See EQ in mixer view

-1 I hate that mini-EQ in Sonar, it's almost pointless and takes precious screenspace. I don't want to be forced to see a visual representation of my EQ while mixing. Makes me take bad mixing decisions...

rluk, i agree with you .. i can't understand why so many people don't want it because it would take space on the mixer or bloat Reaper .. : don't they think it would be an optional feature ? Just imagine there could be an option : "enable mini EQ in mixer view" yes or no .. those who want it enable it, those who don't want don't .. or a way to create customizable knobs or to display a graphical EQ .. all optional of course You know, i will never use any of the MIDI features and i still don't complain if someone asks for one as long as it won't appear on my screen every day .. Reaper is good because almost everything can be enable/disable/set up in the options .. EQ is an effect, ok, but everyone can say it's a very special effect : one that can easily be enabled on all tracks .. and one that usually appears on all tracks of most consoles .. why not adding them in Reaper's mixer ? I think the best would be to be able to add optional and customizable knobs in the mixer : it would allow anybody to use them anyhow (for eq or any other settings) I don't want to fight to have this feature, i don't ABSOLUTELY need it .. that's just, i think, it can be almost as useful in mixer's view as Pan or Sends

Fredv - exactly! I too hardly ever use midi, but I don't go spamming NONONO! on every FR that has word "midi" in it. Because, as far as I am concerned, the midi is not even there, I never use it, I never see it :)

you can do this trick that uses the send controls on the track to control any plugin parameter. I've attached a track template so you can quickly see it working. The only extra thing you'll need to do is goto project settings and turn on feedback routing. It basically works by sending a signal into a track and then sending that track back to the original track, and routing the track channels in such a way so that the returning signal is used to modulate the plugin parameter. It's not at all practical in the large scheme of things, but might open some doors to other experimentation or if you ABSOLUTELY need the feature.

brainwreck, yes i'm already using it and yes it's quite easy .. you know, as i have said i don't really really need the mini EQ feature .. but i thought, if there is one thing i have already seen in another DAW and which is not in reaper, it is this mini eq feature and i think i'm not the only one :) Youn, thanks for the tip .. a little complicated yes but really, i feel quite easy to be able to quickly tune settings from the mixer view .. that would be excellent to have such configurables knobs for effects without tricks like that

-1. what happens if i have two eq's on one track (e.g. one before and one after a compressor?)

No thank you.

Can someone explain to me WTF having the option to put VST knobs on the TCP has to do with "bloat"? Curiously, almost every mixer I've ever used is "bloated" in such a way.

-1 ... Don't like the idea at all. Clutter our nice mixer with an eq is something I'd not like to see. But... if Cockos Team is going to add it as an option we can disable to get rid of it COMPLETELY if we don't want it then why not? The half that wants it may use it.

I wouldn't mind this, but I'd much prefer just having all of the FX in a track show up as one rack. Either or.
