@@Roses_R_redeR do you mean needing to sing up and register? Or do you mean a monthly subscription fee? Most do not have a monthly subscription fee. Pro Tools is the only that I can think of where people think that it is subscription based but you can actually buy a licence for it and avoid the subscription. If you mean a DAW where you don’t have to sign up and register. Audacity and LMMS might be the only ones. If you’re on a Mac or have an iPhone or iPad you can use GarageBand. It’s built in and doesn’t require you to register it.
@@AudioTechTV yes I mean the fee the $200 a month or more for reason but I'm really considering reaper now . You know with the times being as crazy as they are... and I've got a bunch of kids and I'm not made of money..
I just watched your video about the best DAWs for beginners, and from watching that, settled on Reaper. I search Reaper tutorials and you show up again. Thanks for the vids, man. They're incredibly helpful.
Hello. Ableton Live Lite user here. I know I'm late to the party, looking at some of the comments dates, but I had to comment on Reaper. Ableton has been crashing, a lot, so I've been on the look out for something else. First of all, Reaper is fast, really fast. I had an old home built PC with 6g of memory and that's the reason for Ableton crashing. Reaper just go's and go's and go's, with zero crashing. I'm hooked. Thanks to Zane and That Metal Head over at SpectreSoundStudios. You guys rock.
Did you like it? I am starting to learn music production and want to use a free DAW for now. I get these suggestions: ableton lite, studio one prime, reaper, cakewalk. Can't decide one
@@user-pl3sk1es3o Ya 4 sure....it's amazing especially for me who has almost no DAW or recording experience. I was recording drum and guitar tracks in a couple of hours after buying it (watched a few youtube videos). I downloaded stephen slate drums 5 for free and imported drums to put with my guitar. I was in the same boat as you and I did some research and from what I have been told Reaper is the easiest to learn and use.
I'll be messing around with tracking for the first time this weekend and was considering Reaper. You just sealed it for me man! I really appreciate the clear and concise tutorial. Time to hook up the Presonus Audio Box and get going!
I just noticed that in the background of your video in the beginning where you explain reaper, you have albums on the wall. One of the albums immediately caught my eye. Jimi Hendrix album "Are You Experienced". Epic !!! I will brag here to share I saw Hendrix in 1969 at Devonshire Downs. Thank you for your superb explanation here of Reaper. Great job.
Crystal clear my friend... I have used Cubase for many years... but for a variety of reasons, I am moving toward REAPER starting now..... this was such a clear helpful introduction and i thank you kindly.
I've been comfortable using Logic Pro X for so long, but my band mates don't have a mac, so I'm relearning Reaper. This actually helped more than i expected. Thanks for the tutorial!
Love ❤️ forever from Nepal Your voice is clear and smooth . I can listen clearly. It's really hard for me to understand other people voice who speak very vast .
Thank you so much, ive just started using reaper a few months ago and during covid lockdown, i was creating some drum tracks and posting on Facebook. This has helped me with a better understanding. Hoping to see more videos from you on this DAW program. God bless
Thanks for this great video. I am a total beginner in terms of modern music production. I had some experience with sequencing and arranging music with my Korg Music Workstation 25 years. But wow, times have changed and I want to dive back into this great topic (which is a hobby for me). While researching the internet for online educational resources I discovered this great channel. The DAW is the central hub of music production and I have to decide which I should use. I cut down the list to Reaper, FL Studio and Studio One. Let's see which will win.
Your video was super helpful! I’ve put off getting to grips with recording for way too long because I didn’t understand both the hardware and software side of things. Not anymore! Finally got started, so thank you! liked and subbed :D
I have to use Windows Reaper now for a gig at EA, so cheers for this tutorial. EDIT: this is probably a little too "beginner" for me, haha, but I love how well you explain things to the viewer! Cheers!
Thank You. I have been trying to record from my first and new interface and someone told me of Reaper. This video did the trick right away. I look forward to working with it... I up thumbed and subscribed.
Thank you. By far my favorite daw. Wish I never would've wasted my time with other overpriced softwares.. reaper is the best. Will gladly pay 60 bucks for this type of quality!
This may sound really stupid but its completly new to me, how do i get loops/sounds to put in the program ? i thought it was going to be automaticly in the program. Thanks for the amazing content!
what a great video..lots of crappy tutorials out there but yours is excellent...a questtion..pls explain in layman terms..what is punching in and punching out?..yes i did try googling it but no one can answer a simple question..cheers!!!!
I have a video that shows what punch recording is here ruclips.net/video/BjvoU8Kab6E/видео.html in the video I use Tracktion waveform but the concept is exactly the same in other daws.
Thanks very much for your help, very clear and concise instruction. Also they are offering a temporary license right now that's good until the end of January, if anyone wants to make use of this awesome DAW!
