reaper

I’ve been using REAPER continuously since January 2020. Since then, I’ve heavily customised it to my liking and pretty much built my professional career with it. I’m very fast with it and it can do pretty much anything I want it to, but here are the problems: 1. I’ve started getting a little...

Hi all so I just bought sac thinking it would be awesome… I’m using reaper and for the life of me this thing has nothing but issues. Main issue-sac will not read MIDI files on tracks 2,3,4. I can get sound essily with my MIDI keyboard but the tracks will not replay any MIDI files only track one...

Hi everyone, Here is a new video where I talk about how I created a boss fight music for the video game Nocturnal. Lots of sounds from @audioimperia Musical Sampling and Cinematic Studio Series here. Hope you'll like it.

The Reaticulate .reabank file for Peteris Vasks Strings can be found here (link), although it hasn't been merged into the official user banks yet. The credit and thanks really goes to the creator(s) of OTR (link). I just pulled the reabank out (and added reaticulate icons) since OTR is a bit...

Historically in Reaper I've tended to use a separate instance of the SINE Player for each instrument but increasingly now I'm sharing a single instance of the SINE Player with several instruments and selecting them via midi. This greatly simplifies my project workflow not to mention being more...

I am a legally blind user who utilizes Komplete Kontrol, (KK,) for its accessibility. I have several Spitfire instruments that present multiple mic positions which can be mixed and matched with KK knobs, but I want to record my individual mic positions to audio tracks in either Logic or...

Hey folks, We're entering the halloween season and with the recent release of Constrictor by Audio Imperia, I thought it would be cool to write an horror track and show you how I did ! The result is here and it look a bit more pro than my previous video. (With a true thumbnail and everything...

Hey, I've made the music theme for a YouTube channel called Addicted To Adventure. Here is an overwiew of the reaper session. List of instruments used in the video description but it features a lot of Audio Imperia's stuff like Fluid Brass and Woods, Aeria and Nucleus among others. Here also...

On a typical project, REAPER is throwing a render error: "Unable to create output file C:\Users\..." (Refer to Screenshot.) Then it says, "The target drive/path doesn not exist, is unavailable, or is in use." I've verified the target path, made sure no others apps are using a file there, but...

Hi, I am a big James Bond fan. So I was very sad to hear the passing of Monthy Norman. In this video, I wanted to play the famous James Bond Theme with different sample libraries. As I'm terrible at the mock-up game, this video only focuses on the main theme line. The idea is to compare the tone...

Can anyone advise: I just built a desktop/tower PC with an i7 CPU and 64GB RAM, so with that hardware, to what values should I set samples x buffers? CONTEXT In REAPER's Preferences > Audio > Device > Buffers x samples, how do you determine the two values? That is, how many buffers x how big a...

Within Kontakt, Audio Imperia's Solo V.I. won't play MIDI tracks, which I've imported into my DAW (Reaper) from a .mid/.midi file. For the bassoon instrument in the attached image, I've verified I can play notes through the track by clicking on the virtual keyboard in Kontakt. But no luck when I...

I often have uneven or jagged CC maps when I've drawn (for example) a violin's dynamics into and out from a note. The image here shows one such jagged event-line for CC modulation/dynamics. When I listen to the note played back, I detect no jump or glitch in dynamic level; it sounds smooth...

I want to compare the CPU usage of a few channel strips. I will modify DAWBench and exchange the SGA1566 for a channel strip. What's the fastest and easiest way to change all instances at once, or in as few steps as possible?

I use CC events on tracks (e.g., mod wheel), and REAPER has started displaying velocities ("notes") WAY OFF. In fact, if I make the track tall enough, velocities display above their track. See the image below. My clue to the cause is that I just started assigning channels to track sends that go...

Which is better or more efficient to use for EQ, compression, reverb, etc? Reaper/Cockos VSTs or Kontakt's signal processors? I'm new to Kontakt and just learned that it can do signal processing on a virtual instrument before output to the DAW. But I've been using Cockos VSTs (e.g...

