Question:
Okay, so this makes REAPER very difficult to use in live situations. I'm forced to manually insert delay plugins on each track, or I can insert a zero-latency plugin that reports the input latency on the monitored track to get the REAPER PDC to kick in. Is it not a good idea to have REAPER do this for me automatically based upon existing I/O latency configur

I don't think you're understanding this properly, email me (justin at cockos) if you need more explanation.

Question:
May I be forgiven for asking about a REAPER feature due to the forum goons having no idea what I'm talking about? (i.e. what is the best possible method to handle this case?)

You are forgiven for REAPER questions as that is a valid question. The discouraging bit above is more to prevent people asking "when is REAPER going to do XYZ?" or "why don't you implement ABC?"

Question:
Does Reaper provide an option to take into account input latency while monitoring and include this in the latency compensation to delay other tracks so they line up with the monitored input?
Asked by adlongername (70.66.148.x) on August 14 2015, 7:59am
Reply on August 15 2015, 2:49am (edited at August 15 2015, 3:01am):
That's not the way that latency compensation works in REAPER -- instead, how it is done is:
1) You play along with the playing project
2) When the recording is added to the project, it is offset by the monitoring latency amount (this includes both input and output!), so that what you heard while recording is what you'll hear when you play the project back.
So, the end result is the same. Get it?
By default, REAPER doesn't include PDC latency on the recording track, however there is a per-track option to have it include PDC latency on that adjustment that is made.

Hah! Well let's see. In the fall some of the video stuff started shaping up, and I started making videos with it. It was a lot of fun. How did we get to August?! Lots of other things in there, and a bunch of branches ready to be integrated for 5.01/5.1. More work, too.
At this point in the existence of REAPER, we've wanted to be really careful not to break things. Which since I just wrote that, there will likely be some earth-shattering bug that requires 5.01 to be released tomorrow, but hopefully not.
That's the hardest part -- REAPER 4.7x has its flaws, but it does mostly work and mostly work well, the flaws are relatively minor and known. So any time you go make big updates, you run the risk of fucking things up completely. So hopefully we've avoided that, and me saying this doesn't jinx that. I am knocking on wood right now.

Question:
In most DAWs, when you hit the MIDI keyboard the sound - from a VI - comes virtually at the same time. Enables for great playing. But not so in Reaper, where the latency delay is horribly noticable. It's the only thing that makes me shun Reaper. Will Reaper ever get that functionality? And if so, within an overseeable timeframe?

Probably best ask Pete about it (I don't know personally), but looks like MS is going C# for ease of development. I venture in due time win32 will become antiquated. Gotta keep up with the times.

Multi-device MIDI access will be nice. Hopefully the APIs aren't terrible. WASAPI sucks. Actually, most modern MS APIs really suck. :/ Would be nice if they just said "hey we've improved the classic win32 APIs" rather than "here's a new API".
...watching more: too much "opt-in". Sure, audio core isolation sounds great, but you'll need *all* of your drivers to opt-in. So in practice it will be tricky, I'd imagine.
