I almost skipped this one, thinking - I already know all about envelopes - glad I didn't! You ALWAYS learn at least one thing when Kenny puts up a video. Thanks so much Kenny!!!
I love Reaper but have always considered the automation envelope drawing to be clunky and cumbersome to use. After watching this I realize it's because I never knew about shift + click and always just used ctrl + click 🤦♂This is a gamechanger, thanks for the video!
Very useful - will help in my VO work when i have to raise my voice and I'd rather not be over-agressive with the compressor for just 2 or so loud points.
I use these automations a lot when editing older tracks and remastering them, where clicks or pops appear, you can edit them out, even when a guitar amp is having a 50Hz tone in it, cut out the part and when the guitar is played, the guitar masks the 50Hz tone. Fender guitars have this the most, and they should be gated while recording.
Hey Kenny, thanks as always for these. When I automate in Touch mode, using a physical encoder (any, from any controller), when I let go... it doesn't read... it just writes a straight line. This doesn't happen with using the mouse and turning the knob in a plugin. But after I've "learned" that parameter... I just can't get it to stop writing when I let go. Tried Latch, Touch, Write, Latch Preview. None of them help. There's gotta be a setting somewhere I'm missing... I don't want to use a mouse to automate. I want to use an encoder as it's just so much more fun (especially when playing with pitch and LFO stuff).... any idea? Thank you!
Thanks Kenny! Always learn something in each of your vids! I can't get constrained motion up and down or right and left working. Can another preference interfere with those capabilities?
When manually drawn, how to automatically reduce the number of the points but preserve the envelope curve? Is there any good solution? Most of the times these envelopes simply have too much points that are absolutely redundant. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
A 5 month too late reply, but you can create a hotkey for "Envelope: Reduce number of selected points by half" and hit it as many times as you want to clean it up

"If you prefer a knob, we could always use this one right here. Now, by default, we have to grab the knob"
Not falling for that one again!
Thanks Kenny! You have taught me more than I could ever have imagined. Reaper is great!!
And I thought I knew all about envelopes in reaper. At least 2 new things I learned.
Idea: a toot about types of points in these envelopes.
Kenny you are right out of New York!! NEAT Lets work on the clicks; importing files!

All these years I am using reaper I always ignored this knob. Not anymore. Thx Kenny

Kenny strikes again , or rather knocks it outta the park again . Thanks Kenny 😃
Wow - total time saver. Thanks Kenny! 👋💢

Kenny - This is great! So is it possible to control that automation knob with a physical fader / control surface? If so, where can we find out how?
This video is awesome. Thanks so much
Thnx Kenny 🎼👍🏽💙
Learned so much from this video
As always writing a comment to support the channel
Cheers for this, Kenny
This is amazing!! So easy and smart!
Thanks Kenny.
NIIIIIIIIIICE!!!

You could check mouse modifiers in the preference window in the envelope point context iirc
Thank you Kenny!

Awesome.
I'm having a problem 5 seconds in. There is no envelope button.
so excellent
Nice
👍
Thank you Kenny !
