Awesome , the video update for windows is great to have by default. Man , that time stretch algo is trippy , can see quick sound design use cases with it. Huge thanks for the update videos you've put out through the years.
What's cool about this new MPEG-4/Windows Media format rendering option is that "MPEG-4 video": - these videos can playback in browser. For example, when you give someone Mega link of the video - they can play it directly in browser. That's very useful for delivering test demos of the AV projects. It allows low size (we can pick video bitrate), lossless audio quality and browser playability. Just awesome stuff. Very cool
If the could also add another secondary module, window or something for controlling realtime time stretching and pitch options without the need to open the item preferences I'll be living inside reaper for the rest of my life. Until then I will still be happy!
@@georgenext3030 that would be nice. Try shift 5 and 6 to stretch items by 6 percent, shift 7 & 8 to pitch up or down by cent and shift 9 and 0 to pitch up or down by semitone. That's a decent start. The media item properties window itself also can be docked and it'll automatically detect selected items and show you options which is nice :)
Very helpful, as always, thanks! I have a proposal to make a database of similar videos with bookmarks of the individual functions and when we are in Reaper to be able to get help for each function at the moment and with video info. The plus will be that the new features will take their place next to the old ones (there may be a 'what's new' menu) and you won't have to watch all the videos so far to find one feature without leaving the program and distracts;)
Great news. Maybe put some kind of 'obsolete' sticker over your older video explaining how to download ffmpeg. I was following those steps and then thought I'd just check your main blog site to see about updates first, found this. That saved me a lot of headache, as a Windows user.
Extreme timestretch = paulstretch it sounds like. Nevertheless welcome updates as always :) Edit: Nvm, yes it's very similar. This is great news for ambient and texture building, right in reaper. More flexible than Paulstretch if possible. Also great news about no more FFMPEG on Windows for some people including me. For my Mac setup I didn't even bother with installing ffmpeg but this is excellent. No more machine switching to render my still vids. Yes I'm lazy :p
It's definitely much more convenient though to have it in DAW versus paulstretch being a standalone, but I agree that it sounds a bit different than paulstretch, not necessarily for the worse though :)
Fantastic video. Thank you. Related to video, what settings are you now using for rendering video and audio for RUclips? (Bitrate, framerate, video format, audio format and samplerate?) Secondly, do you still run your music projects at 48kHz, generally? I do, but have been thinking of running at 88200kHz or higher because of how well it improves the quality of time stretching / re-pitching. Actually, would be nice if they'd add the oversampling function to the per-sample pitching feature - I guess that would make life easier. :)
I haven’t had an opportunity to upgrade yet but, I’m guessing the new time stretch mode works similar to the one in FL studio? And thanks for the videos, really appreciate it.
Hello, thanks for this and all the other amazing videos you made! I just wanted to ask you if it's possible to turn on the dark mode on Reaper on Windows, because i haven't found it anywhere..
My cursor when using Reaper is stuck as the "Mouse" cursor, so I can not zoom in or out because I need the "I" cursor back. Sometimes when I restart the computer I get it back briefly but as soon as I touch something it goes away... Can anyone help me out this is driving me mad.
Sorry for noob question: do the video features mean that we can now export videos at a smaller size? I remember exporting a 1 hour video and it was 20 GB...
File size is dependant on bitrate (data per second, Mbit/s) of the video. More Mbit/s = bigger file. 20GB for a 1hr video is not uncommon with extremely high bitrates (or so called "lossless" video encoding where exported video might be even bigger in filesize than the source material :D ). I would investigate "how to set bitrate in REAPER video export". What I personally do is export super high quality video from my Editor (REAPER, Resolve, Premiere or whatever) with lossless audio (!) and then I encode it again with "Handbrake" video encoder, because it allows me to use very, very specific rendering settings. I especially REALLY love being able to set a "Quality Factor" - so it becomes less about a specific bitrate, but more about "overall percieved quality of video", so fileSize will depend on movement in the video, but at the same time, I know I will always get a very specific "quality" of the video. If you set a static bitrate, let's say 12Mbit/s, even still images will be using the full bitrate. "Quality Factor" decides much more dynamically how much bits per second to spend on a particular set of frames. :) Really cool stuff. Video encoding, oh what a rabbit hole it can be. :D :) Have a great day!
@@RussianPunchProductions thanks for the detailed response. I just want to know if I can export “normal” size videos for RUclips without having to use another software.
If you didn't have the full version of FFMPEG installed you probably exported with the MJPEG option which makes very big files. My exported videos are a little less than 1GB per 10 minutes at 1440p. This is on mac though.
Ok , I have a problem that appeared in the last 3 updates I would say , it doesn’t seems to make any sense It’s been 1 hour I try to render a track It’s passing through two hardware devices with reainsert I did a 1st version with no issue Then I had to change a volume in a track and now when I online render the master is bugging Ive tried everything Freeze all tracks Freeze all buses and erase tracks The export is bugging at the exact same moment although nothing is bugging in the tracks or buses Weird thing : the bug doesn’t show up when I only export let’s say 10 second before Ive try to freeze all buses in one master group then erase all the other tracks , the stereo mix doesn’t bug and bugs at the export Do somebody know what is going on ? Or if it’s a known issue in the last updates ? Hint : those kind of bugs are more likely to happen when a frozen track contain split sections Thanks in advance
One Question and it’s not about this version specific but overall. Is it Marquee Zoom posible in Piano Roll? I use it all the time i Arrange window with mouse modifier but there is no option for this in Piano roll. Tnx in advance
This is HUGE trust me. Coming from Logic,this is A Time saver. Studio One has it also but it’s more precise in Reaper and i use it with Mouse modifier Alt/Option and you just dont think when you zooming it becomes like a reflex. Not having this in Piano Roll,slows me down big time. Can’ you look into it?
I made a custom stretch mode toolbox that includes a bunch of stretch modes, so I can just click through them, without having to hit F2/double click, select the stretch mode from the drop down menu and having to click "apply" in order to change it. When I search for stretch mode/rrreeeaaa in the actions list, I don't see the new Rrreeeaaa stretch mode anywhere in order to add it to may stretch mode toolbox. Anyone found a work around for that?
@@leofrick3226 Right click at the toolbar, select the toolbar you want to create as a stretch mode toolbar, say toolbar 2. Toolbar 2 is going to pop up. Right click at toolbar 2, select "customise toolbar". Then at the bottom left click on the "Add" tab and in the actions list that will pop up, type in the search "stretch mode". A bunch of stretch modes will pop up, so start adding those to your custom toolbar. Give that custom toolbar a key command so that it pops up under your cursor to speed up your workflow, especially if you work the stretch modes for sound design. Done.
Hey Jon, I remember you bought the Mac studio Max. Do you think it is worth the upgrade from the Mac M1 Min w 16gb RAM? I am literally in the final decision mode: Mac Mini VS Mac studio M1 Max...
I think its priced appropriately for the increase in cpu and gpu cores and double the ram. Amount of ram and the speed of my external drives was the bottleneck for performance of my Mac Mini.
@@TheREAPERBlog Thanks , I think that answers my question well enough. I have been wincing at the extra $$ for the studio Max but I agree,, I have been using a pc with 16 gig ram and it bogs down. Not sure what the delivery times are like now but,,, Mac studio it is. Great content in your videos. No doubt you are the most detailed Reaper reporter on RUclips.
@@TheREAPERBlog thanks I def wanna play with the new stretch feature looks super fun. I do some sound design stuff for two bands I’m in. Love that verb

