Reaper 5.03 update is out.

Thanks Dan,
 
Lightning fast updates and fixes for so many issues. Have my new license ($60) for ver 5 thru 6.99.
 
Only problem I have as a bottom feeder, is I can't understand anything that is being fixed.
 
Brilliant and beautiful program. Solid as a rock.
 
Trajectory seems to be for minds or understanding way more evolved than mine. I can read through the last hundred fixes and not comprehend what one of them means. Must be good though from the feedback, and the guys giving feedback are about demi gods in the programming realm. It keeps getting better and better, just nothing yet that I can apply in my dense real world.
 
Notation for midi up the line and improving video support.

Right Larry,
 
The Rea plugins were so GUI challenged, many of the programmers came up with slick and beautiful faces almost as an apologetics for how they represented graphically. Slick GUI's available for some of the js plugs among the resources on their web page. Did nothing for the function of the plug, but presented it in a hi class lipstick that gave it credibility to the mind of those needing an elegant interface. Me affected as well. If it is that great, needs to look great.
 
For reference only as far as plugin formats, we got what...  Vst, ax, dx, rtas, whatever else out there.
 
Reaper devs did a beautiful offbeat approach, though many damn them to the brimstone pit (and have already) for **** with that which is philosophically off limits.
 
They wondered, what if Jesus were reincarnated today, and was a rock musician. He blundered into Reaper to record some church music. What would he go to for effects plugins.
 
Thus the vast expanse of native *js plugs included in Reaper. Jesussonic.
 
Not compatible with any other DAW, but there native in Reaper. So many of them. The ReaPlugs you mention are a vst translation of the *js natives (correct me if wrong). Butt ugly, but the guts are there. All are not gems, so you have to sort through them. If you are a programmer, the js plugs can be opened in a notepad editor and tweaked to your specs. Can't do this with a vst.

wow- all this praise for a daw- as I may have said before, I will have to get around to checking it out

Reaper is in ninth place for me and maybe can go even higher if they sort their c__p out.
 
edit: forgot about Nuendo. Reaper is tenth.

Reaper has come a long way. I've tried it out at various times and this is the first time i can honestly say it looks like a workable option for me. In fact if the upcoming notation editor (expected in 5.1 or 5.2) is workable, I'll jump. In fact looking at a combination of FL Studio /Reaper as my next DAW. (The PRV view in Reaper is the weak link, whereas FLS' is the best i have seen in any DAW (ymmv of course).
I am not one to bounce from daw to daw as i get comfortable with a workflow. Reaper still has it's flaws but they're quickly addressing them.
