Also - would LOVE to see you do a 'getting started with Reaper' as the web is full of older videos and the software has changed. but most importantly, you do such a killer job of explaining things, i think even a dummy like me could get to work with Reaper right away with your guidance. But we all have 'easy ideas' for other people to do, eh? ;)

That’s a great idea! The only thing that has kept me from doing it already is the vastness of what can be done in Reaper. What would you like to see demonstrated in a “getting started” video?

Yes. You can use one speaker, but you’ll probably want headphones for recording so that the backing track isn’t recorded by the vocal microphone.

My plan is to use the Focusrite Solo 4th generation to be the interface between the soundboard and a Win10 laptop using OBS. I am hopeful I can get some feedback on my plan. Your video is superb.

This video is super well-put together, but I'm wondering - do interfaces not usually have some way to output audio directly through the computer speakers when the DAW is open, i.e. are headphones/speakers necessary? I've been struggling for several hours with hearing my guitar through my computer speakers, and I wasn't sure if I literally can't do that, and I need to have headphones/speakers to plug in using the 1/4 inch or RCA cables or whatever

I thought I'd set the sound peaks just right, but in the end I didn't. The problem is that, on FL studio, I have no way of knowing whether "the peaks of [my] signal are about -18 to -12 dB" on the meter. I also realize that I've been given no way of adjusting the feedback delay when I installed my driver. Could someone help me here?

The interface I use is the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 1, and I want to connect my gaming headset (I'll be switching to studio headphones soon). However, this doesn't work as intended. When I plug the 6.35mm jack into the headphone jack of the interface, I get sound, which seems great. But, my system stops receiving sound from the XLR line input until I disconnect the headphones. I've seen recommendations about "routing" the outputs and inputs correctly, but I'm unfamiliar with this term and unsure how to fix it. I hope someone in this great community can help me with this dilemma. Also, is it possible to turn a mono line input, into stereo by tweaking some settings?

Thanks, that is another great video. I've looked into the Radial EXTC already which would be perfect if it was also an interface or could send and receive audio to the DAW via USB. I am using an Apogee Duet as my main interface for guitar in and studio monitors out and have no spare inputs or outputs, therefore trying separately to find an interface that I can use as an outboard FX loop for my pedal shelf/rack - for routing to the DAW as an insert (ideally two channels so I can run pre and post amp pedals via a remote MIDI switcher). The closest thing I have found is the Boss IR-2 although it seems a waste to only use it as an FX loop and I don't know that I can disable both its amp and cab sims together. I might have to bite the bullet and get another primary interface with more IO as well as a reamp box as you suggest. Thanks again, great channel. @@AudioUniversity
