I tried to make my Reaper a super-DAW :D

Post

I don't know if I'd call it a feature per say . But Impact XT plugin for StudioOne and the Atom controller ...it's a basically like drum racks for Ableton in a sense but not quite as feature rich . . I've tried stuff like Battery with Reaper and just didn't get on with it . It seemed very cumbersome compared to ImpactXt . I do use some of Battery and NI samples with Impact XT .

_one_ of the things in Cubase is the quantize window, where any tuplet you can enumerate can be a secondary grid, and that grid can be the tuplet over triplets or dotted values. I don't "overquantize" or apply it after-the-fact so that things conform, but as a guide and a way to sort things I do from impulse that are that kind of thing, out of my praxis.

good luck scripting that one, too

if you can, it can be improved on by allowing eg., project window to use a different quantize display than Key Editor. I have to set Project window differently manually each time. It's one click and a fraction of a section but still an irritant because I'm judgmental.

another is global tracks in Key Editor (the piano roll), so markers, tempo track, ruler appear in there. It might do that one, I have no idea. I don't imagine the dotted pentuplet or 'five in the time of 1/3rd of a triplet' et al is even a notion for REAPER.

nah, I have real specifc reasons I use the thing

If you could make Reaper's comping system work like the one in Pro Tools, that would be perfect.

Why would MY favorite DAW feature impact YOUR Reaper build?

Because often times similar workflows and features can be "built" into Reaper using custom actions, modifications, etc.

Speaking of, one of my favorite features of Bidule is that it can be loaded as a plugin itself, which can be a lot of fun combined with Reaper's routing capabilities.

Not sure that I'd really have as much use for going the other way around if it were possible (Reaper as a plugin inside Bidule), but I'd give it a try. :)
