Hello ladies and gents,
I'm new on this list, and have joined to give my perspective as a
Windows/MacOSX VST/AU plugin user on the area of post production, editng
and mixing for TV, film and games.
Someone on the Reaper forum may have mentioned what I'm about to suggest
to you, so here goes an idea that you can really chew on.
Drag'n'Drop of material from the timeline of a DAW in to the sampler.
That's it. Mainly I'm concerned with Reaper being able to do this, a DAW
held in high esteem by its many users, and as some of you know,
featuring a very responsive and exellent development team of two people
on the coding side.
Developing sound effects can be done in a million ways, and one of the
most popular ways was to simply lay out samples on a keyboard and play
them to find new sounds. That's how most of the animal sounds in
Jurrasic Park were developed. The instrument used was called Synclavier,
a keyboard sampler of highest quality.
In short, this is what one particular commercial sampler already does.
This is Structure by Digidesign. Unfortunatly they limited it to their
own system, making it unusable for people wanting to pick Reaper to work
with. The interface however is pretty good. You can toss anything from
the timeline in to the sampler window and play it immediately.
Take care
Tony
