Typically my Reaper project file sizes are c. 5mb, including projects with multiple instances of Scaler 2. I have auto backup set for every 8 minutes in my Reaper settings. However, I’ve noticed that there are now frequent long hanging / delays when using Scaler 3 within Reaper, and that my Reaper project file sizes are now hundreds of mb, which may be connected to these delays. I’ve never had project file sizes this huge before. I’ve only v recently purchased Scaler 3, so am using the latest version.
P.S. I’ve now checked the Reaper project files in Notepad and can confirm that it’s the “VST3i: Scaler 3 (Scaler Music)” “Scaler 3.vst3” data that is making up the vast majority of the project data. It appears to include data that is repeating, or very similar, many 1000s of times.
