I really think it will.

This isn't a sales pitch. I really believe that Reaper is hands down the best composing and editing DAW out there. It's just different enough from the others, that a lot of people try it and just go back to their previous DAW. The learning curve is surprisingly steep for such a simple program.

But the beauty of it is that once you get past that initial step, you're golden. It's fast. Simple. And you're hooked. I know I am. Editing in any other DAW (not mentioning names) is brutal for me now.

Thanks.

Wow.

Have you discussed this with your peers over at GS?




P.S. - Can you please convince ChrisJ to port his NC-17 plugin over to PC? I've offered him a free PC to develop it on, but he's still refusing. Maybe you could make him an offer that he cannot refuse ....so to speak.

BTW, I meant no ill-will or anything in my comments, I just know that GS has a group of folks who are pretty committed to their own methodologies (in regards to anything) and are pretty inflexible in trying out/embracing newer options when they are presented ...unless of course it's some kind of uber-expensive nibnob that's in favor at the moment.



Anywho, the intro tutorial looks great and I'll probably purchase the set to help extend my knowledge base, which tends to remain rather inflexibly fixed (funny how that worked out, no?) to how I learned to do things through blood sweat and tears ...and the REAPER forum, or course.

No offense taken. I'm actually more interested to see how my loyal Pro Tools fan base is going to take it.

I'm really digging both at the moment. Starting a song in Reaper and staying there until mixing time. Then over to Pro Tools. Reaper just makes it so easy to go back and forth. I can actually do vocals in hotel rooms if I want.

Hey. These are not supposed to be Tips and Tricks. That's next.

Seriously, I'm surprised you picked up any in that video. You'll probably find a few in each of the others.

I watched the free preview, it looks great.

I am also impressed that the 10 minute preview appears to be a single take! Even if it's not a single take, it speaks well for your editing skills that it seems like one

(OK, I re watched, it's more than one take. Still, nice performance!)

If you saw how many takes it was you'd run me out of town. lol

My video editing skills far outweigh my ability to run a video tutorial in one pass.

We are given some very cool software, Kenny is a master, but it even makes my stuff look like a one take wonder!

I loved the sample so have purchased it! It is downloading right now. By the way Kenny, I have never used Pro-tools but have recorded to it in many-a-studio. I am a 45 year old musician and have even recorded to 2 inch tape in my time. I am also familiar with some of your work, so it's awesome to see you on this forum. I think that your dual DAW approach is good for some of the Reaper elitists; whatever gets the job done is what a person should use. I will say that it was on the last project I recorded in a PT studio that the engineer recommended Reaper to me (after I had already begun to tinker with it). Since then, he is slowly migrating to an all Reaper studio. Anyway, thanks for your super-valuable input and good luck with your own work.

My take is this. I am more a "visual" learner. One of those people that you just have to show me real quick and I am good. I have downloaded and printed the complete REAPER Manual and there is alot there to go over. BUT....with my job (Army), I don't have a whole lot of time to read 400+ pages. Sitting down and watching a quick 10-min video is way better for me.

So in the end....I had $40, and it works for me. And it's all in one place. To each their own I guess.

IMHO... these tutorials are very good and offer an alternative way to learn about some of the features in Reaper. I think these videos are an asset to the Reaper community and will be a great help to get new users up to speed (also good for not so 'new' users).

That said... they're not mandatory, if you're not interested, that's okay.

Default Very nice

I Bought it yesterday and watched 2/3 of the videos. Well worth the money. Of course I wish there was more, but that is the problem with good things: they leave you hungry for more

Many of the topics I knew, but there is always something more to learn.

Very well explained, maybe if Mr Gioia would talk a little bit more slowly it would be more comfortable for non-native speakers.

Great work, I am looking forward to Reaper Explained - The next step

Next to the tutorials Camel Audio made for Alchemy, these are some of the best videos I've seen, and I can't help but think Reaper would get way past critical mass in market penetration if these were freely available so people wondering whether they should get Reaper or go with a competitor could watch these to help make up their mind. Really, for me, the value of Reaper really went up.

I see people from Groove 3 are posting in this thread also, that's cool. Just wanted to let you know that if you expand on the Reaper-section, I'm sure to invest in the material in the future.

Regarding some of the other input you've gotten in this thread, I realize that people are different. I really like fast talkers, as long as the pronunciation is good, it helps keep my attention. So these videos were good for me. There is a certain degree of repetition, but I don't mind, it helps the concepts sink in for me (for me it's better to have something explained twice and quickly than once and slowly). Also, I agree that it would be great to have the keystrokes superimposed on the video, either added as a post processing or using a keycaster.

Thanks again, looking forward to future videos.

"Funny thing is many of us have made pretty good money with that pile o'sh*t. I take it you haven't"

With pretty much anything but ProTools, yes I have ( Cubase, Nuendo, and Live come to mind, Reaper I use for my own personal projects as clients don't know about it and usually like to hear familiar names ), and for the last 10 years or so... And since I'm still entitled to my opinion, I'll stick to it.

I'm sure it works for you and it seems to work for other people as well, but after trying it last year to see what I was missing, I'm reassured I'm not missing anything and that it is in fact an outdated counter-intuitive piece of software and hardware sold for an outrageous price. The control surfaces/mixing boards ( Icon and Venue ) are very nice though, and if I could integrate an Icon with Cubase or Reaper flawlessly, I'd probably get one in a heartbeat. But the software... Sorry, but you couldn't convince me to use it instead of pretty much anything else, especially Live or Reaper.

Fair Enough. But back to the topic, Kenny's videos are stellar and I don't mind the fast talking. I actually prefer it. I can't stand watching tutorials when the instructor talks too slow. I'm a very impatient guy and I find Kenny's "speed" perfect so I don't get bored. LOL!

Agreed on that. And it's cool to get 12 hours worth of tutorials and only pay for about 4 of them...

Ah! HEHEHE! No, I'm not asking for these to be free, at least it's not a personal goal, as I already paid for them, and am very happy with the purchase. I was thinking more in terms of a marketing strategy. Camel Audio does it for Alchemy (as I mentioned, go to YouTube and check out these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwC4s...x=0&playnext=1, but please don't do so if you don't have the money to spend), and our Swedish Propellerheads friends do the same.

As a marketing strategy this work very well, take it from me, I own both Alchemy and Reason/Record, mainly because of the demonstration videos. I am really happy with both products, but I wouldn't have bought them if I didn't get a quick video introduction to illustrate their power.

So, really, not asking for free stuff from Mr. Gioia, just hinting to the overlords at Cockos that spending money to have videos created at this level of quality is a great way to market excellent software.

Hey Kenny - I teach at a local audio school, and these look like really valuable resources (we also teach Logic and ProTools via similar videos, at least in part). I'm definitely the Reaperhead at our school - have you got an academic/educational price strategy in mind? If so I can pass the info on to the administration.

[by the way, you might want to tell your e-commerce guys that people that live in Canada don't have states - they have provinces, and the mandatory "state" field does not contain valid options for us]
