Still, I’m saying this as an advice, but don’t rely on this to make you sound on time, never stop practicing with a metronome! It sucks, I know, but in the long run, it’ll make you better, more on time and less time spent on editing! Cheers!
@@charlespetitclerc1256 True. Same thing goes to vocal. I learned that it's better to learn proper technique rather than spending so much time on EQ, stretch/warp, or tuning. For example I wasted my time trying to fix nasally voice when it could've been fixed with a retake lol.
I really enjoy how in all of your videos, you start with the slow, manual way of doing something so you can explain exactly why you do each part of a task; THEN you move on to "Oh, and by the way, this is how you do all of that automatically, or much more efficiently."
Excellent. Glad you put this out today as I was reading up on stretch markers not three hours ago. Haha. Also, I really appreciate how you show several methods of doing the same thing. That's exceptionally helpful and informative. Peace
OH. MY. GOSH! I've been on Reaper for 10 years - can't believe I've never seen these. Using a lot of audio samples in my music this will make life tons easier. Thank you!
I've started using stretch markers last Thursday, and my recordings sound so much tighter now. Thanks for this updated video, which clarifies the different techniques and shortcuts.
Great guide Kenny - just a quick note. When using dynamic split to add stretch markers by detecting the threshold of the transients, the option 'Display gate threshold in media items' isn't checked by default, which makes setting the threshold correctly more time consuming and difficult, sine you're then forced to use your peak metres. The dialogue window for the gate also isn't floating by default, as seen in this example. Awesome guide, just wanted to leave a comment in case other Reaper users struggle with this option. Keep up the good work! :)
Kenny, I quad tracked a song and the guitar notes are all over the place (I tried to get good takes, but it seems impossible to track it perfectly), I watched this video and stayed up all night moving the notes around on all four guitar tracks. Thank you!
Thanks Kenny!!! I was putting a song together this weekend and I really had some timing issues. This makes adjustments sooo much easier. Thank you for this demo on Stretch Markers!!❤❤❤
Fun fact : I noticed after doing this that there were some blue stretch markers , the rest were red . When I played back these sections the blue parts were out of sync . By dragging these markers down to match the red ones “ everything “ was now perfectly synced . This is a game changer for me because now I can alter my creation process. Usually I create a drum track 1st and build around it BUT now I can start with any instrument or even vocals and perfectly sync everything else afterwards. THANK YOU SO MUCH !
Thats totally possible but keep in mind that your mileage may vary when it comes to some instruments especially those without super clear transient dynamics. If you try to do this with something with a long release or a bassline with constant signal you'll introduce unnatural sounding "artifacts".
Nice, I'll try the "transient guides" next time. I use the stretch markers as you shown, for quickly aligning my guitar parts. The thing I regret is it is a "hard" quantize, you need extra scripts to be able to quantize with a percentage and have a more natural feeling, while still doing this automatically.
Hahahaha, I'm watching your other video about stretch markers, and there is a notification of this video ... Thank you Kenny, God bless Regards, From Indonesia....
Hi Kenny great video as always. I noticed that when you're moving stretch markers you can drag the marker up and down as well. What is that for? Cheers
I wish you can do the a video like the previous one you did for singers 'how to record your first track in reaper' do for rappers as well. Like how to add fx and all the effects for HipHop/Rap type of a tamplate, would really appreciate for life Kenny. I been doing it lately and just cut seem to find a right template for rap .
add a compressor (like ReaComp) with a ratio of 4, threshold getting about 6db of gain reduction, fast attack, fast release, then with an eq (ReaEQ for example), cut everything under 100 or 150Hz, if you feel like it lower the mids around 500hz, and boost the top end maybe about 2Khz and above by 2db or something, add reverb (ReaVerbate) at the end, but dont go too crazy on the wet value, keep it lower than you might think, again, all of this values really depend, on the sound of the beat you are using, the tone of the voice, and the mic used, if you get stuck with the fx settings, you could look up Kenny's videos on those specific plugins i mentioned, good luck
