Hi,
I downloaded some of the plugs to try (1973, Verbiage, etc.) and loaded them into a dupe project in place of the plugs I was using to see how they sounded. In the course of playing around I have come up with two questions:
(by way of introduction I should note that I am using them in Reaper 3.75 on Mac OS10.6.6 running on a MBP)
In the course of editing, when I find some small thing that I am unsatisfied with, I often pull the project back up, adjust what affects it (e.g., edit volume automation envelope) and re-render the project. Since this often involves granular rather than global issues I will perhaps only look at one parameter in one channel. Naturally, if I open one of the plugs running in demo mode, I get the nag screen. This is not a problem. Your policy in regards to demo is more than fair. After thinking about this though I began to wonder, do the plugs function differently (or not at all) if they are not opened and the nag screen passed? If I several instances of a plug running in different channels (or multiple plugs in a given channel) it is likely, given the above scenario that they would not be opened / edited prior to rendering.
Also, one nice feature of Reaper is dragging and dropping effects from track to track. I do this all the time, it can be a huge timesaver. It seems though like not all the parameters are tracking to the new send (e.g., in 1973 all the settings transfer except the mid mode setting). This does not seem to be consistent so perhaps it is something I am doing. I have also had a number of crashes doing this with Verbiage and Event Horizon.
I have re-read that wonder if it sounds a bit grumpy. If so, I don’t mean it to. The plugs that I have tried sound very nice, (which is the important thing) look swell, and have very usable interfaces.
Help!
