Comping Double & Triple Vocals in REAPER 7

[@CarlWolf69]

Wow Kenny, I didn't think you could sing like that! Amazing!

[@barankaypakoglu7643]

That action to delete the chosen comp areas are mind blowing really! God bless Reaper!

[@REAPERMania]

Agreed

[@LetsTalkAboutReaper]

@@REAPERManiaagreed as well, that action is one i did not know about. As if they haven't already seen your videos, i had to share and recommend this one on the Discord server!

[@AustrianEdith]

Reaper is amazing, but... More amazing is this wonderful man: Kenny Gioia. What are we without HIM!? 👍👍👍👍👍

[@allangrant7553]

He is definitely simply amazing - love this guy !!!!

[@AustrianEdith]

@@allangrant7553My HERO..!

[@AJoylessEon]

Reaper is amazing.. has everthing for everyone. The gift that keeps on giving.

[@RLamarDuffy]

One line & I want to hear more from this singer. Who is she?

[@FixingGuitars]

The band is "Houses on the Hill"

[@babyblue4824]

Truly a ground breaking idea Kenny

[@greacen]

Another great demo Kenny- I've learned more about reaper through your videos than any other place. I'm ready for a smooth vocal tracking and mixing session.

[@msuscorpio]

I was struggling to understand why I would use Lanes and Comping vs the way Ive always done it with takes and splitting. This makes sense though. A lot cleaner and mistake proof.

[@ConwayBob]

Another great tutorial. Thank you, Kenny!

[@kayahanli]

Great improvement! Comping was the only remaining issue in Repaer for me compared to some other daws where it was easy with lanes and now call was heard and its fixed. Praise Reaper, watch Kenny and let the world be the world...

[@DimitriFantini]

really nice tips! Gotta get into the new take lanes feature asap

[@jeetray11]

Just learnt such an incredible feature. This will be so much useful for my vocal takes.

[@ulfsvensson9710]

Exellent! So easy to get a nice effect!

[@southsideronnie]

Awesome, thank you Kenny!

[@judeontheinternet]

awesome! thank you for the teachings

[@LenartMlinar]

Could you do a similar video with drums? How does the workflow look like with an instrument with multiple mics. Thanks!

[@REAPERMania]

It's coming. Thanks.

[@LetsTalkAboutReaper]

At the risk.of being "that guy," I did a live stream this week and did some comping with drums tracked to fixed item lanes. Feel free to locate it on my channel. That said, I am curious to see Kenny's approach, as we tend to sometimes do things differently and I may discover some workflow enhancements to add to the arsenal

[@LenartMlinar]

@@LetsTalkAboutReaper Watched both the video "Tracking Multimic Instruments" and the livestream Myk! Great job man! Also looking forward to see Kenny's approach. I learn from both of you a ton! Thanks!

[@urasam2]

This is forking genius - fantastic!

[@TokkanFX]

Great video as usual Kenny. I am wondering if rather than the delete action if it could do the same but mute them and darken them in case you need to go back and change a section? This would require each section to have it own mute which could be an icon on each section. Just a thought.

[@NormDave]

Kenny, this is incredible. I am new to DAW's and am a vocalist wanting to experiment with my voice, etc. Someone suggested getting Cubase, Ableton, or Logic - but you videos on Reaper are amazing and so straight forward. I would appreciate your professional views on the other DAW's I mentioned, if that is possible? Thanks in advance NormDave

[@timperry2375]

This is genius. Thanks for the tutorial

[@quaz3294]

Fire video! This took forever with takes. Lanes def makes this easier! Could thes be automated thru actions? Another i guess relatable question...Is there an action to trigger lanes in a loop... almost like clips?

[@thePunkRockMix]

YEAH - Thats so great :) thank you so much!

[@deanc2000]

After comping, do you tune the main vocal as well as the double and triple? That's so much work.

[@reemooz]

Дядька, ты куда разогнался?! Скоро мы будем только твои уроки смотреть и некогда будет работать в Рипере.

[@WBCStudio.]

Reaper ROCKS! Can I use the same technic for instruments as well?

[@mOoFiShs]

Awesomeness

[@fettccni]

I just updated to REAPER 7.02 and I'm not seeing the action for "Track lanes: Delete source media within comp areas and re-comp". Not quite sure why :(

[@francoisbenest2756]

Same thing here. The only action I find looking a bit the same is "Track lanes: Delete comp areas (including source media) and re-comp for track under mouse". But I need it to apply on the selected track, not on the track under mouse.

