Is this still true for Reaper? Which cross-platform DAW can do what the picture shows for ProTools?

Post

That picture doesn't tell much.

There are some DAWs that are object-orientated - that means
you can treat parts in the arrange-view as "objects" and
apply effects to them, copy and reference them.

DAWs that can do this are:

-- Apple Logic
-- Samplitude
-- Reaper

You mean this picture?

No idea... Maybe Cakewalk, it's got some new features that might be usable to you. But Cakewalk is Windows only, not multi-platform. Which platforms do you need? Mac, Win, Linux?

After reading the subject line I thought audio had started their own #metoo movement.

"Oooh I dont know. Sounds a bit scary"
"It's not scary. You just lose a sense of who you are and all that sh!t"

Track-ist!

I think he means separate effects , and pan, volume , pitch envelopes per object ( or events as most daws call it )
Yes reaper can do this

I'm on a Mac right now, but would like to have Windows compatibility too. I was trying to highlight sections of audio tracks and tag them for someone in FLstudio and realized the DAW could only insert time markers for the entire project.

Does Reaper do it naturally or only through creative manipulations?

What about Cubase and Ableton?

Post

Cubase uses 'ranges' for that and you can Offline Process every edit, ie, recall specifically the edit and alter it or remove it. And yes, works in the project window.

Oh yeah, what you want to do is very basic - and almost every
serious DAW can do that.

What do you mean by "tag": Export that part as separate stem-
tracks? Or create a new object with only that highlighted wave-
parts?

But whatever you want, Logic, Cubase and Reaper can
do that. Ableton probably too.

Basically the equivalent of the annotate feature of word processors and pdf editors. You are allowed to pretty much highlight like you highlight text.

Actually it looks like many DAWs don't do that.

What happens if you forgot what you did this session and clicked save?

The edited audio files are obvious in Audio Pool (see image). So that 'recorded' icon reveals it's been edited; select it and go to Direct Offline Processing, there it is.
Saving the project is in no way destructive; however if you bounce the event, replace it in the track and delete the file which edits refer to (in fact these are audio files in a directory called Edits), newer Cubase versions delete the Edits. Used to be they would remain and you could reconstruct it by pointing to the right files.

Is this what I'm expecting with most DAWs recommended here?

Samplitude doesn't really require you cut them up.

Post

Logic has per part processing. I normally just use a separate track.

"Samplitude doesn't really require you cut them up."

Nor does Cubendo. The range is what's accessed in the picture. The part is intact. I do pretty minute range edits, scissors rarely and that's about the part boundary more than anything.