Rrreeaaa for the win!! PaulStretch was always one of my favorites, so of COURSE this kind of feature shows up in Reaper
im salivating to try it

Now after watching, I can say a big thank you to Jon!
Great videos to keep on top of all of the Reaper updates. Thanks Jon.
Ahhh So COOL the PaulStretch sound/character now built in!!!!!
I see what you did there with the intro music 😉
Glad I'm not the only one that picked up on that!
Rrreeeaaaa!!! Been waiting for something like this forever! If they add an Hourglass-like thing too I'd be in heaven!

So looking forward to trying this out. Kenny Gioia also just did a video using the stretch technique.
thanks for these super useful vids helping all us out keeping up with all these frequent updates

Thank you! and thank all the Reaper folks.
Amazing update. Thanks for covering it in details. Rrreeeaaa iiisss gggrrreeeaattt!!1
This man knows his stuff.
Oh, the Rrreeaaa reminds me of Cool Edit's "Make Cool Music". Will definitely have fun noodling with the new feature.
awesome stuff. thank u for reviewing and chewing it up for us
Thanks, Jon. Off to download now.
Excellent. Thanks for the info. Now I wonder in which cases it might be important to have VLC installed to import videos.
Great stuff Jon, as always :)

how to fix reaper not responding
when using external plagin
Ok ,
I have a problem that appeared in the last 3 updates I would say
, it doesn’t seems to make any sense
It’s been 1 hour I try to render a track
It’s passing through two hardware devices with reainsert
I did a 1st version with no issue
Then I had to change a volume in a track and now when I online render the master is bugging
Ive tried everything
Freeze all tracks
Freeze all buses and erase tracks
The export is bugging at the exact same moment although nothing is bugging in the tracks or buses
Weird thing : the bug doesn’t show up when I only export let’s say 10 second before
Ive try to freeze all buses in one master group then erase all the other tracks , the stereo mix doesn’t bug and bugs at the export
Do somebody know what is going on ? Or if it’s a known issue in the last updates ?
Hint : those kind of bugs are more likely to happen when a frozen track contain split sections
