Default screen set

HI all Just created a screen set for video editing from the excellent video made by EpicSounds, but now Reaper is defaulting to it, even if I last closed it with my "audio" screen set. How do you fix the default screen set? I've had a search but can't find anything on this. Thanks!

It would be very helpful if you linked the video.

This is the video, and I saved the screen set as Jon says for video, then made another one corresponding to how I set things up for audio...now it seems to default to the video one. As I rarely do video I'd rather it defaulted to the audio one.

set it up in preferences..

There's sort of a bug where reaper doesn't remember the last window positions when using screensets. Switching screensets is not the same as clicking the x on each window to close it. 90% of the times I open reaper it's got some weird window layout. annoying!

just a thought - bring up the audio screenset and save it (Ctrl E) as say F1 and maybe name it 'audio' or 'default'. Then anytime you hit F1 you'll have the audio screenset.

Exactly, Epic. Is it just a feature of Reaper? 😦 Not the end of the world but a bit annoying.

@Twangothan there is a solution: 1) create a default startup project ie. default 'project template' (if you haven't already) Basically define the project settings, number of tracks, their routing etc. (or leave empty) and save the project to reaper directory for example. Than load it in preferences > project > use following templateand choose the project you just created. This will ensure every time you press 'new project' OR startup reaper, this project will open. 2) Set up a startup action for the default project Open the project, and find your command that loads your screenset, right click on it and choose "copy selected action cmd/id". Than run the action "SWS Set project startup action" and paste your screenset action cmd id. Save the project. --- This way on startup reaper will open the default project, and the project will load the appropriate screenset. Not ideal to set up, but once it's done it's like a vanilla preference setting :) e

Well thanks EricM! That solved a similar problem I had too :cool:

Sadly it didn't sort it for me. When I right click on the screen set F7 it doesn't give me that option. I had set up a template so that's fine. Step 2 doesn't work - if I open View/Screensets and right click on the one I want, F7, I just get an option to dock it, and another one (I forget) but not the option you said. Arrrgh. Not being able to set a default upending screen set is bizarre. I think I'll just delete the video one as this is driving me insane.
