I'm quite in love with this script that lets you absolutely break FX and synths in #reaperDAW by randomizing every knob at once. Script is called mpl_Randomize Track FX parameters

@xyplorer.bsky.social Sorry for calling the design ugly on the other site some years ago. And also, the redesign is looking great! Thanks for all the improvements.

I'm not the biggest EQ dork, but there's a feature of @getsoundly.bsky.social plugin that I really like.
The "mix" knob isn't a wet/dry knob, rather it fades the band's PARAMETERS.
Makes complex EQ fades possible with a single automation lane. Pretty neat, free: getsoundly.com/tools/

Quite enjoying this built in non-destructive spectral repair in the newer versions of #reaperdaw. One less thing I have to use RX for.
Works for time selections and razor edits too.

Had a dream that there was a creature living under the sidewalk that would show you its den in exchange for one pebble, a bit of mortar, and a wild rose.

Can't believe I never noticed the action called "File: Spawn new instance of REAPER". It just opens another window so that you can work on multiple projects (and copy-paste between them) in split-screen.
Will make integrating pickups a lot faster. #reaperdaw

Genuinely flattered that the kind folk at Klankverbond put a picture of me babbling about sound design on their website.

I think Linear Phase EQ is kind of overhyped. But the one place i often use it is for checking my adjustments. Flip into linear mode for a moment to see if the high pass is negatively affecting the voice.
Easy to hear it with the delta solo option in Reaper. You'll hear only what's changed.
