Question: With Reaper -- can never get a fade out that sounds appealing to my ears. Experienced similar with other DAWs. Always end up using the Studio Fade Out in Audacity to get the required effect. Is this something worth looking at for Reaper? Asked by Tony (125.237.129.x) on August 8 2025, 12:33am Reply on August 8 2025, 2:35pm: interesting, a fade that fades diff frequencies at different rates. might be candidate for a jsfx or something 3 Comments...

Question: Why do some DAWs have built in midi articulation features like cubase, logic etc. but other daws like reaper, fl, etc. don't? Like why it's not integrated as other daw standards like the piano roll or vst formats in every daw? Is this like a subjective limitation (like a priority thing) or it's more of an objective limitation of midi 1.0 not having enough data about each note to have a proper standardized implementation across all daws or both or something else?