Do you recommend bouncing to a new clip after correcting the timing with stretch markers? If you leave it as is, you might accidentally change it doing some other editing in the future. What do you think?
Does anyone know how to do this with stereo tracks? So like using stretch markers for two recordings of the same piano (left ear and right ear). I need the stretch markers to be in the identical time positions for both
Kenny, I used pro tools as my learning DAW, but now I am using and loving reaper. When using warp or stretch markers in pro tools, the computer was using a lot of RAM or CPU )If I had multiple tracks with these markers) so I had to press something like "Commit to elastic audio" to make pro tools render or something the selected track ... Do I have to do the same in reaper (Something like commit to elastic audio) after adjusting all my stretch markers ?? Yes, no ? and how ? Thanks in advance !!
Any chance you could do a video using stretch markers to line up a long audio track made on Reaper and a long video track made with a camera with a lot of drift?
i love all ur vids, such a wonderful resource! thank you. i have a question pertaining to stretch markers; although very mindful where to place them when aligning vocals, i find that i get a popping sound at the point of marker which makes the vocal unsable. am i doing something obviously wrong?
Hey Kenny. Can you make a video about adjusting bass to the rhythm of the drums and not to the grids? I have a problem that everything was recorded more or less in rhythm with the drums, only bass line and acoustic guitar is are out of the rhythm because actually it's a fault of the drums player. Instead of recording again drums and bass, then acoustic, electric and 4 violins, cause it's impossible because of bass player and drums player not willing to do it (it's a nonprofit project) I'd like to resolve it with only recording acoustic guitar after I adjust bass to the rhythm of the drums. Is it possible to do it? And how?
hi i use reaper with mackie mixer,i love the sound from mixer.If i render in reaper it's in the box,not the sound from mixer so i wanna know if i can record the mixer out with reaper while play my music in it.Thnx
F*** sake, it was this simple all along. Dynamic split adds stretch markers with the ability to modify the sensitivity as well as delete unnecessary markers. THANK YOU KENNY for the medicine to relieve my headache, I am a Bass player in a band where mainly the guitar player has always had a problem with trying to lead the foundation and a drummer who can't resist the urge to stop listening to me and follow the guitar player instead. Which anyone who knows, is like just a matter of a few Bars and Measures from acceleration of the tempo and its so hard to reel them back in once they start walking off track. It's frustrating. So I have finally conceded that I have to teach myself to be the engineer who edits the problems out and mixes everything properly because years have been wasted on thousands of takes that apparently paying the going rate for local sound studios (which in So. CA is a premium) who invest a lot of money into studio equipment they obviously don't know how to use. Anyway, thank you, I learned what to do and I know exactly how I can use dynamic splits now.
Is it possible to transfer stretch markers from one item to another? I'd like to use drum transients one one track to stretch another track to fit the grid. Thanks!
this is fucking amazing! so simple and user friendly. finally just had to pay the modest 60$ fee, this software has helped me so much its hard not to admire the creators. and as usual Kenny your tutorials are platinum!
A really great video! I'm currently creating an AB test with 10 different tracks. Does anyone have a tip for exclusive solo switching without clipping or clicks? My files are all in sync so far, with some help of the stretch markers and Time Align Reaper script.
I just figured out why Kenny is such a mellow, giving person. He takes all his aggression out on his keyboard.
As a guitar player who struggles with timing, I find this feature of Reaper invaluable. And awesome tutorial as always Kenny.
Still, I’m saying this as an advice, but don’t rely on this to make you sound on time, never stop practicing with a metronome! It sucks, I know, but in the long run, it’ll make you better, more on time and less time spent on editing! Cheers!

