It's astounding how much value you are adding to the package for Reaper. I've downloaded the trial and I was kind of on the fence until I found your tutorials. Now I'm buying in and it's absolutely because your tutorials are adding so much value to the software. Nice work
Wow! I have been using Reaper, for primarily MIDI work, since version 5.something, and have never even looked at the humanize function, relying on quantization to fix my horrible keyboard playing, but only applying a bit, and trying to get it to sound like a person instead of a sequencer. Thank you for (yet) another tool for my toolbox. KG is the GOAT!!!
Humanize in Reaper is not something new to me! But when he said "hit [Ctrl+I] for inverting the selection", I have almost fell from my chair! LOL...That's why I always watch every new video by Kenny!
This guy knows how to tutorial. Great explanations, to the point, and with a delivery that keeps your attention. Thank you for providing so much value to all Reaper users.
All this time I've been editing one note at a time. I had no idea reaper had these options. So awesome. Will save so much time.thanks slot ken ,you rock brother.
I'm learning reaper and I used a midi keyboard for the drums, I was reading on internet how to make them and one suggestion was to use the "humanize tool" and now kenny upload this video. Thanks Kenny!
Possibly my favourite video on Reaper. Sometimes, I don't even bother to record live bass. Instead, I'll notate it in Musescore (free), save it as a midi file and import it into Reaper, add a bass plugin and then humanise it. All ready for processing.
Very useful feature. Alway wondered where the random velocity feature was hidden. Very powerful tool to start using today. Extremely helpful. THANK YOU Kenny.
The more I learn about Reaper, the better it is! And Kenny, you;'re the guy who unlocks this stuff for so many of us out here - thanks again for another brilliant tutorial!
Very interesting and useful. Reaper combines functions of DAWs specialized in midi like Sonar or Ableton in a very ingenious way. I am happy and I congratulate the programmers of this DAW that they have taken into account that the music is something human and the emotion is an important element in the musical composition. We cannot be robots ... in this field, it is certainly not desirable ...
It's been a while since I've been recording but getting back into the swing of things and likely using some electronic drums for the first time ever. I wouldn't be surprised if the last video I watched about recording was a Kenny video on Beat Detective getting closer to 10 years ago. Wild. Keep going, buddy.
Hi Kenny. Thanks for your great dissemination videos! I'm a REAPER beginner and your videos are absolutely clear and dense of information. I have a question: the nice horizontal piano roll that appears at the beginning of the video is part of REAPER? I like because colorize pressed keys and show the octave (C4....). Or it's a VST? BTW, personal question are your ancestors from Italy? I'm asking because Gioia is an Italian word/surname. Thanks for your huge work! Giorgio (I'm from Italy btw)
Just one voice in the wind suggesting your old theme music was absolute gold. As in perfect, a unique signature like no one else’s. New one is just meh like everyone. I’m being completely sincere.
I don't know if it is good wirth Reaper but you can also use Stochas software that i think is free i don't remember, and helps a lot in humanizing, randomize midi, take a look, and add it to this great Reaper tools, Reaper is amazing and your videos too!!!
I have heard a music youtuber that I like advising people never to quantize all the way up to 100% but between 80 to 95% to keep to performance human. I wonder which technic is the most efficient. Not quantizing completely is a way to keep some small human mistakes in without having to spend too much time adjusting the humanizer settings. Anybody here using one technique more than the other ?
Your tutorials are great, I just wish you'd adjust the gate on your mic to off. You get cutoff at the beginning of each phrase as if there was a gate set too high. I still learn a lot from your videos though.
This is awesome! Sometimes I create drum parts in Anvil and then insert them into tracks with a drum plugin (MT Powerdrumkit2). Problem is my midi drum loops sound robotic. Do you have a tutorial specifically for midi drums? Thanks!
Is it possible to create an icon button in the top row with all the other shortcut buttons like, for instance, legato and step recording? Kenny didn't mention that. - PS - It's OK. I've done it. Odd he didn't mention.
