Re: Reaper 6 Is Here!!
I saw the notification to update, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. The updates seem pretty incremental, and my license expires at the end of version 5, so I'm in no hurry. I am curious how the new theme looks though. Is it any different, or just a superficial makeup job?

Ive been waiting to jump on six. Im still on 4
Re: Reaper 6 Is Here!!
Haha that same article just popped up in my google feed, and I have to say that I'm impressed by the embedded plugin display. I have ReaEQ on pretty much every track, so that'll be a great improvement for me. And I've started using more complex routings (sidechains and sends) so the graphical router seems cool.
I might just pick it up over the weekend after seeing that.

I downloaded it and paid for a new license two days ago. My review - it's the same as Reaper always is. I still use skin from version 3 and I never notice any of the updates even though I do every single update as soon as it pops up. To me, all of this is good. I don't want my shit changing with every update. Version 6 might as well be version 1.

Re: Reaper 6 Is Here!!
I am a big fan of the fact they make it look like older versions. I thinki have reaper four and also have it tailored to look like 3 maybe. It's clever really that they give the user to take the new and make it look old. Maybe a lot of daw's do that who knows?Greg_L wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 7:33 am I downloaded it and paid for a new license two days ago. My review - it's the same as Reaper always is.

I was reading some reviews and there are some lame ducks out there that are thumbing their nose at it because "it looks like 1996" Who cares what it looks like? I don't?! I have also had mild debates on twitter a while ago with someone who tried to convert to reaper from ... Cubase maybe? and her biggest issues was that 'it looks old and boring'. I tapped out of the convo at that point.
To be fair to that person, unlike us their job is 100% in front of a daw all day long. Maybe for someone like that they might want something a little more fun? Maybe? But all the hobby / bedroom basement guys bitching that it looks like windows 98 should get a grip and focus on whats in the box rather than how pretty and cute the box is.

So can I make the new theme with its fancy features look like my v2 theme?
Re: Reaper 6 Is Here!!
I think people get too hung up on the appearance of plugs and DAWs and shit. I'm like...who fucking cares? As long as it works and I can find my way around, I don't care if it looks like Windows 95. You can go to Cockos and download any of the ten trillion billion million user created themes if one wants.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 12:06 pm

But to contradict myself, I like "theme 3.0" because it's dark. I like dark screens and shades of grays. I don't like staring at bright colors or white backgrounds. Theme 3.0 has worked for me for around ten years.

Re: Reaper 6 Is Here!!
Reaper is so customizable that you must be able to save a theme you like from a previous version and just import it into newer ones. Has to be a way to that right. Like wasn't [mention]Minerman[/mention] working on an reaper theme that was Marshall inspired? Like wouldn't all that have ot be saved somewhere as a like a MinersMarhsallTheme.reaperthemeextsnionlibrary file or something?vomitHatSteve wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 12:49 pmShoot yeah!

Re: Reaper 6 Is Here!!
Miner made his own theme, complete with images and all sorts of shit. It's pretty wild.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 1:58 pm

Re: Reaper 6 Is Here!!
I just updated my license for v6!
I think the reason that v6 looks the same for most of us is beacuse if you're using a custom theme from your earlier version, it retains that. If you change the theme to "default", it'll now look like the new v6 theme.
I actually kinda like it. I've been using this one from Janne from 2015 that I've come to love. But I might give the v6 theme a try for a while to see if it wins my favor.

unboxing? installing video? What would you call that ? First Look ?
Re: Reaper 6 Is Here!!
Haha! It'd be my shortest video ever. I think the install took about 3 seconds I could actually use some shorter videos on my channel...but maybe that'd be too short!WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 3:00 pm you gonna do a reaper 6 unboxing video?

Re: Reaper 6 Is Here!!
Anyone had any issues with 6 yet. I might pull the trigger on this this week sometime. I am still on windows 7 however. I should consider upgrading to windows 10.
[mention]Tadpui[/mention] If i were to provide you with the specs of my DAW machine would be able to tell me if if i will suffer any performance loss. I just rebuilt this sucker after i moved into my house like maybe 2104 or 2015? I want to say that i will probably feel the upgrade but maybe not. Let me know if you'd have time to give it a once over.

Re: Reaper 6 Is Here!!
Sure, fire away. Most likely it'll be fine if it's as recent of a machine as 2014/2015. But let me know.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Mon Dec 30, 2019 8:19 pm Anyone had any issues with 6 yet.

Is it no longer 60 bucks?
Re: Reaper 6 Is Here!!
My ver 6 license was $64.95.
Last time I bought a license was ver 4....like 5 years ago maybe? I think the renewal skips every other version?
