Would you still buy Reaper if it will cost you as much as the other DAWs ?

You can delete it from the hover toolbar, but not the one over the track ( as far as I know), I'm pretty sure they are skinned separately even though they are the identical button set. I could be wrong on that.
Just to make sure you hadn't actually found a bug i just checked
And yes you can do exactly what i said in the default 4 theme (In fact in any theme, because toolbars have nothing to do with skinning whatsoever really)

Like i said you have to create a NO-OP action with a blank button so it doesn't just default, but yeah its doable like i said ;)

Oh and believe me it isn't just you by the way, the current influx of newer users on Reaper are completely the same, I have even been told by some that because a feature was implemented by the SWS team, it doesn't count and is unusable until Cockos implement it, and don't mention macros to them either, that makes them scream with anger that they have to put three actions together to get a feature they demand hahahaha

Maybe Reaper isn't for the average user out of the box, it does take some customising, for me that isn't a problem because the app works the way I want it to, not me having to work how the app wants me to.

The best thing about Reaper and it is really unarguable, is this, you don't have to use it at all, not ever, or ever ever ever hahahaha

grrr, can't post a picture from here. Just above the TCP on the left/top are all the default buttons (group edit etc..)

These are British Standard house bricks, which have a trapezoidal indentation on one side called a Frog, which the bricklayer places downwards onto a layer of mortar, to ensure a good key between the brick and the mortar. BBC construction contracts explicitly specify that bricklayers must lay BBC bricks upside down, thereby ensuring that the frog is completely filled with mortar, and thus ensuring that the wall is roughly 20% acoustically denser than standard brickwork.

They take acoustics very seriously at the Beeb.

That's interesting because when they were working on Walter during the alpha, this issue came up repeatedly. I don't know if it was a dev or White Tie or one of the other prominent testers, but it was accepted that this needed working out. I don't care what you call it. It doesn't work and it should.

I never once called you a fanboy. I've not called anyone a name or denigrated them. Not one time. Unless you feel Reaperite is a negative name. Which begs the question why? It's just a name for someone who has chosen to use Reaper as their DAW.
Luckily in this case i knew more and was right too ;)

Yes i think you will find that i brought it up to the devs a lot too, still not a bug and for you to call it such, well i dunno why you would do that really unless it is just trolling, seriously , i can turn round and say Cubase doesn't allow me to run when i forget my dongle, this is a bug, its crappy that it wont do that but it's not a bug.

Yes i do find Reaperite negative when used in the context you used it where you bunched me with others who may act like fanboys and talk crap, all i did was correct your mistaken ideas about things in a software application, this however does beg the question of why are you being so defensive when all i have done is correct your mistakes ?

No trolling intended.
So, it's not a bug. And, being able to toggle the interface is a feature. And, the buttons support that toggle. And, they don't keep the state correctly. And, the devs agree it probably should. And, the idea is for us to customize our own interface. And, when customization doesn't really work even though it looks like it should. And, that's not a bug. I'm good with that.

Yep not a bug
Actions can be togglable
Macros cant

It really is that simple, and believe me it is something i have been asking for a long time before v4 came around
In fact probably before v3 :(

The Reaper devs do listen to their uses but i just don't think they are organised in any way particularly
I moaned and moaned about fade handles on items, devs gave me no reply and the "Fanbois" told me it wasn't needed

Lo and behold what do we get yesterday, fade handles on the items, what happens, everybody sees how useful it is and starts using it hahahahahaha

Same thing happened when i originally went on the mouse tools crusade, I was bitched by "Fanbois" after "Fanbois" telling me that mouse tools should never be allowed in Reaper it is an asshat way to work (Check the forum i
t was very heated)
Still i came up with a way for them to actually hide the fact they had added mouse tools (Somebody even mentioned earlier in this thread that you have no mouse tools in Reaper, guess what, wrong again)
What happens
All those same "Fanbois" "Oh this is an amazing addition to Reaper, so powerful"

So yeah , don't call me Reaperite hahahahahaha, I ain't one of them gits hahahaha

Even if reaper cost 1200 I'd still buy it over Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools, FL Studio, and Live...

Yes, except get rid of the empty block and brown space above the TCP so the TCP can be there.

EDIT: at least you listen to good tunes on that track :)

Doesn't make any sense at all for the TCP to be moved up there, the first track would be inline with the markers/regions/ruler area
That would not be great design haha
