Hey, Kenny. The 'Split All if Nothing is Selected' thing will not work if it's not toggled on in Preferences. Made me nuts for a couple of hours. Maybe you want to mention to people?
There is so much value in Reaper. To which Kenny contributes a lot. I am only a year into using DAWs and I am glad I chose Reaper. Learning along the way is so easy and fun. You are a great teacher. Jedi teacher level achieved! ❤
I use splitting all the time. One of my favorite tools. I learned a few new ideas watching tho, thank you KG. I will highly suggest to users to always use fades or crossfades on splits because direct splits without a fade can make popping noises during playback.
All DAWs: You split items/regions by this combo. The end. Reaper DAW: 11:25min video. I like Ctrl + left click for splitting items in Reaper personally and I dislike Cmd+E when I use Ableton Live but it is what it is.
Isn’t there a toolbar button you can choose that will change the behavior of the mouse? I vaguely remember a toolbar button that toggles the action to split items at every left mouse click. What would be even more amazing is if we could have an action to split with the right or middle mouse button. Is there a way to do that?
@@galgogergo Yes, but if it was using the Right Click, then I could have a normal cursor that I use all the time, plus the Split Tool and wouldn’t have to be pushing “S” 50,000x a project.
At 6:50 how did you do the zoom out thing? You grabbed the ruler and it zoomed out? How do you turn that on? (They have it in Studio One, but it doesn't work for me in Reaper unfortunately. It's a nice feature)
this can be done with a custom action: Item: Split items at edit cursor (select left) View: Move cursor left one pixel (ADD AS MANY OF THESE AS THE LENGTH OF THE FADE YOU NEED) Item: Fade items out from cursor
Is there a way to move a Split once it is created? For example: If I want to 'normalize' a vocal section - that is louder than the rest of my track - by splitting and adjusting the Input of the vocal in the Split selection. But I Split too late and clipped the beginning of a word. Can I 'slide' the Split back somehow? Or do I have to Glue my Split and do it over? (hopefully, that makes sense.)
grab the edge of the item and untrim it as much as needed to restore the waveform all edits in REAPER are non-destructive splits don't require gluing to restore the item, if after the split nothing has changed use "Item: Heal splits in items", mind that this applies to the entire item, so all splits will be healed not just the wrong one
Yes, you can slide the split. Let's just say you have numbers 1-10 instead of words (it might make it easier to explain). If you split between 2 & 3 and also between 4 & 5 you have a split that is 2 numbers wide (3 & 4). You can then select section 3 & 4 and turn it's volume down. If you then realize your split should have been for 4 & 5 instead of 3 & 4, you can select all of the track items by double clicking in the TCP, grab the center edge of that selection of 3 & 4, and just slide it to the right one number. It slides the fade. Or, if you meant to select 3, 4, & 5, you can select just the section with 3 & 4, grab the center of the edge of that split, & pull it to the right to include 5. Hope that makes sense.
yes, with a custom action: Item: Select item under mouse cursor Move edit cursor to nearest zero crossing in items Item: Split items at edit or play cursor (select right)
