Another thought would be to auto collapse entries that never get clicked, and after so many times of never clicking them, auto hide them all together, but make them still accessible from the top level item.

Who and what do you bullies think you are? A useful resource to the developers and the community? Don’t kid yourselves! You are the ones who give REAPER, its DAW and community, a bad reputation, not the ones who choose to leave.
Thank man, respect to you. I didn't like the sarcastic answers as well.

Is TyrellN6 a SynthEdit plugin, or is it based on something else? I thought about downloading it, coz I always like the old Rolands I owned, but hesitated because I sort of avoid SynthEdit plugs, due to some issues in the past with them.

It shouldn't be, it's U-He.

I'm hardly a champion poster myself, but I've been around a long time too.
If I hit a snag, I tend to try my best to find a solution before asking.
Just idly lurking the forums from time to time has deepened my understanding a lot. And I do make a point of jumping in and helping others if I think I can. Half the time, someone's already got there before me and sometimes I learn a better method than mine.
As I've said passim, I haven't written any serious code for nearly 30 years, but from bits of research, lurking and some "kindness of strangers" I recently went from custom actions to basic EEL to functional (if not exactly optimal) Lua scripting in under a week.
REAPER seems to be as much about the enthusiastic community as the software itself. Bullying is actually remarkably rare on these boards - and people generally pitch up and stamp on it pretty quickly.
And no hard feelings, of course.

Thanks. I'll grab it then. Long ago I had some issues when running multiple SynthEdit plugs, so I just avoid them now.

So if this feature is "standard in other DAWs", it does already exist for Reaper as an action (and doesn't require a person to create his/her own script); it currently has that one limitation I mentioned though, so hopefully that gets fixed just in case.

@grayter1: these scripts have existed in ReaPack since Jan 2017 (based on the dates listed for the scripts). I had found them in under a minute after reading your post. Although I was also able to make them fail in about as much time, based on my JS plugin option. Anyway now you have that option.
Thanks James. I searched through several actions, and tried a few, but could not make them work as I was expecting them to, and experienced a few issues. I may have run into the problem you described, and when it failed, decided not to pursue it. Again, as I pointed out, if I hit a wall, and the answer (or workaround isn't obvious) then I use another tool that is.

I'll give these actions another shot, and hope the JS portion gets fixed.

A lot of people love it, I rarely use it - can't say why exactly other than I have so many other synths including Zebra 2 by the same company, I just never seem to need it. I don't remember not liking it per se, it just didn't end up getting much use in my setup.

Oh for goodness' sake, drop the bullying angle.
The OP has been gracious enough to admit that frustration got the better of him and he didn't really present his argument very well as a result. Just about everyone has been mostly understanding and at worst a bit snarky, but has also been gracious and said "but okay, no problem" at the time or has been back to say it since.
Wow, if you think this has been bullying...

In most cases if I want a synth on a song, I'll use the Arturia Minimoog, because I had one for a lot of years and dialing up sounds I've imagined on that interface is fairly easy for me. I did also have a couple of Roland Junos though, and they did have a different flavor of sound, due to their digital oscillators, and different filters, which is the main reason I have an interest in the TyrellN6.

I'm going to give it a try later. Right now I gotta go buy a homebrew beer kit to make this weekend and then go to band practice.

calling bulling or not is indifferent. It does not give value to the forum or to the user. So not positive.

You know, you're right! Let's drop the bully angle – even though I don’t agree that the OP had it coming, or however you wish to put it ...

I would like to apologize to all the posters whose only contribution to this thread was pure sarcasm. Please, knock yourselves out!

And happy new 2018 to all of us!

I hadn't played live in about six years and then about a month ago a guitarist I had worked with a few times, emailed me wanting to know if I'd be up for playing a few select live gigs per month. Being in the position I am, I thought it sounded perfect and took him up on the offer.

The first rehearsal, I had them make me a USB flash drive with every song they do on it, so I could learn the material on my own time. I told them straight up that I had no interest in "learning" songs at band practice. I only want to spend that time getting tight playing the songs we all should already know.

They actually thanked me last rehearsal for doing my homework.

No problem. I was only suggesting to grayter who seemed to be making a feature request to use a mod to add to all selected, and I was saying that best case a mod shouldn't be necessary, that selection by itself should be an edit filter whenever applicable or viable. Selection (track, clip, whatever) should always be a universal edit filter for those kinds of things in general.

I don't think the OP really had anything coming. Was just pointing out that he himself realised that he perhaps could have expressed himself in a better way.
There has been some childishness, I won't deny that or defend it.
But personally, I think sarcasm should always have a fair point behind it and preferably a sense of humour too. Hey, a cynic is just a romantic with a coating of oxide.

Gott nytt ar.

I've got very shirty with people in those circs. It's simple - first you write/workshop, then you practise, then you rehearse/adjust, then you soundcheck, then you perform/record. It's not difficult.

The number of times I've sent charts and recordings round weeks in advance and people plainly haven't bothered to look at them...

MPL said he was probably going to write new scripts to do this reliably, using a different approach. link to his post What a nice guy.