I've just set up Orchestral Template for Reaper (OTR). When I right-click in the track panel and choose to load an OTR instrument track template, I get an error message in the FX browser: When setting up OTR-Reaper, in the Reaper Preferences window, I entered my usual VST plugin paths. So, I'm...

Has anyone encountered this issue when automating fx in Reaper? I'm trying to automate the expression and dynamics faders in the spitfire player and I often need to try moving them a number of times before they respond. Sometimes, it won't respond to anything I do for hours at a time. I'm using...

Hi REAPER users, I just uploaded a new version of "Punches and Streamers" - a collection of scripts to overlay punches and streamers (visual cues) over the video track. Two workflows are provided: Place markers and generate punches/streamers from these, or use the included custom toolbar. There...

I recently installed Reaper on my brand new M1 MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.1. I had successfully installed SWS along with OSARA, an add-on for blind and visually impaired Reaper users. For some reason, SWS is gone and I can't reinstall it so that it shows up in Reaper. I I've tried...

As I've been getting more into eurorack modular my workflow has been changing a bit, and I finally got to the point where I want to multitrack record into a DAW and then re-arrange things, cut some stuff up, and export a bunch of files. I mention Cubase (Pro)/Reaper/Bitwig because those are the...

I'm running a PC, so I don't have the convenient option of using Video Sync 5, but I need a way to use Cubase as a primary composing DAW, and Reaper as a secondary video player. After a long, hard search, I finally found the Project Synchronization Setup option, but have no idea where to go...

Most of the articulations I've assigned work correctly, but I'm running into some trouble with one of my lines in Reaper. I'm using BBC Core and I have a viola line that's meant to play longs. However, no matter which articulation I assign to this section of the piece, the viola plays spicatto...

[Solved, see below] Hi all, Apologies if this is in the incorrect section (seemed appropriate), please let me know if this should go elsewhere. Issue: I recently had an upgraded pc built as I have a rather large template and was hitting cpu bottlenecks. I'm still seemingly bottlenecking...

Hello, I'm a long time Cubase user, but am now exploring Reaper. So far I'm enjoying the process, but I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to figure out. I'm sure most of these have simple answers, but any help is appreciated. 1. Whenever I load Kontakt from the "Insert virtual...

When I switched from 32bit Reaper to 64bit Reaper a long time ago, I phased out my 32bit plugins as fast as I could because I thought there's no way those would be stable and run without problems via the bridging. For most plugins that is not a problem because 64bit versions are available, but...

Hello! My working project is always 48000Hz / 24 bit for sound design and music. Just yesterday, I noticed that some of the libraries in Kontakt are out of tune with my electric guitar. This happens when I am at 48000Hz. When I go down to 44100 everything is fine. Although, the libraries claim...

So I play a MIDI note, when releasing it the sample re-plays again, I have tested other VSTs and it's only with Kontakt this happens, and it does not happen when using Kontakt standalone, i.e somethings off when the MIDI data goes from keyboard -> Reaper -> Kontakt -> Library. Anyone had similar...

I know, , I know... “all DAWS are exactly the same”. But would anyone actually like to help me test this? I own a lot of orchestral and Kontakt factory libraries. If you are a NON-REAPER user and would like to generate output from identical input (perhaps a very short 4-bar string passage, piano...

Short version: Will I notice a big performance boost by using VEPro to host all my instruments, (for a large orchestral template in Reaper) even without having a slave PC? Or should I not bother with VEPro until I can afford a slave? Longer version: Been trying to put together an orchestral...

I explained some of the processes involved in how I made a livestream of Brian Eno's Discreet Music. I also show how you can make it more complex (have to watch 'til the end...sorry). I think I was too close to the mic. I hate hearing my nose whistle.

Good people of the forums! I bring to you great tidings of comfort and inspiration. This is my custom color map and keyroll, painstakingly developed over entire nights for various hours. These assets have been meticulously designed by hand and eye, each color carefully considered and selected...

