Question:
What's the (theoretical) maximum length (in time) of Reaper projects?

Due to the use of double-precision floating point for timing in many places, I imagine things would start breaking in significant ways at 2^53 samples, which at 48khz would be more than 5,000 years. Wow 2^53 is really big.

Indeed. Wouldn't have guessed *that* long.

I once tried and Reaper crashed when the project was around 60+ years long. But don't know if you have expanded it in the meantime...

entirely possible it's still limited to 60 years, or even a month, heh.

I was theorizing but there might be other limits I'm not thinking about.