That's ok - just ask your questions, one at a time.

The Reaper community is very helpful, but remember, to trap a bear, it takes honey, not vinegar. Easy does it.

Thank you for that! Hopefully between all of us on here we might be able to salvage your opinion of Reaper, but if you really don`t bond with it, it`s no big deal - it`s just a pieece of software.

And HNY back at you.

Oh yippee! I don`t hit the pre forum that often these days as I havent had spare down time to play with pre release versions.
Just finished a friends project before Xmas, so now is probably as good a time as any. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: Quickly ripped through the various pres and didnt see anything pertaining to this. Which pre mentions this?

So the other day I had some musical inspiration.

Because I still hate the idea of opening a drawer, having to look for a dongle, put it in the
usb socket, wait for the pc to recognize it, start Cubase etc etc.... (I use a notebook...)

well the quickest thing to do was re-installing Reaper.
Of course, I still need to pay for it, which I admit is not cool.
But I will buy it. It's a powerful piece of software.

Still not happy with recording multiple takes, (your screen gets filled with stacked items in an obnoxious way )
but I am VERY happy with the way you can route everything into everything
and create beautiful sounds.

So, the conclusion I think is that it's up to the user what a software can / cannot do.

Cheers

You can disable that, so that takes just overlap previous items...

Options->Show all takes in lanes (when room)

CTRL+L - Use T and SHIFT+T to cycle through takes. Enable the options to autocolor new takes and place the take number 1 of x on the item and this problem goes away forever.

Cool thanks man . Is there a way to MOVE one of the takes without moving all ?

You can move the audio inside of the take without affecting the other takes using ALT+Drag but that still keeps the take inside the item which is essentially a container of takes. What is it you are wanting to do when doing so? Maybe knowing a little more about that might help with any solutions, if they exist.

Sounds good enough, sometimes I just like to record tons of take and then see what I can comp out of them...

Yea, cool, I do that. In that regard, ALT+Drag is good when you are comping and say some cool phrase is in both takes 4 and 5, the better one is in take 5 but is a little late - so it can just be moved over a smidge without affecting the timing of the other takes.

Usually what I'll do is lay a bunch of takes, sometimes improvised, sometimes not. Then I'll find the first phrase and place a split there, loop through all the takes for that phrase with T/SHIFT+T and pick the one I want for now, next phrase, rinse, repeat.

While I'm doing that, I may grab a split that I made previously and slide it left or right as needed, it happens when you have a lot of takes like that where further in you realize some split between two phrases works better if it is say 1/2 through one of the phrases instead of in between them and so on - or maybe I'll add a new split because I want take 3 of 1/2 of phrase 2 and take 5 for the other half of the phrase. YMMV but I find this creatively efficient with the takes collapsed so I can just concentrate on what is happening instead of all these visible, inactive takes that I'm not hearing.

Usually by the end of this process, I'm done, so I don't usually compile different playback combinations but if someone does, they can save each of those as a "comp" for later auditioning using the comp feature.

Interesting, sounds like a logical approach, I'll try that.
I read another user's approach which would imply...using more tracks, one for each take... I think that's a good idea as well (as naive as it may sound) because then you have total control

Yea, it's really YMMV on which method is the least work to get one where they want to be.

The top 5 daw reps gave me copies. I loaded all of them up to find my new DAW. None of them was doing it for me. Reaper has been on my mind.
I dropped the money on Reaper. After 45 min, I uninstalled all the other daws.

If I have a problem, the folks here are more than helpful. In fact, I looked at the forum before I bought Reaper.


The Reaper community sold me on it.

Agreed. This place is a communal 24/7 help line, and after a while you just feel inclined to dip in and contribute, as far as you're able. In that respect, the community is rather self-generating.

Every now and then someone comes along and says that it's terrible because it doesn't behave like MyExDAW, to which the perfectly reasonable consensus answer tends to be a) "you can make it do that and here's how" and b) "no problem, hope you'll be happy back with the ex".

In fact, a lot of the reasons people tend to rant against it are precisely because they haven't asked for help. And help comes.

True. That and snapping peoples heads off (well, mine occasionally) when help is offered,

But YES the Reaper community is an amazing resource & as far as I am aware if not unique at least pretty damn special.
A big "THANK YOU" to all the folks on here who have helped ME over the years.
And of course Justin and Schwa, who mostly seem to know when to step in when the rest of us are floundering.

I must agree to this.
Every time I use takes and recording that way the last bit of audio (tail) comes up as a new take on a new lane... and for some reason I cannot just select and remove it (thus shrinking the height of the track as well). If I delete it, all the takes gets deleted, delete active take (after selecting it) also deletes everything.

What am I missing? Is it Free Item Positioning? I do not know.

- What do you do when you wanna delete a selected Take ?
Do you hit the Delete key on your keyboard ?
Cause this will indeed, delete the whole Item.

To delete a selected (and thus active) Take in an Item, there is a dedicated Action for that in Action List:

Take: Delete active take from items

EXACTLY adXok, that's exactly what I was struggling to explain. You always get that 'extra take of silence', which is kinda annoying !!
