YES! @Reaper give this guy a job in your marketing division or make a position simply entitled "Ideas Guy" a.s.a.p. Missing out on the little things like that is like missing out on a chance to make a good thing great. It's the tiniest of differences that can separate another 'great' product from an Unforgettable one and I guarantee everyone who reads this will forever think of them as Reapositories! Lol

Some of the JS stuff is pretty great but it's easy to get lost in how many plugins are available. Also the lack of decent GUI on them makes them not enjoyable to use. That said, some of the tools and scripts are ridiculously powerful and it's awesome that people spend so much time to create these things to just give them away for free.

@alexeypolevoybass 4 жыл бұрын

The only thing that matters is the sound you get. I love mixing with airwindows plugins, and I don't give a flying fuck they don't have their own GUIs. As long as I get the sound I am after, I'm satisfied.

@jacobsmith1877 4 жыл бұрын

Mtaalas valid point, but making music and recording is my hobby, not my profession, so I want to enjoy my time. It is far more enjoyable for me to use a thoughtfully laid out GUI than the sliders of the JS plugins. It's cool that Glenn uses them for their simple utility, but I already have enough tools from professionally developed plugins to get the job done. Where Reaper becomes amazing to me are some of the custom actions I can develop and also the processing scripts and theming that allow me to really enjoy working on music.

Glenn!!!! I'm mixing a band that recorded in the studio and everything was live. All amps in separate rooms and everyone in with the drums. There are clean and distorted parts and I don't know which direction to go. Should I us animation to control the fx and volume, or should I split the section and give the clean a separate track than the distorted? I can't run the same mix bus on both clean and distorted parts? I'm saving new file and going to experiment but what would you do in this situation? If I can ever learn to make a decent mix I'll see you over on distrokid.
