RiVOA Theme v.85 Updated 8/30/24

Wow! Actually, it was quite simple if you know what to do. This DAW have amazing flexible capabilities.

Glad you like it! The thing to keep in mind about Reaper is that it will do most anything Acid Pro can do. However, getting Reaper's Options setup so that it functions like Acid is where there tends to be some growing pains for users just coming over from Acid. I tried to address these items through custom toolbars, to reduce the growing pains. Pretty much every menu item, option configuration, function and view is tied to an underlying "Action", found under Reaper's Actions menu. All those actions can be assigned to a button with whatever button icon image you want to assign to it and then added to a custom "toolbar". Not as simple as Acid's "display icon on toolbar" but way more powerful and customizable. Reaper would have well over 1000 icons to chose from since it includes way more functions than Acid. This is something I will continue to work on with this theme in expanding the toolbar button function actions. I'm working my way towards having those 1000+ functions tied to a toolbar button, I currently have about 200. :D Here's a quick demo I put together of doing Acid style loop sequencing in Reaper.....Oh, and I also demo what many Acid users have wanted. The ability to record mixes and bus outputs to a track. :D I can further describe any setup items I may have overlooked if anyone has any troubles getting Acid Style loop sequencing to work as I have shown below. P.S. Feel free to modify this theme to your personal preferences as needed. Another item I'm working on is to make this theme simple to modify for color preference settings. :D

This is amazing work! I have tried this myself but I'm not great with the theming aspect of Reaper, but I had trouble getting the item colours correct! I can't see the screen videos that well, and will try and sit down and watch, but maybe a Youtube channel with these videos on to watch properly? As I can't see them that well, I take it you've done the Acid Pro 'Loop, One Shot, Beatmapped (disk) modes? I think I worked out that Loop (was standard), One Shot was Beats (position only)? I'm Mac only but will see if I can download and install this all correctly

Yep great explanation! I think how I did it, was that the whole project was set to Beats (Position Length Rate) so most things looped like in Acid. I also had an action/button to change a particular track to 'Beats (position only)' to act as One Shot for that track so you could flip easily back and forth like in Acid Pro

Epic EPIC!!!!!! Ive been so swamped lately but cant wait to try this!

Any screenshot?

Oh I'm Super Excited to try this out! I guess this old theme from an eon ago is like the "Fremont Experience"

Just to clarify, this is indeed brilliant work! I'm on an M1 Mac runnning Reaper, so would this be worth trying? or as its currently more designed from Windows, would there be certain things missing? :)
