Default Web remote

Hi, well so far this is working excellently for me. Thank you so much! I have one request - I'm not even sure whether it's possible or not.

The layout for the remote web interface is very useful, but it would be even better if it showed the title of the current song somewhere.

Unless I have the computer screen where I can see it I'm blindly using the navigation buttons to switch songs and it's kinda scary waiting to see if it's the song I'm expecting or not! Is that something that can be done?

Cheers!

NOTE: I found this, which looks like it would be perfect EXCEPT that it works by having all songs in one project within folders. I prefer ReaLive's method of multiple project tabs - https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=181159

Hello Jesta,
Thanks for your interest in this. I understand the request as I've been confronted to it many times. I've never put much effort in coding this as I'm very poor in WEB stuff. I've built this using Jon Tidey's stuff


Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

Thanks lexaproductions, I really appreciate the work you've put into this.

In case anyone else is interested, I didn't work out how to display the song title on the web remote control app BUT I did manage to figure out a workaround of sorts, although it requires a second device.

Firstly, set up the Web Remote for ReaLive exactly as it is usually. Then (and here's something I didn't know…) you can add an ADDITIONAL web remote controller by specifying a different port number. On this new setup, choose the lyrics layout.

Then I added a track to every song, ran the lyrics.lua script and put the title of the song in the first line (maybe later I might put the actual lyrics in, or the titles of each song section).

This way I can have eg. my phone as the main controller for ReaLive and a second device eg. tablet displaying the song title that is about to begin. It's also handy because I can give other band members the specific lyric remote url and they can see what's coming next on their own devices too! No more shouting song titles across the stage!

I won't go into how to use the lyrics script here as it's covered elsewhere - here's where I found an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMZZvk4x93o&t=462s

that's a nice workaround! but why not just use the region reader in the Realive Web app and in every first region instead of writing "Count" just write the name of your song. that way when you scroll between songs you will know which song you're at.

itamar92. good idea! I think I'll use both methods together - rename "Count" for myself, and lyrics track for others onstage.

I think the best idea is to mod that web remote setup to read the project title. Great idea! That, I think I can make happen.

Default Importing Config

Hey,
is there a way to filter the config that I import?
for example, every time I import your Realive Config I need to redefine the media Explorer DB and Folders path

I know…. This is VERY annoying. But I don’t know how.
Would need to parse the reaper.ini file… or something.

I’ll if there’s anything I can do.

Hi
I have make my first track with click and cues in Realive and it was very easy thanks again I am very happy.
But a small problem.
(I have put in the Realive the last release )
- When I execute the Conductors track Build i lose my cues sample

and one comprehension question

What is the series of step for a new project of songs play list
1) save and named a playlist
2) save Audio routing ( in separate folder on disk or in the folder of the first reaper project song file )
3) Save every other song - projects separately

I am little confuse with the audio routing meaning and save

Great. Happy you like it.
The procedure to build a song is to build the conductor track BEFORE you add all your extra cues. REALIVE will build the main section cues and then you can add your personnalized stuff afterwards.

You can also rebuild the Region track and click track separately should you desire to not change your cue track. Right click on the timeline to get the functions.

I usually save my playlist that the end.
1- I save my Audio Routing first
2- I build all my songs saving each of them while I work.
3- I double-click on the playlist area at the top of the playlist window to give it a name and save it.

The Audio Routing is a "Master Out Mixer" type of project. This is the main routing point between all your songs and your audio device. If you want to repatch anything on your audio interface, you do it from there and all your projects follows.

The transport info is to highlight the cursor's placement and not the play cursor. Using the Left-Right arrows you can navigate in your song.

BTW, it is better to never use the transport's play button but always play/stop with the spacebar. A LOT of stuff happens behind the scenes when you hit the spacebar or use the Realive playback actions. I can't assign any scripting to the transport buttons.

Got it. Will send a fix today. In The Meantime, you can use the Action Marker "Next Song: Stop/NoStop"

I have it on my slate to do an update of Cues.
Send me your suggestions.

It is a bit involved to add new cues as you must add them to the lookup table and decoding so that they can added automatically.

Default Tempo Markers

When in the Tempo View, you have a button, "Insert Tempo Marker at Curs". When I press this, it does not insert a new tempo marker but rather its for editing the first tempo marker at the beginning of the song.

In order to insert a new tempo marker in the middle of a song, I had to go to the Timeline dropdown menu, go to Tempo Markers, then Insert Tempo Marker...

Then it brings up the menu for a new Tempo Marker at exactly the position of where my cursor is located.

Please check it out.

Regardless, I'm getting the hang of what you have here, and I'm enjoying it.

Thanks again.

Oh wow! Thank you for taking the time.

I went and tried it again, and it works exactly as you just showed. Well clearly I did something wrong initially.

Thank you again for your attention.

Default REALIVE short review

Alright my friends,

I've spent hours over the last few day with REALIVE trying to learn it and use it for my live performances.

Last night I went over the Action List and WOW! The amount of custom actions is nuts. There's a lot of cool creative things I can do with this.

There's definitely a learning curve as I have my own customization for Reaper when I use it for studio work. I'm simply trying to learn his way of using Reaper for live performance. Once I understood things better, building the tracks and setting things up became faster.

I highly recommend this if you do Live Performances. The donation price is more than reasonable and Lexaproductions is very responsive to questions.

Now I have put it to use in an actual Live Performance yet, but this is much more superior to what I was doing before with Reaper when I performed Live with it.

Nice Work Lexaproductions. Thank you!!!!!!

Default Reordering Project Tabs

So many cool features in ReaLive! Really appreciate your time and attention to this, LexaProductions!

Question for you: is there a way to JUST use the actions/scripts that allow you to reorder project tabs on the fly though, while using a standard Reaper setup (one that doesn't have all of ReaLive's customizations, just using the Reaper default theme, etc.)?

I'm finding this is currently my biggest hurdle to using Reaper in a live situation. Being able to easily move project tabs (without having to drag and drop the project tabs in Reaper) would be a total game changer for me.

Any thoughts?

Well in Realive’s preferences in the option menu, you can disable the live mode and stay in edit mode.
Then you can use the skin you want.

That being said, there are a lot of « under the hood » stuff happening to keep everything together. So your mileage may vary.

With Reaper’s recent additions in the pre release thread, there are quite a few workaround that won’t be necessary anymore. That will allow a more « stock » experience.
So stay tuned.

That being said, Realive is really tailored to maximize the live experience so with a bit of getting used to, you can get a very intuitive workflow.

Hi!

Just a quick question - how should I go about updating ReaLive to a newer version if I already payed for a previous one?
Do I get "lifetime" licence or how does it work?
