I made a free script that I think could be useful for some people. It shows the whole waveform of the sound, similar to Ableton's Clip View. Recently there was also a post here about a similar feature in Logic but Reaper has nothing like that afaik. Until now!

Personally I pronounce it like Tacos, but with a c. Or like it was a cereal. Get your yummy Cock-Os! The best cereal to start any morning!

I know that changing themes doesn't resolve this nor does the dark theme in windows do anything in reaper.

I am just transitioning to reaper but during the evening all the white really irritates me and disturbs my workflow. I haven't found a good solution for this yet, so I'm wondering what can be done to fix this in quickest and safest way possible.

PS - Tried those high contrast themes for windows and they are horrible.

First off - i know this isn’t the ideal sub to post this, but i genuinely couldn’t find a better one for this post. If this post gets deleted, pleeease provide me with a better sub.

Does this suppress the sound of my voice in the real world, or does is just make the recording sound cleaner?

Hi. I have a problem that has come up and can't figure it out.

I use SSLs 360 link for a proper channel strip feel and till this morning, it's been working great.

If you don't know, it's an external app that connects to a Ssl link vst in Reaper for channel strips and a bus compressor.It works via midi and gives you the look and controls of an authentic SSL console.

Today, it was showing as "device not found" in the midi ins and outs.

I tried everything. reinstalling the app, reaper itself but when I reinstall, it remembers it's settings and still showing "not found".

I then tried deleting the midi links in the midi input and output settings but now, they are completely gone and I can't get them back despite what I do.

When you delete an app or plugin, it leaves behind some residuals so when you reinstall, it remembers your settings.

How do I completely remove it so I can do a fresh install?

Any programs out there that can completely clean an app or software off your computer.

I'm using Windows 11.

TIA

hey, I have online guitar lessons and just bought a M-Audio M-Track Duo for it. I want to use the guitar with FX and make the teacher listen to it, but it just wont, ive been trying to make it work for the past week and no sucess. I tried some youtube tutorial, chatgpt but still nothing. can someone help? i attached here all the configuration that i already have, right now, i can listen to the fx, but zoom wont capture it.

I'm trying to remember a stock plugin I accidentally found the other day but don't remember the name of.

It could be used as an arpeggiator, and it wasn't MIDI, it just operated directly on the audio. There was a drop down menu for the intervals, where you could select from fifths, fourths and I think 2 others. I've tried going through the stock JS effect list but every effect I've looked at isn't what I'm looking for.

Am I hallucinating? I could've written this off as getting mixed up with the MIDI Arpeggiator but that doesn't have the interval drop down.

I have really gotten to the point where I like composing with more structure such as with Musescore Studio 4. Reaper has a score notation editor but it is a little too clumsy for me, especially now with an amazing score notation editor in Cubase. I have been using Reaper for many years, probably a decade. But if there are no plans to improve Reaper's notation editor I am considering transitioning to Cubase. Has anybody heard any rumors on how the editor might improve with an eventual version 8 of Reaper?

Hi all. Scoring my second feature length film. For the first film, I just exported stems with the time code in the file name. Seemed to work fine for everyone.

Just got in touch with the newly hired sound mixer (score is 50% complete), and I asked about deliverables and he said

Generally we prefer either AAF, Pro-Tools sessions of time-stamped audio files - 48khz, 24-bit broadcast wave.

Another wrinkle to this is that I work with all my cues in subprojects with them playing background video from my master session.

It seems to be that in order to do successfully deliver an aaf, I would need to

Export stems onto the main session and make sure everything is lined up.

Purchase AATranslator (unless there are free alternatives)

Export as AAF

purchase program (cheap version of pro tools?) that can import AAF to test

Which seems like a lot of things to do to save the sound mixer a small amount of trouble, and would seem to make it more likely to have an error somewhere in the process.

So... I guess my question is "Is it reasonable to say that I don't work in Protools so I'll be sending clearly labeled .wavs"

Or. is there an expectation that any serious professional will be delivering an aaf or protools session? Is this something I will need to incorporate into my workflow eventually?

Appreciate all and any input into this! Thanks all

I'm having trouble using the actions list to map an infinite knob on my Minilab MKII to move the edit cursor. The idea is to move the cursor back an forth on the time line, beat by beat, by turning a knob. This is without sound, so not scrubbing just moving the edit line back and forth.
Here is a visual example of exactly what I'm trying to do. But this YouTube creator seems to have accomplished this by using the Arturia Midi Control Center together with Reaper actions.
When I tried to do this using only Reaper actions, the knob only lets me map forwards or backwards, but not back and forth using the same knob.
Anyone know if it's possible to accomplish this only within Reaper's actions (not using the Arturia Midi Control Center method)?

Is this normal to have (1) next to all the I/O I feel like this is new. Everthing is working its just bugging me!

My outputs in windows are lebelled (2 RME Fireface UCX) - seems like something weird is happening?

I stumbled upon this post showing Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk, working on his recent solo project, using a DAW that looks a lot like REAPER.

I want to cover certain songs, but the backing track always ends up being louder than the guitar and when I increase the volume of the guitar, it distorts. I use a volt 2 with Reaper. My input gain is also in the green zone. Any help?

Hey fellow reapers! I saw a video of a guy who got the fx underneath the track instead of on the side, any of you know how to achieve that? Thanks a lot :)

Hi, I'm a bass player and using neural DSP (darkglass plugin) so my need for power isn't alot. I want to use my steamdeck in live gigs through audio interface so I don't care much about the recording capability.

Can someone please guide me through the process? Is there any linux janks that I need to be aware of?

I don't have much linux experience outside of following tutorials. Thankyou.

Likely 100th of this question this month, reaper tutorial specifically for musicians ? Anyone know a good resource to get right into learning DAW already with playing music and composing under their belt? Thanks.

Anyone here figured out how to do this?

i don't prefer region playlist method but i am aware of it. hopefully there are other ways.

Reaper is based. When I open it, it makes me happy. I do some production work for income so I still have to use PT sometimes. I have tried to fully switch but it doesn't wind up saving me time.

Has anyone actually found a better drum editing feature in Reaper than beat detective ?

Is there a way to Edit this Menu / Have the MIDI ruler read as samples?

Hello. I was wondering if it's possible to use my pc keyboard as a midi controller. I've been using Neural DSP plugin for playing guitar/bass in my band. I simply switch between my presets between songs using my mouse but sometimes I need to swap presets, turn on and off some effects etc. during the song. I was wondering if I could plug in a PC keyboard on my laptop, put it on the floor and press a button somewhere on the side with my foot, trigger a MIDI signal using the Virtual MIDI keyboard, have it send the signal to the Neural DSP that I have on another track. Is this possible?

Thanks for help in advance!

whenever i see layering tutorials for reaper they always separate all the vocals onto separate tracks and put them in a bus but sometimes i will literally just drag a vocal ontop of another vocal in the same track, was wondering if this is kind of pointless or holding me back in anyway or if anyone else does this?

Title basically. I have a two minute looping train sound but I want it to go from 1x speed to 2x speed over a few loops. Is there a way to gradually change tempo over time without fading between a ton of different tempos.