[@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP]

it must have been added in the pre-release build v7.03rc1 and Kenny has jumped the gun

[@REAPERMania]

@@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP Yeah. I thought it would be released before the video dropped. But it's coming. You can use the other one that requires the mouse being over the lane. It works the same.

[@francoisbenest2756]

@@REAPERMania Well, I wanted to add those actions to my workflow which is centered on a touchscreen. The mouse action is not compatible with it. I'll wait until 7.03 is released. Thanks for all.

[@pedromendes3277]

hi, love your videos man!!! you are probably the most knowledgeable person that i know of , in reaper stuff. if you have the time could you possibly try to solve one small problem i have that is making me crazy. Is there any way to hide or auto-hide the menu bar in reaper? if not is it possible at least change the color to a "dark mode"... that white bar is killing me. Thanks

[@alextotheroh8071]

Great video, thank you!!

[@johnborger]

Mine are called "Fixed Lanes" (Windows machine). I assume that is the same? (Sorry, this is my FIRST WEEK with Reaper) I also don't have "Track Lanes: Delete Source Media within comp areas and re-comp". I'm missing an add-on? Thanks! (I'm using Reaper v7.02)

[@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP]

likely in the pre-release build v7.03rc1

[@REAPERMania]

This action is from the pre-release which should be out in a few days. Sorry.

[@johnborger]

@@REAPERMania sounds good. Thank you.

[@johnborger]

@@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP Thank you

[@johnborger]

Now have it. 7.03 updated. :)

[@eliobascetta7841]

Hi Kenny, I wanted to ask you, but is there in the JSFX supplied with Reaper that simulates the Pultec EQ?..I can't find it! Thanks again for your videos.

[@MrRac2010]

Bravo! 👏👌

[@그래그래의음악이야기]

When will you come back, Kenny?

[@sangmoklee]

I found your videos very informative. I teach audio classes in Korea. Can I overdub your intro to REAPER videos in Korean and share in my class? I hope you don't mind.

[@brightfiresmusic]

Is there a way to move takes into their own lane if they were recorded without the “fixed item lanes” track selection? It puts all of the takes into a single lane when it’s selected after recording…

[@brightfiresmusic]

I figured it out if anyone had the same question. After you select “fixed item lanes” on the track right click on the takes and go to take>explode all takes (in place) and it will create a lane with each take. Then you can select the comping action.

[@conrow1157]

What if I want to record on the same already comped track in a later section of the song. 2nd verse for example? I get würd results sometimes, that the new recorded parts are not separated to lanes anymore cause the lanes are reserved for the 1st verse. Any tips?

[@mauriziocic]

Hi Kenny. I noticed that when tracks are grouped it's impossible to zoom vertically all tracks. When you zoom, it will do just for group tracks, and not for single tracks. So how is it possible to zoom vertically all tracks when they are grouped?

[@JohnSmithiuyytw]

Cool!

[@CETTY]

Yoo i got an idea. How about 3 vocal mixing tutorial?

[@erichulander3264]

Usually when I'm constructing my first comp I identify some mistakes that I definitely do not want to use for my double or triple. Is there any way to delete or grey out or otherwise prevent a comp area on a specific single lane from being used?

[@bryantroman6672]

When I want to over dub something specifically I just split that region and then use an action to change the selected take color so you can see the discoloration on the takes. I think I answered this effectively!

[@ryanboyce3365]

What is the name of this song? I want to hear the whole thing!

[@Eli-Osadon]

please!!! Chords channel!

[@cantareliberamentesingfreely]

🎶🪘 Hi, can anyone help me? How do I know the duration of the note that I have to set when I go to create the percussion track for a piece of music with "Sitala ", exactly when I have to set the settings for the quantization of the notes? Ex: 1/8, 1/16, etc... Thank you very much!

[@KMJoshiMusic]

Those numbers are dividing the your tempo's measures. 1 measure/bar = 4 beats. 1/8 = 2 notes per beat or 8 notes per measure. Look into "rhythm musing theory" for more information. For drums, it depends on what kind of drum track you're writing. Generally, you should be fine with 1/8 for simple rhythm (like a house beat in EDM) but I often find myself using 1/16 for somewhat more complex pieces.
