[Rwp] My! Lord! am I impressed!

I think any additional support reaper can get mac or PC will be great. Sure my workflow works great but thats not to say there isn’t room for improvements. For starters on the mac it doesn’t speak  measures and bars like racers does and probably an access plug in will enable such a feature as a sight person would never use that. I got used to not having that cuz Pro Tools doesn’t do it either, but many have told me its something they can’t give up. As an Audio Guy i haven’t played with midi yet so cant speak to that.  I am the oddball that enjoys using OS X and doesn’t have boot camp or a windows VM on any of my machines so take anything I say as the vocal minority not the majority opinion on the subject. That being said I see the plug in situation not much different from windows as far as audio plugs go, a lot aren’t accessible, but there are useable ones out there and i pretty much found replacements for all the stuff i used on windows. If you care for a demonstration or have questions, Feel free to shoot me questions and i will try to explain how they are done on OS X . I only can speak to my workflow, so there could be things i haven’t thought of yet that would affect how others work.

However, if Mac users are already entirely happy with what they have with REAPER (i.e. you can access everything you need and you believe it's sufficiently efficient), there may not be much point in investing much effort into it. So far, I get the impression existing Mac users are happy with the workflow as is. Personally, from what I have heard from others and understand on a technical level, I don't think it's sufficient, but I'm also not a Mac user and therefore my opinion is irrelevant.

Use Sound flower to send a copy of the audio from your maker track to that meter app and monitor it with the hot key assigned to the app and enter speaks with system voice. crude work around but it works for now.  Vic did address meters with his plug in but i never got it working. would be curious if others try it and have success with it.  the master track can’t be the last touched track  but it is nice to have access t all the options on the channel strip minus meters

>>> I could be wrong, but I suspect you can't actually make it the last touched track on the Mac either. As far as I know, REAPER doesn't allow the master to ever be the last touched track. You can certainly navigate it, though. Also, you don't have full access with what REAPER natively exposes in the sense that you can't access meters, for example.
