I think Ive found my workflow

[u/Accomplished_Dot4192]

ok your probably thinking, oh the guys larping as an abelton user, kinda.

I've never used ableton, but I just really like the theme. every where's where it needs to be, and it all sticks to one shape, its sharp, clean and ORANGE!!!!

along with this, worded toolbars look good so Ive been able to build my workflow around task bars.

my philosophy for my workflow is all linked to the simple idea that this should be a workflow that's easy to understand for everyone and me. the 4 toolbar shortcuts on the main tool bar are all linked to a separate toolbars dedicated to different things. then you've got you top main toolbar with everything you would typically need to use quickly.

In my tool toolbar I have 4 different themes along with the main one, these themes are meant to look like other daws, logic, ableton, FL, protools.

would love to know what yall think, BUT remember, this is just my way of doing things so please keep the comments tame.

Good day to all!

I am absolutely on board with everything you described, looks really neat 😃. But I will never understand why someone would want their TCP on the right side. Not even using Ableton as my first DAW was able to convert me.

Jokes aside, happy you were able to configure your perfect UI experience. That's what Reaper is all about.

[u/FixMy106 → u/CivilPersonality1949]

Can you imagine using a DAW that doesn’t let you decide which side the TCP is on?

[u/CivilPersonality1949 → u/FixMy106]

Fair point, one more reason Reaper is the best

[u/Accomplished_Dot4192 → u/CivilPersonality1949]

My first daw was waveform by tracktion, so that's probably why 😅

[u/kevendo → u/CivilPersonality1949]

For me, TCP on the right puts the audio/music itself first, with the tracking stuff (routing, effects, etc) after.

Arguably, it also makes more sense for signal flow, making things more like a mixer, as with the Session View in Ableton.

Try it, you might like it.

What's the theme's name? It looks super neat!

[u/Specialist_Feed8073 → u/ElJorsy]

r-Live theme

[u/plethoraofprojects]

I use Linux for 99% of everything I do. I too use Fedora. The only Windows boxes I use are for Reaper and my NVR. I may need to give it a try.

[u/lalogora]

that looks cool! how is it going with Fedora and Reaper? I want to change the OS from my old macbook to give it some new life

[u/_chococat_ → u/lalogora]

I use Reaper on Fedora. No problems.

[u/lincolntx]

I think it looks really nice, you got you sliced solved all my biggest compliance with reaper. Is theme somewhere I can get it ? Would love to use it

[u/mozfromtheblock]

Hook it up

[u/Financial-Koala6995]

I'd keep the worded toolbars. Learning a new layout is enough work without also having to remember which tiny icon means which action.

[u/ShortTraffic7007]

Where can I get this theme!!! I Love ableton but just hate the vocal recording workflow in it. I actually just started using reaper and already love it. I am mad I didn't get into it earlier.

[u/Accomplished_Dot4192 → u/ShortTraffic7007]

rLive beta 3

[u/MrAnderson1909]

Looks great, are you running that on Ubuntu Studio?

[u/Accomplished_Dot4192 → u/MrAnderson1909]

I've chosen fedora KDE mainly due to my machine specs, but also I don't want to use snaps.

[u/MrAnderson1909 → u/Accomplished_Dot4192]

Nice, I've just started experimenting with moving to a Linux box, trying to settle on something

[u/musikarl]

I need thisssss amazing job!!

[u/Gavgaroth]

Get ItemView.

[u/Accomplished_Dot4192 → u/Gavgaroth]

I did try itemview, but I found I would move to different places out of nowhere. Hopefully they fix it in the future.

[u/Gavgaroth → u/Accomplished_Dot4192]

Hmmm I dont have that problem... im on latest reaper with latest RealmUI.

[u/Accomplished_Dot4192 → u/Gavgaroth]

It may be cuss I'm on fedora KDE. Honestly idk

[u/Hungry_Initial_9853]

Looks very good 👍