So atm I'm using Reaper and have been fairly happy with it. I wonder what switching to another DAW like Cubase or Studio One could bring. One thing I really like doing when working with Kontakt is routing from (pure) MIDI tracks to one instance of Kontakt and then route the audio to seperate...

Hi. I mainly make orchestral music and prefere having one track per articulation. So there's alot of empty tracks during the writing process whenever i'm using my template with a full orchestra. So i was wondering if there's a way to hide tracks that doesn't have any midi/audio on it...

If the question isn't clear enough, I hope to clear this up here. Say I want to "perform" a drum part in, but I can't perform a triplet on a single key of the keyboard so I use multiple octaves top get the right rhythm, but then I need to correct the high octave to match. Normally I'd click and...

Hi, I have recently added to my Kontakt library the Beard Blade Toolkit (v1.3) and the Monster Sanctuary toolkit (v1.3). Unfortunately, most of the instruments while played rise my CPU usage (which is normal) but when I go silent the usage does not drop. When I start playing fast the CPU usage...

I'm not a very good keyboard player, so I play things in at a slower speed (100 BPM typically). But then, when I set the BPM back to let's say 135, there's too much space between each note in my recorded notes. Like this: The notes to the right are how they look when I've played things...

Recreated another theme with MIDI, this time the theme from Deep Blue Sea by Trevor Rabin. This one took a lot longer, just did it by ear so some parts aren't perfect, hope ya's enjoy! Libraries used: Jaeger (Main Strings) Metropolis Ark 1 (Brass, Choir, Spiccato Strings) Action Strikes...

Hello all, as a former Mac- logic user, I just built a windows PC. I've been testing the waters with cubase the past few weeks but wanted to give every DAW an honest try before I settled on. I am very intrigued by how lightweight and customizable reaper is. I wanted to know how you guys have...

Yo! So did another one, because why not. I chose the theme from 2 because I like it the best. Libraries used: Jaeger (Strings) Metropolis Ark 1 (Brass) Action Strikes (Taikos) Symphony Series Percussion (Bass Drum, Cymbals) Orchestral Essentials 1 (Djembe) VSS3 (Reverb)

Hi Does anyone know how to activate the 'Folder mode' in the Klinke Mackie driver when using a Nanokontrol2 + Reaper? I've seen plenty of advice if you're using an MCU or other surfaces, but nothing related to the Nano. Is there some way to bring up the dialog for the Klinke driver other than...

I've made a new articulation manager to export hundreds of maps at once, for multiple DAWs. Studio One Cubase (currently requires the latest version of Excel) Reaper (beta) Most map settings are auto-filled w/ defaults, so an articulation & note number is as complicated as it gets for a...

Hi guys, I am a student and recently signed up for the East West composer cloud X stay at home deal. I am on a Dell laptop with an Intel Core i7-10510U, 16GB (15.8 Usable) RAM and a 64bit operating system. I write a lot of film music and am using East West's Hollywood Orchestra Gold libraries...

Hi again - My time selection is locked. I can't drag its edges, or drag a new selection anywhere else. I tried restarting Reaper, but it doesn't help: apparently it is in the project (other projects are fine). How did I lock it, and how do I unlock it ? - Hardware MIDI instruments often get...

Hey all, i am contemplating purchasing Vepro 7 but have some questions, i thought some Vepro aficionados may help me decide, so first question, 1) Does it make sense to run Vepro on a single computer? Buying a second computer is unfortunately not an option for me at the moment, so i'm...

Hey VIC People. As reaper is one of the more customizable DAWs and I am reworking my Template these days with the discovery of certain tricks, scripts and extensions I thought I might ask the Reaper users around here, what you use on a regular basis? Let me start with the obvious: SWS...

Hi guys! I posted this at the official "Music Tribe" forum but I hate the layout of it and it seems it's never going to be found unless someone googles it... so, I'm here. Bought an X-Touch, X-Touch One, X-Touch Compact.... yeah, overkill. Probably going to hang onto the Compact, because of its...

