It's been a tough year but I'll definitely be able to use that tip jar soon :).

Good stuff! I just stumbled across this on Facebook, watched a couple of your videos, and learned something. So I will keep watching and contributing - the tip jar on the website works pretty good.

I'd chip in $2/month through Patreon. It's such an easy way to handle things.

[JeffEmtman]

thanks for all the help over the years. I'd definitely toss you a couple bucks per month. If you don't, though, I'll use the tip jar.

[eyelessgrae]

$2-5/month? In addition to all of the MIR, I'd absolutely contribute. Keep it up, Jon!

You're missing the point on that Cubase question.
I'm trying to switch too. I don't need to learn how to mix. It's insulting to say that I don't know how to mix simply because I use Cubase. I'm feeling just as overwhelmed because I'm used to my presets and certain functions in Cubase, and I can't even FIND those features in Reaper, let alone try to use them. Like, how do I even click at 0:00? I can't get exactly to that spot, and if I click in a different spot and drag over (like I would in Cubase), Reaper selects a block of time instead of just going to 0:00. Shit like that is frustrating.

Is there a podcast instead of a video?
Thanks!

I would subscribe on a per episode basis, but the simple work I do means I do not often derive benefits. When I do, it is great, so maybe I should just use the tip jar.

...and Reaper has no Midi feedback so all the controllers with displays or LEDs dont responce in normal CC mode ...just in Mackie control and this sucks! I hope the Cockos
implement this soon. Ableton has this ...Studio One has this ... Cubase has this ...whasup reaper!!!

Is there a function or something on Reaper to record some "weird bars" songs, like 23/16, 18/16 that changes to 4/4 and return? I mean, aurally i can track, but visually would be a pain. Thanks =)
