When you think you know everything about Reaper. Thanks, great video!
I’m always finding new things, since releasing this and the course I’ve been told about another 3 or 4 little time savers!
Great video Adam! Thanks ever so much for sharing!!
Adam's channel Rocks!!
Adam Rocks!
finally leaving Pro Tools? haha
Top stuff 👌
Great video. I finally sat down with reaper and set up all my usual Cubase and protools fav shortcuts. It took a day but now that it's done working in reaper is an absolute pleasure.
Spectral waveform is absolutely amazing.
Spectral waveforms...mind blown!
I promise you that one day at the very near future, all the pros will move their Productions to GREAT RESPECTABLE COCKOS REAPER.
Great tips Adam, like many I have really enjoyed watching your reaper tutorials, plus learned a lot about mixing!
I've bought his pro course. Even though there are a few great RUclips reaper channels, I would still defiantly recommend Adam's course. Its a well structured great run through of a lot of features in Reaper.
This is a goldmine of time saving tricks. Thanks!
More great work, thanks!
Started in Pro Tools, have some experience with Logic... been at REAPER for about 4 months now and really think its a great DAW. So many options to figure out. Thanks Adam. I'll be checking out your tutorials.
Awesome video. Thanks dude!
Reaper will always be my favorite DAW. Been using it for about 10 years now. Super user friendly and intuitive with the power of much more expensive DAWs.
Super cool tips, thanks so much!
Some precious info in here ! Thank you !!!
Wow! Super useful video, man! Thanks for sharing!
It just getting better and better!!
Agreed
I've been DAWless recording Synthwave for awhile & had to get a DAW to remix another bands stems. Last week I had Cubase LE for 2 days & left it instantly for Reaper. Your pt1 tutorial is legendary...pls more aimed at us beginners. Just keep them coming. Love one specifically about adjusting levels throughout a mix, never done that before yet....been mixing live.
Going DAWless sounds really cool. For what I do it would never work, but it’s awesome to hear that people are doing cool stuff 👍
kenny gioia is king of reaper tutorials ruclips.net/channel/UCq297H7Ca98HlB5mVFHGSsQplaylists
Really great channel Adam. I switched from Studio One to Reaper Threes years back and have not looked back. It's so powerful and everything from the community to regular updates just make it the best. Keep up the great work mate. Cheers. :-)
Great seeing you here Cris!
Some neat tips. Thanks. I use Reaper for post production. Always something to learn in Reaper.
I need a 'So you bought Reaper and have no idea what it is or what you're doing' video
Check out the Ultimate Reaper Course from Pro Mix Academy!
Brilliant.Nice explanation.
Long-time Pro-tools and Ableton user chiming in: Linkable automation is available in Ableton when the user makes a macro knob (track effect macro group) controlling multiple parameters with definable polarity and start/end range for each linked parameter. However, this only applies to plugins within the same track. NOT to plugins across tracks. I hope this helps.
p.s. your singing voice sounds like Bruce of the 'Maiden.
Hi Adam just wanted to say thanks for your RUclips content it persuaded me into getting reaper over other daw’s and for the price of reaper and your cause ultimate reaper guide i just purchased, I think it’s a no brainer works out still cheaper then ableton standard
My favorite action is [ Item: Apply track/take FX to items (multichannel output) ]
That was my time saver. It bounces on the spot into a new take. If you use the action: [ Take: Crop to active take in items ], a bounce is almost immediate. Hope it helps someone. Thanks for the tips.
congratulations adam you got new subscriber
Recently new subscriber, your tutuorials have turned me from completely hopeless to "oooh i recorded something and it sounded ok" so cheers!
Always been able to play and write but always struggled with the technical side of music production.
Anymore info on this "course" that you mention, i wanna learn as much as i can!
Fantastic
Great video bro loved the render que tipp a ton,which audio interface is that sitting on your desk?
There is so much buried in Reaper legend has it if you look deep enough you'll uncover all the secrets of the universe.
