Reaper tips

The new version 4.62 is out, and there are some small but cool new things. The first is a new ruler mode, Beats Minimal. Here it is. I think it's my new favorite, simple and easy to read.

Another new thing in 4.62 is the ability to auto position FX when opened. Here's the old way it worked. It just cascades everything on top of each other. Here's the new way. A bit nicer and more intelligent.

Another new 4.62 feature is a MIDI editor action to quickly access recently used note name files. First you set up a button, then you click on it! Pretty damn handy.

Sorry if you've talked about this but do you know if it's possible to do velocity envelopes for MIDI items? Or anything similar...

A volume envelope won't work for what I'm trying to do btw.

Afraid not. I eagerly await the day when that is possible.

Well this is an olde thread. Something I was thinking about on the drive to work this morning, namely that I don't like the typical method of MIDI humanization from the MIDI editor, because it bakes in the changes. What happens if you want to revert to the pre-humanized MIDI item? Well yer kinda screwed, unless you kept a backup of it somewhere. But that's messy. A way I prefer is to use the schwa/midi_humanizer plugin that comes with Reaper. That way you can have it humanized non-destructively in real time. Another benefit is it allows you to freely adjust the level of humanization. Give it a try, load it up and change the following parameters.

btw I can't update the first post anymore, it be giving me an Internal Server Error message.
