I'm more of a fan of Ableton Live, Cubase, and Studio One. But they don't really have the feature set that Reaper has; and if Reaper doesn't have a feature I can script something together in Lua. There's also the Reapy library for Python if I want to get even more nerdy on it; which I often do.I can agree with that. On top of how the app handles scaling is weird in the first place, like it's overly complicated instead of "select theme, select scale".
After years of using Reaper I've been trialing Logic Pro because it works a bit nicer with my stuff. I do hate not having a cross-platform option though, but e.g Presonus Studio One and others haven't quite done it for me either.
I just got a free copy of Ableton lite with my controller. Is it worth futzing with you think?I'm more of a fan of Ableton Live, Cubase, and Studio One.

But Cubase and Studio One are just so much nicer to use.
Yeah I get enough of programming for my day job so for a DAW I just want something convenient and nice. Logic Pro has its own share of problems and quirks for sure, but for now works for me as I moved most of my audio stuff to my Mac instead.I'm more of a fan of Ableton Live, Cubase, and Studio One.

Hmmm, honestly, not for guitar music unless you're willing to jump through a butt ton of hoops. But for electronic music it is pretty much the gold standard.I just got a free copy of Ableton lite with my controller. Is it worth futzing with you think?
I use Cakewalk currently. I'm sure it's dogshit to some but it works for my pea brain. I've been using my controller to write synthwave-y riffs then dumping some crap riffs on top. So I'm already in weird hoop jump land. I might give it a go and see if it makes sense for the synth base tracks and bring them into Cakewalk for guitar tracking.Hmmm, honestly, not for guitar music unless you're willing to jump through a butt ton of hoops.

Gonna get my 4th beer. Expect abuse via Boomerbook.Reaper is maybe the last software I’d choose to work with, despite its many strengths. I just cannot be dealing with their menus and windows with a million random checkboxes thrown at you.
looking forward to hearing about your special Rea scriptGonna get my 4th beer. Expect abuse via Boomerbook.