Really enjoyed all these Reaper tutorials . I'm hoping to use it for live performance, so that when I play along on keys, I can have a few background effects and backing tracks to fill the performance. If you have any specific videos which cover anything like this please drop the link, as I would be very interested ... just subbed too, so I look forward to watching your future videos.
Spectral Peaks is amazing, but I like to have it set to one spectrum wraparound pr. octave, so i can see what notes are played. Stuff like time aligning 5 saxophones playing legato runs....how the hell did you even do that before? Absolutely amazing time saver! With a bit of practice you can see what note is which, and quickly spot out-of-scale notes and the like.
Adam You Rock!!
Hey Adam! I bought the full course and it ROCKS! But one thing that I have to ask.... Did Miki ever pick up your Mum's present for her birthday? LOL Fantastic tutorials! Thanks dude! REAPER ON!!
this is good
Wowww, I didn't know about that FX plugin link feature. Imma have to remember that. Seems like the sorta thing that might come in handy at some point.
You already know that, but: you're the best!
Holy Jezus Tiddy F-ing H. Christ. You... you just saved me.... hours... Days, even, of cutting, wiggling, and fighting with my Audiobook track. AND you made the tracks better than i ever hoped for by showing me how to SEE esses in my recording! I can actually tailor the harsher esses, past what the de-esser compressor (haha it rhymed, haaaaaah. look, it's 4:30 am, just let me have the laugh) is capable of! I was resigned to hating parts of my audiobook because I wasn't able to figure out how to get the de-esser to squish those spikes without squishing EVERYTHING else. Thank you, like from the bottom of my squishy little fluid pump, thank you so much. subscribed, patrion-ed, hell, I'll send you cookies if you want. Just.... thank you.
No, thank you! It’s this kind of feedback that makes it worth doing these kinds of videos. If you want to jump on the discord I’m always there to answer questions as well! 😊
@@adamsteelproducer There's a discord?! *cue Handel's Messiah*

Great video, thanks for sharing! I'm switching from pro tools, and cannot find if it's possible to have multimono fx in a bus. I've been looking in forums, but no luck. Do you guys know how to do it?
Hi Adam. Have you ever done a tutorial about using Ninjam from within Reaper? I've been using Ninjam but I'd also like to use some VSTi softsynths at the same time. My routing skills seem to be lacking because, although I can get a VSTi going and hear it locally, I don't seem to get the VSTi track to send to Ninjam for my remote bandmate to hear. Help!
Hi Adam great job on Reaper. Becoming a fan of your channel, I have a question in Pro Tools in recording punch mode you can punch in and out several times without stoping creating separate regions, but in reality once you engage recording starts to capture all the take in one underlying file, how can you achieve the same in Reaper I can’t seem to find the right setting..thanks..
thats daw is amazing
Adam if you don''t mind me asking. What microphone did you use to make this video. It really sounds great. Thanks !
Can’t remember exactly, but if it’s my regular setup then it’s a sennheiser mkh416
nice
Really nice video! Thank you for the nice info.
one thing that i dont get about reaper and track folders. Why cant you have, say, a drum folder and send from the snare to a aux verb, without it being pre delay? That doesnt make any sense. It defeats the purpose of having a bunch of tracks all nice and tidy in a folder. Logic can do this.
Adam Nice Theme is it available.?
Shift + double click item to set time selection to that item (is default to behavior)
I have made a custom action that I can bounce a track with or without effects, I can copy or move ( maybe copy and delete )that item to anywhere I put my edit cursor then I can extract left or right and then render that track to many options that you mentioned, by the way Reaper is so useful and also so incredible, I sometimes say that I'm going to Creat a custom action that it will make a cup of tea or coffee, maybe two or three.... Turkish coffee with or without sugar.....😂😂😂. I love Reaper,
I make special themes for my different Production activities like arrangement or recording or mix mastering, I can talk so many hours about this awesome DAW.
Tnx for your great videos.
I'm Kambiz from Iran.
