Yes it's a cancer that slowly eats what there is of good. When you are working, you can't rely on things that all of sudden is risking to break down workflow and projects. As far as you are not working in the basement, you have time constraints, you have paying customers, you have a series of things that don't permit to give space to "nerditude".
If Reaper implements things as NATIVE that are enabling working ppl to rely on these features and to speed up the workflow, also the basement-nerd will enjoy. And if he/she's so stubborn to stay with the old stuff, he/she can as well.
Instead I see on several level, that who works is put in second priority or even ignored.
Reaper is really quick, reliable, improves the workflow a lot. But certain important features (
Gass in Klang listed some and we're here for the one is still missing) for who works with, are ignored and some of them, when implemented, are just an approximation (see how the containers are implemented. Not for who's working and has not time to go through pins, diagrams and whatsoever).
To leave these things to external scripts is just a no-go. If any is basing on the external scripts, he/she will meet severe issues impacting also pre-existent projects, in case the script's author gives up. It's already occurred e couple of time and it will occur.
It doesn't make any sense to keep the Reaper version with which one closed a project, because perhaps in few months one should installa htat version in order to reopen that project in case the used scripts are not any-longer working with the new reaper versions.
See HeDa scripts from the version 7.00.
And to be able to work really quickly and using the containers (especially in sound design) the only one way is to use Sexan's Script. The day he will give up and in which new versions of Reaper are making that script not any longer working: we're in the sh**t.
That's why certain things have to be native.
It's just an example, so it's not a unique stuff ...
Now back to the topic: it's important for who works for real, to have the less clicks as possible to implement something and in this case by enabling the Reasurround Panner as suggested.
I notice that this topic was opened at the time of the 6.21+dev0123
We are in the 7.07 .... in which I still use an old theme because the new one, not only is not yet ready, but has all what's needed on Layout B and some other needed parts on Layout A ... I can't work by witching Layouts. Again: the strong sensation about things not done for who's working.
hence my give-up status ... I mena: it's useless to try to explain these things to who is not interested to understand and solve these kind of issues ... it is like it is ... fortunately the time will make generation change and also ideas to be developed. Bye.
