Why you left REAPER?

[excuse me please]

Occupy my DAW

Oh ye-ah!

@perfumer

Ok. I have coincedentally actived/enabled 'some option somewhere.'

Please let me know how to perform such activity in Bitwig. Yes, I am using Bitwig since April 2014.

I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with Reaper, it's user error which starts from the attitude.

Can you manage plugin slots on a track directly from the TCP yet? (ie as can be done from the MCP)

Not natively but with a script, yes: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=210987

Like the comment OP said, you can script pretty much anything. And if the API doesn't allow it, scripters ask the devs to add the relevant hooks and they do.

I'm sorry. But these things happen. I did not say Reaper is a bad DAW.

Reaper is sort of a Arch Linux which is set up as bare bone for people who have their own plugins, and sample libraries, who have a lot of experience with DAW's, know what they want, and know how to, and like to set up their software in every detail. Cubase, on the contrary, is a DAW which is set up and catered for what less experienced, or also professional producers and musicians want, who can't be arsed to set up every detail of the software, so that it fits their needs, because, the software is already set up so that it fits most of the users.

That's how I feel about Reaper, and, that's also why Reaper is not the right software for me. I used to own a license, but, one day, I bought a Cubase LE version on a mag DVD, and never looked back, because, it's just not the right thing for me. I also can relate to most, if not all the objections raised in this thread. It also confirms my opinion about the software.

Ok, I'm just a simple person. So I drag a wav file track into Reaper. The track clips above 0 dB and sounds crappy.
Now I drag the same track into Bitwig and the track nicely peaks at -10 dB. Sounds good as well.

One of you geniuses care to explain?

Maybe you have Bitwig's tracks set to the default -10 dB? Either way they should sound identical if everything is set the same.

[excuse me please]

@Vladislav_Gronk

That's what I thought. Well, I'll follow perfumer's suggestion. Delete it and install again. Atm I am not behind my laptop, however.

Or perhaps the question should be "Why didn't you stick with REAPER after you demo'd it?"

Now we all know most people just start up REAPER and see the hideously ugly UI, the complete lack of consistency and cohesiveness between various aspects of it's interface, going one second from the just plain fugly standard, to those hideous Windows 95 esq windows/screens like the add FX windows etc, and then the totally chaotic menus and what have you, they just shut it down never to return again. Even though REAPER is very customizable, that doesn't seem to fix the issue, as with custom themes, they all seem to come with their own issues and annoyances.

that, exactly. Windows 95 shareware look and feel. It just feels unprofessional. And I say that as a Cubase user, which isn’t exactly the best designed DAW out there...

Or are it the similarities between the Linux and REAPER psyche that scare you off?, after all REAPER is often refereed to as the "Linux of the DAW world". The similarities are many and varied, and somewhat undeniable, from the seemingly complete disregard towards aesthetics, to the reliance on amateur user made additions for functionality, and on and on it goes.
?

No. I’m a Linux user of over twenty years, professionally, and I still code in vim. I would LOVE if cubase had an integrated command line interface and a scripting language!

One other thing you didn’t mention is the “REAPER ARMY”. You know, those missionary zealots who answer any question in any forum with “Have you tried reaper?” or “reaper can do that”, regardless of the relevance. Which is probably another similarity with the hardcore Linux evangelists. Feels like some sort of cult sometimes and makes me not want to use reaper ever...

Wished I could disagree, but, I can't.

Might be the equivalent to putting on your beer goggles, not sure.

I don’t know, what are beer googles?

[chk071]

Not sure if I used it correctly: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define. ... %20goggles

[recursive one]

I can't.

Have you tried Reaper? Reaper can do that.
