The question is : What can't Reaper do? The most customizable, simple on the surface but super deep, comprehensive and most professional DAW, i have ever used. You can make this DAW to do pretty much anything you want, with audio, and soon probably with video too, who knows. Now you can even replace sounds, just like that. No need to convert audio to MIDI anymore, or use plugins etc, unless it is your style. Reaper has not stagnated at all, it is still pushing forward. Amazing 🤘
Absolute more dynamic kicks, this is worth trying, sometimes I have projects where kicks are so poor, but they use different kicks to mix in. With all the disadvantages, you get. Phase and other problems. This is very useful, thanks Kenny, you just made my day. Also the snare is ringing a lot in the original, so this way is great to get rid of those. Or keep it and mix in with the sample. I consider this one of the most useful video's, for me. A lot of others are also great, but this is where my world will change. I used before the SPL drumexanger, but this is way more powerful. Amazing!
a really good trick. I would never have thought of that in 100 years. Instead, I might have bought a plugin for expensive money that doesn't even come close to the performance of the trick you presented in this video. 👍🤗
I find it is easier to just drop in a ReaGate and ReaSamplematic5000. From there just have ReaGate trigger a MIDI note. You can even record the MIDI to a new take if you want.
I wish dynamic split items was a bit easier to handle on Reaper but I had no idea I could just replace items like that... awesome, already planning a custom action to make it instantly!
Love your work brother. You help me so much on my albums! The narration video got me through. And now this to help w better replacement sampling on my drums. Can’t wait to tinker w this. Thank you and Gods blessings over you
I've been collecting them for years. They're around if you look.

Oh my! Thanks Kenny I've eaten so much time creating midi spikes (could you do a video on this topic please?) And using sampleomatic after. Your method is more efficient!
Not mentioned in the video, but this technique results in the new samples not having any of the dynamics of the original drum performance. This is probably most noticeable with snare, especially if there are any ghost notes, crescendoing fills, etc. It basically has a compression effect on the drums, with the ratio of the original sample to the new ones determining how much compression there is. All new drums = maximum compression. For some genres, this doesn't matter or is even desirable. For others, you will lose some of the feel of the original performance. Of course you can manually fix it with item volumes if you want to take the time.
But here’s my question, if we use reaper for our live mix at church how would we be able to layer samples on kick and snare without having to use triggers?
It would have been nice to do a volume leveled comparison rather than just adding to the volume with the samples. Everything always sounds better when louder!
So I’m having issues.. once I click dynamic split, everything works but some of the hits get duplicated so it sounds like it’s glitching out. Also, not all of the transients are being split.. some are getting missed. Any advice on how to fix that?