@@AudioTechTV thanks for prompt reply. I am loving Reaper, after years with Protools. I have an Akai MPK49 which keeps losing midi control even though enabled. Have to restart Win 10 to get it back. Thanks for your great tutorials.
Hey, great tutorial. I've just tried some Reason before, but I think this might be just as good. Just gotta get me a MIDI and jump right on it! Thanks!
What's the best approach of you want to create an electronic drum beat from scratch? Dragging samples in a timeline feels a little archaic. Is there any smarter way more analogous to a virtual drum computer? Reason has a ton of these types of instruments and I'm trying to assess whether switching to Reaper would work for me because I'm fed up with Reason's pricy upgrade model.
Glad I can help. I love the Dominican Republic. Normally I spend 2 weeks there every year. This is the first year in a long time that we won’t be there. Enjoy that beautiful island weather and keep creating! 👊👍
I hope you can help me with this problem. I have downloaded instruments like VSTi DSK The Grand Piano for example. This one and all others give me this message '' Cannot find any instrument''. The name of the instrument appears on the chosen track, but it is not active. What did I do wrong? By the way I like your lessons, you are easy to understand and I am a subscriber. 🎸🎷🎹
I am looking to start recording and editing guitar/bass again. I had a MacBook with Line 6 POD for years and Mac dropped support for Line 6 so I stopped recording for the past 2+ years. Just bought a PC finally and am looking to get back into things. This DAW looks similar to GarageBand and Logic in interface and hotkeys. Would this be good for just guitar and bass though? I still have my POD and I also have a Mackie Onyx. PC DAW and audio interfaces are foreign to me. Thanks!
Thanks for your explanation. Please I have a question. I’m moving from Audacity to Reaper to have the possibility to record more tracks live a the same time, example 1 microfono, 2 Guitar, 3 an other guitar. I open 3 tracks but when i’m trying to record the program told me impossible, I can record but we’ll have 3 instrumenti on the same track…what can I do to have 3 different tracks recording at the same time live ? Many thanks in advance for your Kind answer. I follow you and regards from Italy
If you haven’t installed the Asio driver for your audio interface or if your audio interface doesn’t have an Asio driver then you can use a different driver type or use Asio4all which is an emulated Asio driver. Visit the manufacturers website for your audio interface to see if they have an Asio driver that you can install. It will not be the default driver that installs when you first connect it. Asio drivers need to be manually installed.
Noob questions: My interface doesn’t have MIDI. Can I use my computer keyboard to control midi on my PC, eg. to edit drums? I have an electric piano with MIDI, could I use that as a controller via USB to the PC or do I need to get a controller with USB to plug into my PC in order to edit drums? Many thanks!
Great video Zane. having to double-click to drop a midi note in the piano roll is kinda excessive though. I wonder why single clicking wasn't enough. Reaper has a great mixer, but for the actual compositional donkey-work, I prefer the piano rolls in FL or Bitwig. Think I'll keep Reaper for mastering jobs only. Really solid video and well explained !!
? for audio tech tv (btw thanks for this awesome tutorial as I just downloaded it) When I talk or record (keep in mind I did not set up my interface while recording to test so not sure if that makes a difference, as I just plugged in my midi keyboard ) but when I played back recordings I could hear this annoying echo and screetching sound throughout and just poor quality throughout. (I just talked into my audio speakers with no mic or anything) I am not sure how or what to adjust in setting to get ride of that. Also when I plugged in my midi and pulled up my synth in virtual instruments it was set at default and could only use basic boring default sounds (no matter what synth I picked) and the default sounds sounded strong but when I adjusted it to special synthesizers it stayed at default, so I had to pull up hybrid3 (the plug -in) separately outside of adding a virtual instrument to get the sound into reaper recording and when I played it back, it sounded very low and horrible, so not sure what is up with that or how I can get specific synths sounds (and not the default piano sound) in repear to sound like they do when playing them (strong and magnetic) Besides default there is only one or 2 other things to change it to and that did not seem to make a difference. Lastly, if I have 3 tracks and I only want to listen to track 2 and mute 1 and 3, something is still not working right and I normally cannot hear sound on any of them and can only hear the really bad sound when I unmute all of them. Please keep in mind I am a super beginner and I do have a scarlett 2i2 but I do not know if that would make a difference or not with the issues I described above if I set up the interface with it Any insight you could share would be great. Thank you so much again for answering my ?s and your tutorials are by far the best.
For some reason I am having issues scrolling in/close up for a track. I cannot figure it out. I created an envelope underneath the track and I cannot zoom in on my mouse despite using the Z command and googling it. Any suggestions on how to zoom in and did you ever do a video on creating an envelope to adjust the volume for a track? Thanks
Hi. I just downlaoded Reaper and went om before watching the steps and missed the setting for ASIO. I do have it I just didn't set it for ASIO. How can I go back and set it?
