My band is ready to record new music, and this will be the first time ive tackled recording an entire band. Your videos have been incredibly helpful in helping me put together a work flow, and helping simplify tasks that seemed impossible until recently. Much appreciate all of your shared wisdom!!!
Kenny, just let me say your tutorials have been so incredibly helpful. I’ve followed the techniques in previously a couple of years back and now, once again, I’ve recorded and now am starting to mix original tracks for a band I’m in and suddenly you’ve posted several new videos on the exact topics helpful to me. So again, thank you!
Great tutorial, thanks Kenny! Just wonder if you copy the same track for the double on acoustic guitars for panning or is it better to record a new take for the double?
If you copy paste a secondary track and pan them left/right, it will just create a louder mono sound unfortunately. You can time shift the copy track by miliseconds until the waves in both tracks are distant enough in peaks and valleys to get a stereo sound with panning, but it tends to be hit or miss doing it that way. Recording a second take will always sound better and add in more dynamic flavor. If you are in a pinch where you have one track to work with on a clients song, the copy/paste/timeshift method can work, but if you have the option to get a second take, always try to aim for that. :)
Wait a minute... At 2:41 mins, the acoustic guitar track was "doubled" but the "NEW" track looks and sounds very different from the first one... ...so weird. The video editor super-power...
@@REAPERMania Hahahaha, c'mon, Kenny... I was just joking a bit about some video magical scenes... You know we all think about you (I hope you know) and your great and unstoppable work here... Thank you very much for another great tutorial.
It would be good to add a new stereo separation control knob. It will go from 100% mono to 100% stereo. Will also be helpful to check mono compatibility of a track. Some other Daws have it. Quite useful.
I believe there is one. Right-click one of your pan knobs and a little window should pop up. There's a few options for panning behaviour, one of them should be what you're after
Awesome tutorial as always Master Gioia! I have learned a ton from your tutorials, and whenever I convince fellow audio engineers to give Reaper a chance (I'm practically an unofficial salesman for Reaper lol), I always recommend your channel to them as well. Quick question, can I get the name of the tune used in this tutorial by chance? It's a total vibe.
Hi Kenny I find all your videos so helpful. you have taught me loads and saved me £1000's. Just one question on this one is the doubled acoustic guitar track a totally separate recording from the first one as it looks totally different when you bring it in?
Kenny... Another great tutorial... I wanted to ask about the acoustic tracks (LR). The waveform on the right looks different from the left... Is this a doubled performance....Thanx for all you do....
It's very nice when heard in stereo, but when heard in mono, the volume of the side channels will be reduced. This is my big problem. How do we deal with this? Thanks. I wish you health and prosperity to enjoy life, and continue to give us your knowledge. 😀
You deal with it by listening to both ways and deciding how important mono is going to be for your needs. It's the same way when dealing with different speakers. It's never going to sound the same everywhere.
Quick question. I use Reasampleomatic 5000 in reaper for my drums and other samples. I notice when i pull up samples and pan them they dont really truly pan. They only seem to get quieter. Ive run through so much troubleshooting. My I/o is correct and there are no plug ins that create a mono environment. Another thing is, is that any mic'ed acoustic signal will truly pan (vocal/ac.guitar...etc.). Is it a trouble with my samples? It seems like this should be easy, take the signal and send it to one side. Anyway, any insight would be appreciated 👍
so i am wondering: if you make an exact copy of a track (without any processing or delaying/phasing techniques applied) and pan to opposite sides , wouldn't that just sum to sound in the middle again and not yield any stereo effect at all? Then i was looking at the waveforms of the copied tracks and noticed they look different?
I was a logic user for 20 years.I switched to Reaper and have invested a lot of time in it but now I'm very frustrated with it and may go back to logic since no one seems to know the answer to my Reaper problem. I hope you can help. I have no panning at all. Rotating the pan knob in Stereo pan mode only reduces the volume until it's back in center again. The pan behaves this way wether its midi our audio. I hope you can solve this. Thanks. I am on a Mac studio.
This is a different version to the song I know. Did you re edit this song for video purposes. Is it possible to get a copy of this version anywhere? It’s much better.
Everytime i try to pan my vocals left and right, it does it on the left side but when it goes to the right my vocals slowly fade away. Could you help me?
My pen doesn't work.. It's been like this for a while.. When I pan all the way right.. It's centered.. When I pan all the way left it turns it completely off.. What would be my problem.??
Great video. May i ask if you are copying the same track left and right for the purpose of this video only? I thought its always better to have a new performance once we start panning, otherwise the track just gets louder. Sorry I am newbie.
I would have been lost without your tutorials. I have learned so much from you. :)
yep, me too.

