    No dude, mine wasnt it was disabled. When i first started using Reaper it was much annoying for first two days, then i figured out that FX could be drag dropped like other DAWs. Switched the shortcut Shift+F to toolbar from FX browser vice versa, and never looked back.

    FX browser filter options:

    fx browser filter option.jpg

    U can click the option tab above or just right click below the pane which brings this menu which is just both menus combined:

    They do what is just said there.
    1. Always search bla bla.. Searches all the FX regardless which section is selected, like for ex. developers or such.
    2. Auto clear folder change - clears the search field when different folder or section is selscted.
    3. Auto clear on close.. clears the search field when FX browser is closed, when unchecked just leaves the field with whatever u typed.
    4. Auto clear on blah bla blew blew... selecting it just forgets or resets selected the folder or section u previously selected as soon as browser is closed.

    Midi Event Editor:
    Original post by sockmonkey72 on cockos forum: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=273633

    Here's a "one-line" MIDI event editor, with the following features:
    • Direct editing of time and value parameters of note and CC (+pitch+at) events
    • Quickly switch between note and CC 'focus' using a pop-up menu
    • Relative setting of parameters (using '+', '-', '*', '/' operators)
    • Range scaling operator ('.') to remap values
    • Full-selection operations for position and duration (offset and scale all selected events in time)
    • Note overlap protection when nudging or resizing notes (to avoid weird REAPER effects) [optional]
    • Support for bars.beats.ticks or bars.beats.percent time format
    • Mouse scrollwheel value modification (including multiple-value selections)
    • Compact, fast and simple
    • Requires ReaImGui

    Would it be possible to make a reaper script that Renders a track inside the project and inserts the render into a new Take Lane on the same track?

    Kinda like 'Bounce In Place' from Logic, etc.

    i think the guy was saying he wants it to go into a new take on the same track, freeze makes a new track and mutes the old one. not sure how big a problem that is, but slightly different than what i'm thinking of anyway.

    Yeah, it's cause I'm mixing like a raw punk band session, so there will be continuity in the sound for the whole project so I want to keep them in 1 project... But the mics got moved during tracking the drums apparently so my thought was to use AutoAlign and Time Adjustment Delay (and my ears of course) to get the phase right per song and render them as new takes so I can always step back if I hear something that needs to be adjusted later. For the time being I came up with an alternative solution lol

    https://github.com/ReaTeam/ReaScripts/blob/master/Rendering/rodilab_Render whole items in new take.lua

    hey i didnt check this out but description is exactly what you're looking for i think. it says "render whole items as new take" i render a ton of stuff, and am OCD about not losing anything (so i can go back like you want to be able to) basically what i do is not freeze the tracks but just render them into a new track, then i'll open up the old one that's muted, put any VSTS in offline and then take off the screen visually using the track manager. so it's not clogging up extra space... or sometimes i skip that and my projects are ugly.

    Fill Mode for Color brightness:

    If ur media item colors are too bright or too dull, u can adjust the brightness of the item background, open "theme Tweaker" from action and search for fill mode. Click on 'Media Item background fill mode' and try different options like Normal, add, overlay, multiply etc. amd try different Alpha values, as seen below.

    fill mode.jpg

    (Imp) And save the theme in increment or rename/save theme with a different name. So u wont loose the original theme and get back when u want.
    U can even try other fill modes, like for time selection etc.

    Download Buss Driver today and take a route on the wild side.

    Import MonkeyBars's ReaPack repo from Github here.

    Buss Driver requires SWS Extension and js_ReaScript_API.

    Reaper's Routing Matrix a bit thorny for you?
    Buss Driver is a user-friendly utility that lets you add as many send or receives as you want to as many tracks as you select,
    or remove specific sends or receives, to/from target tracks you select in the Buss Driver dialog window.

    Want to create dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of sends or receives all in one go?

    DRIVE THAT BUSS.

    [​IMG]


    Want your new routing to have sophisticated settings applied to it?

    DRIVE THAT BUSS.

    [​IMG]



    Want to save your Buss Driver routing choices & settings so you can create similar ones on the next action?

    DRIVE THAT BUSS.

    [​IMG]



    Want to remove the same routing from a zillion tracks at once?

    DRIVE THAT BUSS.

    [​IMG]

    Buss Driver script guide
    1. Run the script to open the Buss Driver dialog.
    2. Select whether you want to add/remove, and what type of routing, sends or receives.
    3. Select the target tracks you'll send to or receive from.
    4. Optional if adding: Open up the routing settings popup and set any of the standard settings laid out in familiar form like the native routing dialog.
    5. Submit and you're done!

    AS of V 7.12 this option works no more as mentioned already. They might have realized its pointless.
