Just built a PC after years of music production on phone/tablet with Caustic 3, Cubasis and Logic Pro for iPad I'm blown away by the level of customization Reaper has, and so excited to learn Thanks for the videos man
Fun fact, the reason Reaper exist is because the developer felt pro tools, logic, cubase were too restrictive with their their workflows when he was learning new daws lol. So that's most likely the reason why there's nothing like reaper lol.
Great video. It's somewhat tragic that FL Studio has the most intuitive piano roll (IMO). I get ideas laid out so fast with it. I moved to Logic because it's more optimized for mac (FL studio is buggy on it) and the piano roll is so annoying to use, takes twice as much time to get work done on it. Will give Reaper another try!
That's what's up I was a FL user for many years and couldn't find a piano roll that was better until I customized Reapers piano roll... Now I'm just as fast in Reaper that I am in FL.. I do have a video showing how I set all this up... Thanks for watching...😀🙏🏾
I would love to see REAPER implement the polyphonic pitch bend for MPE synths that Bitwig and Live has. Also, REAPER's MIDI filter is really powerful for selecting notes, especially when dealing with complex or long arrangements.
People in other DAWs do slide notes using Portamento. 36:00 You didn't show them the inline piano roll in the arrange view. It's arguably more useful than having a fixed waveform in the back of the piano roll. Amazing video. I have another account where I had planned to make videos like this a few years ago, but I'm so happy you're doing it!
I like Cakewalk but it has some limitations when trying to record and quantize... Definitely one of my favorite piano rolls... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
I love both fl and reaper. I think fl's midi editor is slightly more intuitive but reaper's has endless possibilities and is great in it's own way. I still think cubase has the best overall midi editor i just love it
Yes resizing but not stretching.. and those arrows stretch and shrink midi... You cannot do it from the left side in FL Studio but you can in Reaper.. thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
That's what's up I really need to get more into Cubase I just can't keep paying for the updates they are killer .. 😂... I think they are working on 13 now might have to wait for that before buying 12.... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
Great video, sir! Thank you for sharing. I recently asked in a forum which features FL Studio has that Reaper lacks and I was told "New Tone pitch correction". I looked it up and indeed seems really nice. But then again... for 89€. Not really a fair comparison with Reaper that costs 0, if you ask me.
Reaper does have reapitch it has a tab to edit like melodine ot newtone to correct notes... Definitely check it out if you haven't it's not as fancy with the blobs but does show the lines of pitch that can be corrected... Hope this helps...😀🙏🏾
Hello, excellent tutorial I have a question. How do I configure the piano roll with a single click? I mean, so that I can enter the notes in one click as Fl Studio? Can you help me please? Thank you very much, best regards
I could write a novel about what I hate about piano rolls in a few DAWs. I have a few things figured out with Reapers piano roll. I do most things to midi notes on an item level and eventually glue them back together. I find it easier
That's what's up... A lot of people don't use the piano roll they just play instruments but a lot of people come from FL Studio use this method so I wanted to explore it in Reaper to let people know you can do this in Reaper just like any other DAW maybe even better
@@learningreaperAgreed , just playing around with Saike Dum drums a free js script its pretty raw and different synth drums. Have no idea how it works quite yet but like the 'Filth preset' Its made for Reaper and that is good
Alguien sabe cómo configurar para que en Reaper, en el piano Roll puedas insertar notas solo dando un click como en el Fl Studio? No me gusta que deba darle doble click a cada nota para poder insertar una nota en el piano de Reaper :( Ayuda por favor, gracias.
I believe those because accessibility. I`m not using FL studio but from this video I can see several easy built in tools that interesting . And most important , it still feel natural in term of musical notes ( not just random) Yeah Reaper maybe is the king when we`re talking about customizable but that`s need proper setup meanwhile FL studio users can start utilizing those functions after installing the main program . IF Image Line someday decide to porting their piano rolls and those built in features into a " SEQUENCER" plugin , I can see that will be blast right ? In other spectrum there is Bitwig which takes different takes for spicing our midi notes via their operator and note FXs
Thanks for the comment.... I agree out the box FL Studio is one of the best DAWs to use and they are getting better with every release... And the lifetime updates are great... I want to say they have the most built in vsts instruments as well right out the box... I haven't gotten into BitWig yet I haven't had it the time to try it out but I might have to try it seeing I have it on my computer...lol
@@learningreaper and if you're doing audio there is a pitch bend envelope to do bends on audio. It's an extra step to render the audio and then bend it, but it's there.
@@learningreaper I don't have these types of skills either but I'm going to look into that. There has to be some way that we can set a glide through custom actions, maybe something involving pitch bend. I'll have a look and I'll get back to you if I find something. :)
Yes it's a script that someone made.... You can check the piano roll setup video and I show how I setup my piano roll like this video... Let me know if you have questions...😀🙏🏾
I agree... Thats why I modified Reaper to change the zooming and one click add notes ... This is why I really like Reaper everything is customizable to make it work for you where other DAWs you are stuck with there work flow... I have a video showing how to change the zooming and the piano roll to be smoother... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
Right out the box I would say yes it is... You do have to setup Reaper which turns people off... That's why I made a video showing from scratch how I set all this up... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
Started with fl and it waay out of the box. But after a few tutorials and a few hours tweaking, my workflow is so much faster in fl. Piano roll is so much better to use and everything just works all while using less than half the cpu
I guess you didn't watch the video... I explained why Reapers was better with facts not assumptions... Reaper does mark the scale your in and you can lock the scale which FL just got ... Reaper has had this for years now.. they just got scripts as well Reaper has had this for years as well... Don't get me wrong I really like FL Studio but facts are facts and FL has been dethroned and many people just don't know it yet... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
@@learningreaper Bueno, no soy fan de FL, y Reaper está tremendo actualmente. El tema de escalas es que le faltan muchas escalas, además que no quedan las Ghost Notes de las escalas como en Cakewalk, aunque eso no vi en muchos Daws. Saludos.-
you don't need to mark the scale as reaper literally has had scale lock which FL lacked for years. You can add other scales in Reaper and it supports ghost notes as well.

