Reaper

I have Reaper. It is swell. It is far superior to Cakewalk. Suck it.

[TheTestingYak]

I disagree. Cool Edit Pro 2.0 combined with Audacity is the superior way of capturing your music. Good Day.

I wish to discuss this with you.

Bored Shan?

Only the really good conversations are with myself sadly.

Enough. Give it a rest, shake on it and call it a day.

Now using Sonar Platinum - I mean if it's Platinum it's better than Gold. right? right?
TBH I'm way too lazy to start learning another DAW at this stage.

I started by using sonar LE. It was horrible. Nearly put me off DAWs for life!

I switched from Cubase to Reaper in...2006. Maybe early 07. Pretty sure it was 06. Anyway, I haven't even considered another DAW since.

I don't know or care if Reaper is better or worse than anything else. I genuinely think all DAWs are the same when it comes down to nuts and bolts. It's all just personal workflow preference. And I use a DAW at about 1% of it's actual capability, so I just stick with Reaper because I'm familiar with it, it's inexpensive, it updates regularly, and I like the people behind it.

Do you do this at work, too?

cool new (to me) feature in Reaper:

Using the [ and the ] keys can cycle thru your project markers.

Just a random miss typed key and discovered that.

NEAT!

Also this thread is stupid. where was it going ?

Oh yeah! I use that all the time. I had to find that one after I realized there was no shortcut to jump to markers before 1 and after 9

Thanks for making me google my own language Raymond. I always love how you can make me feel like the worlds dumbest person sometimes.

Ok so if you are wanting an explanation it is as thus, i make frequent use of the region markers in reaper. like I'll light up all the verses, solos, choruses pre-choruses etc. with markers (shift+m to insert a marker) and, typically this comes in hand when copy and pasting drum loops and i usually just hit the number of the marker and it transports me there and i just ctrl+v and keep going. SO say i get done programming the drums for chorus 1 which is at marker 4, i copy the midi chunks, and then press the '9' key and it transports me to the second chorus and i paste right there. easy peasy.

the only time it isn't easy is when you need to transport to any region with a double digit. I never really found an easy way to short cut those easily.

But last night i started programming some drums for some friends for a cover they wanna do and i was tired and accidentally hit '[" key and it moved my time marker to the region marker previous to where i was. so i hit the key next to it ']' and it moved me ahead one region marker. SO that was kind cool. basically just these keys act as a right left direction arrow but only for moving around those regions you set.

Hopefully this makes sense. It it doesn't i have translated my post response into Ray-speak for you.

O, most sagacious Raymond, thou hast compelled me to plumb the depths of my native tongue in a manner most unexpected. Thy words, though ofttimes delivered with a touch of levity, possess the uncanny ability to reduce even the most erudite minds to a state of befuddlement.

Verily, I make frequent recourse to the region markers within the digital audio workstation known as Reaper. These markers, which illuminate verses, solos, choruses, and pre-choruses, serve as invaluable aids in the task of copying and pasting drum loops. By merely invoking the numeral corresponding to a desired marker, I am transported thither, where I may paste my musical constructs with the ease of a seasoned virtuoso.

For instance, having completed the rhythmic patterns for the first chorus, which resides at marker four, I may duplicate the MIDI data and, with a simple press of the '9' key, be whisked away to the second chorus, where I may seamlessly implant my copied creation.

However, a minor vexation arises when one seeks to navigate to a region designated by a double-digit number. Alas, no facile shortcut hath hitherto been discovered.

Yet, a serendipitous event transpired last night as I labored upon the rhythmic foundations of a cover song for my esteemed friends. In a moment of weariness, I inadvertently struck the '[' key, which, to my astonishment, propelled my temporal marker to the region preceding my current position. Intrigued, I experimented further and discovered that the ']' key possessed the counterintuitive effect of advancing my position to the subsequent region.

Thus, these enigmatic keys function as digital arrows, guiding my sonic explorations through the labyrinthine landscape of my musical compositions.

love ya buddy.
