I've been using Reaper for about four years now using it to record audio and create videos for my YT channel, so I'm fairly fluent. Yet I still watch all your videos regardless of how basic the subject matter may appear to be because I always learn something new. Reaper is so robust, so full of 'hidden' features and options that it is impossible to discover all the capabilities without having a mentor. You're my guy. Thanks for being there!
Literally EVERYTIME ma man Kenny uploads I look at the topic ("Ah, OK, it's the transport bar"), and then at the timeline ('15.35), and I'm like: "Whaaat?? 15 full minutes? Impossible! What's there to know about that topic that takes 15 minutes??" End of the video: "I am unworthy, I am unworthy!"
Right. I see a 20 minute video on TRACK COLORS AND ICONS. I'm like 20 minutes!?? I better watch this cuz I missed something. You're right EVERY GOT DANG TIME.... LOLZ
Thank you so much for another great tutorial! I learn so much with your tutorials. I was just looking how to auto punch in and out and here it is. Thanks again for showing us how to use the transport bar more efficiently.
3:47 rather based on loop points, it just so happened that Kenny had the option 'Link loop points to time selection' enabled (default), but time selection doesn't affect loop scope it seems that many users don't realize this, and even one SWS action performed incorrectly due to confusion on the part of its developer
I found the controls to put the transport below the mixer, at the bottom of the screen. Better for using with the midi editor screen at larger settings. Also prefer Default 4 Theme, and use 'export configurations', so if I work on another machine, I can import that configuration file to keep those settings.
I'm continued to be blown away by just how feature rich REAPER is as a DAW, but also how informative your video's are Kenny - great work. There are lots of us wondering if this is the right move for us. Imbedded in Ableton, Studio One etc and getting fed up with the constant update [fees] cycle. Thanks for all you do for the community and your channel :)
This is good. I found the option by right-clicking the Transport > Docked transport position. I like "Top of main window". The option "Above ruler" seems to do the same thing? Or maybe it works differently if using more than one monitor?
@@TheMack I Believe the main difference is that, when you add a custom toolbar at the top of the window (above the time ruler), the transport is displayed under this toolbar when "above ruler" and above this toolbar when "top of main window".
Preserve pitch is also a great function that might fit the premise of this video. Kinda, sorta, not really Thank you Kenny for all you do. You have taught me & many others well😅
For those who didn't find it by themselves ;) it's in the right-click menu Kenny shows at the end (right-clicking the rate control). I always, always have that enabled, drives me crazy when I want to listen to something slow and it's half an octave off pitch.
Is there a way to hide the "selection" information from transport panel? Thats an info I never needed and never will. I have checked all settings and action modifiers. Nothing helped.
Thx for the tutorial. Is there anywhere to change the transport layout to be the same layout as previous versions where the stop button is left of play? I don't understand why this was changed and it is hard to get used to for me.
Kenny, would you answer a question for me. I hit some keys by accident and my mixer disappeared, but not like when you choose to hide it. I can bring it back, but it's not right. It sits on top of the main screen rather than within it, if that makes sense. Do you know how to get it back to normal? Updating software does nothing. Thanks in advance.
Noob - at about 11:19 there is a section on "Automation Mode" - not much info on the purpose of automation mode and what the options (latch, trim, etch) on the pop up tab for each track are about. I am guessing this is something that you can use to just play and record on a single individual track? I am sure this info is important and "I wanna know"! lol
Hello I have a question I saved my reaper sessions in the project tab but restated my computer when I try upload the saved session it uploads a rendered session of the mix down
