A friend taught me about this thing called step recording using #Reaper. I can use this to make custom sounds for my programs. Is there some sosrt of person who is teaching this? #Blind, #MusicProduction
Erinnert ihr euch noch an meinen Post betreffend #Reaper und asiotreiber? Funktioniert bei mir leider nicht, weil Asio mein USBMikro nicht erkennt. also bleibt mir nur, auf finanziell bessere Zeiten zu warten und dann ein Audiointerface zu kaufen, auf das ich wieder zur singenden Svenja werden kann.
I finally decided to grow up and learn #Ardour and dump #Reaper as my #DAW. No shade on Reaper, it's a fabulous piece of proprietary software that runs well on #Linux. It's reasonably priced and highly functional. All things being equal, I'd rather use and support free software. So, when I got the point where I made my first export in Ardour, it asked me to become a subscriber, which I did, gladly, as the software works very well (for my purposes).
@mxtthxw Loved the look of Reaper. It reminded me of the old, old Logic (well in one of its skins).
Not sold on Linux for music, seems to be a hash there. No asio etc. I use windows still. PITA but a workable one (though had a fit today as it tried to update when recording)
@mxtthxw I haven't used ProTools since PT 7, but it was boss as a pure audio editor (for dialogue/sfx/sound design). But I always hated the shenanigans around how they tied the program to their expensive hardware, so i switched away as soon as i could. It's been a long time and I didn't keep up, but I'm not surprised to see that the shenanigans continue. Avid was the vanguard of shitty corporate subscription services that hijack your livelihood.
Bonkwavers Int'l : often talk about #Reaper on Linux
Me : Mhh I guess that's another nice piece of software I will not use, instead I will stick to my dual boot with Ableton Live on Windows.
My sound-engineer friend in Geneva, finalizing a recording of the BBC Symphonic Orchestra : Oh you still use Live? Cool. Have you tried Reaper? It's nice. And I think it works well on Linux, just saying.
To my #Reaper friends, I offer you the use of this service if you don't feel like spending hours and hours adding stretch markers to your project just to get something on an even keel.
You send me a file.
I import it into Logic.
I make a midi file which contains the tempo information and you import that alongside the existing audio. This midi file will contain the tempo information you need to get the job done. It's usually quick, simple and convenient. Saves you potentially hours of your life you won't get back.
we saw scratch play live a few years ago and it was batshit crazy. basically ninety straight minutes of him smoking pot and sexually harassing his backup singers 😬😬😬
Back with another Reaper newbie question. How exactly do I tell FX where, and when, to apply? I'm using the Voxengo beeper plugin. I created a new track, and added Beeper as an effect. But now, how do I tell it where to apply? I have a very narrow portion of audio I want to sensor. #Reaper#Audio#Osara
Sort of getting the hang of #Reaper a lot more. It really is very cool what can be done in terms of customisation. Certainly beats Avid, their idea of a cool feature is put a shop in the software. Hope to get a few more hours in tomorrow before work.
@mxtthxw so much amazingness in Reaper. Monitor FX Bus, Pan type per Channel, Delta Soloing in the FX slots, and yes - you can even make it look (something) like SloTools. 🤣
@mxtthxw I really need to move over - I have to use tools at work so I have it by default but I feel like I'm missing out on stuff for the sake of familiar drum editing tools.
@mxtthxw@m2m@axwax I switched themes a few days ago, and it's amazing how much easier MIDI editing is with a lighter background. With the default I couldn't easily see the grid lines.
Brauche mal eure Hilfe #reaper mit #Ultraschal 5 nimmt sich im Schnitt immer mehr Arbeitsspeicher und gibt ihn nie wieder frei. Das läuft solange bis kein Arbeitsspeicher mehr da ist. Kennt jemand einen Fix? @ultraschall@rstockm#podcasting#podcast
Reaper friends: I have a track that I want to lower the volume of gradually, but not to complete silence (roughly 50%). I know about Ctrl+Alt+O, but that fades to complete silence from the cursor to the end of the track. Any suggestions? #Reaper#Osara#Blind#Audio
@jscholes I was recording something with some portable recorder, finished up, thought I pressed stop and just threw it in my backpack. A few days later I wanted to get the recordings off of it. I never pressed stop. I had hours upon hours of recordings of doing the most random stuff while the thing was doing its thing in my backpack.
And then I did it again. Except this time I accidentally tapped the record widget on my watch. I didn’t find this one out until much later, but a lot of that recording is just me sitting at my computer typing. And the dread I felt while scrolling through that file, those hours of literal nothing but typing, realizing that this is how I spend a very large portion of my life, was quite something. it was quite a profound sadness.
Uh sorry anyway. All that to say yup, been there, done that, got the whole wardrobe.
@talon@jscholes I once managed to activate the start recording trigger on my watch while sleeping. That was a very interesting recording. Since I have a recording complication on my watchface, I’ve accidentally activated it a few times during the day as well. But this has given me a few precious moments to keep, so I am not really complaining.
I really wish freezing tracks in #reaper would not take for ever. It took 40 minutes to freeze a 5 hour long mic track with goyo on it a few days ago. and my machine is a beast. and yes I do have render settings set to 2048 what ever that is in prefs.
@ke7zum I notice your project includes video. Have you separated video and audio to separate tracks? If not, when you freeze that track, you're also freezing the video, and that limits it to the speed of the video encoder. That, also, may force resampling. I've been using DAWs for 25 years, and Reaper for 10, BTW, so am very familiar with optimizing/tweaking.
@bryansmart Yep, I did. the audio still took about 47 minutes to freeze a 267 minute track with goyo. I think this was at about 8 to 10 x real time. I do separate the tracks actually so I can adjust levels post if needed.