Have you ever worked with special IR's on Reaverb (my favourite stock plugin),
I had all the reverb vsts like audio ease reverbs, exponential reverbs, all Lexicon and slate digital reverbs and so many from different companies, but these days I have uninstalled all of them except. Waves Rverb because I use it only for my vocal since ten years ago.
In addition, I have to mention that I have all the DAWs and I used to work with all them since 4 years ago. But whenever I remember that day I watched a video from Andi Vax( Ukrainian mastering Engineer) I guess, I decided to start working with it, I fell in love with REAPER, because I spend my time correctly
You're voice sounds cool man, a little Iggy Pop in there
Its very useful and fruitful for beginner like me. And can you do the same tutorial with Studio One DAW?
Not really, I don’t know it well enough
Dude your music rocks! Where can I hear it?
You remind me of the neil buchanan of studio videos.
Great job in all seriousness.
This is.... art attack!
He was in a metal band. How appropriate!
@@adamsteelproducer haha id heard about that. Think i gave them a breif listen.
Im starting to settle into reaper as my new daw thanks to yur vids.
Went from having used cubase forever, to cakewalk which i loved the workflow on but its too buggy.
Thanks for your tips. I'm a big Reaper-fan myself - which is why I also use it when it comes to true collaboration (the importance of which increased lately as getting together has been restricted due to the Corona pandemy). The solution I integrated with the help of a couple of Reaper scritps is called MusiCollaboration (www.MuCol.ch):
Those scripts allow from a "main-project" to generate instrument specific projects which can be shared over any of the available cloud-services (such as google-drive, OneDrive, iCloud or Dropbox). The instrument projects can be used for recording or practicing independently from all other participants. The recordings made in all instrument projects and also the main-project can be synchronized using plugin-independent backtracks so that everyone involved has the latest work results available to them.

Hi, I´m new to Reaper, I was cubase and recently Studio One. Is there a possibility to load a plugin on all tracks in the mixer at the same time?
Actually this may be a better option ruclips.net/video/riIKh8Okq4U/видео.html
Make a reaper 6 favorite tricks!
Great content!!!!!!!! But... name Of the song?
@adamsteele is there a way to burn a project right to CD in reaper? I can do it on acid pro
Yeah export to audio cd and change the settings. But why? It’s 2020
Is there any chance that you could share this Reaper Theme?
Great vid!
It’s the default theme
Who's Zed? Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead.
Hi Adam do you know about clicking on solo track to render a track that you pick to render. and could you make a video on tricks in rendering tracks.
That sounds like hard work, why not just select a track then render as a stem? I’ve made a video on that, it’s in the reaper playlist
@@adamsteelproducer I will have a look thanks
I'm stopping it at the 2:00 mark to ask . . . the multiband compressor is at 1:1? I haven't learned my multiband compressor yet, so maybe I'm reading it wrong? *edit: okay nevermind LOL If I would have just watched for a few more seconds, you click on one of the bands and it shows the ratio jump up. Man it feels like I've learned so very much in the last couple months, while simultaneously feeling like there's such a multitude left to learn.
I have EXdrummer2 in Reaper and the display is midget - maybe less than a sixth of the screen. Barely usable, no fun, no progress. I don't have many plugins, a couple of reverbs and compressors, the "in house" Cockos stuff is good so basically, all the effects are available to me except - midget EZdrummer2.
I've tried everything, no luck. Anyone know how to fix this and release my inner John Bonham?
Do you have a video of setting preferences in Reaper? Maybe your suggestions.
Well no, since that’s incredibly user specific and machine specific. My settings are never alike on 2 machines or sometimes even 2 days
Hop Pole Studios thanks. There’s a specific thing I want to change so I don’t have to do it every time. Under options where is says “New recording that overlaps existing media items,” I would like to set that to “Trims existing items behind new recording (tape mode)” by default, but I can’t figure out where or how to change that. If you could help I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
In Davinci Resolve, Backspace is delete, and delete is ripple delete. So confusing. I love that Reaper gives the option of changing commands. But is there a way to export your Reaper to another device? My laptop is slowly grinding to a halt, and I've been a bit afraid to customize the keystrokes and interface too much, as I expect I'll get a new computer sometime relatively soon.
