PM<BR>> Subject: Re: [RWP] Creating
functions?<BR>><BR>><BR>> Yeah, as Scott says, drag and
drop, and more specifically the mouse down<BR>> and mouse up controls tends
to yield better results and allow us to drag<BR>> and drop the way
sights usually do on the mac.<BR>><BR>> Reaper on the mac -
it's a challenging work in progress. Honestly if Scott<BR>> hasn't turned
me onto Reaconsole I'd probably still be living in a solely<BR>> Pro
TOols and Garage Band world. Yes the mac version doesn't have the<BR>>
toolbars and other elements contained in their own containers like
most<BR>> proper mac apps so there is a lot to navigate through on screen.
Also It<BR>> doesn't properly *see* the UI so unlike in the Reaccess world
you can't just<BR>> up and down arrow from track to track automatically
selecting them as u go.<BR>> You pretty much navigate through most of the
track elements like I/O FX,<BR>> Volume, Pan etc. Also a lot of the
shortcut you guys use were brought to<BR>> reaper with ReaAccess. So
i had to go in and create a lot of those shortcuts<BR>> like all the
time selection ones myself. That being said Between<BR>> ReaConsole,
Assigning shortcut keys to actions, Making my custom actions,<BR>> and
having a control surface at my disposal, I manage to make it work for<BR>>
me. Also knowing the mac and VoiceOver the way you know Windows and
your<BR>> Windows screen Readers inside out helps.Understanding the Mac's
Conventions<BR>> and Paradimes has helped me a lot with making my way
around apps like Garage<BR>> Band and Reaper, as i use things like
HotSpotting and item Chooser to save<BR>> on all the navigating and
interacting and stop interacting you would Do<BR>> otherwise in some of
these apps. Also understanding the differences between<BR>> drag and drop,
and mouse down and mouse up, and when to use which helps a<BR>> lot also.
Also a physical mouse or track pad is needed as i said before, VO<BR>>
doesn't *see* the interface properly, so the VO double click gesture
doesn't<BR>> work. Though sometimes VO+Space automatically acts as a double
click on<BR>> certain elements, like highlighting a track. I don't know
that i would use<BR>> reaper on the mac for a 24 track mix project just
yet, but for a few tracks<BR>> like podcast or mixing vocals/other
instruments in with an already mixed<BR>> backing track, its a great time
Save over Pro TOols at the moment, and<BR>> ReaConsole has a lot to do with
that. SO seriously, ReaConsole is available<BR>> on windows too as part of
the SWS Extensions. Learn to use it. It will make<BR>> you love reaper even
more. Me personally, I don't have a modern windows<BR>> machine in
the house, and can't really for sea every buying another one, and<BR>>
don't have eyes around to help me boot camp. So it was worth the couple
days<BR>> of time it took me to make shortcuts and custom actions, and i
can now do my<BR>> loop based productions with the same efficiency i had on
windows without<BR>> using Garage Band. If only Pro TOols allowed you
to import loops and<BR>> honored the loop meta data when using the standard
import dialogue, I would<BR>> of never even dug in to reaper like this. But
alas, all the ways to use<BR>> loops the way i like to are not efficient
with VO in PT.<BR>><BR>> On Sep 13, 2013, at 2:11 PM,
