Did they hire UI designer? Or is it the same.

Reaper is an amazingly adaptable DAW, and is so cpu efficient.

Looks the same to me.

Fascinating! I too would love to see the stats for demographic usage on Reaper! Please share the URL where you found this collected data. I would love to look at everything else that's been determined regarding this demographic. Please? :)

Agreed! To me, a Linux user, Reaper is the perfect DAW for me. It is so very full of functionality and is very, very flexible and powerful. It allows me to do what I want, how I want. Reaper is essentially the Linux of DAWs. I think most Reaper users appreciate this from Reaper.

No tabbing of instruments and effects like Studio One. No Multi Instrument like node system for instruments or effects like Studio One. No programmable drum-like system like Studio One. No new VST instruments and no effect units.
For thumbnails you can replace the icons of toolbars with images. Look at this video at 4:50 to see how it looks.
For your other points I don't have studio one, but if you ask more precisely what you want to do ,other reaper users will be able to help you on how to replicate the studio one workflow in reaper.
Or you can just use studio one if you like it more.
That’s great

I’ve been diving into Cubase and went through adding thumbnails for all 3rd party plugins, and I do like visually seeing thumbnails for everything, except the organization is not convenient (or likely I haven’t discovered a way to reorganize it).

I still like the Imperial theme from White Tie and it shows how far the theme designs can go.

I’m not a fan of the default layout either.

If it were my DAW of choice, I wouldn’t mind spending time to customize some of the themes already available.

Did they add object FX, dunno if it is called this way.
You can add different fx to different midi or audio track in the same track.
Hope you know what I mean.

I never saw this in Reaper 6.
Does Reaper 6 also has this feature?

Post

It's called "Item (Take) FX".

See manual page 111.

Ah. I found it a few seconds ago.
Greate stuff:)
But there is no fx label in the items like in Reaper 7.
Or can I change this?

Post

No clue as I don't need(ed) this feature.

I actually still use the old Paulie theme for Reaper, though I've slightly modified it to suit me better. I just like how minimalistic and clean it is. I've also modified most of Reaper's actions and modifiers to more of a blend of workflows that I got from my history with ProTools, Logic and FLStudio MIDI editing. It's for that reason why I stick with Reaper, because if any part of it bothers me, I can probably change it... :lol:

I have tried other DAW's like Studio One and they are great, especially the included effects and the sampler, but they lack that customization to truly make it my own and the efficiency just isn't there yet in my case. However, it's this reason why the choice of DAW's is great and why the nature of so many DAW's differ, and the idea of "this DAW is better" and "this DAW is for amateurs" just feels a bit alien to me when music is all about your personal workflow and what taps into your creativity. Reaper is for me, though I still use Logic and ProTools sometimes too since they are common here and a standard where I've worked and taught.

And when things like cost, judgement on skill level or experience start to come into play about your choice of a DAW of all things, it almost seems a bit like childish classism and certainly not something I'd expect from good intentioned individuals. Sorry. We're all here to make music, to interact with each other from all sorts of backgrounds, beginners to professionals, let's not try to make things a playground to put others down. 8)

This has always been there, no? Or are you talking about something different?
