I’ve been using Reaper for 12 years, and it’s been great seeing how it’s been getting more and more love. I only use it to record MIDI, almost exclusively. Works great! I love their business model. No need to pirate their software.

[@WodzuBeats]

Exactly. Reaper is just different and the enviroment around it too!

[@soundamm]

I also use Reaper for everything. I started using it mostly for metal and rock because it was pretty easy to record my guitars and that stuff. Now I use it to make all my music, even lofi beats so for me it's my go-to DAW, it's incredibly flexible

[@WodzuBeats]

Same story here! I was migrating from Cubase because I didn't want to pay for every new release and I saw Reaper as a cheaper alternative which turned out to be much more powerful tool than I expected. The thing with reaper tho is that people usually get scared by the default GUI and huge menus with all these options.

I tried and seen many different themes for Reaper, but I've always stuck to the default one in the end. I've always found it to be the most clean of them all.

[@WodzuBeats]

It's not that bad afterall 😅

[@FilipPandrc]

I use a free plugin called Shortcircuit as my main sampler in Reaper (mostly for drums, but also for other things). It made my workflow faster. You can even drag and drop samples from Reaper timeline (hold CTRL + ALT and drag). It has many effects and modulation/routing capabilities, but those are optional. You can just load the samples and start making beats.

[@WodzuBeats]

Hey man! Thanks for the comment 🌊 I've been using shortcircuit for years, but ReaSamplomatic is much more transparent and has faster workflow in terms of 808 samples. Shortcircuit is a great way to go tho, I've learnt about the plugin from DJ Pain One.

So glad I found this channel! Been using Reaper to make beats for a year now, and I love it, but it's been a long learning process because I couldn't find tutorials like this one (I would have to watch FL or Ableton tutorials and think, 'how would reaper do this?'). I'm going to binge watch all your videos now hahaha. If you see this Wodzu, I really need a quick way to do full track outs for my beats? I cant work it out myself, other than individually rendering each track to a stem and into a folder one by one...

[@WodzuBeats]

Make sure you've checked out the ultimate guide, I've summed up all the basics in one video 😉 To make trackouts just simply go to Render window, select "selected tracks via master" in the first list, select the tracks you want to render out while holding ctrl, type "$track" as the filename (files will be named same as your tracks) and then "Render X files" at the bottom of the window

[@kudziisuuASMR]

I've been trying out other DAW's cause I feel like its time to move on from Fl-Studio, I've been using FL for a while but there are some issues that make it really annoying to record with MIDI and live audio via microphone or external audio sources like hardware synths, not to mention how much clutter is involved in Fl-Studio, I feel like so far, at least for chopping samples Reaper is pretty good in that drag and drop, chop and screwed style really easy. The only thing I don't like about Reaper is I feel like the stock effects and VST's are just well, very plain and minimalistic (in looks) for some people that might be prefect but for me I like all the eye candy, I know that might be very petty and stupid but that honestly just me FL-Studio has some of the most good looking effects ever I've never felt the need to replace any of them.

[@WodzuBeats]

Yeah, they look as they look, but trust me, they're powerful and pretty advanced. There are some plugins in the arsenal that you won't find in FL. They just look "default". If you ever have any questions just hit me up on Instagram or Facebook 😉

[@matiasgoinheix366]

Can you map a different pad for each Reasampleomatic5000 instance and record a full beat all at once?

[@WodzuBeats]

Yeah, you can, but it's not the most intuitive way. Just set up different tracks with separate instances and type in the correct "note start" and "note end" values for your pads. The inconvenience of this solution is that every tracks has the same MIDI item with all the parts of the drumkit. A much better solution is to load a different sampler with multiple outputs. Poise is one of them and it's totally free now. I haven't tested it out yet so I don't know if you actually can make separate outs, but I'm planning to make a vid about it asap

As the evaluation reminder as you open Reaper tells you - it's not free and obtaining a license is obligatory, but Cockos (guys that made Reaper) don't want to take all the functionalities from you after the trial period.

@@queesborgparty6662 on the contrary, Reaper is excellent for this. Record your loop and place it on a track. Grab the right end of the loop while pressing Option (sorry don’t know the Windows version) and drag to the length you want the loop to be. Then use Envelope editing of the track to change the pitches of your loops. This is all described in great detail in the Kenny Gioia videos from the Reaper website. Similar loop tuning and manipulation used to take me soooooo long in Cubase.

"It's used for recording vocals, guitars but not really for actual music" lol the irony

[@WodzuBeats]

Not irony, just a mental shortcut I'd say 😁 I realize how it sounds like, it didn't caught my attention while editing - just put "actual beats" instead of "actual music" and everything should be clear 😀

Thanks! More Reaper videos already out on the channel 😎

[@marlonbarnes3668]

This is a bold start to the video saying instruments and vocals aren't actual music.

[@WodzuBeats]

I've made a big mind shortcut there, I was about to say "actual beats". I'm not a native English speaker and sometimes I find that kind of things as I edit my videos. I'm still learning though and I've started "thinking in English" more when I'm recording. I hope that explains everything 😉

Fajnie się zabrałeś, ale dla laików potrzeba więcej komentarzy typu " tworzę nową ścieżkę klikając dwa razy na tą szarą przestrzeń, a jak kliknę prawym to mam kilka opcji - w tym tworzenie wielu ścieżek za jednym razem itd." mówisz co robisz, ale często pomijasz jak i po co. Tak poza tym dobra inicjatywa!

Lost me like 20 seconds into the menus. I have no packs or VSTs, no MIDI controller, I can't seem to drag the track sideways to be a sub-track like you did, the theme alone is showing a lot more buttons than I can see on my theme and I don't know where to find anything. Does everything need to be a waveform sample before you can use it in a piano roll? Cos thats what it seems like from the video, its not just straight up piano roll midi like in other DAWs. I haven't been confused by another program of any type anywhere near this much. There should honestly be interactive tutorials that highlight features within the actual program because of how incredibly complex it is, I understand the customization dynamic but you can't sell linux to everyone, and the inbuilt amp/cab simulators sound like complete crap, I use my amp that has an optional DI-connection (thank god) to get tones as plugging in through my 2i2 and trying to use virtual gear is mindnumbingly tedious, as for good tones you have to buy expensive neural packs and know how to import everything, which also depends on the DAW you use, again, there is fuck-all information out there. It seems anyone who does "informative" videos spends 20 minutes talking about stuff we wont even look at until we have at least a whole year's experience in recording, we have to sift out the basics from the flood of irrelevant information for people just starting out.

[@WodzuBeats]

Please go to an updated, step by step tutorial called "the ultimate guide to Reaper beat making" if you find something hard 😉 This video isn't even a tutorial - just an introduction to the series I've got on my channel.
