Hey there, another long-time REAPER user here : ) This is a great tip, but you can make this whole process probably 50 times quicker. The way I bounce down MIDI drums to audio tracks is trough their individual channels, without the need to ever go into the sampler and solo the track I want. I'm gonna shorten it, but, if you route your GGD midi channels to individual audio tracks into REAPER, you can just select all the tracks you want and select the action ''Render track to mono stem track (and mute originals)'', or the same one but only ''stereo'' if you're bouncing down Overhead or Stereo room tracks. So, with that, REAPER does this bounce in seconds. Other benefits of routing are, well, you can further mix the midi drums you have, and change the balance with the faders right in the mixer : )
Yes! I've been using the above method for months now and it is a million times easier! When I get back into the swing of making vids I'll bash it to the top of the list!
amazing video man. it's so true! having a ton of midi VSTs all up and running whilst mixing is nightmare on the CPU and also makes it very tempting to go in and fiddle with everything and takes away from the pure audio experience
Great channel Harry. I am a producer/mixer for my band and do the same thing. Reaper is just such a solid tool and seems to be able to do whatever you throw at it. Love Reaper. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers.
Good morning. Your video is very good, really useful. Apparently it's easy, the problem is that when I render the midi track, for audio, it actually creates another track, but without anything, the track is empty. Do you have any tips for this situation? Thanks. Compliments. Jorge Cecilio- Portugal.
This is very helpful. But is there a way to set some sort of bounds to what is printed? When I try to do this it says it's counting down from rendering a 30 minute file, even though there's no midi past 3 minutes. I've tried selecting the regions, setting the playback/loop bounds, can't figure out what I'm missing.😅
@@tommyzai7038 I’m fairly sure it’s the 12.5 theme. But there’s a few newer ones that look good that I might try! Try a few, it only takes seconds to change them!
Is there a way in Reaper to take this idea in a different direction and render each hit to an instance of the sample file? E.g. it would look like if you made drums from samples straight in audio tracks. That way you get the convenience of MIDI to audition different samples, but can do some fine tweaking later on if desired
This seems like a very time consuming way and also I can't change as I go. Surely there is a faster way that meets both these requirements. Can anyone help me out?
sorry for the slow reply. Yes there is, its a little time consuming to set up in the first instance but then you can save the template. Have a search for setting up a multi track instrument in kontakt
Whenever I use this in reaper it’s always a couple milliseconds off from the rest of the track and it also never loops properly is there any way to fix that
I've never had that! But yes, if you select the bit you need and press n on your keyboard it will bring up a nudge box and you can give it a little shimmy.
This video should be 30 mins long. Cut to the meat bro. This video is called converting midi to audio, not a 7 minute long tutorial on midi drums. Duh.

Literally, no one else could just give me the straight answer to this. You are a legend!
Man you're amazing, I couldn't find an answer to this and I'm using Reaper as well, simple as it gets thanks!
No Frills, just straight to the point. 👍👋 Very Helpful.

I love Reaper, and I bloody love you, thanks for this man!
@@harrywhitter408 Anytime man, everything to save time for fellow REAPER users! : )
Could you make tutorial video on that? Sounds awesome.
Yes! I've been using the above method for months now and it is a million times easier! When I get back into the swing of making vids I'll bash it to the top of the list!
Do you have a video tutorial of this? I'm learning reaper for the first time to turn my GP8 midi into music
You are a lifesaver!! I have been looking everywhere for a tutorial on this and you came in clutch! SUBSCRIBED!

Thanks buddy! Means a lot, still swimming through the muddy waters of trying to work out what the channel is!
Thanks Harry. I’m a Reaper user and this was valuable
Thanks man!
Dude, You just make My day ! Thanks a lit
i f... love you dude, thanks
thx man~~ ^.^

Thanks for the clear tutorial. BTW, what theme are you using?
It's a pro tools theme! just google pro tools reaper theme, it's from the Reaper forum!
@@harrywhitter408 Thanks, but there are several. Do you have the theme name by any chance?
@@tommyzai7038 I’m fairly sure it’s the 12.5 theme. But there’s a few newer ones that look good that I might try! Try a few, it only takes seconds to change them!
Thanks, Harry. I've been liking Flat Madness lately, but going old school/traditional mixing board-ish is cool, too.
Why would you remove the MIDI track? Surely there is a way to keep it and the VST settings without it eating up your CPU and Memory load.
The track remains, but it disabled and turned off, its more an exercise in committing and moving forward in the project for me
I’m importing my Guitar Pro 5 MIDI files into Reaper, and the kick drum data disappears in Reaper. What am I doing wrong??

Hi how did you make you're Reaper daw look like pro tools? Awesome tutorial video.
It's a theme for reaper! Google Pro tools reaper theme. It should pop up!
Nice looking Reaper theme, which one is it. Thanks
Hello buddy, I've been meaning to post it. Apologies, I will jump on the pc when I get back from work and sling the link up!
Thanks very much Harry! 👍
Tony! sorry for the delay, the updated version of my skin can be found here!:

I know you can’t be mad over milliseconds 😳
Doesn't really explain much for newbies, converts a Midi track with a click "somewhere" with no explanation, nobody knows what going on ??? 👎
got me at first punchline, rip.
This video should be 30 mins long. Cut to the meat bro. This video is called converting midi to audio, not a 7 minute long tutorial on midi drums. Duh.
This video was not good at all! All you did was ramble 😳are you serious right now bro.? This is sad 😞
nearly 2 mins of personal waffle.FFS show the lesson! I don't care about yr demo just record the MIDI to audio.
Bet you're fun at a dinner party.