I never considered using the dynamic split with stretch markers! Thanks for expanding my knowledge 🧠🤯
OH. MY. GOSH! I've been on Reaper for 10 years - can't believe I've never seen these. Using a lot of audio samples in my music this will make life tons easier. Thank you!
I've started using stretch markers last Thursday, and my recordings sound so much tighter now. Thanks for this updated video, which clarifies the different techniques and shortcuts.
Thanks, I was just wondering how to do this in Reaper. You're videos have been incredibly helpful to me, thank you!
Really powerful timesavers, compared to cutting, moving and fading each item or note manually. Thank you very much, Kenny!
I find your instructional videos to be a fantastic resource for Reaper users. Thank you so much. Please keep them coming.
there are so many cool things in Reaper... it is mind boggling how much i learn from these tutorials.. AWESOME
Thanks for saving my mix! I was pulling my hair out trying to get some things to line up. This is exactly what I need!
I didn't know reaper could do this. Great video
Ditto. Really appreciate your work to educate us all. Thanx Kenny!

Just the video I was looking for Kenny. Thanks so much. I hope you and your family are safe and well these days.

Very helpful video. Thanks!
You really are a talented teacher.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
Thank you for making this video! It is really useful.
ahhh reaper i love you! kenny you are reaper king!
Watching Kenny's videos makes me wonder if there is anything he doesn't know about Reaper.
The answer to that would be no ! Lol
Kenny - THE G.O.A.T of Reaper. Period.
Dude you are literally a life saver. Thanks a ton
respect my brother, i really love your work. top quality.
Much appreciated
many thanks
I'm in love Reaper again.

Reaper is a life AND time saver!
Nice!!
Wow! Time saving tips! Thanks!
Thank you. That’s really helpful 😊
Hi Kenny great video as always. I noticed that when you're moving stretch markers you can drag the marker up and down as well. What is that for? Cheers
Excellent video!
What about a mulitrack drum session? How can do the same affecting all the tracks at once?
Excellent!
I wish you can do the a video like the previous one you did for singers 'how to record your first track in reaper' do for rappers as well.

Como siempre suoer útil la información, muchísimas gracias bro
QUESTION: Can this be done on multiple tracks at once, to edit drums for example?
Perfect! Thank you!
Amazing
Thank you so much!!
Amazing! Thanks for this video! Great job’
How didn't I know about this?
I have been wasting my time and resources by spliting tracks and stretch them by pressing alt lol
Thanks for the video!
Bonjour Kenny Merci pour ce tutoriel (Thierry from france)
Great video, thanks for sharing 👍
Do you recommend bouncing to a new clip after correcting the timing with stretch markers? If you leave it as is, you might accidentally change it doing some other editing in the future. What do you think?
Oh man... this is going to be helpful!

Its a great tool, thank you. One question: how do I save the changes and discard the stretch markers?
Any chance you could do a video using stretch markers to line up a long audio track made on Reaper and a long video track made with a camera with a lot of drift?
Very usefull!
i love all ur vids, such a wonderful resource! thank you. i have a question pertaining to stretch markers; although very mindful where to place them when aligning vocals, i find that i get a popping sound at the point of marker which makes the vocal unsable. am i doing something obviously wrong?
2022, awesome tutorial,
thx you so much.
You're welcome!
awesome. thnx!
Awesome stuff, thank you for that \o/
thanks a lot, very usefull!
Hey Kenny! Sorry for annoying you but, in which video you talk about stretch markers not stretching the audio?
Thank you very much again
sick
Is there a way to easily drag markers in a midi track so it can me made to match a wav track?
and need to do that to an intro solo!

This will be suuuuper handy for fixing up my sloppy improvised drumming.
i did this and it just changed all the pitches of my notes and theyre not even that out of time, dyou know wht it'd be doing that?
Kenny, how does the zooming/ scrolling around the session look so smooth for you?
Editing.
At least he is honest! 🤣
you use the mouse wheel, combined with modifiers, like alt, or shift+alt, and then the wheel, also, make sure your cursor is over the editing area
