this is not at all meant to be negative. im 54 and not too smart. i love how u make these videos easier for dummies like me. following your channel i can now move to reaper and actually like it !!! and the drum editinig course is awesome !! thanks myk for all you do
Just discovered your channel and although I've already watched a lot of videos from John, Adam and Kenny, it's always cool to see another way of doing the same things. Like the script to create a folder for the selected tracks. It's awesome
Great! Basically I'm doing the same - but from experts like you I learn some new tricks for beeing faster and more efficienct! Thanks very much and keep going! Best regards, Stefan
Great video, thank you so much. I’d love to see an in depth tutorial on takes/comping in reaper! I’ve never found a good takes workflow due to the autosplit thing when you have different record punch in/out points.
thank YOU for checking out the channel! Join us on Discord if you need any assistance, there are many folks in there who are well versed in both ProTools and REAPER and can help ease the transition for you.
I arrange my tracks in a similar manner to you. But I like to have the bass track(s) and kick track(s) next to each other so it is easier to see that they are in sync.
Myk you are my hero, I knew there had to be an easier way to import multi tracks. Thank you so very much for your content. Mix life changing stuff here!!
@@battmanvonrichtoven 7zip is available here www.7-zip.org/ and here's a video on installing SWS Extension ruclips.net/video/y71-rcVK7jQ/видео.html Hope this helps!
Really love these videos. Very helpful and not laboured. I've been using Reaper for years and I didn't know about dragging the track slightly right to put it inside a folder!! How embarrassing!
Hey, I loved the video, however I am confused between the Volume (Pre-FX)" knob and the "Volume (Item)" knob. Which one of the two is used to do gain staging or considered as the gain knob on reaper?
You could use either or both. Volume pre-fx would give you an envelope to be able to vary the item volume over time, whereas the knob is a fixed setting for the entire clip/item.
Love the video. Quick question regarding folders vs buses. I like the ability to collapse the folders, however, I imagine duplicating folders to perform parallel processing would be cumbersome. Using the drums as an example, would it be possible to create parallel drum buses and then put the buses and the individual drum channels into a folder? Ideally this would enable collapsing the drums while still parallel processing, and preventing needless track duplication? (I'm a novice, so this may be a naive question!)
you can nest folders in whatever ways you like, you just have to be careful to make sure to avoid unwanted nesting, if that makes sense. It can get a little tricky, so i like to have a bit of an indent to visually show me parent folders. that said, i tend to put all my parallel processing into an FX buss outside the instrument groups. There's no right or wrong way, so long as you don't create a feedback loop :)
@@LetsTalkAboutReaper Thanks for the reply. I'm not quite sure I understand the routing. You place your drum tracks in a folder, which gets sent to the master bus. How do you simultaneously send to an FX return track to do parralel compression/processing? Again, apologies for my naiveté.
I've got a couple of videos about parallel processing that may help explain a bit better. Lemme know if this does the trick, and if not, perhaps we can do a screen share of discord ruclips.net/video/MEoIFszHrYY/видео.html
So far great tutorial! I down loaded sws but I don't have "create folder to contain selected tracks". I think I have a newer version then you did in this video. So with that being said what should I select in the actions list? Thanks!
@@fpvtv2222 make folder to contain selected tracks is a different script that I got from reapack. I think I may have made a separate video for that script, I will take a look and see if I can locate the origin and get back with you
@@fpvtv2222 it won't show up in the actions yet, you have to install the script from ReaPack. This should help ruclips.net/video/X8jZh7WyloM/видео.html I like this action better because it creates the top level folder. The native script you were using makes the first folder in the selection into the folder. It'll make sense when you see the video, just feels a bit more elegant and optimized to me
I love how you narrate EVERYTHING, not assuming someone knows the hotkey or whatever.
I like these "looking over your shoulder" videos. Exactly how I love to learn.
Yes, please show us the rest - gain staging, rough mixing etc.!

Definitely interested in your gain staging process! Love how you organize your stuff - very close to how I like my stuff grouped.
Thank you! Let's just hope my mix doesn't sound terrible when this is all said and done ;)
Really clear and succinct explanations. Subscribed! Hope more people will get to know about your channel!
Great video, well done. Please keep them coming, you are really good at teaching!

Great stuff … thank you…. It’s gonna be a great series
thank you for such a video to help ppl like me that just wanna get into mixing....
I would love to see a video of you mixing this song :)
Nice organization skills
Great Tutorials.
