[@greccoox]

Bro come back to KZbin, the beginners need you. You are one of the best in the world

[@LetsTalkAboutReaper]

That bounce on the dynamic eq nodes is mesmerizing

[@Reapertips]

agreeee 🥹

[@RoPanuganti]

Amazing selection of plugins, and their UI are so nice! I'll be trying the Lexicon freebie first for sure

[@KadeHove]

I used to watch your video game covers years ago, always thought your video and audio production was insane. Glad to see you're still active on youtube

[@Reapertips]

Awwwww it's rare I get recognized for that nowadays, thank you so muuuuch!! 💙

[@cmstrike]

I think this is the best video on the Tukan plug-ins that I've seen. Awesome work, and a really cool song as usual!

[@Reapertips]

woaa thats amazing! thank you so so much! 💪 - have an amazing day!

[@StarvingGOGO00]

Super cool stuff, you're becoming my favorite reaper channel. Keep up the good work :3

[@Reapertips]

omgg - so so motivating to hear! thank you a lot!

[@BJ-fj6jw]

Your calming and even voice gives me confidence learning home studio recording. I'm glad I purchased Reaper as my DAW. THANK YOU!

[@TommyMarcinek]

Alejandro, one of the best videos ever!!! You have a great way of showing the important things while holding a person's interest in the content. I love the way you go back and forth with the before/after examples, while keeping them very short. Other videos just play too long of an example and I can easily get fatigued by that. Kudos! Great video producer!!! Plus, your genuineness and kind heart come through. You are now my favorite Reaper tutorial go-to source!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@henrik640]

DUDE. Finally got around to going through my 'watch later' Playlist and found this gem. Thank you for sharing these, love your channel.

[@Reapertips]

Omg hahaha amazing!! Happy to hear Henrik!!

[@casualbedrecordings]

just came across your channel recnetly - and i love it. switched 2 years ago to eaper after almost 20 years of n-track studio, and i am still learning every day more about repaer. keep on the good work man!

[@Reapertips]

Thank you soo muchh. that's amazing! - hope your new reaper journey has been nice :) and yea I still learn many things every day too!

[@casualbedrecordings]

@@Reapertips yeah man, working with reaper was a blast right away and still is

[@LetsTalkAboutReaper]

Wait, I'm not the only person who used n-track studio?!

[@casualbedrecordings]

@@LetsTalkAboutReaper nope😅ive used it since version 2.0 up to 9

[@mikephillips4095]

Yes, please make a part 2. BTW, the Shimmer effect is UNREAL!!

[@honzakalnik]

Alejandro your channel is really good! Starting to dive deeper into Reaper thanks to you. Maybe one thing that I think could help others as well. When you are showing before/after examples, try not to talk between them. This makes for much easier recognition. With delay and reverb here it's easy but in your other videos when you were doing some slight compression or eq it's not so hearable right away and this would help a lot. What I would do is something like: "I'll now switch between the effect on and off and you'll see the indicator on the screen (text, label, red LED on the effect itself,...)". This also makes it great if you want to really check if you hear what the effect is doing by just closing your eyes and really listening only. At least that's how I do it with other videos as well. If you hear someone saying "on/off" or see it on the screen your mind immediately tells you there's something different. But when you have your eyes closed it's way harder to distinguish between the changes, especially if they are subtle. Those are my 2 cents but make no mistake your channel rocks! Keep the videos coming 🙂

[@ranajoyshil]

Tukan plugins are such an amazing addition to Reaper's stock plugins, all of that is possible because of JSFX. You should do videos on other JSFX plugins in the future as well, such as all the Saike Plugins.

[@karlboman]

Amazing sounding plugins! I've basically just installed the pack and fiddled a bit with two or three of them, but maaan those reverbs are GOOD. Re: flangers - yep, they are a bugger. I've found that subtlety is vital: low depth, slow speed, keep the mix low.

[@AledesChica]

Los plugins de Tukan en general están muy bien, con eso puedes hacer todo, he comparado algunos con uad, y otros, y claro suenan diferente pero pero tranquilamente resuelven, incluso con un carácter diferente no diría que suena uno mejor que el otro, no, puedes usar el que quieras y podrías lograr resultados igualmente buenos. Gracias!

[@dikidsaputra2536]

COOOL I love it, this is now my one to go after Kenny, thank you so much!!!

[@RedsBusker]

Cooooool as usual! :D Can You please make a video on how to separate midi drums tracks? Could be dope because I really don't know how to do that in reaper, even for a better mix of the drums themselves

[@ReaperRealmYT]

Tukan plugins are one of my favorite JS plugins. Thanks for covering them.

[@Reapertips]

Happy you enjoyed!

[@FlipHybrid]

Amazing job covering these plugins! Can I suggest you try to not stop de audio when A/B comparing? It's easier to hear the difference without any interuption/change :)

[@acebone2]

yeah - great vid, and agree on the A/B request

[@darkflamesquirrel]

you had me at free dynamic EQ. what a treasure trove!!

[@mchammer655]

Thank you for this resource!!

