I personally use McSequencer when i wanna do the step sequencing thing, but most of the time I like using RS5K manager from MPL as like the Ableton style drum rack in Reaper. There's also ReaDrum Machine from Suzuki.
@itsoundshuman10 күн бұрын
Yeah, I didn't feature RS5K, because it's more of a Sample handler thing. My main DAW is Ableton so I find intriguing the idea of having that here as well. Do you feel Suzuki really get's you where you want ¿fast? I felt it kinda clunky
@ranajoyshil5 күн бұрын
@@itsoundshuman I personally prefer to use RS5K manager for most of my drum needs as it's a sample based drum machine similar to how it works in other daws like ableton, bitwig, logic, s1 etc. and it fulfills all of my needs as before I had a template of bunch of RS5K instances and had to load drum samples manually where RS5K manager makes it super easy to load, trigger, manipulate, add effects to sample based drums in Reaper. I personally haven't tried ReaDrum, but it looks interesting. Yeah, but I personally prefer to use the midi editor to program drums instead of using any step sequencer as I find them very limiting and step sequencers like Sower or McSequencer aren't exclusive for drums either, and I've avoided them even when I was using FL studio full-time before switching to Reaper.

Cool! Please tell us in detail about the routing matrix. For example, virtual channels 3-4 for the sidechain, are they unique for this sidechain? or are they global for the whole project? If I sent a sidechain from a kick track to a bass track through virtual channels 3-4 and if I make another sidechain between piano and synth through channels 3-4, then the kick will affect the synth track? Thanks!
@itsoundshumanАй бұрын
Some Virtual Instruments use 3 - 4 for FX only Output, or Second Layer Built In. They are not global, the are Channels, pero Track. Probably the Syntj would listen to that Kick as well, just curious... why not do it from the Kick as well?

I use a lot of Zoom in & Out Commands on my keyboard, combined with the Marquee Zoom Tool in Mouse Modifiers & this action "View: Restore previous zoom level" On the Grid Setting Menu you can also modify the distance from where it snaps in Pixels but apparently it's not working for Dragging Timeline.

Maybe you know how to automatically make a send to a specific track? i think of something like that Lokasenna actions but where it is already destined that it's going to a track, say, named "reverb".
@itsoundshuman4 ай бұрын
Hi! I do remember the Lokasenna, but my fail with that is that you have to write the name just as it is. Op2: Shift + CMD + Left Click, opens a Menu for send. Op3: Create send between selected tracks and track under mouse cursor There's another one in the Reapack but it sends the Selected FX into a new Track and creates a Send into it. Something like Create Send from Focused Track & it appears under FX Category.
@NihilQuest4 ай бұрын
@@itsoundshuman Thanks, that's cool but not what I'm trying to achieve. I have a midi controller and I wanted to replicate a hardware console behavior, where I would send a track to a reverb with a knob or a button. Creating every new track with an active, but muted send to a reverb, would do the job but what a mess it would be as well. I'm guessing this all can be done with ReaLearn plugin but this is beyond my capabilities at the moment. This is frustrating, because that Lokasenna action is really close to what I want. A template where I would type the name of the send track into the code and save it as an action would be sufficient.

I think you misunderstood something about thunderbolt. => it's an active standard that is being used and very useful. What you were thinking about was Thunderbolt 2, which is on the way out, but Thunderbolt 3 and 4 use the usb c plug and are superior to usb c. It's a bit confusing with all the standards, but for professional use, I would rather have a thunderbolt connection than a USB one.

This an importante clarification. I have very clear the data options, but I probably should have shown the type of connector I want to stay completely away from, that Thunderbolt squared one.

I only wanted to question that thunderbolt is more professional for Audio than USB. I just find it remarkable that a highly professional brand like RME states that "superb audio quality and low latency are independent from the chosen connector" and prefers USB over Thunderbolt for most applications because it's "inexpensive, widely accepted, has enough bandwidth and will be supported for years to come". Side note: over the last year I had a Thunderbold interface from Antelope. Bad drivers I think: Thunderbolt wasn't recognized anymore after half a year, they couldn't solve it, had to switch to the USB port...

When you're talking about power around the 16:00 mark, there's some misinformation here. Yes USB is 5V but volts is not power. Power (Watts) is Volts * Amps. 5V at the current that USB can provide is plenty to drive a few line-level channels. I am an electronics engineer, and a SW engineer that worked on USB devices. If you want any clarification or further explanation, just ask. Edit: I apologise, I think the word 'misinformation' is too strong, replace with 'inaccuracy' or 'misunderstanding' maybe.
