Free Reaper Tutorials
Hi all,
I'm in the process of creating a range of Reaper tutorials covering some techniques that help speed up your workflow.
The first 2 have been uploaded today and cover the following:
1. Project Templates
2. Track / instrument templates.
Both are available on my YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...lvmUFuF8lWX-o8)
Lots more to come over the next few weeks, along with a range of other tips, tricks & guides.
Please check them out and if you have any suggestions for future tutorials, please let me know
Regards
Paul C

Hi Paul & Welcome
Tutorial's are pretty well covered in Reaper but you're on the right track I think with showing some basic 'How's
Just saw this thread= http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=154705
& it's quite common, there's a lot to take in when first starting' also using the gtr tuner & setting a high-pass on the EQ,,things like that?
Just suggestions you might consider?

Cheers Jiff (and hello to another Welshie)
Good suggestions, and areas I will more than likely cover. My aim is to offer regular tips and tricks along with longer and more detailed tutorials on specifics (like recording, mixing, etc) over time.
I found that during my early stages of working with Reaper that other than the Groove3 tutorials by Kenny Gioia that the tutorials were kind of sporadic and disjointed, so took a fair bit of digging around to find the gems
Regards
Paul

Hey all,
I've just added a new tutorial to my YouTube channel. This one covers the use of the free SWS Extensions add-on for working with Snapshots - This great facility allows you to quickly make various mixes /edits and easily switch between them without having to save multiple versions of the same file.
Check it out and let me know if you found it useful: http://youtu.be/hmGx79WFlWg
Please subscribe to my channel to be kept up to date with all the free tutorials as soon as they are added.
Thanks

edit: never mind. just found i could request the html5 player on youtube and your files play fine. oops. tuts much appreciated, btw.
psmeg, are you encoding to flash or is that youtube doing that? if you have a choice, please use html5. i get frequent notices to update flash when i try to use it and adobe has deceptive practices which install mcafee software along with flash. search their forums for LOTS of upset users. flash is incredibly annoying and should no longer be used.
thanks,
BabaG

Hi All,
It's been a few weeks since I posted my last Reaper tutorial, but I've just put together a tutorial on creating a custom action to copy a take to a new track. This is a quick an easy way to promote your best take to its own track ready for editing without the distraction of the other takes on a track.
Check it out here and please subscribe to my channel to be kept up to date with all future free Reaper video tutorials.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK0iJrFVUTA
You can also download the custom action from my website for free.

I hope you enjoy the tutorials :0)

Hey, hey!
After the previous video covering the creation of custom actions, I thought I'd put a part 2 up that expands on this by adding your custom actions to your toolbars to customize your workflow.
You can check out this quick tip here: http://youtu.be/VSAyY7IRJKA

I have to tell you Paul, that's a great tutorial vid.
Clear, concise and straight to the point!
Great work!
I'm looking forward to seeing more.
One question: what theme are you using?
I like those mixer strips with the pan control at the bottom.

Thanks for those! As a relative newbie, I'm learning some new stuff from the videos (indeed I was especially pleased to see the one on sws snapshots since I was about to post a forum question asking whether one could have multiple project states for comparison purposes.)

Hi all,
It's been a busy evening working on 2 new Reaper tutorials for you.
The first one is all about creating Screen Sets to configure your working environment exactly how you like it for multiple uses.
Reaper Screen Sets: https://youtu.be/CFMYL13_M2c
Use these in conjunction with customised toolbars to create a completely personalised working environment.
Custom Action Toolbars Tutorial: https://youtu.be/VSAyY7IRJKA
Finally, the second tutorial takes you through the important aspect of Gain Staging your recordings to give you the perfect opportunity for mixing and mastering your creations.
The Basics of Gain Staging: https://youtu.be/pcvJFpkhFqY
I hope you enjoy them. Please share and subscribe to my YouTube Channel to be kept up to date with all future Reaper Tutorials. :0)

Morning all,
I've just put the finishing touches to 2 new Reaper video tutorials. These new tutorials focus on the advanced recording modes offered by Reaper, specifically:
Time Selection Auto Punch Recording: Learn the benefits of Cockos Reapers various recording modes to make your editing and overdubs quick and easy.
This video focuses on the Time Selection Auto Punch record mode where you can quickly punch in and out on a specific time selection without affecting the rest of your track.
https://youtu.be/arWONKQ1NvE
Auto Punch Selected Items: Learn the benefits of Cockos Reapers various recording modes to make your editing and overdubs quick and easy.
This video focuses on the Auto Punch Selected Items record mode where you can quickly punch in and out of one or more sections of a track without affecting the rest of it.
Combine this with a loop and you can edit multiple parts of a track with multiple takes quickly and intuitively.
http://youtu.be/2OuQ07DaNh8
I hope you enjoy and please subscribe to my channel to be kept up to date with all the new tutorials as they are released

It's Reaper Friday and the latest tutorial has been uploaded today :0)
The Basics of Gain Staging Part 2
In part 2 of the Gain Staging Basics series I look at a simple method of dealing with Direct Input (DI) instruments or mics. How to reduce the volume (using the JS Utility Volume Plug-in) prior to hitting the faders to ensure that you signal isn't too hot and you have plenty of headroom for the mixing stage.
I also cover setting up a track template to save time when creating future tracks.

I keep meaning to watch all of these and never seem to find the time!
Since I am now in France for a month with no english language telly to watch after a day of speaking and listening to nothing but french, I am ready to hear a Brit!
Thanks for doing these tutorials.
I always find something that presses the "i knew that!" button on all of them. Amazing how quickly you forget stuff when you are entering that wonderful fourth age... senile decay!
P.S. I think mine is brain arthritis.... It hurts to think.

I can empathise with that..
I hope you do find them useful, even if just a refresher in things that the 'senile decay' has helped you forget ;0)
P.S. Senile Decay sounds like an 80's death metal band. lol

Afternoon all,
There are 2 new video series added to the channel today:
1. Sequencing midi drums with Reaper (part 1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn6JuXZ2nE4
Sequencing Drums Part 1 for Cockos Reaper DAW shows you how to set up the virtual instrument, route it through multi-channel and parent the tracks.
Utilizing Toontrack's EZ Drummer 2, Paul guides you through the process of creating your first simple drum beat. He also touches upon the use of velocity to add more dynamics to the beat as well as increasing the complexity of the beat.
Although this series uses Reaper and EZ Drummer 2, the principals should translate to any DAW without too much of a problem.
2. Reaper Quick Tips: Hide Inactive Takes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfKezLUJ2vE
Cockos Reaper Quick Tips: This short video tip shows you how to quickly and easily show or hide your inactive takes in a recording / mixing session.
A great way to de-clutter your session without losing the ability to go back and swap takes later.
--------------------------------
Please feel free to comment, like and Subscribe to the YouTube Channel and be kept up to date when the next video is added :0)