Hi everybody, I would like to "modulate" a midi track (1) inside an automation lane (2) I use an Amadeus Symphonic libray instrument in Kontakt player the Amadeus guide says: With Amadeus, you can control dynamics using any MIDI CC controller you prefer, key velocity, or a combination of...

Hello, I would like to control multiple tracks with VSTs from one midi track in the way, that only one instrument plays at the same time. In other way I'd like to switch the track that MIDI track is connected to a few times during the song. Can I somehow do that?

Hi. I was wondering: does someone know a way to quickly apply track FX(s) to the source medias, in Reaper ? Or anything to the equivalent effect. The result I'd like is for the source medias to already contain the effect, while keeping all the editing I've done in the track.

Hi all, I'm excited to finally release my first album titled "Impulsum". A mix of orchestral and hybrid stuff I've been dwelling with over the years and can finally tick it off the bucket list. Would love to know what you think. You can check it out FREE on Youtube. Alternatively it's also on...

Hi. What is your prefered way of inserting analog gear in a track's signal path in Reaper ? (like a compressor, an EQ, or what have you) My own solution is quite unsatisfying: I disable the track's 'parent send' and route it to an hardware output. Then I create another track and arm record in...

Another track with the SWAM sax. I swear I use the SWAM and Sample Modeling on everything lately.

Hi guys, i am currently trying to mix a track and wondered if there is a way to process the separate channels of a multi? For example trying to eq a buss doesn't get me the results i want. My daw is Reaper. cheers

Hi all! Fired up my orchestral template this weekend to start some compositions, and with VE Pro, I've started again noticing a significant 3+ second delay/hanging when starting playback. This was formally reported in a bug report from 2015, but was labelled as fixed as of version 5.1 (Nov. 15...

Hello Everyone, Please be tolerant with my belgian college level english I'm new to MAO and occasionally a sax player in a municipal brass band I have a PC laptop, Reaper installed and I don't intend to record any music through audio input device My present ambition is loading into Reaper a midi...

Hello everyone! My name is Bojan and I come from Serbia. I've been a musician enthusiast for almost 20 years now. Started out playing an improvised drum kit then moved on to the classical and electric guitar and bass. After those keyboards came about and finally synthesizers, music production...

So I'm having this problem where the "long" setting on my Spitfire Albion 1 instruments is only responding as one velocity. This happens when I play it on my keyboard (nord electro 4) or even when I manually insert midi notes and change the velocities. For every other setting however the sample...

In this video, I show you the entire process of creating a Kontakt Sample Library in four steps: 1. Recording 2. Noise Reduction (using iZotope RX), Editing & Chopping (using Reaper) 3. Sample Layout 4. and finally: Music As part of the video, I sample a Kalimba I found in a thrift store and...

(Hope I'm posting this is in the appropriate section.) I recently started using VE Pro6 (single machine) with Reaper, and while I've managed to get most everything working smoothly... there's one hiccup. Embertone Walker 1955 comes up with a "Library not found/installed" message when I try to...

So I'm having trouble getting a Kontakt instance to use more than 8 midi outs in Reaper (OTR Version) I'm using the 64 out version of Kontakt in the FX chain and I have routed everything correctly but after tracks 9 and up get no sound at all. Basically, I'm just trying to create a template with...

Just finished up a video going over some workflow helpers for Shreddage 2 usage in Reaper. I've included download links in description for templates. The actual tutorial series I'm working on for S2 will come afterwards.

After the success of my LOTR mockup, and since I have too little work and too much time since I move back to Switzerland, I decided to tackle a new piece. I asked for suggestions and received quite a few... but finally I decided to go for what I consider the ultimate challenge for string writing...

I have a modest setup with a host machine (i7 970 24GB RAM SSD bootdrive) and a slave machine (Xeon E5-2640 64GB RAM 3 SSD drives) running VEP. I am using Reaper on my host and everytime VEP does an autosave, Reaper locks up. When the lockup happens, whatever is happening sticks and holds for...

