Though I am now leaning towards S1 to be my main DAW when I briefly used Reaper I felt no pressure to go beyond the default setup. I did however briefly did venture and made a few adjustments in Preferences and was pleased with the outcome. As for scripts if I ever go back to Reaper I will attempt to find the ones useful to me. Yea bit time consuming but then the results over the long run make it worth while.LawrenceF wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 3:54 pmIn defense of Reaper and other workstations with scripting, that's a really narrow minded point of view.
1. Nobody has to do it. It's 100% voluntary.
2. If you do need X function, you can wait two years for it to maybe get added to an application or maybe a "nerd" can give it to you tomorrow? You don't have to do anything but ask in either case. Nobody is asking you to script anything.
Why anyone would argue against the ability of other users to just give you new functions is beyond me. Reaper didn't actually invent that, Vegas did it for ages. Those guys are "nerds not making music" right up until they code something you need, then they're handy to have around right?
That's the main reason I don't share my S1 scripts anymore, that point of view that if I know how to script in it and I take an hour or two a month to add something I actually want, I must be a nerd not making music. To those people I say... "Fine, wait 3 years for your Feature Requests and I'll just do me."
Here's some things on the S1 FR list that I already have... a short list.
Things that make working or mixing easier.
- Remove all unused instruments
Solo In Front
Remove Empty Tracks
Filter Tracks by name
Find tracks by name
etc, etc, I script little things I need as they come up.
I have not used ReaPack https://reapack.com/ but if I again try Reaper I would definitely try it.
Reaper 6 if released soon may urge me to give it another try.
For me it is the multi-touch and superior ARA/Melodyne implementation that has moved me to the S1 camp.