You can install Reaper as a Portable install, and carry the whole thing in a folder.. I do it and works perfect, you can even put it on a pendrive and use in other places
Export your configuration file. On the new system you'll have to change the locations of the folders/drives for saving, rendering, searching for VST and etc.
@@BATS2288 Hey thanks!
i'm thinking of buying ur course..but i need to be clear ...is it for total beginners ?(that's what i'm after)..thanks
Yes it is- from the very beginning!
6:33 reaper already has ripple edit btw, unless i'm missing something you didn't need to do that
I think if you check your time line you'll find that REAPER had many cool features BEFORE other DAWS.
Why not both?
What about Audio Quantize when I want to double or triple my Guitar Riffs? How it works in Reaper?
I wouldn’t wish quantizing guitars on my worst enemy.
@@adamsteelproducer for triple difficult Riffs it is necessary..
That was really bad when Glenn Fricker totally shot down your new studio design on a live cast when you were kind enough to come on his show.
I’ve been using pro tools for a long time but I use a lot of out board gear. Will reaper I/o work in the same manner?
Ive used OB gear with reaper. A plugin is used for routing. Very powerful and intuitive. typical drag n drop to change order of OBG in track / group, buss, aux
Yeah the ReaInsert plugin is amazing, it means outboard hardware can be used on the fly with in and out level matching, inbuilt perfect delay compensation and even inline midi in/out
@@adamsteelproducer yes I’m strongly considering reaper and I will take your course if I do. I have a lot of external hardware and external hardware on master bus which I feed to a print track. I have 16 in and out and additional 16 seat. I’m hoping I can set the I/o the same way on reaper. That would be perfect
@@adamsteelproducer 16 adapt also
Meant Adam not seat.
Hi Adam, new subscriber here. I have a question I need serious help with. I’m using Reaper and I use a lot of outboard gear when mixing: I have grouped outs running into a summing mixer, into my mix buss chain, and back into Reaper. Problem is I don’t know how to monitor only what’s coming back in from my mix buss. I get my mix sounding good, and then print it back into Reaper and it sounds completely different; when it prints/records the final 2 track I’m hearing doubling and volume raised (probably because of monitoring 2 feeds at once during the print), but just while listening during the print, not after it recorded. I’ve tried messing around with all the routing and pre/post fader but I have no idea how to only monitor what’s coming back in from my mix buss during a mix session. Very frustrating because it’s just wasting time hearing something that won’t make the final print. The outboard chain is working because I can make tweaks while mixing/printing and they translate (even did outboard automation on a print to be sure), but everything sounds different before I arm the Mix Buss track for final print, then doubles while it’s armed, and prints something that sounds different from the original mix before arming to record the final 2 track. Please help... Thanks and I appreciate you brother!
Sounds to me like you need to look at your tracks and the “master out”. In each group track’s IO, make sure master output is disabled so that you only send it to the outboard gear and not directly to the monitors- then you can have the new processed chain come back on a track with monitoring enabled. That way you can hear changes in real time, and once the print is done you can then solo that track with no record enabled, and it should be identical. Hope this helps!
To summarize, I can’t figure out how to disengage monitoring of the Sends that go out to my outboard gear (I think that’s the problem?). When I engage ‘Record Monitoring: ON’ while armed, I get the doubles. But I can control all the outboard gear and hear it affecting the mix before I click on ‘Record Monitoring: ON’ for the final print... But when it prints back it sounds completely different, but still includes my outboard because I did an automation print to test. It’s a different mix before I engage the monitoring for the print track, then it doubles while armed with monitoring for printing, and then prints out completely different from both (doesn’t print doubled, just way different). I’m so confused and don’t know how to figure this out. It’s probably super easy, but sooo frustrating. I missed out on sending my “Chelsea” mix because of this, and someone selling me broken cables (didn’t realize until after setting up my patchbay a couple days ago 😤). Sorry for the long messages, but I’ve tried messing with Record Monitoring and Pre/Post Faders to my groups/sends and can’t figure it out...Again, thank you, and I hope you can help me!! Peace!
