The change ensures that if you insert a point by clicking on the envelope itself, the previous curve is maintained and the shape of the previous point is used. If you insert a point by clicking not on the envelope itself but elsewhere in the lane, the default point shape is used. New behavior on the left, old behavior on the right:



We can change this so the previous curve shape is preserved, but the new point gets the default point shape.

Then the problem seems to be with handling the very first default point.

Itself it is set OK to slow start/end but the next added point is wrongly set to bezier, plus it does behave like linear. (And the first point is then being set to bezier as well.)

EDIT: All new points behave like this, does not matter if there is only the first default point there. You can have the previous point set to any shape (except square) and the next point is always set to bezier but behaves like linear.

This may work as intended, but there is a bug.

Is the playback time offset per track still experimental? It works well. I was hoping it to be included in this release.

+ VST: support migration of supported VST2s to VST3 at project load (with user notification)

this sounds great but I can't figure it out.

What's a scenario that the notification would appear?

The VST3 API provides a way for VST2 developers to update their VST2 plugins so that the saved settings are compatible with a VST3 version of the same plugin. If this scenario occurs -- the developer updates the VST2, you have a project saved with that VST2, then load the project on a machine that does not have the VST2 but does have the compatible VST3 -- REAPER will give you this warning:

WARNING - The following VST2 plug-ins were not available, but matching VST3 versions were found. This is a one-way migration, if you save this project it will require the VST3 versions going forward: {plugin name}

Now if they just did this with 32bit vs 64bit versions, that would be super awesome. Both Slate and Arturia updated their plugin installation suites so that when you update it *removes* the 32bit plugins, so I haven't been able to update yet given I have 32bit versions scattered through tons of projects.

Still seeing the issues with Marquee zooming that I mentioned in the pre-release thread -

https://stash.reaper.fm/37502/marque...ue%205.985.gif

When the edge of the marquee crosses over into a fully collapsed folder track the resulting zoom position is inconsistent.

Just installed latest version and ABSOLUTELY LOVE this feature. Just one of the mistakes a newbie like me makes is not realising that Reaper is designed to work with (my Waves) VST3 not VST plugin versions. Consequence - lots of legacy uses of VSTs. Now, each time I load a legacy project, Reaper will implement VST3 where it finds VST, if I so wish. And that's great!!! Just love Reaper - it always delivers for me.

I wish I could say the same about Waves. Their move from v10 to v11 (Waves Central, and plugins) is causing me days of wasted effort, confusion, and plummeting confidence. I work on one Win8.1 machine and one Win10 machine. I keep Reaper on a USB stick (so my custom settings etc can move between machines) and my projects on OneDrive. Waves (in their wisdom) all but duped/forced me into moving from Waves Central v10 to v11. But v11 isn't supported on Win8.1. Also, the Settings/Tools stuff in Waves Central will remove all v10 or all v11 versions if you do an Update. It doesn't seem possible/easy to have both v10 and v11 on a machine. That means if I use v10 plugins on the Win8.1 machine, the Win10 machine will not recognise them as it only has v11 plugins on it. Or something like that. To be honest I'm completely confused by it all. And its not as if the plugins tell you (in your Reaper listing) whether they are v10 or v11 (why?) which might help a bit. So you end up in complete muddle. And even though I've bought all my Waves plugins within the last 12 months and so am covered for technical support, I've not found the Tech Support much use - they keep galloping to the rescue after I've sort of managed to fix a problem myself. So its hard to see how the extortionate Waves Update Plan fees are worth paying (and I won't be!).

So whilst I can't see me leaving Reaper behind, I might just wave Waves goodbye at some point. Which would be a shame, as I've had some good results with their plugins.

Hey ho, back to making music........if Waves Behaves (please Lord, let them!)

Default Graphics issue?

If I open a midi item in an undocked midi editor, dock the editor, then undock and close the editor, Reaper's toolbar;docked at top of main window,does not respond to mouse clicks; the icons on my desktop underneath Reaper respond instead. This does not happen every time, but is reproducible.It also does not matter if there is a VST2, VST3,or empty midi item on the track.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

(Windows 7pro x64,Reaper x64,Dual 1920x1080 monitors)

Can there PLEASE be a way to change this to the previous behavior? I really hate this, because while it may be useful for instances like the admin showed, the way I write automation is by adding points to the right and then modifying their values (kind of like what bFooz showed in this thread), so now every time I do that I need to go back and set the point shape as the one I wanted, making the "default shape" option useless.

Yes, this is reverted in the current development builds, and for the next release.

The select all function(CMD+A / Ctrl+A) in the Project Directory Cleanup window is not woking for me in this version.

Was this removed or a bug?

This looks interesting. Would someone care to elaborate on it though, please? I couldn't find any discussion about ReaGate in the pre-release section.

Is anybody else bugged by "v5.985 + Arrange: use arrow rather than ibeam for various cursors"?

Is there a way to revert this on my own through the theme editor?

Previously, with "invert gate (duck)" enabled, the signal that passes the gate was subtracted from the dry signal after applying the dry mix fader, so if you didn't have any dry mix, the FX would not do anything. Now the signal that passes the gate is subtracted before applying the dry fader.

My Reaper has stopped doing this...

I'm not sure why, but it's quite important with my migration to Native Silicon plugins.

Any help?
