Did KVR Scare the Reaper Peeps Away?

Did the past implication that every DAW question on KVR gets answered with "Reaper" drive the Reaper fans away? It's a little strange that Reaper added Elastic Audio markers in it's recent update, a rather large feature and a 5-6 year old feature request, and nobody has even mentioned it here yet.
Is this the new bizarro world KVR where everything is opposite of the regular space time dimension?

I did some low latency tests yesterday with Reaper and my other workstation, at 16 samples, 0.8 ms latency, with a moderately large project (39 tracks, 51 mixer channels) with plugs, while also recording 16 mono tracks on top of it, with no issues at all. All while recording Camtasia video at 1680 x 944 resolution and also recording Camtasia's audio to a 44/16 file via the on-board audio card's mini jack.
But if you try to contextually explain that to some of the EDM crowd, that many people (and many recording and mixing sessions) don't use virtual instruments at all, they sometimes don't really hear it. All they seem to know is ... "I can't run 7 instances of Mega Monster Super Synth at 128k bufers so obviously this workstation sucks and is not suitable for 'pro' work."
Anyway, Reaper and my other daw passed the super duper low latency tracking and overdubbing test with flying colors.

Related tip (for OS X): Screenflow also includes a great low-level audio driver for recording whatever audio comes out of your system. And since the demo version watermarking only affects the video, it can be a great *free* tool for some audio workflows. (It's worth every penny for the screen cap stuff, btw.)LawrenceF wrote:[...] All while recording Camtasia video at 1680 x 944 resolution and also recording Camtasia's audio to a 44/16 file via the on-board audio card's mini jack.

Yes. I have a White MacBook and when I was flipping back and forth with Bootcamp a lot I bought Screenflow. It's a really great application, and it's a good deal less expensive than Camtasia.
And to your point (at least back then when I was doing both), yes, OSX core audio seemed to handle all of that a lot better than Windows audio. I haven't tried Camtasia on Mac but I would guess that it maybe also works a little better on OSX for that kinda thing.
Anyway, back on topic... Reapers "stretch markers" work really well. Good for Cokcos.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Camtasia for Mac is just about the same price (~90€) as ScreenFlow, also there's a bundle deal here where you can get Camtasia for Mac along some others for $49 only.

Could they be making music instead of pontificating on KVR?

Yeah, Core Audio is a pretty awesome framework. And so is Core MIDI. But the other part of it is that Telestream are top class at their stuff; Screenflow is arguably just their cheap consumer grade spin-off product.LawrenceF wrote:Yes.

And as for pricing, again: for audio workflows, just use the demo. And perhaps find out why it's worth buying for all the rest - or not.

But REAPER stands for Rapid Environment (+some more), so following the logic of that name, Reaper users should finish first and have more time to spend on KVR, so...

Lately I am having a strange and annoying problem in Reaper. Using latest 4.4 with WASAPI at 48K/24b. Doesn't happen frequently but quite annoying. The issue is, every once in a while suddenly the tune starts stuttering for no reason. I have tried the following and it works but not all the time:
1. Closing and opening Reaper the song
2. Change from 48K to 96K
3. Changing from 24bit to 16 bit works
4. Just open Device preference page and close
Has anyone faced this issue?
