Dude I’ve been using my steam deck like that for 5 years now and it’s a consistent game changer my workflow has drastically improved since!!💯

Thanks for pulling back the curtains! Awesome setup!

Nowhere near as fancy but I use a novation pad mini for similar features. Linked up to auto hot key scripts it works pretty well for opening plugins and windows and all sorts of goodness

Streamdeck is the best piece of hardware I have bought in the last 5 years. Such a time saver.

Thanks for the video. Thinking of either getting the stream deck xl or possibly the stream deck + (maybe the knobs can be helpful for some stuff). Can you elaborate which action is the "release solo" one? I can't find it under that name in the Reaper action list and I'm struggling to find a similar action.

That's some pretty damned clever stuff. I like it, and would love to see more like this.

Really interesting to see, thanks Wytse. Given me a few ideas 😁

6:13 I'm looking at this as somekind of a "shortcut" panel. I know you like the "hands on" type of things, but a panel like this, if integrated in the software looks like a great thing. You still have to use the mouse though.

super cool! I didnt know about these stream decks.. looks like a lot of fun : )

im using it for my ableton shortcuts and for my plugins. perfect tool :D

Could you let me know how you set up the Reaper button? I can set up buttons when reaper is running but is there a way companion could connect to the OS?

ANOTHER great review...have a streamdeck already an love it

This is like a touch style version of the Reaper toolbar. The mouse still works for me, but my goofing around isn't as complex as your work is. I might just get a Streamdeck because I like to push buttons. 🤪

Does this work with logic pro and also what are your views about stream deck plus

Actually doing this with various controller for the last 20 years. Its all about your workflow.

You can actually add the plugin to the actions window by just clicking create shortcut like you did in the video but Instead of clicking ok, click cancel. Now you will have no more needs to delete the commands and the plugin will still be there in the actions window. Awesome vid as always!

I grabbed the phone app, because I have a folding phone, and I thought I was good, but then I just kept having to re-open the app anytime I left it. I admit you are indeed mixing faster than me

That's pretty impressive.

I have a RME UFX III. What is your opinion on the Ferrofish Pulse 16MX for getting extra I/O for hardware inserts or do you think there is something better to use?

Brilliant tip!

The ability to add a plugin to a selected track in reaper is fucking amazing. Also the comment event. Cubase has notes as I'm sure other daws do but just in a little note tab on the channel and not IN the project timeline where you actually fucking need it hahah. Reapers doing so many things right.

Icon came out with a line up of daw controllers that have all the usual things like transport controls and motorized faders. But they also added a section that’s basically a stream deck built in. Giving you over 80 extra assignable buttons that can be named just like the stream deck. 5 banks of 16 to 24 led buttons depending on the unit you choose. As much as I like ssl’s, I think the icon v1-m and the MP Midi you reviewed a while ago may be the best controller set up to date. Simply because of how universal they are.

Great use of the Streamdesk 👌🏼❤

Stream Deck is a cool tool in the studio workflow - have you tested the Stream Deck with knobs?

As for the mute or delete icons for say FX or whatever, how about "FX" with a red line across it for mute and "FX" with a red circle with a line across it for delete....

I have a second stream deck+ to switch pages on the big streamdeck.

I use similar but with touch portal on a tablet, touch portal is still so under-rated

This crazy. Buying.

Soo, what about making gpi/tally lights on the eq rack that can (color)match the channel in reaper. It is possible in companion 😬

impressive workflow, its overwhelming for me to find my workflow or idk organize shit maybe ill start with a custom startup project file

Is it really quicker than just knowing your shortcuts on a keyboard?

Ahh, how I wish Cubase would let you just insert plugins via Stream Deck...

I have many questions... In Companion, how come you are using OSC and not a HotKey shortcut thingy?

Very nice, wytse! I have streamdeck but i havent been able to get state feedback from reaper to my streamdeck. But ddidnlt know companion so will try that.

You need one more thing...the Nob Controller. You would love it!

Since you'll always be sending audio to hardware, and never recording from a hardware input, why not create a custom action that will do all your output routing and your solo safe and then recall a track template with that specific input and already record armed? That way with one single button you'd be setting outputs and then recalling inputs. If you don't like the idea of a track template you can just insert a new track below the selected track, then set all its inputs. Basically all those actions you're doing via Companion condensed into one single custom action.

lua is a pretty sweet beginner friendly language. I made a simple point and click shooter with lua :3

It’s really funny how on one side we have AI that can determine semantics and on the other hand we have to still wrestle with stuff like this all the time cause apparently just no one has ever done this before for whatever reason. Like flying rockets to mars before inventing bicycles

“I actually don’t know what this line is” You sound like a programmer to me

So much more interesting than influencer-style 'content'. Skill sharing > opinion

Ableton users just spit our drinks, you can't mix faster than us, you're delirious.

Just press cancel after you create the shortcut. It is already created. No need to assign a key.

Lewitt shirt?

LOL you described a programmers daily routine

👍👍👍

LOL cute new title. I've been mixing live since the 80s, and have an MCU and Maschine Jam in Live. Wanna race a mix? ;) I can mix it as fast as you can play it lol.

These tasks just scream AI to me in stead of having to program and route everything on companion. It is baffles me how we spend billions letting AI do all kinds of complex tasks when there is so much low hanging fruit like this

why rush such a cool personal art form. don’t care how fast u can go or how dumb your masterclickbates are. just mix and stop you toobing then

try - fail - try - fail - try - fail - try SUCCESS. it's called hacking. you're a hacker!

Omg, Reaper has a Mixer Window like Pro Tools? I'm fucking switching! Hate Cubase setup is too cluttered and you can't switch it. I want 2 seperate edit and mix windows since I grew up on and, learned on, and mixed on PT for years and years and years(it was the only one for 30yrs about.

Check if a track has any media on it: -- Get the selected track local track = reaper.GetSelectedTrack(0, 0) -- Assuming the first selected track if track then -- Check if the track contains any media items local numItems = reaper.CountTrackMediaItems(track) if numItems > 0 then -- Track has media items reaper.ShowMessageBox("Track has media items.", "Track Check", 0) else -- Track is empty reaper.ShowMessageBox("Track is empty.", "Track Check", 0) end else -- No track selected reaper.ShowMessageBox("No track selected.", "Track Check", 0) end