[@HerrPapa]

How can it be, that I never got this channel recommended by YT? Subbed!

[@gock0w976]

Hey Alejandro - I found your 'programming drums in reaper' vid yesterday, and it has made making music in reaper fun again, so a huge thankyou! Good luck with the channel, this is top quality content.

[@DannyLyriCa]

hey, thanks for all your work. recently I've been diving into the jsfx plugins via reapack and oh my goodness! i even learned about adding the embedded UI on tracks.. that is awesome! just one thing though, how do i make my plugins appear like how you have them on the track at 4:30? i used to use protools some time ago and i miss that option, is more accessible IMO.

[@kelvinfunkner]

wow! I'm a new reaper user and didn't know these existed! Such a fun and informative video...I love your excitement.

[@marrowsband]

Is having the top of your plugins black a Mac night mode thing? Or an option inside reaper preferences?

[@Reapertips]

Yes! It's Mac dark mode, you enable this in Preferences > General> Advanced UI settings. I believe on windows the process is different, you can Google it ~

[@ИльяКустинский-ч2к]

thanks for all!! your last part is very cool!!!

[@artemi-music]

Thanks for showing these plugins, gonna check them out 👍

[@genuinefreewilly5706]

Havent tried the EQ as you demonstrated it. Love the Lexicon 2, its modelled as well as all the other offerings. The tape delay is one of my favorites, it behaves like a tape delay for better or worse. I am scratching my head with the delay machine, placing my taps, again pretty accurate, and easier than Reapers stock delay.

[@katyb3869]

Freak'n fanTASTIC! Love this video!

[@Reapertips]

Soooo happy to hear! Thank you thank you :3

[@RyanLafford]

Black light modulation part was so sick, it's amazing that these are all JS!

[@Reapertips]

thank you so muuuch Ryan!

[@andythedrummer9642]

Hugely useful stuff! Also love that you're using the free SSD5, I've been using it for most of my covers and originals and it's good to see how others utilize it!

[@ShootieSchool]

Gonna recommend the Green Dynamic for those that can't afford Fabfilter. Nice work.

[@stulora3172]

You can hear a flanger effect on several Hendrix tunes. Also the Red Hot Chili Peppers have used it on drums and guitar. The drum break before the instrumental part in Dani California comes to mind

[@ИльяБойко-е9э]

Damn! I love your videos! Make them more often!

[@Reapertips]

Thank you for the motivation, I needed it 🙏

[@macofish1]

I got into his stuff just for Guitar Station 2...I needed this!

[@xsantijx]

Hey Alejandro!!! So glad I've found this channel! Thanks for everything! I have a question, that might not be related to this video, but, how can I turn the interface from white to black? all my windows are white rn and I can't find a way to change it

[@royalinvasionproductionstv6370]

Great Vid!! Does Tukan have a mid/side eq? Cant find any info on this

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

There's also a great Guitar amp simulation called "Guitar Station 2" or something like that. Very quick and easy to get super guitar tones - imagine a lighter version of Amplitube as a JS Plugin.

[@TheMartirania]

Gracias Ale y Tukan Studios!!!!

[@nickskywalker2568]

Ah finally I get to understand how delay 2 works! Awesome plugins by Tukan. Thank you for your videos, I really enjoy them and would like a part 2 :D

[@Reapertips]

[@ToniHennig]

Love your channel, please make part 2 .^^

[@musicmaestrodj]

Your mixes sound great so I was wondering what monitors you are using for mixing? Thanks!

[@Reapertips]

Hello! Ive been using the bx5 m-audio monitors since I was 14 (for over 14 years!). I should really replace them soon but nothing beats really knowing your system. The monitor itself doesn't matter that much, what matters most is knowing how things are supposed to sound in the environment you are in and properly treating it if possible. Once you listen to a lot of music with your monitors, you kinda calibrate your brain with how things are supposed to sound.

[@musicmaestrodj]

@@Reapertips I hear you on that! I use Alesis M1Active 520 monitors and love them! I tried to "upgrade" to a pair of Kali LP6V2 due to the hype but they sounded terrible in comparison to so I returned them.

[@saroroot7535]

Thank you for sharing the info. Love this.

[@NLNPNL]

Nice video -- you got a subscriber out of it! I learned about Sphinx. I get it -- no nose. The 'range' control on the dynamic EQ actually sets the maximum gain reduction -- not the amount, per se. The 'sensitivity' acts like a ratio.

[@hernanbass5894]

New suscriber here, love the content. Tukan plugins are great!!

[@Reapertips]

Agree ❤️❤️❤️

[@Djay_B]

Cool stuff! Out of curiosity tho, are you planning to stay somewhat active on your AHMusic channel (if that is in fact your other channel) or are you abandoning covers entirely?

[@Reapertips]

Hello!! thank you a lot! I don't really plan on uploading more content there~ really enjoyed my time tho and grew so much from that skillset-wise.

[@daspedal]

your videos are really great 👍

[@olymoon2008]

Thank you for this video. Yes I would like a part two please.

[@kojoefante]

All these plugins are free on reaper ?

[@Reapertips]

Yea!

