Does Reaper have anything like this? I was messing with reaper earlier and had a crash and couldn't find any way to recover it. I had not saved it even once. but.

You can configure some kind of "Auto Save" for saving automatically every few minutes, must be in the Preferences...

I just save after every big edition manually, because some plugins make REAPER crash without warning, and then there is no turning back...

That's exactly the beer brand I've meant...

(But be careful, it's so strong as Californian wine...)

It has autosave and you can set the time interval. This is wonderful! I had to flip a breaker to fix something in the studio and hit the wrong one. I could hear my monitors pop and knew the computer was shut off. It is set for every three minutes so I was in the clear.

These are separate saves from your make project file, so over time you get a list of saves a mile long. They can be deleted whenever.

Also nice if you want to revert back. Open both projects on tabs if you like.

YT changed the audio quality a bit.

No midi involved.

Nice Work Lawrence...sounds great!!

Rado Vox. I think. The Rado themes are pretty well done.

There are a lot of themes that look really good, make you go "wow, that looks cool.", have buttons that look like some obscure hardware or something, but aren't all that functional / usable in practice.

Rado is one of the exceptions, looks good and is very usable, imo.

I loaded up this one really great looking theme and tried to mix with it and after spending about 3 minutes looking for the FX button I changed back to something else.

I'd take it personally, but since Lawrence and ED seem to feel very similar on many subjects, maybe it's not

I think (respectfully to them) some people are just tired of hearing about it.

It's really not even a complaint per se, it's more just an ongoing discussion about an area of potential improvement. It keeps coming up because every 2-3 weeks or so someone somewhere asks "What's wrong with Reaper's midi!?!?".

Nobody involved has ever said or implied that you can't make great midi music in Reaper, you can, only that (in some ways) it's a little harder than it should be.

That's why I - after testing some new themes - always went back to the default theme. It's not the nicest of all, but it has all of the functionality and usability. And on my part I don't need too many colors - they are only distracting me from the sound...

what I want is.

Click on a track and it arms and selects monitor input. audio and or instrument.

while the track that you were just on. un arms and un monitors.

like in Reason. just click on a track and it arms the track and also turns the monitor in on. and of course... un arms the old track.

I could have said this with 64% less words.

for others who want to do the same.

here's a video of the action. this will save me a lot of time.. less clicking.

https://www.box.com/s/810d9a445ca8d87ce978

SWS: Save current track selection
Track: unarm all tracks for recording
Track select all tracks
Track: set track record monitor to off
SWS: restore saved track selection
Xenakios/SWS: set selected tracks record armed
Track: set track record monitor to on

Go to mouse modifiers and set the action to double-click in the TCP context.

Thanks Argle!!

can't get this to work the way I want it to.

here is what I want
https://www.box.com/s/cd91f085dcdc86a96c82

notice how I simply select Pre Count and set the cursor. when I hit Record, it does a one bar countdown with the metronome and then starts recording wherever the cursor is set.

Here is what happens in Reaper. no matter what I do, if I have the Metronome enabled.. it will not start recording at the cursor(bar behind or so).
https://www.box.com/s/e329768f6e3f4faa8d43

if I set the metronome to countdown for one bar.. and set the cursor.. it should count down and start recording at the cursor.. like in the first video with reason.

I can get it to record at cursor if I do not use the metronome countdown though!
https://www.box.com/s/5788eb8f9ff663378ccb

all I want to do is start record at cursor after a 1 bar countdown.

anyone?

Reaper - What's the catch?
