As someone noted, this is not what playlists refer to in Pro Tools. This is more akin to what the Arranger Track does in Cubase or maybe a little similar to what the memory locations can do in Pro Tools. Not that what you are showing isn’t useful, but you might consider changing the intro, as you will likely get some frustrated viewers who had hoped to find out how to make the take system in Reaper behave a bit more like playlists and instead sat through a completely unrelated video.

Right Click SWS Playlist > Edit Project > Crop Project to Playlist (New Project tab ) - IT WORKS!!!!!!!!! You are Amazing!!! Thank you!!!

[@BrewerShettles]

Rearranged digitally sections - inc audio wav drums - Psychedelic Rabbits - More then Love - Trks: 3 - 5 - 6 - so much better!!!! Thanks Adam!!!

[@marianlech3378]

I still don't get how this does what protools does. Still cant duplicate drum or vocal layers for editing and keep the unedited versions underneath, for reference. Any ideas? Greetings.

[@TadDoylemusic]

This isn’t playlists from Protools. I had hoped you were talking about take playlists. Still, the takes workflow in reaper is horrendous.if you have any pull with the Devs, please mention this. Thanks!

[@prathameshs.n1213]

There are quite a few scripts to make takes after recording, work nicely.. Birdbird's razor utility is really nice... Comp to target track, and things like that.. Sorta like swipe coming.. Check those out.. and maybe you could assign a custom action to explode takes and then put those tracks into a folder making the folder the target track... Also i think someone did make another script for protools style playlists.. Haven't tried it though, Perhaps look these up on the forum?

[@TadDoylemusic]

@@prathameshs.n1213 thanks for all of the suggestions. 😃

Is there a playlist for songs in Reaper. I use backing tracks and want to go from song to song. I don't care to have play list for playing sections, just to go from song to song with the song stopping at the end. Then use spacebar on laptop to start the next song.

[@farrell72563]

I recently switched my Daw of choice to Reaper, and your videos very helpful. Used Pro Tools many years ago but refuse to be forced into their subscription model. The regions playlist seems very similar to Cakewalk's arranger track. Although the learning curve is a little steep for me, I'm discovering new features everyday, and have found the Reaper community to be so very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@3d-marabu]

I think it's great that the playlist tool can also generate a ready-made render project and isn't just a pure player.

[@thmp3r]

You need to understand playlists in ProTools before you compare - there is nothing whatsoever anywhere close to ProTools playlists anywhere in this video. Your info would apply if different names/terminology was used in reference to something not-playlists but - Playlists in Pro Tools is not this - at all.

[@MattWooten]

Loving Reaper but after using Pro Tools for a decade this is true. Totally different

[@limbophonic1]

Thanks for showing this feature Adam, i have been using Regions for a while when working on my songs to move/ copy/ delete section but wasn't aware of the playlist, i will try this, Question: can this feature extend a song, e.g. maybe the chorus is too short, can it play the chorus twice?

[@ktmmusiclab]

Yes, just add the chorus region two times consecutively in your region playlist.

[@jamesontree]

Is there anyway to see your total set time per playlist? If I have 7 songs that = 50 mins And I delete 3 at random. Will it then show you the length of that playlist now?

[@DimeDCSGO]

This has nothing to do with playlists in pro tools???
