What's so special about Reaper?

[Trancit]

Fact is, that Reaper definetely lacks of drag n drop support of audio from the timeline into a plugin...
Reaper lacks of many features, which are present in other DAW´s for electronic music production...

Actually Reaper supports and has supported drag n drop to plugins for a long long time, I wont even bother with the rest of your post because you obviously don't know Reaper either.

I didn´t see this post before... so coming a bit late...

Please try to learn reading correctly before you go and try to blame other people...

I wrote drag n drop support from the timeline or perhaps better understandable for you from the arrangment into a plugin and that was never supported by Reaper

sounds a handy function - is this the sort of thing where a DAW allows drag and drop into any plugin that takes audio or does the plugin also have to allow for this feature? And.... which DAWs allow this?

thanks,

You can drop a media item to a plugin by holding ctrl+alt, which renders a new item basically. Tried it with Kontakt and works.


Plugin also needs to allow for this feature IIRC.

works for Soundmorph Dust as well - thanks for that tip

So when I recapitulate this thread I come the conclusion:

Reading the manual + asking in the forum
is much more important in Reaper than it is in other DAWs.

I'd say reading the manual is always important no matter what the program.

This is correct. But you’ll get a hell of a DAW.

i remember one thread where the thread starter explicitely said that Reaper is no option and 2 posts later he was recommended Reaper due to its inbuilt supremacy.
so asking in the forum is no option i'd say...

Sure. But he didn’t say the opposite.

Apology ?
No didn't think so.
You learn to read, and learn to use the software before claiming it cant do something it clearly can, tool !!!

These arguments are quite entertaining but in fact the main thing that's special about Reaper is that I use it. That makes it absolutely unique among DAWs. I've tried several others but I don't bother with any of them now.

But will my (excellent IMO) reasons be convincing to anyone else? No of course not. You aren't me so you don't need or want the same things. So I might as well just say "I like and use Reaper because it suits me better overall than anything else I've found".
