Reaper version 7 has arrived...
Reaper version 7 has arrived...
... just when I didn't want it to.
I've been ignoring updates for a few months but was thinking only this morning, seeing it was up to 6.83, that I should upgrade before it ticks over to 7.
Too late!
If I upgrade to 7 my licence will have to be renewed - and fine with that - just not right at this exact minute.
Anyway, I found the download page for previous versions, in case you're in a similar boat.

Re: Reaper version 7 has arrived...
Ooh, I wonder what they added to justify making it v7? I'll have to check it out. V6 was a bit of a disappointment, being mainly a graphical update that I mainly hit the undo button on. But they've gotta pay the devs for the constant updates somehow. And I guess I'm happy to do it. I mean, I keep getting paid for my dev work so I can't complain.
Re: Reaper version 7 has arrived...
I haven't noticed much at all in v6 - that I actually use anyway.
My main thing with upgrading is not to be the test dummy - I like upgrades to be in the market for months before I do them. Reaper have been pretty good over the years but it's still a "thing" I have, if possible. Don't be an early adopter...

Re: Reaper version 7 has arrived...
The only thing I want to upgrade to is Razor Edits to make PreFx Vol automation easier. then again it may be in my current version but I've not noticed it.

Re: Reaper version 7 has arrived...
I use Reaper at about .05% of it's capability so as long as it still records and mixes I'm good with whatever they update. I've never in my life needed it to do something it couldn't already do. All of the updates are lost on me.
What I hate is changing the appearance. I'm still using version 2 theme I believe.

Re: Reaper version 7 has arrived...
Got you beat: I can't recall any instances of seeing a Reaper update list and saying "oh! I was waiting for that feature"
But I do know that I eventually stumbled upon features that I love that came with updates since my second purchase.

I found how to Razor Edit in the 6s so I don't need to update.

Re: Reaper version 7 has arrived...
It's only as a result of your post that I even knew it existed!
I watched Kenny G's video on it yesterday - I'm not sure I've yet seen a use for it, but at least I know it's there now.
What do you use it for?
Re: Reaper version 7 has arrived...
It's REALLY good for PreFX Volume automation to address sibilant & plosive stuff. It requires high magnification/zoom with or without it. It reduces the key strokes to put in the usual four points to just hold down Alt & the right click button while dragging. WAY faster though it'll take a little getting used to. I found it yesterday and tried it last night - for me it's a win as I do a lot of that sort of automation editing. BUT you need to have the automation in it's own lane - I usually have them in the media lane.

I just did my Reaper 7 upgrade and everything seems the same and I didn't need to renew my license.

Re: Reaper version 7 has arrived...
Good deal. The license carries through 2 major revisions, so it sounds like you paid for your last license with version 5. I honestly don't remember when I paid for my last license (I think I'm on my 3rd one) so I might have to pay to upgrade. Hopefully I'll remember to do that this weekend and see how it goes. I think it's still $60 or $65. I can't get my current version to tell me if I need to pay or not.
Re: Reaper version 7 has arrived...
There's an obscure file somewhere in the Reaper folder that tells you the extent of your licence when opened up in a text editor. I had to google it to find out how. The program won't do it, which is a bit dumb. Perhaps that could be a future enhancement...Tadpui wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 8:31 pmGood deal.

I'll have to buy a new licence - I must have started at 3 and got 4, then 5 and 6, so time to pony up for 7. Except not now. When I'm done on this project.

I found my license file and apparently it's for versions 6 and 7, so no payment needed this time.

My Saturday plans got snowed out, so maybe I'll update tomorrow and play around with the new features. That, and I just got Cities:Skylines 2 so I think my first snow day of the season is pretty well spoken for
Re: Reaper version 7 has arrived...
The comping & take updates look pretty useful for a droob like me. I'll have to update.

Re: Reaper version 7 has arrived...
The look of my Reaper hasn't changed since I started using the Imperial Theme. I always update it but have no idea what actually changes, really. It all works the way I like it. I just assume there's stuff in the background that makes everything better.

I've long forgotten what the orginal Reaper Theme looks like.
I've been using the Imperial Theme since 2009. The linked one is an updated version of the original. It looks nice with my Tascam controller.
