Thanks for the continuous improvements, devs!

Two things I observe in this dev release :

- The range of negative/positive offset seems to be now -500/+500 ms when it was previously set to -1000/+1000.

- The text of the offset feature is now blackened, so it gets lost with a dark theme, as seen below :




A question : could someone explain to me the difference between this great new offset feature and something like the JS "Time Adjustment" plugin? I remember strange things happening with that plugin in the context of big MIDI projects, but now I can´t see any difference comparing the plugin with the offset feature using two identical tracks loaded with heavy-PDC plugins. Any insight regarding this topic will be appreciated...

AFAIK, "Time adjustment" only handles audio. (There also is the stock JS plugin "Midi Delay" that handles positive Midi delay.)

There also is the ReaPack -> "+/- Delay" JS plugin that handles positive and negative delay as well for Midi as for audio.

But only the built-in track delay can handle the "MIDI playback catch up" as described above.

The list has existed for years now, going back to v4.11... v6 sounds like a really great opportunity to have this sorted out at last after all these years, and make Reaper at least somewhat consistent visually.)

The difference is that you don't have to load a plugin to have track delay. Better UX

It would be amazing if there was an option to auto-crossfade the loop point of items when they are extended (looped).

Much of the time I'm importing selections from the media explorer, and as it's very hard to have the start/end points at zero-crossings it means clicks every time the item loops.

I've been manually destructively editing in an external editor, but this would save a ton of time.

That's a very good suggestion, I'd say.

Thanks so much for this update devs!

Please consider adding an API for the track delay, so that HeDa can incorporate that into Track Inspector.

Thank you!
Maybe now is the time to fix the reset of the envelope shape of the fades when copying via Ctrl+Drag?

THANK YOU DEVS!!

I'm amazed by how you can turn out these fantastic updates and fixes. And am excited to test out your novel approach to chasing negative delay. Preliminary tests have put a big smile on my face !! The negative delay notes are even caught upon cycle loop!

Thanks for all the hard work and dedication.

On a brief test with Addictive Drums 2 and LP10 - which is quite heavy in the PDC department -, the time adjustment plugin also catches up with the offset playback.

Understood . Probably, the weird things I remember about the plugin´s performance were related to some other internal aspects of REAPER that have been improved. I don´t know; from now on, it´s good to have multiple choices to achieve the same thing and have this feature also available natively.

thanks, guys! behaving great here even on FIPM items, which exhibited the bug behavior described but were not part of the original report.

And also it is independent of PDC thus it is not adding a sample buffers worth of delay by adding a plugin to the track.

Are you sure ? I in fact doubt that it's technically possible in Reaper to do do negative delay without rounding up the delay on the other tracks to full buffers.

(The known problem with PDC uprounding is that it currently is done for any plugin in a row in an FX chain instead for the sum of all of them.)

I'm pretty sure. Otherwise... if you added -500ms delay to a MIDI track... Live playback of MIDI would be completely latent. No? Right now, if I add -500ms to a MIDI track and play LIVE... there is no added PDC buffer to Kontakt.

And you can verify this in the Track Manager under the PDC column.

Plus... don't underestimate the awesomeness of the Reaper team

That's correct, with the caveat that the negative delay only applies to recorded media playback, not live performance. In other words it's not time travel 😃

don't forget API functions to get/set track playback offset please, please please... we will have a party

And one to Get the maximum/minimum(negative) playback offset in project would be awesome too. This way a script could know how much to rewind the play cursor when starting to play.

@schwa and @Justin,

Fantastic on all counts. I'm almost reticent to ask after all you included in this last push, but I think it will come up. Right now the action Track: Bypass track playback offset behaves like a toggle. This can be tricky when trying to sync states on multiple tracks.

Would it be possible to add an ON state and an OFF state? Like this perhaps:

Track: Track playback offset -- Bypassed
Track: Track playback offset -- ON


Or... even better.... add the Get/Set track delay On/Off to the API list here?:

reaper.GetMediaTrackInfo_Value( tr, parmname )

Thoughts?

[edit -- I guess Heda beat me to it above]

Yes, having simple on and off actions for it along with toggle would be nice indeed.

This is my #1 GUI complaint. Reaper is a fantastic skinable DAW with certain GUI elements that look like Windows 95 spreadsheets, and no ability to change that. So hundreds of skins with the same 20+ year old looking visual elements still there.

Love the new track offset feature. Really brilliant implementation.

This will work perfectly for offsetting my midi orchestra track so they line up with the grid. I love the new option to apply the offset to the receive source tracks. I was thinking I'd be able to use this up offset my Print buss tracks which have plugins that would normally require PDC delay. The track offset function does work but I can see my self forgetting apply the offset action to my receive source tracks and therefore printing my stems out of sync.


Would it be possible to implement an option in the I/O window for the user to type in PDC delay, thereby doing away with the need for the extra JS plugin on each of my busses. The advantage for the user is that it would allow us to delay by exactly the number of samples needed instead of Reaper offsetting by full buffers for each plugin.

Hi, will you create a Walter element that can be added in track tcp panel to distinguish the tracks with offset?

Something like tcp_offset_on tcp_offset_off

I think it could prove very useful!!

It would be really helpful to have the Playback time offset available in the TCP/MCP track controls, which is where my Time adjustment jsfx's offset used to live.

I think it will be just playback offset.

How does the action Track: Bypass track playback offset (42232) work? I'm running it on a selected track.. nothing happens. the checkbox is still active. I can bypass correctly from the Track Manager. But this action doesn't seem to work.

Seems to work as expected here, although if you have the advanced setting enabled so the track I/O window remains open, the checkbox won't refresh until you close and reopen the window.

This is what I was suggesting but adding a manual PDC delay box in the I/O window instead of having to use the JS delay plugin to accomplish the same task.
