Reaper Live

This thread is an offshoot of another thread as it was veering off topic.

I've had a few people pm me and ask me for the Reaper Theme that I created and use on my mix racks so I have uploaded it Here

If anyone has any questions, it's probably best to keep them in this thread as I'm sure it gets annoying to others if it continues to pop up in SAC threads.

I'll be updating the theme above to include a monitor mix layout as well, so far it looks like this:

You can use this layout in one of two ways, either on it's own mixer (add a project tab) or as a channel layout in your existing FOH console.

I'm not good with themeing, but would it be possible to have a different color for just one send? I am making a send that I am using as a 'solo' bus, and it would be wonderful to have it a different color than the monitor mixes. And as soon as I figure out how to control sends using OSC from a remote, I am golden!

Bummer...reaper just won't handle the load I am throwing at it. I am getting clicks and pops. Its fine until I added my monitor mixes. Oh well...I'll just keep using SAC for now.

Bear in mind that despite Reaper's claimed multi-core support, if you're using it for low latency live work you'll get better results if you restrict it to one CPU, and disable hyperthreading. Just like with SAC.

I own both and quite frankly, if you already own SAC, there's no reason to step down to Reaper and its workflow. It's usable if you prefer to spend $60 instead of $500 on software but if you've already spent the $500, SAC is the better product for a real live workflow.

Not on the Reaper mixer itself it isn't, but if you are making the web based interface for the remotes you can. You can change the fader knob colours in the theme by right clicking on any channel and choosing the channel layout option, which is how I make all of my monitor master green, fx blue etc - unfortunatley as I said there is currently no way to change the send to these channels on the individual channels that are sending to them though.

Routable solo bus is also not an option, there are workarounds where you use just a channel as your master, but that seems really hokey to me.
