I'll get round to it in the new year...not doing a lot of recording at the moment (in fact, Reaper's no more than a glorified VST host for me right now).
Loving that integrated EQ thing!
Something I've seen on Pro Tools that possibly isn't very useful but is pretty cool looking is that the mixer has a total gain reduction meter from all compressor plugins on the track. Any idea if Reaper 6 has something like that?
Also, they support Linux natively, which is hella cool for me.
Valhalla is another company that I love for its honest pricing of high quality software.
Any normal reservations about being an early adopter didn't really bother me--it takes seconds to DL and install, so would be a simple thing to downgrade anyway.
There was a definite performance upgrade, and at first I didn't notice much difference between my old install and the new-I use Commala 5 as a skin, and 6 has built in script for customisation.
I did the upgrade on my main machine-2009 MBP, I5,16g ram, running off SSD, and was reassured that I will continue to love Reapers awesomeness, so just for kicks I did the upgrade to my B rig, which is a lower spec Asus Zenbook PC with a fixed 4g ram, also running off SSD and with an I7, only has an 11 inch screen, so the new 6 default theme works very well there, it moves some buttons around, which will take a bit of getting used to, but looks great so far.
One thing I do like, is the new wiring view, which is brilliant. helps to see how stuff is routed, and is great for getting into some of the projects that are unfamiliar-Slate and PLP projects. I only wish I could find a way to PRINT a copy for my records, I'm sure I will find a way.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find the license I already have is valid up to 7.99, so 2 full versions--very generous.
Im already usign a customer skin though so didnt see any of the other new goodies.
To be fair I abandoned cubase at SX so I assume they've fixed that
