Hi,

I'm Dave.

According to my registration date on the Reaper forums I've been using Reaper since 2008, initially running in Windows, running in assorted Linux distros for the last decade or so.

The pun in this post's title is disgracefully clunky but, despite the frustrations and its idiosyncrasies, Reaper has become something of a friend.

It definitely makes me grin, especially when I'm reminded of the nonsense that people who use other DAWs have to deal with.

Reaper is very menu heavy, but has a good amount of keys bound to actions. Check the key bindings list and try to memorize them, much like you probably have done for other things given your setup.

In addition to this, you can customise your own key bindings for a ridiculous amount of actions and even chains of actions. You can potentially perform fairly complex tasks with a single key. With enough repition you can quickly perform almost any process you like without thinking too much about it. The tricky part, at first, is figuring out what name the thing you're thinking of is given in the Reaper action list.

Any list of actions you use very much? So I can add when it's useful and I haven't thought about it yet :D
