If you don't overlay lots of samples that are phase dependent on each other (like overlaying lots of bass drums) or multi mic instruments like drums then you probably won't need it.

i'd say its just a thing that gonna be fixed/option added soon. Beat Grids can be rounded to the samples imo

I am not sure if this is the place to post this, but it seems I have an issue with the CPU use with v.4.
When no tracks, no fx, nothing open or in work, so a simple empty project, the CPU use with 3.73 is around 0.8 %. the same with v.4 alpha 4 is taking the CPU to 20%.
Other than that, I believe v.4 looks great and brings some very interesting updates to Reaper. I am afraid though that an increased CPU use to that extend will harm my projects.
Is it just a simple issue of optimization?
My PC is AMD Turion 64 2X, 2 gigs ram, Win XP.

can not confirm this on Win7 (32bit) Intel Q9550 4 gig ram
have you exported you preferences from 3.73 & imported them to 4?
i did this & the CPU is the same in both here

Thanks Subz,
I follow your advice, and indeed the 20% use of CPU disappeared. I am not sure what exactly was the cause, but importing all the config from 3.73 makes v.4alpha4 to use CPU the same.
Thanks again!

I really think we should have an option somewhere to attach it to the main screen, right below menus where we can see them all.

yep same here... I guess it depends on how you have imagined using the floating toolbars, but for me, docking them over the main toolbar makes no sense.... but IF we could 'dock' or magnectially attach them to various other places [ala Audtion and or Vegas] that might be lovely. The push pins do help in the meantime.

Yes, I do love the pin right now the problem is we don't have an empty space to put it so it always gets in the way of some area.

hi, does anyone know if its possible to reduce the height of, or get rid of the preview window in the media explorer? I don't use.I'm using v4 alpha 3 and old v2 default theme. If it needs WALTER then this will be my first go.. thanks dave

Asking for notation is like asking for a Latin translation. You're a computer musician! Act like one!
Seriously, no DAW has notation done as well as Sibelius/Finale/etc. If you simply must input or export notation, use one of those (or a free program) to do it. It must be a pain in the ass to code for such a small use case, and much better would be if the REAPER team's man hours went to the other stuff on your list and perfecting the features they've already added...

Input-FX:
Great idea! What would be really great is if the input and output FX shared the same window, so that dragging FX between modes would be easy. It would also make things much more clear.
Perhaps a simple divider line. Perhaps grayed-out headings--with checkboxes, so that you could easily disable/offline all input-FX or output-FX... Perhaps with FX menu options to "hide input FX chain"...

Track Manager: Now this is something that I will use constantly!
What would make it full amazing is if right-clicking each cell would provide you with the same options as right-clicking the corresponding control on a track. And let the Track number column display the track menu. That would be amazing.

Batch converter: FRs and bugs :) will add to it as I find them
Since it is getting some love and also because it was getting ridiculous with the amount of "suggestions" I had, thought I'd put them here instead.
Feel free to add any.
Here's a few starters..
-Option to "render fx and fades to items before further processing"
This would be very powerfully AND hopefully easy to implement as it just means a behind the scenes application of "render item".
-The "open output folder" button
should probably take you to the media explorer instead of the standard OS one.
-option to "replace arrange items with batch converted ones when using add"
(this would be so great for people wanting to convert rates or mono to stereo etc.
it could also be done simply by un-ticking the "output folder" tick box)
-need an action to "open and add selected items to batch converter"
-When adding items from the arrange
(with the "add" button it should take the names from the items on the arrange
and not the original file names (or at least have option to).

I'd say it would be better changing icon if at least one instrument is in the whole chain... some JS or similar FX could be put *before* an instrument in the FX chain...

Agreed. (Not that I think this feature is that useful, but if it's gonna get done, it might as well get done right).
What I'd prefer is a WALTER variable "hasinstrument" so that everything about synth/nonsynth tracks could be different--different background, add/remove buttons, etc...

(This method would also allow the button icon to change, btw).

This sounds awesome. I'm starting to think though that if we get all the things like this we want WALTER is going to confuse the hell out of people who would never even try to use it, just by its mangling of Reaper.

Slight bump for snapping the cursor to item's edge for version 4.

Lots of great improvements, but seemingly nothing at all for the "live performance" users.

I also compose a lot of music for "live" use (stage, multimedia, etc).
What features, in particular to 'live performance' would you like to see in Reaper?

drag and drop behaviour
First of all, bravo for everything.
The drag and drop behaviour from the media explorer could be perfected : as the waveform and the item doesn't appear until you drop the item in the arrangement screen, it is way less accurate than reaper 3.
The previous alpha version crashed a lot when previewing audio in the media explorer, but now it looks stable.
Good job !

I'm sure it does in the latest alpha and also in the project bay?

How about a midi scratchpad? I am thinking about a very simple recording action with nothing to configure. You type a shortcut and start playing on whatever midi device and channel. The recording would go into a simple file which is independent of any project. When finished recording you would just be prompted to save or discard. The ideal scratchpad would use a system wide shortcut which works even if Reaper is not in front or better yet, even if Reaper is not running. Reaper would open in "scratchpad mode" without opening any given project or needing to read preference files.
Am I the only one who gets ideas which have nothing to do with the project they're working on? Who doesn't want to stop what he's doing to create a new project just for a vague idea? When I do stop and create a new project, sometimes the idea is gone or it has lost that little something which made it interesting by the time I'm ready to record. And ideas often come while doing email or other tasks unrelated to music.
I do have a default project which is ready to record a certain keyboard and I've tried stringing these bits out of nowhere one after the other in the same project and also creating a new project each time, but in both cases, going back to listen is quite cumbersome. If there are multiple projects one has to open each one just to listen to one short phrase. And if the ideas are in a long string, jumping from one to the next when no markers are set up is not as practical as just browsing through a list of short files.

Actually, I lied:
1) TAKE COMPING (within one track); and
2) TRACK FREEZING (freezing of effects/synths)
Those two would REALLY raise the bar, IMHO in Reaper - and that bar is already really high!!

This is going to be a *huge* timesaver - especially considering it can be automated in an envelope! However, it's clearly setting volume using CC7. Could we have a way to set this to whatever CC# we want?
Very frequently, users of multitimbral samplers like Kontakt will do instrumental fadeouts/fadeins using CC11 (expression). Using CC7 in Kontakt will alter the global volume of that patch, which is generally not the behaviour you'd want when fading - it ruins your mixing levels.
In an ideal world, you could create an envelope for any CC; possibly with a rightclick option in a lane in the MIDI take view ("Create Envelope from This Lane"), or just in the track Envelopes window ("Add MIDI CC Envelope..." and then you specify the #). That would make fades incredibly easy to see and easy to do, as well as all sorts of automation for parameters in multitimbral synths.

Hi Will, I guess you already know that you can create track envelopes for any CC or MIDI controller by using ReaControlMIDI plugin, right?
