Convert all automations to automation items, that's a time saver ! :)

Thanks Jon for making these. I think I'll make toolbar of my favorite FX and FX chain

[skeletonrowdie]

nice! the FX shortcuts will be awesome

[lordgeyik]

FX shortcuts is indeed a big improvement! No need to juggle with S&M Resources window for this any more.

This update took so many features from ImageLine's Fl Studio. Reaper is getting smarter and smarter!

[eclipse]

It will be great improvement if Theme tweak window will have search button. :)

Does Reaper have a built-in media library? (Shown at 1:46) How do I access that?

[inarisound]

Great update! I wish they will do something with MIDI.... specifically "smart and you know what.... I don't even know what I want x'D that's the sad part.... because I opened up Ableton 10 and it's just more comfortable to work with midi there... and I can't explain why.... Reaper dose have all the features but somehow Ableton is so much more fun to work with when it comes down to Midi composing Mixing & SFX hands down Repaer but composing with midi =\

quick q: where can we increase the amount of fx that can be added via shortcut or action? Seems like i maxed out my slots for this action and I can't find the right ".ini" to increase the number. hope you know that and can help out :)
Thanks

What is icc18 in your Reaper version number?

[octopusonfire]

I guess you can select several tracks and insert an FX on all of them at once via shortcut now? That'd be really cool

[AiltinhoBrasil]

O vídeo de vocês é visto no Brasil inteiro, então porque você não coloca legendado ?
Ajudaria muito, fica a dica aí .

[MichelBarbaro]

Wow! I cannot find anywhere how to enable this "guidelines in arrange view"!

[minusus]

isthere a way in pianoroll to just press a key under cursor to write notes instead of having to click, and slide a tad? id like to just roll my control surface wheel, and press a button for faster writing of notes, it makes me angry when i have no idea if theres already somethin im just not seing. .. please its annoying

[stuartbradley]

I'm thinking 'Add FX Toolbar' ...