Like I said, open up the IO routing on each group and un-tick “master”. That should stop you hearing the pre-outboard version
Hop Pole Studios Sorry, my phone didn’t update with your responses while I typed my second message. Thanks for the quick responses and I’ll read them right meow!!
Hop Pole Studios Yeah I already did all that bro. Nothing is going to the master, they’re all going to sends and all tracks have the ‘Master Send’ unclicked/disabled. And all my sends are going directly to Hardware Outputs. Only thing engaging to the “MASTER” channel is my Mix Buss track I created that has my analog Ins to print my final 2 track.
Linkable effects. Nice!
Starts at 1:02
Mr Adam you are making very high quality video but we are in initial stage here we are not able to digest your given knowledge on reaper hence i request you to please help us by disseminating the knowledge following
Look at the reaper 101 video
Hello bro you Can make a tutorial on the mixing vocals rap with plugins reaper please 👏👏👏
No sorry
@@adamsteelproducer ok fine but why?
I don’t have the time, I don’t specialize in rap, there are a ton of tutorials out there already that cover this- take your pick
@@adamsteelproducer ok fine thanks bro 👍👍👏👏
Very Nice! - I wish more people would make cool Reaper vids- Anyone have ClearView Extended yet? I donated and got the package...I like to support Reaper People! - and the Magic-Mushrooms and Deep Space are cool sometimes. .heh- if you like themes-
Your first “trick” can be accomplished literally when using latch write... it grabs any parameter you change while its in latch mode.
You’ve missed the point entirely- you can link several automation parameters and have them move based on a single move of one parameter
Apologizes if this sounds harm - I feels like it's Wheatly from Portal 2 guiding me how to mix XD
thanks for tricks anyway
Let's hope you sell 10,000+ courses.
Let’s hope! I’ll retire to my private island. Or buy all the audio gear and be broke again.
Guess which one will happen first.... 😆
Did he just do a massive wink to audience at 2 seconds ???
I think it was supposed to be a nod of the head and came out as some one-sided twitch!

Maybe it was some subliminal control method....... 😜
@@adamsteelproducer I'm searching for it next broadcast !
I had no idea that James McAvoy makes music and even better, uses REAPER!
I’ve heard that before! Very strange but I’ll take it 😅
@@adamsteelproducer A bit in the looks and more so in your voice. I used to get Charlie Sheen, which didn't bother me so much until he went bat shit crazy. Nice job on the video, BTW.
Well this isn't overwatch tips
Very good but could you please refrain from using hyperbole? It really undermines your message. Tx
I’m just being myself, and the message is that Reaper is good and there are things I like about it. Hyperbole is part of me, so sorry if it’s not working for you.
@@adamsteelproducer be sure to keep up with the hyperbole! I like it. Speaks of artistic expressiveness needed in music. Kind of gating the noise out of the talk and emphasizing on and amping what is important.
@@adamsteelproducer Hyperbole is like the loudness wars: maxing out on compression leaves no room for dynamics and therefore impact is lost. Believe me, I wouldn't have made the observation if I didn't respect the value of your content. That's all.
Sadly, Your video is too blurry for me, to actually see what you are doing. Love the info, but for that.
Video titles with numbers in them are getting very annoying. So many youtubers are making list videos!
But it’s some things that I like, and the number happens to be five. What’s wrong with that? And since it’s uncharacteristic for me, what’s the issue? It’s not like I’m pumping out a load of top 10 videos and nothing else
@@adamsteelproducer Top 10 times the sound guy flips off some guy in the comments
Too many ads. Not watching any more of this channel.
Also......with "spectral peaks" enabled.....if you are using the Reaper's sampler (reasampleomatic 5000) ...... the wave file appears black as usual but if you click on the sound wave that the sampler is showing and scroll DOWN with the mouse wheel.... it will show the color of spectral peaks