When I learned how to apply swing to the piano roll in Reaper I was sold
That's what's up... Alot of cool things get over looked in Reaper...😀🙏🏾
Hey bro thanks for this video. It's exactly the kind of detailed comparison I was looking for.
That's what's up .. glad you got something out of the video...😀🙏🏾

Added in V7.

The best piano roll is in reaper not only compare to fl studio......I work a lot with studio one and cubase too , but reaper is the best one
Agreed... The customization trumps everything else... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
Cakewalk!!!!!!!! No.1 MIDI Seq...30+ Year... Best of best!!!
I like Cakewalk but it has some limitations when trying to record and quantize... Definitely one of my favorite piano rolls... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾

Thats an interesting one Cubase... I haven't really tapped into Cubase midi editor I might have to revisit that DAW haven't used it in a while....😀🙏🏾
@@learningreaper You should. it's worth it.
fantastic. Hugely helpful. TY.
Thank you for watching...😀🙏🏾
FL does allow resizing from left but you have to enable it under the edit window
shortcut version : CTRL + Alt + Home
Yes resizing but not stretching.. and those arrows stretch and shrink midi... You cannot do it from the left side in FL Studio but you can in Reaper.. thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
6:15 - Had no idea! Love watching videos and picking up new tricks every time! TY XEL!!!
Yea so many hidden gems in Reaper... Glad you got something out of the video...😀🙏🏾
Cubase 12 has midi editor with on top global track that can display audio track and more perfect aligned so you cab see transients.
That's what's up I really need to get more into Cubase I just can't keep paying for the updates they are killer .. 😂... I think they are working on 13 now might have to wait for that before buying 12.... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾

It took me a very long time to realize that reaper is all I need, and now I can't think of another DAW, reaper is a miracle!!!
Yea .. same here .. I used many DAWs and Reaper seems to be the one that sticks... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
I've used FL since 1999. I've been using it to record, but I'm deciding on another DAW. This video has really helped. Thank you.
Glad you got something out of the video...😀🙏🏾
🤯 Reaper 😤
Yea ... It's a beast for sure... Lol...😀🙏🏾
Amazing video!
😀🙏🏾
I love your videos... thanks!
Thank you... And thanks for watching...😀🙏🏾
Thanks bro appreciate you 🙏🏽
Glad I could help... The midi editor use to drive me crazy until I realized I could customize it to my liking... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
Genius

strong work good sir
Reaper midi sequencer is solid if you tweak it stand as is not so much ... 😂... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾

Reaper has note fx as well, they are all MIDI JSFXs, but with Paranormal FX router, you can kinda do the Note grid thing in Reaper too.
All Hail our lord and Saviour of 2023 (REAPER)

Yo Reaper can slide notes now for mpe vsts. in reaper 7
Yea... I just did a video today talking about it... 😂... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾

Have you tried to create slides by creating a custom action?
I wouldn't know what I would need to create that... I have no programing skills at all... Lol... If you have any suggestions I'm open to hear them...

Yes it's a script that someone made.... You can check the piano roll setup video and I show how I setup my piano roll like this video... Let me know if you have questions...😀🙏🏾
i love reaper but i cant get over the zooming and painting, feal wierd.

@@learningreaper yer, have seen that by now ;) thx for making me gif it another shot.
Changed my horizontal zoom to ctrl and mouse wheel. Verticle zoom to alt plus mouse wheel. Very easy to do and feels very natural.
Reaper is a Animal if u can't see dat your out of key.
😂 I feel ya... Definitely needs some tweaking but once it's done it's a beast for sure ..
as a reaper user
fl studio is easier and simple

only if you've only used FL studio only in your life if you've used any other daw before in your life, you wouldn't say that lol