Studio one has you beat on how intuitive all of this is, but Reaper has StudioOne beat on 3rd party VSTs and affordability. Is the learning curve worth it? Let’s just say I bought reaper instead of paying 80$ for 3rd party VSTs.
Personally, I thought it was good on the initial recording. All the playing about with quantize and randomization actually made it lose the sad feel. Simple reason for that is than a descending pattern of notes (at the end of each 4 Bars in this case) needs to progressively lag in timing. That's not just me, it's the way the human brain perceives sadness in music.
Hi, how can I control de velocity not to clip? I humanized some midi track and rendered it. afterwards I realized it surpassed some times 0db... Hope you can help me and thanks for your tutorials
Thanks Kenny. My only question is how random is random? What I mean is I had a cd player once that would repeat a track when I had it on random play. Because it was totally random.
It's astounding how much value you are adding to the package for Reaper. I've downloaded the trial and I was kind of on the fence until I found your tutorials. Now I'm buying in and it's absolutely because your tutorials are adding so much value to the software. Nice work
agree 100% Kenny is dah bomb!
True story
How I take it is the value of REAPER is a steal (for the $60 license) and then Kenny just maximizes it.
Sorry I'm WAYYYY late, but doing the same. I switched to a Mac to reduce latency and switch from Mixcraft to Reaper. His tutorials are amazing
Honestly, you have one of the most helpful channels on RUclips
Wow!

This is massively important for drums. If you have two hits on toms at the same time, they sound 10 times bigger if they've been humanized.
Humanize in Reaper is not something new to me! But when he said "hit [Ctrl+I] for inverting the selection", I have almost fell from my chair! LOL...That's why I always watch every new video by Kenny!
You are reading my mind! I just took a break from editing MIDI drums, wondering about humanizing, and this appears... Thanks!
This guy knows how to tutorial. Great explanations, to the point, and with a delivery that keeps your attention. Thank you for providing so much value to all Reaper users.
Kenny the GOAT! No matter what issue I'm trying to figure out in Reaper, you've already made a video about it. Many many thanks Kenny, you the man
All this time I've been editing one note at a time. I had no idea reaper had these options. So awesome. Will save so much time.thanks slot ken ,you rock brother.
I'm learning reaper and I used a midi keyboard for the drums, I was reading on internet how to make them and one suggestion was to use the "humanize tool" and now kenny upload this video. Thanks Kenny!
bro just blew my mind... i've been quantizing by hand for the last two years lmfao thank you
Possibly my favourite video on Reaper. Sometimes, I don't even bother to record live bass. Instead, I'll notate it in Musescore (free), save it as a midi file and import it into Reaper, add a bass plugin and then humanise it. All ready for processing.
Very useful feature. Alway wondered where the random velocity feature was hidden. Very powerful tool to start using today. Extremely helpful. THANK YOU Kenny.
You.....are one of MY....favourite Reaper tutors....because...You Talk.......like Christopher Walken....🙂
Great advice. This is especially effective on drum parts, which tend to sound inhuman and "jack-hammer-ish" at fast tempos.
The more I learn about Reaper, the better it is! And Kenny, you;'re the guy who unlocks this stuff for so many of us out here - thanks again for another brilliant tutorial!
Wow there's so many features in Reaper that are leagues ahead of Ableton

Thanks for this tutorial! My midi drums were sounding like a machine until I took what I learned from this video and applied it!
It's been a while since I've been recording but getting back into the swing of things and likely using some electronic drums for the first time ever. I wouldn't be surprised if the last video I watched about recording was a Kenny video on Beat Detective getting closer to 10 years ago. Wild. Keep going, buddy.
Thanks Kenny for all your efforts (tuts)!..
I learnt many things, and will definitely be using it. Thanks once again, Kenny.
Always learning with these tutorials. Thanks, Kenny. 👍
Great video. Especially the invert selection using Ctrl + I !
Reaper's the Best, forget the Rest, And Kenny is the God of Reaper. Tq man for sharing.

