Reaper 6 wish-list!
Hello, this is my Reaper 6 wish-list so far,
- Better scrolling in the mixer window, really deficient scrolling up/down to get right/left and
very fast scrolling, usually to both ends in one move, very unintuitive and so amaturley designed. Easy fix!
- Really try to work on "Takes', it is so difficult to work on many takes when they are rhythmically different, it gets messy very fast with cuts all over the place. If it could be possible to have a "destination" track under, or a "main" track where you could just send the auditioned take to it, and a dedicated solo on the other takes that mutes that track. There is a reason that so many people love the "playlist" function and it should not be difficult to get "Takes" to that level, that would make Reaper so much better.
- Have a "link" function of track and item grouping, when working with multi tracking it's almost always the case on wanting to group those tracks and edit on them. An easy "toggle" on/off and we are there!
With these features Reaper 6 would be, with no doubt, the best program there is.
Thank you and crossing my fingers that someone reads and thinks about this! - Sebastian

My wish is for improved microtonal support including scaling with scala tuning files.

The ability to launch specific FX's using shortcuts.
Then we can launch them directly from a control surface...or the Elgato Streamdeck
Most of the time we use the same specific plugins, this would help to save time, moreover some surfaces (like elgato stream) allows users to personalize the LCD icons on the keyboard. This would be a huge improvement, and I'm still surprised that no daws offers this function yet. And, to my point of view, it does not require months of developpment...

Is this not possible already though? Just right click on an FX in the FX list and set a key. Having all the most commonly used FX on hotkeys saves a lot of time.

correct. this is already possible natively for past year with both individual fx and fx-chains in items, or tracks depending on last touched
Adding fx to track via shortcut has been possible for many years through sws resources, a little less conveniently. Sws way is still good for track templates.

+1 for Scala and microtonal.
would be awesome to color the channel controls, perfect would be of course to have a modular channel strip option on every channel - anyway js and reaper stock plugs are amazing so proper channel strip on the mixer would be a bingo imo.
multitouch
mackie with extensions please
waveforms or spectrograph beside level meters?
video thumbnails
kick ass midi editor with logic etc
chord track
reaeq thumbnails in mixer?
ugh so much to ask but still i literally sold every license of monster daws and now reaper apologetic. thank you guys for making this. i think reaper is an emacs of daws. imo "others daws are like stars and reaper is like a sun - not just bigger or brighter, it simply makes everything else vanish."

you already can select a bunch of midi notes and enter a formula in a property to apply same to all of them. IMHO this is a kick-ass feature .

thats true. I only work for two years with reaper so its a lot to find out. still, i am convinced the cockos crew will make everything in the best way!

Microtonal support would be a dream.

I do have a Seaboard, that in fact allows for creating microtonal content by using MPE to pitch-bend any pressed note.
But I have npo idea how Reaper might be supposed to "support" this other than by just storing and playing the Midi events.

Support as i see it would be to allow the "Item Properties: Increase/Decrease item rate by ~x%" and "Item properties: Pitch item up/down one semitone/octave" to follow a global tuning file. And to let the virtual keyboard and MIDI editor keys adjust themselves visually according to the tuning in some way but i am not sure about the exact implementation.
Composing in different pitch intervals should be an essential part of a DAW as customizable as Reaper. Lack of microtonality is a huge limitation on expression.

What do you think should be the format (file and output to a VSTi) of such composed content ?
What can be done by a script would be:
- compose your piece in Midi notes that each represent a pitch of your choice
- when playback, run the Midi stream through a JSFX plugin that creates MPE Midi from the content, converting each note-on to a pair of Pitchbend/Note-On events adhering to a file you provide to specify your microtonal choice.

The way i see it ideally is to be able to upload a .scl file in preferences, and then have virtual keyboard, midi input etc pitch bend the MIDI note as you play before it reaches the instrument. And after recording it, the MIDI is pitchbent during playback. The MIDI itself could be stored normally, ignorant about the tuning before it. Maybe? To have this in every way but natively seems messy to me.
To be able to automatically/manually adjust the position of keys in the virtual keyboard and MIDI editor would be a nice way to have visual overview over each tuning though i do not know if scala files contains data about which keys in each tuning are "meant to be played".
I am a beginner to microtonality so i'm not sure what the best way is.
Logic used to have global settings for microtonality like this:
But i think they removed it recently... Classic.

I don't know if Reaper is going to include sound libraries or new VST'i. But maybe, a interesting option, would be to include a "free VST, VST'i, Soundlibraries, midiFiles" installer LINKS.
Cockos should offer this option to the developers of this kind of plugins (Tokyo Dawn Labs, LABS by Spitfire, drummic'a by Sennheiser, for example). They'd get new users and have a huge platform, and Reaper (and his users) would have a all in one DAW.

I have no idea about programming, but I'd like to think that Reaper has got the previous tecnology needed to that.
We have the dinamic split (useful for rhythms matters), spectogram for tone, even the tecnology used in reatune or reapitch to midi-audio conversion.
Maybe it would be possible to create a "smart tool" or a plugin to indentify an audio track or item and generate a drum midi item related with the audio information inside. Something similar to the Logic Audio's drummer.

Cache or save loaded plugins when scanning, and don't rescan them every startup.

It should be free to anyone over the age of 90.
