So I went back to my old buddy "re.....r" today, guess what?

I missed X1 terribly! LOL

I've gotten so used to this workflow, things docking, uncluttered, etc that reaper drove me nuts!. Biggest thing? Windows! OMgoodness I've got so used to dnd'ing my plug in windows to the dock. Yes, you can dock stuff in the reap but it's nowhere near the same.

As many others have stated, if we can get past the bugs and some of the "wtbeep"s.... I smell muffins!

    Well, this forum is a tad bit cleaner than a couple others "kvr cough" so I do really try to keep it a bit less rough.

    OMG you went back to the reefer?   ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

    I bet that was a mind-altering experience.

    Anyway, welcome back! Glad you made it back here with all senses fully operational.

    Oh, I love reaper. They are teh bestest in many ways....

    It's just that x1 really DOES change everything. It's the most sexy, intuitive, "pick me" thing I've tried in quite some time. It was ICKY going back to all those windows and clutter (though it's still such a great program) Yes, stuff is dockable, but not in the efficient/clean/drag-drop way X1 is. (and no, I'm not touching 4 yet!!!!!)

    I'm almost done with the groove3 vids and almost everything works (too bad about that darn audio snap....grrrrrrr)

    One other thing too, I've basically gone to a single monitor thing in X1.......why do you need two LOL! It's nearly painless to use one monitor with X1. Reefer (lol to that btw!) NEEDS two monitors. For crying out loud, the bakers really have put some effort into this. It's really revolutionary in many ways.

    Now, about those bugs.....is the xmas/new years break over yet???????

    Same here Chris..

    I even got 4.0. alpha and I don´t see a big difference for now..

    The only thing I really enjoy in reaper is prelistening in the mediabrowser..

    other than that.....
    SONAR is sexy!

    Speaking of how Sexy Sonar is; has anyone seen the cover of the latest Computer Music issue? Now that makes Sonar sexy!



    Pretty positive review too by the way...

    It is true it does sound better. Everything comes out sounding just like a finished radio ready mix.

    That's a neat cover, and will give X1 a nice boost.  Maybe you could post that as a separate thread so more people can see it.  I'd do it, but it's your find.  Thanks for posting it.

    wow, you think KVR is rough???  Have you been by GS ? It got so nasty there in their Ch type forum Jules shut that one down . Heck, I got punked over on the keyboardmag forum but an equivalent of one of our platinum members.

    But I do understand what you are saying , and appreciate your demeanor . one less vitriol rant here helps ..