The music used for the example is very nice
Hah, i dodged your right jab this time 😂

Perfect timing just set-up my revamped studio and rehashing my process and then this gets uploaded . Blessed.
Love ya Kenny x
A beautiful song made even more beautiful with your skillful touch. Thank you for the clarity of your tutorials. We learn so much...
Great lessons my friend, thanks for your help.
This totally blew my mind! Thank you! I'm very excited to give this a try, I know it will make a world of difference.
As always writing a comment to support the channel
Thanks a lot for these tutorials!
Pan? Why would I need a tutorial about pan.. wait , oh ! Cool nice one. Kenny does it again.
Thank you! Great video!
Great tutorial, thanks Kenny! Just wonder if you copy the same track for the double on acoustic guitars for panning or is it better to record a new take for the double?
Always better to record a new take.
Thank you for your quick reply, highly appreciated. Best wishes. @@REAPERMania

@@calebhohneke8482yes, the same exact signal panned hard to either side will just be mono
You "can" time delay them slightly, but run the risk of having phase issues. Always better to double track. 😊
Okay, Kenny! Had to stop and comment on how nice that sounded, gjob
Wait a minute...
At 2:41 mins, the acoustic guitar track was "doubled" but the "NEW" track looks and sounds very different from the first one...
...so weird.
The video editor super-power...
It was doubled by playing it again. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
@@REAPERMania Hahahaha, c'mon, Kenny... I was just joking a bit about some video magical scenes...

@@marceloribeirosimoes8959 I should have known. LOL
Thank you, this helped a lot!
Another fantastic video. Many thanks. Hugfe help. Will check out your razor editing video now! And a great song too!

Here is the original: ruclips.net/video/rLVKMo43w3o/видео.htmlsi=R4ksLgoi8KPmm1XC
Kick ass tutorial as usual! Also, the song is beautiful. Reminds me of Cigarettes After Sex

Yes. It's a completely new recording. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
@@REAPERMania thanks Kenny, would I get the same type of effect if I duplicated it and nudged it forward slighly
Shout out to the Tukan Goniometer

What the name of the effect you used for the stereo width ?
Quick question. I use Reasampleomatic 5000 in reaper for my drums and other samples. I notice when i pull up samples and pan them they dont really truly pan. They only seem to get quieter.

Song ?
What is the difference beetween guitar playing in center and double guitar playing in left and right channel? Isn't it the same?
so i am wondering: if you make an exact copy of a track (without any processing or delaying/phasing techniques applied) and pan to opposite sides , wouldn't that just sum to sound in the middle again and not yield any stereo effect at all? Then i was looking at the waveforms of the copied tracks and noticed they look different?

So I see the problem but I don't know how to fix it.. The Pan works when my buss is not on. But when my buss is off then the pan works.. why is that??
There is no pan button for me
Great video. May i ask if you are copying the same track left and right for the purpose of this video only? I thought its always better to have a new performance once we start panning, otherwise the track just gets louder. Sorry I am newbie.
Those aren't copies. I played the part twice. Sorry for the confusion.
@@REAPERMania Thank you.
