    Why on earth is there background music?

    If you could re upload this video without the background music, that'd be great

    Oh man, that automation on the keyboard transpose is brilliant! Definitely a no-hassle solution for small keyboards. And it makes practicing easier too!

    Cool tips! Hadn't thought of arming every track and using mute automation to switch instruments. Brilliant idea!

      Heh, I feel like it's kinda janky, but it works!
      Only downside I've found to far is that fadeouts aren't possible with mute automation (gotta get into volume automation :( ) and overlapping stuff can be a problem. Also, if you stop the playback, and you just want to hear the instrument (during practice, lets say) you have to place the play cursor over the unmuted portion of the track.
      Honestly, I think record arm automation would be far better. Gottta look into that.

    I use Reaper for both recording and live, it's a great daw 👍
    We pretty much go through the same steps to get the live show runnin' 🍻

    Cool to see someone else using Reaper live!
    John - I'm wondering the same thing he was wondering, is it possible to automate record arming on and off??

    Has Synth1 development been abandoned? It hasn't been updated since 2014. I love that synth and its awesome that VSD does too.

    Great video but what's up with the unnecessary, distracting music bed?

  • @adiero

    Music is too loud. Competing with the voices.

    It seems John Garden has made his videos for setting up reset for live performance private! Is there any way to get ahold of him or are there another way to view that series?

    Smart man, if you are going to use a "crap ton of reverb", Synth1 with its low CPU, is a good call. :P

    gonna make a setup where I do guitar and vocals with the rest of my production in reaper.......... reaper is a godsend as usual (ableton is too expensive and clunky)

    It's not a Reaper question but I hope someone can help me out. I am not sure if he mentioned what sound card he's using that has multiple outputs. What would be the best solution that has 4 analog outputs? I'd like to separate vocal,guitar,backing track and click.

    • @jamesmoon5683
      @jamesmoon5683 7 лет назад

      Most standard audio interfaces will let you do that. I tried a Scarlett 8i6, which runs on a program call Mix Control, and I couldn't get it to work at all. I ended up using my Tascam 1800 and it works great. So most interfaces will do, but I'd be weary of Scarlett stuff. Hope this helps!

    • @VampireStepDad82
      @VampireStepDad82 7 лет назад +4

      I WAS using a TASCAM 16x08, but it gave me all sorts of issues with Windows. I got rid of it. I just got a Focusrite Scarlette, and so far it's been working much better.

    • @TomatoestDuck

      So long as you download the drivers for it, the Behringer UMC 404HD has worked amazing for me and you can technically have 8 outputs (4 outputs mirrored)

  • @jpl1608
    @jpl1608 4 года назад +1

    How do you seperate your tracks into different outputs?

  • @frictionexposition8094
    @frictionexposition8094 7 лет назад +1

    So the guitar goes through guitar rig live? so the latency is ok then?

  • @Alexander-mk4qf
    @Alexander-mk4qf 6 лет назад +2

    markers? no bro its wrong...macros and plugins that handle audio like reaktor is right answer :)

  • @Joedoriamusic
    @Joedoriamusic 3 года назад

    Yeah, please it's highly sugg NO background music (which this is terrible btw)

  • @amerikannadiga

      Sorry you didn't dig the music. But I'm glad I was able to help you with Reaper. Good luck in your live ventures!
