Oh, the shame

After seeing all the talk about Reaper I decided to check it out.
Reaper not only has PDU (ADC) to PT but page 87 of the user guide shows external hardware automatic delay detection and compensation.

...even a ping for your hardware, something HD doesn't even have. These days even a multi track iPhone app has ADC. We're way past the point of shame and embarrassment if you ask me, especially passing the first decade of this top feature request. 10.5 years and counting.

As a side note, I'm in the middle of setting up a template for those who want to "sandbox" there VI's using REAPER via ReWire into Pro Tools. Keeping the template bare bones with out going overboard is the hard part.

This is important work Shane, and those of us following this are very appreciative.

So Shan, you haven't kicked out the girlfriend after all? I thought I had detected a new commitment in you to the old ball and chain.

I still use PT. Reaper has a few more things I would personally need in the editing department, which I know will come at some point(and it wont take 10+ years!). It's my, "in case the Titanic hits the bottom" escape plan. I'm trapped in an air pocket for now. I still have my eye on that "younger girl friend" though. I know she's waiting with all that new fresh young code.

All humor aside, I do enjoy both apps. The recent direction of PT the past year and a half has definitely put me on alert with some doubt though, which never use to be the case.

As a side note Top Jimmy, it's nice to see you active sharing your knowledge with the users here in this part of the forum.

I know exactly what you mean. Having been in the bureaucratic environment that exists in such an organization, I too can recognize the signs. Once feeding on the young begins, it's only a matter of time before extinction. I do believe PT can still be rejuvenated, but it'll take a serious visionary with the stones to do it.

Thanks for the attaboy. I take that as a high compliment from you. It's funny how taking just a few moments to type out a couple of lines can make my day feel like a success.

As an aside, are you associated with any of the people to have come out of LMSS?

Same. Let's see what comes to being in 2010.

By the time I got my foot in the door of Little Mountain, it's hey day was over and it was nothing but a rehearsal studio. As far as where everyone went, I have done work in Fairbairn's Armoury, Adam's Warhouse, and many others. Little Mountain owned the 80's...then it all moved to "Seattle".

I've been fortunate enough to know and work with Bob Brooks for the past 10 years. Once you know the man, it's easy to understand how the conditions existed that allowed what happened to happen. He's one of the rare breed that doesn't put artificial limits on things.

hey guys.

im seriously considering going to the darkside. just wondering if i can customize reaper to operate close to PT?

EDIT: since im here. should i go for the 4gb to 8gb upgrade(ddr2 1066)? is it worth it? i just switched to 64 bit.