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum, feel free to movie it. After moving back from the US where I was studying, I spent the past few weeks setting up my workstation and creating a new template in Reaper. I decided to do this mockup of "The Lightning of the Beacons" form the LOTR soundtrack...

Hi, Do you know where to find scripts (on Cubase logical editor, or Reaper, or any other DAW...) to generate variations using classical compositional techniques ? I am not talking about repetition or transposition... but rather more advanced techniques like : - embellishment, - simplification...

Hey guys i recently bought the new Genesis Choir library from Audiobro which sounds fantastic but i'm having a few issues with the timing, in the walk through they discuss a negative delay time of 350ms, i have read some Reaper threads that talks about the lack of this feature within the DAW...

Dear Folks, After a long but succesfull design and re-design cycle, I would like to present to you.....WINDCHORDS. Please go to the following webpage and enjoy the tutorials, here is the link: http://windchordsworld.com/index.html Both MIDI keyboard players and windcontroller players can...

Was watching some demos of Gravity on the Heavyocity site and then the DJ walk through from a couple years ago, and it looked to me like these guys had multiple instances of Gravity on one track...or all of their instances of it on one track, routed out to different ones. Being a noob at this...

It's possible in Reaper to route multiple tracks to a new channel at a time, however by default they all go to channels 1/2. Would anyone know if there is a way to route all these tracks at once to say 3/4, 5/6, etc. instead of having to change all channels individually?

I make a lot of music, sfx and voice editing for games, and love Reaper's "region render matrix" which allows me to create regions, name them and export them (the stems or the master mix) as separate sound files (named after the region names) with the push of a button. It's very powerful. Now...

Most of my experience working with midi has been in Reaper, however since the beginning, I've never been able to control the midi cc velocity automation the way I would like to. There are always hiccups in the volume when ever I try and work with the velocity cc. Is this a problem that occurs...

What I would like to do is compress a group of instruments on a buss while having individual reverb sends for each instrument. Does anyone know how to do this? I think if I change the fader on the buss it will change the wet/dry relationship for all instruments on the buss.

Hi guys, so as some may know, Reaper now has built in notation. Reaper is much cheaper than Sibelius, or other scoring software, however, the workflow is much different. As someone who had been using Sibelius since version 2 (since I was a child) I couldn't change workflow. And so I've created...

I'm having an issue with Kontact 5.6 when recording in Logic 10.2.4. It records in the part but then as soon as i stop the recording Logic freezes. I thought it was a Logic issue, but I tried it out in Reaper and the same thing happens as soon s the recording stops it freezes the DAW. Anyone...

Here's a link to a great review of Reaper 5. It shares a little history (very interesting), the Cockos business model, and covers a lot of the wide scope of this feature rich DAW. It is amazingly powerful, efficient, and full of more capabilities than most will ever use, but are there for...

Musician, producer, mixer. Have created indie dramas, commercials, game show themes, art installations. After 19 years in production facilities, I've recently moved to freelance. Currently switching to Reaper from Cubase. Looking forward to learning and sharing with everyone.

Hey folks, I'm looking to buy a PC laptop to mainly run Reaper, and the occasional splash of Pro Tools HD and Ableton Live. I'm very interested in nabbing something with a lot of on board storage. My live streaming uses are moderate to medium, and I like to do the odd bit of recording plus a...

Hi all, Does anyone have a simple, elegant cross-DAW solution for managing multiple articulations and keyswitches in a large orchestral template context? I do composition, orchestration and production using Vienna Ensemble Pro and Reaper or Pro Tools, depending on the situation. I use rather...

Hi folks, I was excited to see Reaper has bidirectional OSC implementation - is anyone using this to any extent? I did a bunch of bidirectional OSC with pre iPad Lemurs and Max/Msp back in the day. Haven't actually cracked the seal on this with Reaper yet but am enjoying thinking about it...
