E.g. in a performance without a click track (like the last one in this video), is there a way to select the whole thing and have Reaper try to detect the tempo / tempo changes based on transients and then place the tempo markers accordingly?

    so I managed to build a tempo map to a stems project for one of my artists "after the fact". Now what do I change if I want to affect the actual tempo of everything by changing the bpm in a section? In cubase we have a command "apply project tempo" which "Bakes in" the bpm into the wav files. how do you do it in reaper?

  • @Mefiozaur
    @Mefiozaur 6 лет назад +2

    To be honest I was expecting more creativity from Reaper crew eg. running a song in a mode where you manually hit spaces for each measure start. In such method you would have the guaranttee that the max time it would take is the song duration and you won't forget about any strange changes/inconsistences in the middle of a song. However, Reaper with its 10MB installer is the best DAW ever done.

    Hi Kenny I have been trying to apply this to free MIDI recording (without metronome)... Project settings timebase for items: Time and recording with the Tempo set to approx tempo.
    Then selecting some beats, creating a time selection... MIDI events always speed up or slow down according to the calculated tempo.
    The tutorial does not seem to work on MIDI items or am I missing something?
    I could, of course, render the MIDI part to audio and then apply the tutorial on the rendered Audio file... but, I'd like to be able to keep the original MIDI in it's originally recorded tempo...
    Help... please? :-)

    • @TheShadowblast123
      @TheShadowblast123 5 лет назад

      Audio time base is actually in samples, hence why audio tempo independence (having out of time audio) is possible. The time base for midi however is ticks. Ticks that are set by the tempo. Midi is tempo dependent thus you cannot do this to midi

    This made me remember something I had a go at a long while back.
    A friend once recorded himself playing a piano piece (this was in Logic, though that is not relevant). Is there a way to do this tempo mapping given a midi file recorded freeform where the tempo in the DAW was 120bpm (say). Back then I gave up on this.
    Your video makes me think it's at least doable given Reaper. I'm thinking that you'd need to bounce the midi to audio (piano vst or just a short sharp synth pluck); then tempo map the audio, and then export project midi to get the tempo map in a .mid file, then use a short script in python (and possibly midicsv) to do a bit of number crunching: take the original .mid data, with a fixed tempo, to calculate the clock time of each note as a decimal number of seconds, then go through the tempo map file, calculate the clock time of each tempo change, to work out which notes go where, and then convert things back to musical time (beats). One of these days I may have a go at actually doing this.

  • @JoeCoutureMusicCouture
    @JoeCoutureMusicCouture 2 года назад

    Not sure if this is the best place to ask a question... I was using tempo mapping to work with some fermata(s). It worked perfectly but when I rendered it I had to go a little past the first fermata (instead of beat 3 I had to go to beat 3.25 or so to enable it to render correctly). It kept eliminating the note with the fermata (the "slowed down" note). Not sure if it's because of my old kerosene powered laptop or if there is some sort of bug. On just the first fermata I had to also put a slower tempo to achieve the same length as the rest of the fermati(?) in the song. Any suggestions about this or would you suggest a different method? Thank you so much & I always look to your videos to get things done!

    hi kenny. when you import multitracks into reaper, reaper plays the song at the set tempo of the actual song regardless of the bpm being at 120. that's all well and good untill it comes to editing when the click doesn't match. if you change the bpm in reaper it speeds up the imported audio. is there a way of turning this setting off?

  • @feelthewyrd

    why doesnt this work on MIDI recorded tracks?? How can i do this for a midi track? Every time i try this the grid moves/changes BUT the midi moves/changes too, (after the tempo point).. AAARRGGG I changed the project settings but it still does it.
    I can get it to work by converting the midi to audio .........but of course i want to preserve the midi.
    SOLVED.... this video is for audio only. With midi recordings done without a click track/metronome we can extend or compress a midi take without altering the pitch, or cutting, or adding space/previously edited out notes ... BY ALT and DRAG of the selection end or beginning, instead of just drag. PHEW! Using alt+drag on a midi recording easily fits the selection to bar ending and/or beginning. Pitch is not altered because midi has no pitch.

  • @MrMetalclay
    @MrMetalclay 8 лет назад

    Hey Kenny! Instead of healing your splits and doing manual re-alignments AFTER that could potentially mess up your nice tight tempo mapping, keep the splits and after making your tempo adjustments, move the track items with snap enabled: the splits will serve as guides. Then, heal the splits. :D

    Hi Kenny, I've gone through many of your videos and tried many things to correct a problem I have. I have a drum track that was apparently taken from guitar hero: ruclips.net/video/Ab6IAPBuCD8/видео.html Then I have the original track ruclips.net/video/X_1G8ICaG5s/видео.html Now I've converted both tracks to wave format and added both tracks into reaper. The first drums only track starts off a few bars from the original which is no problem to move. My problem is as the two tracks play they gradually start to go out of time with each other. Can you point me in the right direction as to which of your videos applies to this problem? I'm trying to do a drum cover of the song. Regards Mark
