Global Sampler is something I have attempted myself to record Reaper's output in Audacity for instance. I've often found I get interesting effects from plugins when starting and stopping playback at random but there's no way to render this within Reaper, or whatever your DAW is. Amazing, so glad I found this. Thanks

Neat. Just getting back up and running for game audio. Thanks for sharing it all. This is going to be way more fun than my last game audio project(~5 years ago), and I used regions for most of that.

It's even better if you put Global Sampler on the Monitoring FX! Then it also records when you 'scrub' (ctrl+middle mouse button) or do other stuff in Reaper without actually pressing space bar.

I'm so surprised you're using Mac! I'm a long time Mac user but looking to switch to PC because it runs UE4 miles better and I can game on it too, have you considered switching?

I have both! Mac is where 100% of my sound design + creation happens, and I have a gaming PC specifically for UE4 for the exact reasons you mentioned! That said, I didn't even have a PC for a very very long time and it worked out fine!

@flamesintheattic 26 күн бұрын
For global sampler you can put it in your monitor fx instead of the master track since a lot of people never use monitor fx and you can forget about it. I don't really get the point of Content Navigator.. how it different from just using the track manager?
@AkashThakkarAudio 26 күн бұрын
Yup! I show that Monitoring FX off in another video. Track Manager is fine, but the content navigator is infinitely faster when you have hundreds of tracks.
@southgeorge Жыл бұрын
You should put the global sampler listener on your monitoring fx insead of master chain, more CPU efficient (and tidier) EDIT; yeah and just saw the other comment with another important advantage
@southgeorge Жыл бұрын
Also worth editing the script to increase the recording time as 60s is a bit short
@southgeorge Жыл бұрын
All of birdbirds scripts are so excellent (and beautiful). Item modifiers is insane. And I have a minimised fx inspector + fx parameters docked to the left which replicates the way bitwig presents tweaking of plugins.

Hey for anyone, is there an equivalent to reasons Combinator? I want to switch but tbh, I need that ability to layer instruments and effects.
@AkashThakkarAudio Жыл бұрын
There's nothing *exactly* the same, but there are few things to look into like Kilohertz's Snap Heap. If you really love combinator and use it all the time, though, I would just buy the Reason Rack plugin that lets you use Reason's effects, synths, and plugins in any DAW and work that way.

@@Byron101_different strokes. Cubase and Reaper are right next to each other in terms of sound designer flexibility. The big issue with cubase for me was cubase's stability and redundancy of the interface. The plugin window, inspector, midi editor and arrangement had too much clutter that I couldn't get rid of. Cubase's stock plugins are kinda trash ngl. 3rd party all the way.
