First of all I use reaper and ableton. Using Ableton more these days just because I like the clip / song arranger theory.

Maybe its just me,

But there's always a post a mile long on what changes and fixes they make to reaper.
To me I cant tell the difference in the program from a year ago and now, Either Reaper is very complicated and hard to use because all the hidden menus and cryptic setup files (some call it feature packed) or these updates don't matter to the average user.

What I'm reading so far is the only big feature in 5.0 is vst3.

I'm not knocking reaper... because I like it.. Just wondering why other programs don't have these change logs a mile long.
Is there really that many problems and issues on a weekly basis with this program. Do they "fix" one thing and break 5 others?

I'm just a little annoyed that there is no real forward progress with this daw. It is great as it is but I would like to see more.

I know they added a take manager but ffs why not write a interface for it to make it easier and not have to use 4 menus and configs all over. That's one example.

Maybe its just me that ponders these things. Its a great program and I wish the best for the future. Flame away

 

Voo, there is a lot of new features, fixes and enhancements for envelopes, automation, video, GUI.
A lot of new APIs and blah-blah scripts stuff - i don't use them.
As well as more changes for MIDI, editing, arranging etc. etc.
The headline here is VST3. Other - scripts, performance, stability, new "deep" features, extending old features, improvements, fixes.

why other programs don't have these change logs a mile long - maybe they just good? or vice versa nobody pays attention on small features, their performance? maybe they just don't like long changelogs and just write "minor bugs fixed, a lot of small enhancements"? We don't know. All DAWs are different. Pay attention on ProTools 12 new features - working with Internet support, music publications on sites, advertisments or something like that...Hundreds of new shit features. They just don't know what else to do.
Logic Pro has similar changelogs