[@IsmaelAngelus]

Man! This is awesome!

[@andrew_kay]

I love your snare sound here on SSD5. Is it possible for you to share your eq and plugins settings as you did with kick drum or make a quick video on that?

[@Reapertips]

@@andrew_kay yes! I can make a video about that. BTW those are the same drums I used in the songwriting template I got on my page if you want to get hands on the session 👍

[@andrew_kay]

@@Reapertips Oh, thanks for quick answer. I'll definitely check that. Not that my purpose of this comment was advertising or anything - but literally few hours ago I released a song using SSD5 as well (The Wall on my channel, if you care to check that) - and I was comparing the snares :)

[@emilly.aguirre]

Try a flanger in the overheads, it sounds so psychodelic, in quiet and slow parts it can provide a cool movement and a trip sensation

[@Reapertips]

oww I gotta try this out! thank youuu

[@jasonwright4144]

Hey man if you wouldn't mind, I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to automate a plugin in reaper. I've figured out how to do volume, pan, and gain automation, but even after watching Kenny Goia's tutorials, I'm still drawing a blank on how to automate a plugin like you did with blacklight modulation. I've got a vocal part that I want an effect on at just one little part. I could just make a new track, but I'd like to make as few tracks as possible. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks 🙂

[@braunhausmedia]

Since you have a really good design sense, I would really love if you helped Tukan out with the graphic design of these plugins. As it stands, they look like something created in 1998.

[@MoreMeRecording]

Thanks! and I'll have to revisit Tukan..Great stuff and I used his LA2 and Neve ch a lot.

[@Reapertips]

Yesss - I gotta try the neve ch!

Need a the whole song with that black light part.

[@uncleted3961]

Alejandro, how did you get specific delay times like 375 and 562 m/sec? The plugin only allows me to go 300, 350, 400 etc.

[@DasLachsige]

holy shiiiiit that transition in the video killed me xDDDDDD

[@dirkmertens6926]

Hi Alejandro, when I add these plugins, my sound gets really distorted. When playing guitar and only using the Lexikan 2 reverb, the sound is really harsh. I play guitar>Fuid Audio SRI-2 interface>reaper on (old) laptop>beyerdynamic headphones. The downloading and using of reaper and plugins is realy fast, so I assume my laptop isn't too old (Intel core i5 / 8RAM / 64x bit). Clean without plugins, the soundd is perfect. Anyone that can help me? Thx, for all the good work, greetz from Belgium

[@starkovskypro]

why don't I have some plugins? violet envelope shaper and tape series 2 are not available to me for some reason

[@SergioHRossi]

Hi man, see if you can help, please, I have a notebook with a low screen resolution, 1366/768, do you know if there is a way to increase the resolution of the reaper... or how to make the tracks smaller on the mixer panel, because with the low resolution they are gigantic on the screen... thank you in advance.

[@saddestchord7622]

Hello. Forgive me if I sound stupid but what genre of music is this?

[@Hocus_Tokus]

Tukan plugins are really awesome ! I kinda prefer Modulation 2 to Black light modulation.

[@Reapertips]

Ow you are right!! - that interface is way nicer!

[@HASHIRA6505]

HI , i have the tukan pack and noticed your interfaces are darker , did you change the UI color somehow or update the themes?

[@Reapertips]

Hello! I did adjust using the theme adjuster for a little more contrast. Not sure if that affects plugins tho!

[@LaluDamar8783]

Where’s the link download ?,i’m confused 😩😩

[@Reapertips]

Hello! I put a video tutorial by Tukan on how to install his plugins. It's the first link in the description. In short, you need to install a REAPER extension called ReaPack, then import his repository. It's easy and takes 5-10 minutes. I'll be here if you have any questions about the process tho :D

[@stereotyp87]

What is the name of that theme?

[@Jimi-bx3xf]

Hello Alejandro do you have a tutorial about rewire with Reaper ? I'm trying to rewire Fl studio to get some vst ...

[@roscius6204]

Why do these 'free' plugins require the installation of an installer and are they only for Reaper?

[@Reapertips]

hi! I put "REAPER" in the title and thumbnail, not sure why you are surprised it's for reaper? 😅

[@roscius6204]

​@@Reapertips Just asking, all my other plugins work in Reaper and Ableton. What part of the words 'best' and 'for' imply only??? Best car for holiday ... can't drive it to work?😯

[@Reapertips]

@@roscius6204 not sure how to say that in the title. Can you help me out?

[@roscius6204]

Can't see a problem with the title, apart from you thinking it means something that it doesn't say. A polite answer might have been. Yes they are for Reaper only... You didn't answer why an installer is required..... so is it just data collection? most You Tubers are looking for traffic... Sorry to bother your algorithm 🤔 won't happen again.

[@Reapertips]

@@roscius6204 Happy to elaborate on the installer thing! Installer is just convenience. Keeps the plugins up to date. The installer not only lets you install plugins from Tukan. It lets you install many things that the REAPER community has made, such as scripts, effects, themes, etc. The installer was made by the community. It's open source and supported by the community. The installer is not tracking your data.
