I'm coming from another DAW that is very well known and probably much more common than Reaper among musicians in my field, so while trying the Reaper demo I wanted to make use of the customizability to replicate some of the things I'm used to from the previous DAW. And man, this program really went above and beyond. I'm even using a theme that's based on the previous software and the transition has been much more enjoyable than I expected. Every time I look into how I do something in Reaper I find 5 more cool things I can do. I'm a programmer too and I haven't even looked into that entire world yet.
So I'm very impressed and I will be happy to stick around and support the developers when this demo runs out. That's all I wanted to say. This is really great stuff.

If you ever start to code: head over to the developer-subforum.
And if you really want to get the cool stuff running, have a look at my Ultraschall-API, which is an extension, which provides a lot of functions to make things even easier to program: https://mespotin.uber.space/Ultrasch..._Concepts.html
The only convenient way to program the whole rendering yourself
Welcome to the forum, btw...everybody came from another DAW so saying it isn't a sin. Most people here are pretty nice too, probably different than your devil other DAW also.
Welcome aboard. And to help you on your way, as you probably already know, there's a great PDF User Guide and a squillion awesome videos there to help you:

It’s a very pleasant experience in many ways for people who are into software development. It has an incremental delivery cycle akin to internal projects with daily builds and developers who understand how to handle feedback properly. I’d guess as you delve deeper that you’ll also be happy to see how agnostic it is structurally. Data containers are for the most part just data containers and signals are just signals. It does very little in the way of assuming or dictating how you wish to handle stuff. A track for instance is just a container lane for other containers and you can put anything in them. It lets you freely create hierarchical structures as you see fit and send and process signals back and forth as you like. This open design does require that you take the time to come up with your own work flow protocol to get the most of it but that is not different from how a lot of professional, non-consumer or in-house software works.
For anyone who likes to tinker or just appreciate being given enough rope it’s truly amazing. I’ve used REAPER for a long time and I sometimes try other software just because but I always return because for me it can’t be beat in terms of power, flexibility or just the sheer editing speed it allows. It sometimes draws criticism for being convoluted, less than straight forward or half baked. I’ve sometimes felt there was validity to that but over the years I’ve come to see it differently. It’s a very pragmatic piece of software that always chooses functionality over form and what can sometimes seem messy is just what happens when you prioritize capability and flexibility over polish.
I’ll stop now before my fanboism turns into self-oscillation.

Are you talking of Logic or ProTools, do not make a secret of it, information needs to be shared to be useful, no matter how big or small. Welcome in this forum. As a programmer you can dive in then into the 3000+ lua plugins.

I've recently done the same, coming from Logic Pro X, and find this DAW so much more flexible! Watching Kenny's videos to understand this DAW have been priceless...great community support, amazing pricing structure, so many positives to this switch
Wow, this DAW is great
