I switched from Pro Tools to Reaper last month - am absolutely loving working in Reaper.

If you take pictures of your analog gear settings there is a vst you can insert to the chain to store the pictures of the settings. Its called snapshot by non-lethal applications.

how to make more MONEY using ANALOG GEAR?! - Sell ANALOG GEAR?

Reaper is the gift that keeps on giving. Many times while watching this kind of thing I have to sit back and marvel at the genius of the initial architecture design. This is what has led us to v6 where everything is now polished, and you can achieve almost anything you can imagine in a DAW if you're prepared to stretch your mind. Really enjoyed the vid and presentation style, thanks!

If you use your analog gear to record “takes”, you can make a pass with chorus settings, verse settings, intro-outro settings and swipe a composite. This allows you easily use your gear to create dynamics, pump, and movement in the different parts of you arrangement with each pass and try out the different passes in a comp.

Thank you. Definitely love tips specific to the hybrid mixing process and making things more efficient for recalls, staying organized, etc.

It's not a bug, it's called overdubbing.

Having analog console in your studio pic is a good selling point for studio marketing. Looks more sexier - catches more customers!

Been looking for this feature for ages! Thanks for showing us

In Logic Pro we Call it "Alternative Track"

Cool use of takes to keep it all in one channel. Right-click over the record button of any channel and you have the option of recording the channel output.

If you set new recording creates new media items instead, then those items become completely independent. You can even delete the original source track and the new recording remains.

Another great and interesting video! What do you recommend for single or dual channel mic pre's?

I think you can record up to 64 'takes' per track, there are videos which explain the possibility's, like recording multiple takes of multiple mic'd drums, for comping together-it can get confusing though. Definitely a feature that has been well worked out though.

When he said "sooo" after the intro I was sure he was about to start singing Blue (abi di aba di)

"We are living in a digital world"... My mind: "And I am a digital giiiiirrrrrrllllllll!".

In Pro Tools you can also record multiple takes in one track. You can find these then in the playlist on the right side of your screen.

Been working in a similar way for the last 2-3 years. I've got a simple Reaper macro set up so that I can just hit "i" and it will add ReaInsert at the end of the FX chain of the currently selected track AND Airwindows StudioTan for a colored dither on the signal that's being converted down from 64 float to 24 fixed point (so literally just a macro to add StudioTan and ReaInsert in that order). I still create a new track and record (without monitoring) the return channels on that while monitoring the channel that Reinsert is on. Could be streamline even more but even as-is it's really quick to set up hardware inserts in an ITB mix or add hardware aux sends (in that case I add a new track, add a hardware insert by pressing "i" while that track is selected, and then treat it like any other fully ITB aux send until I get the mix where I want it, at which point I record the output of that track and then bypass the insert - pretty basic stuff really but Reaper makes it very natural and quick). most of the time I'm either inserting hardware compressors, using hardware reverb on an aux send, or routing the master buss through the Otari MX5050. Once I sat down and spent a little time figuring out a workflow, it made using hardware in an ITB mix almost as seamless as using plugins. Hopefully I explained that in a way that makes sense. I don't really like using takes in Reaper. They're useful but it's too easy to accidentally select a different take while selecting a clip[ on the timeline. When I DO use takes, as soon as I have a take (or a comp of multiple takes) that I like I'll use "crop to current take" in the item right click menu to convert the clip in question from a multi-take thing to a regular clip of the good take(s). the sooner I can get i of multi-take clips on the timeline the happier I am.

The guys behind Reaper should really take these macros that people make and consider making them a simple button for everybody to use when they open Reaper for the first time.

I like analog gear, but more for tracking. If you wanna do something like that in Cubase (Pro only) it's quite easy. You can setup analog gear as insert and of course print that at any time.

The answer is clear, just make better results! But seriously I'm very interested in this, I've been trying to get the analogue sound on the way in, using hardware when recording - I've honestly never yet bounced anything out of Logic (with the handy I/O plugin) for more analog processing - would be fun to try! I'm wondering how many generations you can go to before the D/A then A/D starts to degrade the sound?

I love this. I would absolutely sponsor you on patreon for these type of reaper videos

Saw the title, got the answer: Sell it :D

Nice trick, I have used Bomes Midi Translator Pro to make a mackie compatible control surface (Korg Nano Studio) usable for Audacity and Adobe Premiere Elements. These applications don't support this by them selves but it makes them faster to use by assigning keyboard shortcuts to midi events.

I like the tip suggestions like this, although I currently work only ITB. But, not having used Reaper before, I'm wondering if this is just like Logic Pro's "Take" folder with alternative takes. You could keep earlier unprocessed takes lower in the folder so that isn't heard in the mix.

cmd alt R (ctrl alt R on PC) on selected track with ReaInsert plugin on - render to file - (selected stems, add rendered item to new tracks in project) renders hardware in real time providing you have a proper compensation measured or your interface gives you good automatic readings. You can create a child track, insert ReaInsert, send tracks you want to be fx-ed to that track and render reverb etc.

How I approached the same thing.... Made a custom action for realtime freezing Set render speed to realtime Freeze to stereo Set render speed to not limited Added it as a custom button to HeDa Track Inspector and use its track versions to manage before and after versions Track inspector is amazing, you should check it out. The Version system lets you view and hide multiple versions of a track

With Cubase you can do all those things without any plug ins, just with hardware inserts. At least from Cubase 5, don't know about earlier versions

Great video, Dutch Mark Arm!

