Drum Sample Replacement with REAPER plugins

[@prosaxtips5007]

Nice. I use the Dynamic Split and Media Explorer to replace and this is another great way of doing replacement

[@Charlie_Echo]

Just saw you using Slate's Trigger in your Mixing In Reaper course, but can't justify buying it right now - so I Googled "drum replacement Reaper" for other options and guess whose videos were the first two hits XD

[@MusicByIanLtd]

Thanks Jon - giving away your secrets for the mix contest ;)

[@AvatarofHate]

Hi, when I use js triger, how can I open transient settings so I can visually move the thresholds on the track? I can t seem to remember how it is done. It was extremley helpful to see this visually instead of adjusting the thresholds with sliders with trial and error. Thanks!

[@TheREAPERBlog]

action list - "Transient detection sensitivity/threshold: Adjust..."

[@lcsproductions3736]

Thanks for the Great Video I can't figure out how to print MIDI or Render/Freeze the track into a MIDI track I'd like to be able to adjust some of the notes

[@TheREAPERBlog]

Right-click the track record arm button, set to record mode: Output MIDI

[@lcsproductions3736]

Thanks @@TheREAPERBlog Any way to render the track with the "Audio to MIDI" Plug-In to a MIDI File?

[@eranddroory9987]

Great vid. Don't have Slate trigger. Thanks man!!

[@MagnoLudovicusSunCitySound]

A great way of editing toms is by cutting the end of the hit where are the cymbals and put a low pass, this way you prevent that cymbal spill.

[@TheREAPERBlog]

did you learn that one from me? :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHPeYd9pc2HitE

[@TazzSmk]

Glen Flicker disapproves lmao xD seriously though, great tutorial again, good to know Reaper can do this kind of thing without 3rd party plugins, thx for the vid Jon! :)

[@djabthrash]

Glenn gates drums like crazy, making them sound more unnatural and worse than drums blended or replaced with samples.

[@The_Absurdistt]

Glenn is an interesting character... When he's not as knowledgable as he likes to believe, or thinks someone is wrong he will sometimes lash out at them. Then when he finds out he's wrong he will often ignore the conversation all together.

[@djabthrash]

01:08 the replaced version sounds very fake though, like a series of one shots... In this case, i think multiband gating might have taken care of most of the cymbal bleed in the tom tracks.

[@TheREAPERBlog]

If I had the unedited drums I'd probably approach it differently.

[@djabthrash]

​@@TheREAPERBlog Alright.

[@MasQueVencedorEnCristo]

I’ve been using that JS folder as impatiently wait for my MIDI cable for the era trigger module..

[@boijst2670]

Hi mate! What theme are you using?

[@TheREAPERBlog]

this is my own modification of default 6.

[@bluesky2145]

Thanks for the great videos. Can you please do one on Area Selection even though it's not totally baked yet. Also what is your handle in the Reaper forum ? Super job !

[@TheREAPERBlog]

I'll definitely be covering that in 6.15 or whenever it's ready. I've seen that its changing a lot in the per-releases so I haven't touched it yet. Seems really awesome though I'm EpicSounds on the forum

[@bluesky2145]

@@TheREAPERBlog Thanks. Seeing 6.13 dev 0808 add area selection to left drag of media items and empty space it's really needed to get some clarity on usable workflows. Right now I use media item bottom to marquee select and media item top (media item) to move. I'm not sure what area selection buys me and how best to include it. I'd be happy to see a pre video and another one once it matures. You have a great way of getting to the meat of things. Thanks.....coachz

[@JPMarques]

Thanks for sharing such great content!

[@dannyday125]

Did you set Reaper to default to this color for all the tracks? And if so, how? Is it something that needs thr SWS extensions?

[@TheREAPERBlog]

SWS Autocolor. I have rules set to color tracks by name, and child tracks to use parent colors.

[@santinhoww]

I usually go to adding samples instead of replacing, and when I use this method, I always get inconsistency in timing, sometimes the sample will be ahead or behind the original sound, creating some weird artifacts..

[@WDeeGee1]

Thanks!

[@Bicyclekelly]

I’m new to using Reaper. Can I add my drum tracks using only Reaper? I do not own drums or a keyboard.

[@TheREAPERBlog]

You could program them in MIDI with a mouse. You just need something for the sounds.

[@Bicyclekelly]

Ahh ok mouse got ya. When you say something for the sound, you mean like speakers?

[@TheREAPERBlog]

i mean a sampler with drum sounds

[@Bicyclekelly]

Oh ok, so I have to own something for producing the sound. I see. Thank you.

[@Juanferminsoria]

Someone has an idea how to do this, it happened to me that once I succeeded, and I saw in a video, for example to make a copy of the track of a kick that sounds bad, and in the other replace it with the ReaSamOmatic5000, but the question is that he managed to make the blows dynamic as is the original. I forgot how to do it and I can't find the video I saw that time that explained it: c

[@ifaber68]

Very nice tutorial, thanks :-D

[@nicolasocampo7215]

Hi Jon! I highly recommend you use this script to replace drums, in my opinion is one of the best things in Reaper! forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=179310

[@acidsoukous4256]

This script is fantastic ! 😳😳

[@Weston_Guidero]

What you doin on windows now Jon...? Come over to the bright side ;) haha
