![]() ![]() It would be very rare to favor GUI over dropouts hence the lack of an option to do so. If you mean both as choosing which to give priority, it's likely not "just use a few extra cycles for a fast GUI" as it is "favor the audio stream (not having dropouts) over the GUI" aka one of them has to have the final word. And in reality you could probably use the smooth UI setting with a whole bunch of effects and stuff anyway (it's Reaper). Those that are not using too many VSTs/effects (for example writing MIDI arrangements) could have a smoother UI (without any problems) as a new setting. That's kind of my point, those who prefer the current Reaper which saves all CPU for audio processing could have that. Not even as an option? That's not Reaper-like. Just my 2 cents and experience regarding other DAW's GUI. So the problem i have is not only due to Bitwig and FL Studio's handling of GUI processing, it's due to Apple also.īut i believe the way less demanding GUI of Reaper makes Reaper always workable for me, without fans going to the roof and thermal throddling down of CPU / GPU.(and thus: causing dropouts / performance decrease, which is purely killing when producing). Now, i am aware of the fact that Apple just hasn't has its thermal conduction in control, in the thin macbooks they make (google the new I9 macbook: it's a disaster: thermal throddling performance in this new model !). This issue is not only with FL Studio, it's also with Bitwig Studio.(empty project).Īpparently, FL Studio and Bitwig Studio demand more GUI processing than Reaper on my macbook (driving the Dell Monitor), thus, macbookfans kick in easily and keep spinning. As soon as i open FL Studio (empty project), my macbook fans start spinning and go through the roof. ![]() Way better than GUI Reaper imho.(duhhh: "vector graphics").īut. The GUI of FL Studio is looking really great to my eyes ("sharp" / "defined"). I do have a Dell Monitor connected to the macbook with little scaling set. I run FL Studio - latest mac version on my macbook Retina 2015. Logic 9 went from something that looked like a smooth 30hz playhead refresh rate to what must be an atrocious 2hz on Logic X, spawning a load of long frustrated threads on Apple's community forum and Gearslutz.would be great to see Reaper do exactly the opposite I saw Justin's interview where he mentions admiring John Carmack, cmon let's get some Quake 2 butter smooth refresh rates into Reaper!!!! It's hard to tell a realtime Reaper running on a fast desktop computer from someone demonstrating a feature with a captured gif video on the forum, because the updating rate is so low by default. The thing is that modern computers & gpu's have no problem animating a DAW gui with a fluid refresh rate, and you can already see this in Reaper even by setting your mixer Hz preference to 60hz, have it onscreen at the same time as the arrange window in progress and you can see the disparity between the super fluid meters and the playback cursor staggering along the top ruler. demo) you can see an example of what I mean when an app is built to refresh the playback cursor very slickly, it makes the overall waveform navigation experience a lot more pleasurable and easier to quickly zone in on edits. If you are on the Mac and have access to Twisted Wave (e.g. I'd estimate that Reaper is typically updating the playback cursor no more than 5 times a second maybe less, and I don't know about anyone else but it gives an impression of sluggishness and 'lagging' behind the audio. For a long time I've thought that the main arrange window would benefit from the same responsiveness. We can adjust the Hz of the mixer meters to 60hz (or more if your monitor supports) and it goes a long way to improving the clarity of the metering. Is it possible to speed up the refresh/rate of the Playhead Cursor and overall arrange window updating? I do a lot of zoomed in edits chopping samples about and it's often very hard to visually gauge where you are when the transport is in motion (without using tab to transient) because the Reaper gui is sluggish. ![]()
