It costs me 0.5 seconds to click on the arrangement window and make my marker or region there, that isn't a big problem.
Or are there people who are making 100 markers in one song? Then it would need 50 seconds to do that (supposed they all have their MIDI editor open)...

Even clicking in midi notes and moving items around is enough of a barrier between thinking something and hearing it for me. Why tolerate half a second added anywhere you don't need to? An attitude like that gets you a really clunky daw.

There's always been a resistance from some in the Reaper user base to incorporating well known design principles. I think there's a feeling that it somehow or other insults Justin, the developer, who has a bit of a cult status.

While I agree with your statement, the real problem in design @Reaper is the dev's design philosophy, not his followers. As a Reaper owner and longtime follower it has been very frustrating to watch such a brilliant coder almost completely ignore most other DAW workflows (except maybe Vegas), in favor of the velcro approach to design - throw a bunch of features out there and see what sticks...ugh!woggle wrote:is a Reaper user featureOgopogo wrote: An attitude like that ....

Shhhhh - I heard that Justin is going to implement chord tracks a la Cubase but go Steinberg one better by allowing unlimited chord tracks per project. Magnifique!

It's not required - it can be the same exact keyboard shortcut for the same thing between main and MIDI editor, if you want it to, if you use the pass-through action.woggle wrote:requiring people to learn multiple keystrokes for the same underlying functionality has increased the memory requirements unnecessarily-that is poor interface design
It indeed is more flexible this way.

It's crummy design - anyone with experience in UX or Interaction Design should know that and hand waving about flexibility doesn't change that. Why not just code your own just how you want it - that's even more flexible. There really is no need for this strange defensiveness around the Reaper design - if anything it has held Reaper back .EvilDragon wrote:It's not required - it can be the same exact keyboard shortcut for the same thing between main and MIDI editor, if you want it to, if you use the pass-through action.woggle wrote:requiring people to learn multiple keystrokes for the same underlying functionality has increased the memory requirements unnecessarily-that is poor interface design

Improving the way that instruments and FX panels are displayed would be a massive step towards usability. At present, it's just way too convoluted to use, which is why I jumped ship to Studio One and Logic.
