Version 4.11 Changelog

A day late, maybe, but worth the wait

  • MIDI editor:
    • fixed triplet/dotted grid display when zoomed out
    • vertical drag of bank/program select event scrolls through programs in that bank

    • allow sweep-editing program change and bank select messages just like any other CC
    • allow editing velocity for notes that start slightly before the visible edge of the media item
    • fixed conflict with some combinations of mouse modifiers for scrub and insert notes
    • fixed set time selection to notes in list editor
    • reduced flicker after selection change in list editor
    • improved undo messages for some actions, fixed zoom one loop interation action
  • MIDI recording:
    • better support for disabling latency compensation
    • recording to end of loop extends events to end regardless of latency compensation
    • in overdub/replace recording, auto input monitoring controls whether notes are monitored outside of punch regions
    • improved note tracking for looped record-input mode
    • added latch-replace recording mode
    • minor reorganization of track record menu
    • in overdub/replace, do not display recorded item until MIDI input is detected, unless recording starts at the start of the loop selection
    • better handling of time selection punches (do not extend items outside of the punch area)
    • monitoring of MIDI in overdub/replace matches punch behavior in other modes
  • OSX:
    • fixed dropping media files onto TCP
    • fixed custom actions dialog issue

    • improved QuickTime audio decoding compatibility on Windows
    • experimental support for QuickTime decoding on OSX64 and Win64 via bridge
  • JS:
    • fixed IX/MIDI_Tool to not fudge timings
    • now supports << and >> (bitwise shift) operators — note parameters are converted to integer so 3.4 << 2 == 12, etc
  • Media items:
    • option to show a volume knob, rather than dragging the top edge of the item
    • optionally display item/take gain alongside pitch and playrate
    • better behavior when doubleclicking item buttons, other things
  • MIDI:
    • fixed sending of excess pitch/note/cc resets on loop
    • never pool MIDI source data when duplicating takes within the same media item
    • display MIDI notes while recording in regular track input mode
  • Pre-roll:
    • MIDI note tracking (notes held in preroll are played/recorded at the record time)
    • disabled looping while in preroll
  • Theme:
    • various list/tree windows can now have their colors configured, separate theme elements for MIDI list editor
    • new (themable) appearance of project bay and screenset tabs

    • corrected speaker arrangement notification for 64 channel plug-ins
    • fix for large channel counts on Win32 (compiler bug)

    Call me perplexed: I am helping a friend build a small home studio with Reaper on a desktop, an audio interface (mic input) mixer, headphone(s) mixer, and a pair of powered speakers.

    What I’d like to learn is if I can keep the playback powered speakers on (which is in the same room as the microphones), and while recording an overdub, is there a toggle switch (or preference pane) that can mute the speakers (to avoid feedback) once I arm the overdub track and begin to record?

    Thanks, in advance, for your assistance!

      Hi Don
      Try one of the overdub recording modes – Time selection autopunch or autopunch selected items. You can find these at the top of the options menu.

      I like Time Selection Auto punch. First make a selection over the part you want to replace, then click the cursor a few bars earlier in the time ruler. Press record, play along it will automatically start and end recording at the time selection, and actually record from the point you pressed record so it’s very easy to move things around and make a clean edit.
      You can also use this along with Loop / Repeat playback and it will record in layers (takes) for your time selection.

      I’m not sure if that’s what you are asking for but that is how I record overdubs. Hope it helps. ~Jon~

    Love Reaper for audiobook production because of the ability to do Punch and Roll. What I dislike is that every time I punch something in, it creates a new lane in the same track. After doing this about 10 times, the waveform becomes too small to work with in what become very tiny lanes. Have a missed a setting that would alleviate this?

      yes, just disable the option for “Show all takes in lanes”. Only the most recent take will be shown. Use right-click menu or hotkeys or custom toolbar for cycling through the takes. Going further with this you could use the “Crop to selected takes” option which removes all unused takes, but doesn’t delete the files from the drive of course.