Great - have started to integrate analog gear, too now with ReaInsert, now I have to spend a lot of brain about that routing on my Fireface UCX, hahaha

One thing I found out and may be help others is that the Reaper pan law have a effect on the level of new recorded take from track output, any setting accept +0.0db on pan law option will turn down new recorded take set amount, for example if we have pan law set to -3.0, new take from track output will be -3.0 quieter. The only thing I found that stop this happening is to have gain compensation (boost pan) on. I may be wrong but this is what I saw doing my own tests, hope it could help someone and correct me if I am wrong.

S1 layers? Usually do this sort of thing through the Audio interface mixer nowadays. Metric Halo MIO console is great, especially the new 3d, route anything to everything and back. In DP there used to be the option to create track from layer, which was or is really useful.

What is SWS in reaper? When I try to make that toolbar the sws ones don't show up

Do you still use this method? I’m just now realizing it’s not ideal for automation, unless I’m missing something. I’m looking for the best way to mix through the desk, but also be able to do client recalls with ease.

Is this automatically delay compensated? Reaper seems great for this kind of thing but man, I would need a tech to do all this for me.

Here's something for your Snake Oil... ò.ò ... I'm wondering have you ever tried the Gullfoss (Intelligent Equalizer)...!? by Soundtheory. Just wondering if you've ever come across it and what you think. Would love to know. P.S. Loved the video about the monitor controllers being as I'm seriously thinking of getting something that will suffice, I now have two sets of monitors and need something that switches between them and controls the Volume. So I found that very helpful hopefully, I'll make the right decision.

What is this song Wytse! I couldn't find it on KZfaq, what's the name?

Seems like you might wanna check out Lokasenna's Track Versions script for this workflow. It's supposed to work like Protools Playlist...

Does anyone use Reaper with the Cranborne 500r8? I'm having a hell of a time trying to insert a preamp into my session. I'm very new to using DAW's for the record if it wasn't obvious.

😎cool feature

You can hide and make inactive in reaper. View-track manager - you can hide it there, mute makes the track inactive.

Hello, I'm fairly new to Reaper. I started running it on a PC and everything ran great. Now, I run it to a Mac and even upgraded to Reaper V7.03 and have problems getting signal for my analog inputs (level meter does not move and recorded audio is silent/empty). Could anybody point me in the right direction? I did some troubleshooting as follows: - cable connections are good - correct audio device is selected in preferences/audio/device - the track is armed - the correct input is selected - On my audio interface loop-back mixer, I can see the signal meter moving for both inputs - Volume levels are high enough on the inputs to capture signal Am I missing anything? Please help! Thanks!

Just bought first outboard gear Warm Audio EQP-PA to use to mix with reaper and I could not make sense of this video at all.

Thank you for showing how this is done properly! But it's strange that ReaInsert can't render/apply FX in realtime...I hope they consolidate this feature so recording won't be necessary anymore!

How are you compensating for the I/O latency?

I switched to Reaper a half year ago and I'm quite new on it. It seems Reaper has almost endless possibilities to make things happen.

Original track becomes a reference to the new working track.

I Am waiting an mpressor 500!! Looking foward to xfilter xD

I prefer external and usually analog gear but the holy grail of instant recall between different projects, whilst still retaining all raw takes and having the flexibility to adjust any aspect of a sound, which means using midi a lot, with different midi support, is just .. routing and organisational headache. Brain at 100% cpu for 70 years before getting any music done.

I mean you could rent it out... thats a solid way to make money purely off of analog gear. You dont even have to use it yourself!

This video is snake oil.

Check out Snapshot from Non-Lethal, to save your pictures in DAW

Je "analoge" gevoel klopt helemaal, volg je gevoel en daarbij, serieuze klanten weten dat analoog echte werkelijk kwaliteit levert!

It's not a bug.

do you still track like this?

Of course pro tools studio one and logic also can do it !!!

I think you should be using Dante.

Lol, I basically made the same video a few weeks back for Cubase (and more specific to re-amping). Cubase' Render-in-Place feature makes it even more simple.

You're awesome. I have a question. What's your position on keeping mixdowns and masters in the daw and prioritizing your income into VSTs instead of hardware. At my post production studio job, I've been kinda forced to keep my mixes in my laptop, so I rely completely on vsts to get my job done. If anything, having a good room and monitors is most important to me so I know where my mix stands. Will hardware give me an advantage over vsts for time honored mixing techniques and traditions?

digital is better because everyone use it.i never went to a record store and ask the sale's man was this song recorded analog and they say no and I don't buy the song that I really like.peace.

Wow so not what I was hoping.

just figured this trick out today! resampled through my Audio Interface with a slight boost on the channel input gain to achieve some beautiful analog soft-clipping

I find it so hard to decipher what your are saying...♫♪♫♪

I thouhgt I understood something but your hardware inputs and outputs are the same. I just don't understand that part at all... Are you not using an "effects loop". What is this video about?

Routing not rooting btw. You pronounce routing just the same way as you would in Dutch.

You are funny (saying it sarcastically !!! I couldn't stop laughing !!LOL!!

I feel sorry for people still using pro tools. After switching to Reaper PT is a joke.

Humans hear analogue. Less components is better. So analogue chain is best.

Maybe reaper should make something like Pipeline recently added in Studio One. www.soundonsound.com/techniques/pipeline-xt-integrating-outboard-studio-one. You even get to save the settings photo in the plugin

Reaper is the DAW for rebels

I voted dislike because of the click bait title. It doesn't matter that you apologize in the beginning of the video. The video was a waste time since it only related to the software you using. Cubase has that stuff built in from the start, so it is a waste of time for me to watch this.