They usually recommend -18DB maximum for recording anything. Some recommend -12DB though as well. That is with the volume fader at its default position.
Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video. I checked out one of your songs on your channel. Very cool! Reminds me of early Megadeth. Great stuff! Keep creating! 👊👍
I haven’t really got too deep into Studio One. But I used to use Reaper quite a bit. So it’s kind of an unfair comparison from me just because I know Reaper better. But Studio one seems to be really nice. I like the single page workflow and I can see that it’s really geared toward a speedy workflow.
Thanks for your demo, you did exactly what I had tried on my own. Looks so simple and reasonable, but in reality it is not. I am not understanding why MY setup (simple piano VST with MIDI, ASIO4All) is not working: my VSTs work fine in standalone mode or in players like Falcon,Kontakt etc.. In order to record the audio I need to use a DAW, e.g. these Reaper tracks. All MIDI settings are correct, yet NONE of my VSTs produces sound in Reaper when playing on the keyboard (i.e. they do not 'see' the MIDI signals). When playing on the virtual keyboard of the VST (some have that feature) inside Reaper, audio output of the VST IS reaching the Reaper track. Clearly it is the MIDI part that is not working. Somehow it is 'stolen' by Reaper and not sensed by the VST window inside this DAW. Reaper seems to not handle my MIDI channels, despite MIDI being enabled in the settings as you show,. I hoped to see how to correctly set it up, but in your case it simply works, in my case it simply doesn't. That's why I came here. How to debug this mess, why is it so difficult to do such a basic thing, i.e. record a VST instrument? Very vew VSTs offer a built-in recorder, sadly, so a DAW is needed. I do have an older Cubase , but it does not even see my newer VSTs, while Reaper picks all of them up nicely during installation. I am stuck. Thanks!
good video,very informative. I'm using Mt Power Drumkit2 plug in for E-drums, I managed to make it work, however, since the Reaper is controlling my drum module and sound card , I'm struggling to play Yt along the Drumkit2 plug in.Normally I would use input to plug any other music source device but currently I'm using laptop output for headphones so YT seems like a good music source to play along. How to make it both work=plug in and YT as it's either way at the moment?

also another question...what is the optimal recording levels for guitars please?..I plug my guitar into my scarlett solo
They usually recommend -18DB maximum for recording anything.
Some recommend -12DB though as well.
That is with the volume fader at its default position.
Very informative! Thank you
Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video. I checked out one of your songs on your channel. Very cool! Reminds me of early Megadeth. Great stuff! Keep creating! 👊👍
Im about to buy StudioOne for 80, but wanted to checkout Reaper first. Have you tried both and if so which one has better flow for you?
I haven’t really got too deep into Studio One. But I used to use Reaper quite a bit. So it’s kind of an unfair comparison from me just because I know Reaper better. But Studio one seems to be really nice. I like the single page workflow and I can see that it’s really geared toward a speedy workflow.
@@AudioTechTV ok thanks for your reply. I may try Reaper, When I opened S1 I was at home as it is super intuitive. Let's see what Reaper is like.

Thanks for your demo, you did exactly what I had tried on my own. Looks so simple and reasonable, but in reality it is not.
I am not understanding why MY setup (simple piano VST with MIDI, ASIO4All) is not working:
my VSTs work fine in standalone mode or in players like Falcon,Kontakt etc.. In order to record the audio I need to use a DAW, e.g. these Reaper tracks. All MIDI settings are correct, yet NONE of my VSTs produces sound in Reaper when playing on the keyboard (i.e. they do not 'see' the MIDI signals). When playing on the virtual keyboard of the VST (some have that feature) inside Reaper, audio output of the VST IS reaching the Reaper track. Clearly it is the MIDI part that is not working. Somehow it is 'stolen' by Reaper and not sensed by the VST window inside this DAW. Reaper seems to not handle my MIDI channels, despite MIDI being enabled in the settings as you show,.
I hoped to see how to correctly set it up, but in your case it simply works, in my case it simply doesn't. That's why I came here.
How to debug this mess, why is it so difficult to do such a basic thing, i.e. record a VST instrument? Very vew VSTs offer a built-in recorder, sadly, so a DAW is needed. I do have an older Cubase , but it does not even see my newer VSTs, while Reaper picks all of them up nicely during installation. I am stuck.
Thanks!
Thankyou so much i dont know how to record on my mic before i watch thissss
good video,very informative. I'm using Mt Power Drumkit2 plug in for E-drums, I managed to make it work, however, since the Reaper is controlling my drum module and sound card , I'm struggling to play Yt along the Drumkit2 plug in.Normally I would use input to plug any other music source device but currently I'm using laptop output for headphones so YT seems like a good music source to play along.
How to make it both work=plug in and YT as it's either way at the moment?
Cannot get any playback to my headphones??
Very helpful! Thanks, bud!
