* no build-in "PlayTime" (which is fine to play loops, but too "hacky" to use in parallel with time based project) * no default reasonably working slicer, no use of ACID slice info from WAVs, manual stretch markers are not loops friendly (not rollable with loops) * no project pitch markers (no auto pitching inserted/existing loops) For example I put Reaper at the very end of my check list after reading these posts.Ībout "loops" in Reaper. Not sure you understand, these posts could turn off some people from Reaper. It is not Reaper related, just the style which you have used. NO SINGLE POST FROM ME was ever deleted (except automatic spam protection which sometimes behave strange, but lengthy posts could be resurrected PMing I do not remember what was 6 years ago, but your posts at the time of CW crash for some people was looking not good. Also I have written many comparisons with Reaper recently. I have written many complains about Sonar there, from constructive up to rather harsh, written at the moment of total frustration. Amazing what a sense of humor can accomplish in a place like this. There's more "investment" here IMO - the users are much more part of the journey, and it's extremely helpful that Justin and Schwa chime in regularly and even show a sense of humor. I think Reaper's forum is actually an anomaly - the users here are all over the map, very opinionated, but usually pretty reasonable and helpful, some extremely experienced who go the extra mile, and it's very self-regulating and stable. Whether or not it is a good thing they do that, I'd say they could improve, but I understand every mod is trying to strike a balance. There is no presumption of "freedom of speech" in a private forum like that. Works fine.Īnd Cakewalk does have the right to ban anyone they want, of course, for whatever reason. The one that surprised me recently was the German Presonus forum (where the American mods aren't supervising with their overly politically correct attitude) and you'll see some real harsh words come up sometimes, but in the end, they try to get along without having to censure each other. It's fascinating how there's a different dynamic in each one. I'd say the Cakewalk forum is about average in my experience across other DAWs - Pro Tools, Cubase, Live, Presonus, etc. Generally, though, I've seen them deal a pretty even hand if people express a dissenting POV with respect and without personal insults. I've also seen plenty of dissent and negativity over there too, over the years. The Cakewalk forum has had its ups and downs about how thin skinned they can be, for sure. The last thing I posted before having my account nuked was some comparisons about the audio engine between them, and how Reaper seemed to be able to take a lot more before dropping out. The thin skinned mods banned me about five or six years ago for commenting on my first hand experiences using both Sonar and Reaper. I could use that additional track selection panel from within editor, but why, if I have all my tracks to the left of the piano roll window anyway? It's stuff like this that makes me shake my head. So now piano roll still opens up first item on the clicked track. Some stuff is not possible at all: just the other day i wanted to create mouse modifier for doublecliking track - while piano roll is open, by double clicking on a track i wanted an action to select an item under edit cursor on that track and then move cursor to the beginning of that item, but i could not find an action that would select item on selected track under edit cursor. It's little annoyances like that that add up like noise. Same tab button press action wont work in midi editor instantly after opening it up, cause first you got to cycle trough ui. As an example, using tab to switch between midi notes in sequencer - once you at the end of the item, it wont switch automatically to next item! So go to either use another action or mouse. I had plenty of those ready to go, but in my experience I had to always correct their results manually. Sure, some combinations of actions do things quickly, most of them wont thou. Once you use properly coded plugins that don't do weird shit just because they think they can, it's golden. Once you're in custom action territory it's game over for most other DAWs. There's plenty of things you can do in Reaper in a single action that many other DAWs couldn't even begin to think how to do.
