11-crashes reaper trying to install. Error is a Runtime error. :( I'll try going direct to the site.
ReaPack must be updated first (Extensions > ReaPack > Synchronize packages) to fix that issue when installing SWS.
@@cfillion Thank you so much. Updating now, and the install worked. Thank you again

did you right-click on reaper and Open? that should trigger the security prompt.
@@TheREAPERBlog I did, but unfortunately it's still a no-go. I even looked in the privacy settings to see if the prompt was there. Nothing.

I'm having exactly the same issue. Did you ever get it to work?

Ou Eees
Apple's file system and install process is so convoluted and annoying lol
