I'm in the same boat, I was not going to buy it anymore for the first time since 2009 but then I saw the Plugin has play direct and instant generation and now a small Audiophile drive with FLAC (that I pushed for for so long) that Reaper can play direct also.

I thought the same thing about a video, they need to make more Plugin/Plugin Standalone videos showing the Plugin with in depth actions in all situations, song creation, adding tracks to studio recorded session etc.. (rather than just having 1 video release for the year)
The scripts work good if you work in Biab then transfer tracks to Reaper, Frozen tracks/sections will be transfered instantly, but if you start work in Reaper and use the Plugin then that's a great way to go. The issue now unless fixed soon, is the Plugin or Plugin Standalone won't load a Biab session with Frozen tracks, the Plugin Standalone has a Save/Load state but only loads in the Plugin Standalone but not Biab or Plugin, the track data seems to be saved in another part of the SGU.

It's soooo hard to get Biab users to understand the quantum leap that Reaper gives with Biab+scripts or Plugin+Reaper.
The scripts will allow you to work on different styles at the same time by moving tracks of a different style to new Tabs.
Scripts will allow you to change a track from DI to Normal or Normal to DI keeping the exact same riffs.
Scripts to generate all the reapeaks up so tracks load instantly.
Scripts to write the name of the RealTrack/RealDrums in the track name or as a take marker in the items, this can show where instruments change.
Reaper can use VideoRealTracks.
..........

All this I and still get a hard time here each time I mention that dirty word "REAPER" and scripts frown
They don't mind at all using ALL the features in Biab that I have suggested over the 16 years and shown with working demos using Reaper, they don't seem to mind at all, but mention Reaper or scripts, bang straight over their head !
Whats that about ignorance and condemnation before investigation ?
