Reaper Problem, Getting signal but not recording |
Reaper users specially after customizations can't give-up on it easily 
I didn't ask the details but the SWS he mentioned for example is a customization.

I know but that felt like giving up and you know me buddy, I hate being beat
 it was my frustrated head talking. Plus if I install the portable install to my HD and it works then I can use that. One of the blokes on the Cockos forum said "I run a portable V6 on my desktop as well as keeping my V5 as my main install, and am slowly moving over all my configs etc over from the V5 to the V6. Once I am happy with the V6 setup, I can save my V6 configs, and then overwrite my main install with a fresh V6 and then install the configs saved from the portable" I don't really understand what a portable installation is if it can run fine on a HD which I haven't tested yet, then why have the non portable installation.?

I had an idea but it didn't work.
I exported the config from my Reaper 6 on my desktop and imported to my Reaper 6 on my laptop. Nothing changed, still no waveforms. I installed the portable version to my desktop and it works fine so I'll use that until the main install gets sorted, if it ever does.

I'm just going to do that now buddy, but before I read your message I just uninstalled Reaper 6 on my laptop, installed Reaper 5 and I have the same issue, no waveforms, also the having to save before I can record issue is there. Something must be deep in the system but still linked to any Reaper installed on the hard drive. I must be in the registry. I'm wondering if it's worth re-installing Windows 10 again?

I've never had this with Reaper though, sometimes I forget to save the project first (I'm always in a rush due to time restraints) and when I try to close Reaper it prompts a save, I've never had to save first.

I always have the rea peaks sent to a dedicated folder, always done the same, it makes the project folder tidy.

Yeah that dedicated folder is there, it's on my D: drive
I can live with the save thing, it's just handy if you want to do a quick recording and render the file without having to save a project.

QUOTE (Mertay @ Dec 6 2020, 09:07 AM) Ok keep in mind on the reaper tutorial video's (I forgot how its done right now) one of the first thing suggested was adjusting those peak files to automatically be placed in a folder (instead of in the same as the save file). Yes I've done that. It's crazy, I've used Reaper for years, installed it many times and never had an issue like this. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

I am so so sorry Mertay, and Todd.
I woke up at 2am this morning with an idea which has solved the two issues. My subconcious must have been working away on all the things you've said to me. Number one, for some reason, probably my lack of understanding of Reaper (I wish there was a Dummies Guide To All Things Reaper)I never assciated the waveforms with the word "peaks". It suddenly dawned on me in the early hours, has my OneDrive account synced the folders yet? When I checked the status of the peaks folder and the default recording path when project is unsaved they both said "sync pending". I quickly created two new folders and set up the paths and bingo, it works fine. My entire D: drive is on the cloud, it has everything except for program files on it so it's a fair amount of GBs and I remember when I first set it up I left my desktop computer on for a few days, the laptop doesn't sync as much as the desktop but it's still a lot. I don't know why it hadn't synced those two folders when other items in the same place were synced maybe it priorotises somehow? There must be a way of stopping OneDrive syncing everything when you re-install Windows which I'll look into. I am so sorry to have wasted your time but it was your advice that got my brain thinking, it's a shame it took it so long. At least I'll know in future. I fully understand if you want to slap me in the face with a wet kipper but you did help by pointing me in the right direction so I'm thankful of that. I've installed Reaper numerous times without issues so it was really doing my head in. Thanks again and apologies again. I feel a compete and utter pillock  Phil This post has been edited by Phil66: Dec 6 2020, 02:25 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
