Reaper, the digital audio workstation

I forgot in my earlier post, I think you folks might appreciate. Adding some analog stank (and humanity) to sterile computer sounds.

Ie. All-analog mix of electronic music through an A&H GL2200 and 14 analog compressors (mostly dBx, but a Drawmer and an Ashley in there too).

This mix creates the general structure for a final (much tighter) edit/mix/master in , which I'll do sometime in the next couple of weeks...

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.

@svenja Alles klar :-)

@svenja Interface allein wird vermutlich nicht reichen, es braucht ja auch ein Mikrofon zum daran Anschließen :(.

I finally decided to grow up and learn and dump as my . No shade on Reaper, it's a fabulous piece of proprietary software that runs well on . 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).

Hey folks, this is baffling me and I can't find the right guide! How to I add buttons to the area just above the timeline?

I can make Toolbar buttons no problem but I keep seeing videos where people have icons above the ruler, just underneath the transport.

How do I add these?

Any help much appreciated!

Edit: Solved it! It's adding a custom toolbar as a docker.

@mxtthxw is this just a theme modification?

Still not sure about this double decker bus mixer though…

Reminds me of a Yamaha M7CL which always looks daft to me.

Fuck Pro Tools…. I swear it knows I’ve been using Reaper and now it’s throwing a strop.

Look Avid, I don’t care if it is Valentine’s Day, I’m in love with just deal with it.

@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 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.

Me : OK Then, that's the last straw.

Not bad, Reaper, not bad.

I could do this AMAZING mix of my digital piano on xubuntu very easily. All the necessary plugins are included (EQ, reverb, comp, limiter)

It seems Reaper do not recognize my old digidesign MBox2 mini with only ALSA, but he's happy with PulseAudio doing the job (That's what I understand)

Let's hope he will accept to work with my soon to be there Motu M4.

review so far : yes.

Following up on my how I save projects in #Reaper, you can now listen to how i've got my paths set up in reaper. Visit https://unmute.show and search for other reaper content we have :) https://unmute.community/@payown/111829263430411668

Alright, gotta test the new streaming setup () this week.

What would be at least marginally interesting?

Walking through making-of for some Salvation album tracks?

My workflow for making/recording lines using

Talking about my favorite books so far?

Pedal demos?

Playing along badly to my own bass lines that I forget 2 minutes after recording?

Just jamming along with some tunes? (Suggestions/permission solicited)

@jessica

well, you contain multitudes, it is true, but I could probably also help somehow

@venya

Yeah, I don’t think Mastodon checks IP or geolocation so we could probably share as necessary.

band [at] or void [at] ?

okay, first I had to install python

and I need to spend some time really understanding how to mess with in

but here's a quick go based on my avatar image

FreakyFwoof,

To my 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.

  1. You send me a file.
  2. I import it into Logic.
  3. 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.

@FreakyFwoof ah OK, sorry about that, I've never had to use a screen reader.

FreakyFwoof,

@plainoldcheese Yes I guessed that. Some things are obviously much easier with a mouse, draw this, drag that etc.

Ok this is impressive! If you press ctrl/shift/command/capslock/esc/G a George pops up to assist with editing.

@mxtthxw That’s awesome! Is there something similar for Logic Pro?

@mxtthxw I would have guessed the shortcut was Ctrl-Alt-Tab-G 😜😸

First proper vocal session in the shed this morning. Abi's coming over to voice some new Liotia tracks.

Also my first tracking session in Reaper. Here's to a productive morning. :pg:

@mxtthxw oh, i love it!

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 😬😬😬

@mxtthxw oh DEAR 😂

TheQuinbox,

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.

blindelectron,

@TheQuinbox You'll have to automate that, you should listen to this podcast on automation. It's done on a mac so you know the drill, command=control and option=alt.

@TheQuinbox This was a great thread. I'm trying to make a habit of writing things down that I'll easily forget in a week, and the use of envelope points is definitely one of those. To that end... https://jamesscholes.com/2023/11/02/tutorial-audio-censorship-in-reaper/ @jcsteh @BorrisInABox
