Default Undisputed GOAT for Mixing

These are small features that will save a lot of time in the long run and in my opinion will make reaper hands down the best Daw for mixing (It's almost there)
I know there are workarounds for everything I've listed below but all of them are flow killers or are heavy on the processing side

Post Fader inserts - Really good for creative Applications and airwindows console

Multi Mono Fx (like in protools) - Right now I need to use 2 plugins and change the pin connections and set them up separately, can't link the left and right side

Linking Fx across multiple tracks - I know there are some scripts but they are unreliable when mixing big projects because sometimes they don't work or change parameters of unlinked plugins. I'm looking for a more robust way

Fixed Fx slots - Helps a lot in organizing and dedicating slots across all tracks for specific plugins
Ex - All tape machines in slot 8

Track selections affects fx bypass, offline, sends Etc - When selecting multiple tracks there's no way to bypass a specific plugin across them
It's a great feature when testing a fx process across multiple tracks
Ex - When i select track 1-5 and bypass fx slot 1 then that fx slot should be bypassed for all the selected tracks,
I know you can bypass in Fxbay but it will bypass that specific plugin across the whole project not on just the selected tracks

Sends window - Should not close when selecting something else so we can make changes to it while also changing parameters of the plugin it's sending to, It's a little annoying when it auto closes everytime

Edits -
Copy pasting Fx setting from one instance to another would also be a great addition

Having notes window (like the icon box above tracks) on tracks that can be saved as track template
ex - whenever I load a track template I have the tips and recommended setting already written.

I'm not trying to be greedy lol, these are just some things that i believe will make life a lot easier for everyone who's full time mixing in reaper
I'm not sure how hard these changes can be but i hope someday it'll be there
I'm already pretty satisfied with reaper and it has become my main daw for mixing

Thanks to the Devs for making this amazing daw <3

This works for FX with the commands "SWS/S&M: Bypass FX 1 for selected tracks".
Works for the whole selection. I have them on Shift+Num1-8. Great for A/B'ing.

Best,
Frank

It's not a complete solution as there are only actions for 8 slots plus you have to manually count slots, In studio one you can just select multiple tracks and bypass any one and that specific slot in all the selected tracks will be bypassed
I find that more intuitive

Fixed FX slots would be great. I’m thinking a per track setting could work.
