Question: Ah its okay for the deleted song. I really love it, I hope you like it too (unless you deleted it even without listening XD). Anyway, SCALE FINDER IN REAPER is so helpful and time saver. In my previous DAW, after making song (mostly MIDIs), I had to manually figure out the scale of my song and it took me too much time. But not anymore, thanks to you! Just keep bringing more little cool tools like this which saves our precious time in making music. (Now don't delete this post because of no question XD)

Question: Why is the playback head lagging (not smooth, even a little blinking) in R. especially in the midi editor ? Strange for a DAW that is so powerful.. I've missed something for sure :) Looking forward to reading you Justin ! Best,

Question: if software requires .net in order to install, does this imply it may be more bloated or not run as efficiently as software that doesnt require it ?

Reply on June 2 2021, 7:15pm:

It's definitely not the most efficient nor least bloated way to make something, but it doesn't necessarily mean much (it's definitely possible to do worse without .net)! There can be lots of factors and specifics to consider Comment...

Question: Do you ever see Reaper being forked/rebuilt in a different direction? Maybe changing things that, for backwards compatibility's sake, are stuck a certain way because of early decisions? Vector graphics & GPU acceleration? Even if it won't happen, do you ever wish you could start the project over with your 15 years of additional wisdom?

Question: I'm in love with Reaplay. Thanks for that, Justin. Just wondering, why there isn't a "Repeat Song" option. I know my workaround, but I'd rather prefer having that good old option available.

That was a later Winamp feature I imagine... ;) and I don't encourage overlistening to single songs... albums on repeat are cool though. 1 Comment...
