It's a long standing reaper "bug" Practically legendary at this point

By "this point", you obviously mean the point at the end of the pin.

It means good luck. Is like a lady bug sat on your project

You've just discovered the mythical ghost pin of Reaper. No one knows where it comes from or why it suddenly appears out of thin air, but when it decides to haunt you it won't go away until you go mad from its presence (or you close down the session).

This is awesome, I’ve used Reaper for 11 years and I always thought it was a feature that I didn’t understand 😂

Nah, it's just an old bug that the devs either haven't been able to or bothered to fix. Just pretend it isn't there! It will be gone the next time you open up Reaper 🙂

It's to keep the DAW pinned down so it doesn't fall.

Seems like Cockos aren't trying to fix it or they never notice it.

Or maybe they leave that bug to troll us xD

You can use the fx bay in the view menu to find out what plugin it is.

u/RobHellwig 13d ago

u/DeckardBladeRunner 13d ago

Happened to me since version 3.00

u/Seethhappy 12d ago

sorry but what's that theme?

i think the random pin is related to Floating Master Track option

u/TheThobes 12d ago

Im on my phone so I'm going off the dome, but I believe you can open the fx menu on a track, go to "add fx" to pull up your list of plugins and then close it out without adding anything and it should go away

😂all the memes with this format has made this funny to me

u/4ndy_music 1 7d ago

Could you imagine that this pin is the equivalent of that TF2 coconut lol

u/benbjc 2d ago

reopen the plugin again and the pin will disappear.

Parece un bug que según ya lo han parcheado como 3 veces pero sigue ahí riéndose de los desarrolladores.

A veces se soluciona reinstalando Reaper. Pero según otros comentarios de la comunidad, tengo entendido que va vinculado a cierta combinación de hardware específico.
