I've been getting occasional hangs where the whole GUI freezes up for a second or so on these last few versions, I think it appeared around the Halloween release (spooky eh?), anyone else seeing this at all?

I'm W10 x64.

EDIT: It was me being a numpty - I forgot that I changed my autosave settings to be more frequent, and also to save even when not stopped - so that's all it was.

There seems to be an issue with marquee zoom in this release - zoom position is inconsistent and sometimes zooms to the wrong spot.

https://stash.reaper.fm/37452/marque...om%20issue.gif

After further investigation - I can recreate it now, it occurs when any part of the marquee crosses over onto a collapsed child track.

Hi!
I have several crashes if drag-n-drop mp3 files to a project on last pre-release versions on macOS 10.13.6



Also points on CC lane moves jerkily if I not use shift (default action on CC segment is "Move CC segment ignoring time selection", default action on MIDI CC event: "Edit CC events", +Shift = "Move CC segment ignoring snap")

Thank you so much, this is so close to feeling perfect and natural, there's still the issue with adding CC at the end of clips (as a boundary value).



You can see that the point Does get added, but is hidden behind the clip boundary. The first CC point should technically suffer the same "hidden" issue as it's on the clip boundary, but just the final point seems to have this problem.

Measure 1 is inside the time selection, but measure 5 is outside the time selection. That's just how musical measures work. They aren't both on a boundary; one is inside and one is outside.

It is weird that you can add something invisible though...

tough one, but I agree that it would be great to have it visible somehow.

I think especially in the case above, it should auto-extend the item as needed when entering the point. Anything else is pretty un-intuitive IMHO.

the notion of supporting multiple, overlapping midi items with multiple curves of the same CC is unintuitive in general. CCs are functionally monophonic, i can imagine no scenario where a user would want to feed a VST or hardware unit two simultaneous and differing sweeps of the same message.

REAPER needs to allow us to write CCs and notes easily, from one adjacent item to another, without sacrificing a big section of the Action List due to an "active/inactive" item distinction.

prioritizing support for overlapping items over single, left-to-right "track midi" style items is madness.

Why not make "CC items", and make it all the same as in AIs? From user POV it is all the same, automation or cc, it is just curves with control data.

Spotted another issue - source and bounds for render presets are not loading correctly.

Please see the attached gif -

https://stash.reaper.fm/37455/render...et%20issue.gif

I save a render preset as 'mp3 master' with source set to master mix, and bounds set to time selection, but if I then load another preset and then load the 'mp3 master' preset, the source and bounds don't load correctly. If I select a different preset, then go back to this one, it does.

Checked the behaviour with the latest standard release just to be sure, and that works as expected, so it appears to be an issue with this dev version.

Really putting this through the trials, cause it'll be awesome to get this right 100%!

Another quirk...



1. Drew a point with Shift-Click
2. Ctrl-Dragged to freehand Draw (as per mouse modifier settings)
3. Noticed that it's not really following the Ignore Snap...instead drawing points at each grid division
4. Noticed that if you click high enough above the segment that it then kicks into Freehand Draw Ignoring Snap.

Expected behaviour:
1. Shift-Click draws points
2. Ctrl-Drag freehand draws ignoring snap, always.

...figured it out, but will leave here to hopefully help others.

To get that behaviour, had to also edit the MIDI CC SEGMENT mouse modifiers to be "Draw/edit CC Events ignoring snap and selection" to match MIDI CC LANE. I guess it treats it as segment modifiers if you are sufficiently close to the curve?

Oh, does that mean the settings for TailMS, SilentlyIncrementFilename, AddToProj are now part of the presets as well?
This would be awesome

Anybody actually get this to work ?
Render with transient guides, then reimport the file and run the action to convert source transient information, nothing happens ?

EDIT*
Its a bug, works when rendering media items, but not when rendering media items through master.

FYI enabling embed transient on aiff *can* crash apps that support apple loops, so avoid using that if you are using an app that supports apple loops.

The apple loops format is closed, so any app that's not by Apple is guessing at what the format is. It's pretty clear where the transient information is stored in the file, but there is a lot of other data that we just leave blank. If you are in touch with the developers of an app that is crashing, you could ask them what their app is looking for in the file, or point us to them and we can try to reach out.
