Awesome information! When I get to that 50+ tracks realm with plug-ins scattered everywhere, this definitely helps! Thank you!
You just gave me a toneboner! The first tip about the performance meter is great! What I did was to dock it above my toolbar and fully minimized it. That way, it doesn't take too much space on the screen and I can always see the overall cpu usage at the very top. If I need to check specific plugins I just pull up the window itself or ctrl+alt+p. You can also right click on it and customize which meters to show while it's docked. This video is really helpful not only for those with older computers but especially for plugins that aren't coded to be cpu-efficient. Thankfully, Reaper is already a very cpu-efficient DAW that also helps compensate for that. Thanks Mr. Tonebone! Reaper 'til we die!
Thanks El Duderino (because I’m not a fan of the whole ‘brevity thing. Great username!). I suffered with a dinosaur of a PC for many years and those tips saved my mixes many times!
@@tonebonemarone3089 Agree! Even with a decent/powerful PC, I think what you've shown here is still good practice! Like I said, I still use performance meter just because I want to see how the plugins are performing, especially when trying out demos (ie: the recent BB N105 channel strip). Plus the things you mentioned helps artists/producers/engineers to commit on the tracks. Imho, it gives more integrity to the decisions you make for a song. Hope to see more content from you!
Awesome thanks 👍
Love it, a friend showed me this feauture on Studio One and I thought Reaper didnt have something like this. Thanks
thanXXX fir SHARE my friend ! .
Can just render/freeze the tracks?
Yes, that is essentially what this video is showing you how to do within your DAW. Tip #2 is freezing tracks and tips #1 and #3 are different ways to Render tracks.
I usually just freeze the tracks.