Thanks Kenny, nicely done.
Kenny your videos are a huge help brother.
Kenny gioia is the bromance I have never met
Great use of this function.
I have to admit, I up-voted this video before watching because Kenny is just that good! :)
I so badly needed this video today...my MIDI drums are way too robotic, especially for the very human guitar and bass parts I play.
Brilliant! thank you Kenny
Your channel is a goldmine. Thank you!
Thank you, Kenny!
I love your tuts.. Thanks for your great efforts for sharing your knowledge for free. I bougght reaper because of your detailed explanations sir!
Without Kenny there is no reaper.
Great stuff! Thanks, Kenny!
I don't know if it is good wirth Reaper but you can also use Stochas software that i think is free i don't remember, and helps a lot in humanizing, randomize midi, take a look, and add it to this great Reaper tools, Reaper is amazing and your videos too!!!
Very useful tutorial, thanks a lot
Brilliant!
Kenny Gioia for president!
This is great, thank you!
Humanize is very well implemented.
you the man kenny!
You don’t give yourself enough credit as a piano player!
Always my saver. thank you
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
Hey! Thanks so much for this video!
Thank you!
Fantastic video you must be the best.
7-14-21 como Kenny no hay ninguno
Thanks a lot!
Kenny deserves a Grammy!

Really wish Kenny would do a tutorial on my life. It would make more sense that way.
Muito bem. Muito bem.
Great!
Your tutorials are great, I just wish you'd adjust the gate on your mic to off. You get cutoff at the beginning of each phrase as if there was a gate set too high. I still learn a lot from your videos though.
Thx man 🙏 very useful
Good tutorial man but the crackling drives me mad :D I think your buffer size should be uppded just a tiny bit =)
Is there a way to automatically get a new seed for every repetition of the part, if I glue and extend it?
This is awesome! Sometimes I create drum parts in Anvil and then insert them into tracks with a drum plugin (MT Powerdrumkit2). Problem is my midi drum loops sound robotic. Do you have a tutorial specifically for midi drums? Thanks!
Youre too kind sure and i hope every your video adding some advertise commercial
Doe, how get you this amazing piano roll under the screen ? How can i get that ? Thank you by advance.
"as you can tell its not perfect, It isnt even very good"
Well I thought it was good...
Is it possible to create an icon button in the top row with all the other shortcut buttons like, for instance, legato and step recording? Kenny didn't mention that. - PS - It's OK. I've done it. Odd he didn't mention.
Wasn't human already in the beginning, since you played it?
Studio one has you beat on how intuitive all of this is, but Reaper has StudioOne beat on 3rd party VSTs and affordability.
Is the learning curve worth it?
Let’s just say I bought reaper instead of paying 80$ for 3rd party VSTs.
Hi there! How did you made that such good looking keyboard? It's a reaper skin, extension or third party soft?
Third party software called Synthesia.
@@REAPERMania Thanks a lot!
I'm wondering what caused the C note in bar 2 to move by itself at 3:24
Hi kenny trying to find a video on importing a project into reaper, does'nt seem to be any
Personally, I thought it was good on the initial recording. All the playing about with quantize and randomization actually made it lose the sad feel. Simple reason for that is than a descending pattern of notes (at the end of each 4 Bars in this case) needs to progressively lag in timing. That's not just me, it's the way the human brain perceives sadness in music.
Hey is it possible to select/humanize more than 4 bars at once?
Hi, how can I control de velocity not to clip? I humanized some midi track and rendered it. afterwards I realized it surpassed some times 0db... Hope you can help me and thanks for your tutorials
Gain staging sir. At highest velocity I keep it around -6db before the render.
@@djtripnosys thanks 👍🏼
is there a way to cancel humanization? when you're out of Undo charges
Quanitize?
Thanks Kenny. My only question is how random is random? What I mean is I had a cd player once that would repeat a track when I had it on random play. Because it was totally random.
It's based on a specific seed, so it's not exactly random.
