Reaper 4 Released!

[alphacat]

Is there a cpu indicator in reaper? I'd like to know how much juice I've got left.

View > Performance Meter.

Alpha, you experience a performance hit in 4?

I'm having a little trouble with MIDI mapping. I'm trying to map the send volume of a couple tracks to some faders on my MPD, but I can't find the box that lets me do this :s If I remember correctly it was in the envelope options, right? I can't find it

Actually, the opposite: a few of my more hoggy plugs seem to be doing better... specifically non-Synthedit/Synthmaker/Pluggo ones. Would presume C++ to be the lowest common denom for the ones that work better, but haven't had a chance to test that yet.

Hudson - you should get on the REAPER forums for your issue. Probably either something easy or it needs to be on the wishlist.

the opposite I find.
No DAW has come close.

V4 has improved things slightly since 3.76.

I only ever really have issues with the FabFilter plugins causing cpu issues.

So just got back into town, and had to do a sesh in Maschine, my new love. But I could no longer deny it, I really needed Maschine inside of another daw. Can't put that off anymore. I think reaper would make the perfect tape machine to print stuff out of maschine for final arrangement and mixdown.

Anyone have experience using maschine within reaper? Any issues I should be looking out for?

when'd you get a maschine? i remember you wanting one for a while when you had your padkontrol. im guessing you love it?

[nowaysj]

Haven't seen any of my posts about it? haha, love it. Yes. The love is actually starting to wane just a little bit as I come up against some of its limitations. But still, yes love it. Get really good results out of it. Really good.

Is anyone else having troubles with copy/pasting?

yo, i don't know if you're still having problems with this but i know some other people probably will be--it's not a bug. it's called "smart copy" which pastes your item at the end of your time selection. i've spent a while tryna figure out just how this is useful but i just cant...anyways, usual cut/copying is SHIFT control v/x. you need to change this in the actions list!

[nowaysj]

Anyway to get db levels out of the meters without putting them on recording view and making them huge?

i downloaded the reaper demo and i cant even figure out how to get a damn note down

idk why but i just cant even begin to work reaper. i only messed with it for like 5 mins but still. i could somewhat figure out ableton and logic after a bit.

and no noways i havent seen any of your threads about it. i was off dsf and my computer mostly for like a month so i must have missed it then. but glad you like it man. it looks seriously killer. my friend uses it to dj too..

[nowaysj]

Yeah matey, live performance tool, writing tool, jamming tool, sound design tool. All without a computer monitor (essentially). That is happiness for me.

Right click, create virtual instrument on track.
Choose synth.
Go to midi lane, Ctrl + alt + Left mouse click to draw in piano roll.
There`s your synth done.
Open Media Browser and drag n drop till you`ve created your beat.

Could it be easier?

[nowaysj]

Yes! Haha! Easy enough though.
