I don't make commercial music, so I can afford it. Yes, I didn’t buy FL Studio, because it doesn’t suit me in many ways. So don't be discouraged if some functionality or user experience aspect seems to be missing at first - chances are that it's possible in some way or another. One thing to remember is that REAPER is very user-configurable and can be personalized much more than any other closed-source DAW. Perhaps they could know to advice you more specifically, if you rename the title of this thread to 'How to make piano roll behave like in FL Studio' or something to that effect. There are other FL Studio users on this forum, and some of them have configured their REAPER MIDI Editor to be much like Piano Roll in FL Studio (I have not). A good start is to open Options > Preferences > Editing Behavior/Mouse Modifiers, go through MIDI-related settings and see whether changing them will make MIDI Editor behave as you wish. I suggest that you try customizing mouse modifiers and other aspects of REAPER's MIDI Editor. REAPER's MIDI Editor is in some ways superior to FL Studio's Piano roll, because it is more user-configurable and includes some functionality that is missing from FL Studio. And I have never seen a pianoroll anywhere (in other DAWs) that compares to it in FL Studio.Īs user of both FL Studio and REAPER, I disagree.
It's a pianoroll that sucks compared to that in FL Studio.
