db..

thanks for the info.
i agree with rob re useing also the reaper forum.

fyi ive used reaps since v0.99 and was not only an early requestor of many featues but also pilloried by variou big studios for saying 'reaps will be big disruptor worldwide'. reason being years back i was so extremely frustrated with music apps i was very close to doing a daw becausei knew soo many hot shot programmers as i worked in tech.

ie frustration often is a reason for new products.

in those early reaps days i also used pg powertracks cos ptw was vrry strong in midi....then later i went to bb and rb complementing reaps.
frankly for me these days i use reaps less and less...basically useing it for fancy audio editing tricks ive developed over the years with it.
due to advances in bb and rb features i mainly work in such....cos they meet my music production needs.

over the years of course and yes reaps is a fab product it has gained a huge user base as i predicted. and also added lots of midi and other great features...so i do get your position....includeing its inter track features. But prolly your needs are different than i re midi.
for example i keep it simple in rb. i just duplicate a midi track in rb...
and set its plugin settings different.

i remain loyal to rb because of the plethora of many ways to generate session musician audio and midi tracks on a ton of rb tracks.
now rb has 256 tracks.
And yes sometimes i drop a rb generated track into reaps so i can use aforementioned editing tricks.
i also like many other tricks i can use eg generating drum solos in rb and lots of other features mentioned in the rb manual.

fyi ive done over 90 songs useing the plusses of each of the rb/bb/reaps combo.

btw...re your pc ...you might find my tips in the tips forum usefull re acquiring or useing an existing pc for music production...give them a read sometime.
fyi i just bought a new mini ryzen pc costing peanuts...and its superb.
rb reports i can get over 200 tracks with it plus it boots into win from cold and rb or bb in just a few secs.

happiness.
