Free Script for Reaper- Align Takes

[@michaelpilyavskiy]

Thanks for review. About glitch: you can try to increase a bit strech marker fade size (up to 10ms for example), that makes stretching smoother in some cases. Also you can tweak some settings (I`ll probably recode GUI to make controls more easy to understand). There are some improvements for main matching algorithm, but it still in alpha testing, hopefully someday I`ll release it.

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

Thank you my friend for all your hard work. When I did the video I had only just started using the script. I have got into it a whole lot more and love it. I use it all the time, thank you so much.

[@loveit8602]

Thank you so much for all your hard work on this. It's an amazing tool.

[@LianExfeind]

Actually regarding glitches it seems to be unnecessary to improve it further if you go to project settings and change "stretch marker mode" to "tonal optimized". This removes the occurence of glitches massively.

HOLY this one is a time saver! Thanks for sharing it

Thank you my friend 😁

[@TangleWireTube]

Yo! This is wildly amazing. Exactly what I was hoping to find.

[@vanhaze2000]

Truly awesome, mpl, just makes fantastic Reaper Scripts. Many thanks for showing this Simon ! 👊🏼

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

Thanks Rob, he sure does and that's why I felt this deserved a shout out. Good to hear from you.

[@haroldpalmer3245]

Good to hear from you Simon.

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

Thanks mate, good to be back. Life just takes over sometimes, good that I am busy though.

[@KevinWayne]

Wow, some great Moozik comes out of your studio~! 👍👍👍

[@RobertGrayMusic]

Damn, I could have done with that script this week - would have saved me many painful hours spent manually aligning takes on a four part a cappella performance...

[@Electricowlworks]

Thanks, Simon. Think I'll give it a try this evening!

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

Electric Owl Works, thanks for watching.

[@SXTransmission]

Impressive work there. Added to my download tomorrow list! Thanks for making this known. 😎😎😎

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

Punk Duck, glad you liked it 😁

[@tozzlin2964]

Unfortunately due to people were too cheap to donate , mpl has no longer available on the developing thread. thx guys !

[@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP]

was the the reason he gave?

[@michaelpilyavskiy]

That seems wrong, I didn`t say I`m no longer support my scripts, but pay less attension. On the other side, starting from may 2021 there is paid part of my repository, including this script. You can use it for free though, but with some limitations.

[@ezekb3]

Nice one! Thanks!

[@evertschut]

That is a fantastic script! Thanks for enlightning us Simon. I can really use it. Do you know if it works as well on multiple vocal parts (I have in the past used up to 12 parts)?

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

Yes it should do, Just make sure the take you want to align to is the uppermost track, select them all and it should work. I've aligned max 8 vocal tracks so far with this script without a problem.

[@michaelpilyavskiy]

​@@SimonLarkin-CSRecording For version 2 it doesnt required reference track to be uppermost, so you can select reference/dubs separately.

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

@@michaelpilyavskiy cool but this is an older video, so I could only go by the info available at the time.

[@videf2007]

Good video. Thanks. Will use it.

Videf2007, thank you

[@carlosramme9455]

Great video ..where can I find it for Mac osx.....the Align scropt

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

same place as for windows. Its a reaper script, doesnt matter what os your using.

[@guitarans]

Hi Simon, great video.. You do not mention how to activete or open the script. Ive downloaded the allign takes script, but cant find it anywhere ? Is it in fx on a track or where can i open it ? Thanks..

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

If youve installed it via the install instructions you should find it in the actions list. Hope that helps

[@guitarans]

Ahhh. I see.. thanks for the reply..

[@zach1113]

Stupid question. Does this work on a Mac? Since the Catalina update I haven't been able to use some extensions in Reaper do to the upgraded security preferences.

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

I don't see why not I work mainly in Windows although I do use a Mac book pro as well but I have not upgraded to Catalina as I have heard there are still a lot of issues. It's a free addition so the best I can advise is to try it and see. Thanks for watching.

[@zach1113]

@@SimonLarkin-CSRecording Gotcha. I must be doing something wrong on my end. I'll watch it again and see what I missed. Thanks for putting this video up!

[@djhansol4224]

I did expect some walkthrough of the different parameters. But appreciate the video anyway. Peace

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

Thank God I lived up to some of your expectations. Appreciatte your comment anyway!!!

[@Az_Eaz]

Would you tune vocals before alignment or after?

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

I would deffinetly tune them first and render that. The reason being, the align plugin stretches and moves the audio around. I would be worried about any glitches due to the time stretching. Vocal tuning, in my view, should always be the first and purest signal to get the best results.

[@grichu]

hey what's the music in your intro? it's HOTTT!!! I'm a dj in montreal, wanna play this one.

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

its just something I put together from sample packs for the intro music. I dont think its even that long. Glad you like it tho

[@grichu]

@@SimonLarkin-CSRecording you really should turn that into a complete song!

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

@@grichu maybe if I can dig it out, i could send you what I got and do a collab??

[@grichu]

@@SimonLarkin-CSRecording to this i would say hell YESSS!!! take your time though, as i'm just getting to grips with Reaper. I was producing in Ableton for three years and a half and i just ditched it 2 weeks ago. Not looking back: I love Reaper!!!! But I still have to learn the bolts and nuts of that new daw. So my answer is YESSS, we can collab for sure! [e-mail]

[@leirumanuel]

How can I download?

[@tecnologicomusicgroup948]

LINK?

[@pascalhaux]

Nice can you share your Template

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

Glad you like it but the file size is way to big for me to start thinking about sharing my config. However the theme is Default Commola 5 and if you check out my video on my toolbars, kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3bCpqmipZqil7M you can make your own toolbars to best suit how you work. Thanks for watching :)

[@grichu]

shazam doesn't pick it up

[@stratoes88]

So this works like the Audio alignment from Cubase 10? Is it comparable to that in terms of quality?

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

I haven't used audio alignment in cubase 10 but I have used the original auto align and this version is just as good if not a little better due to the extra flexibility. It's free, try it!

[@Taffafilms]

i just cant figure out how to install this in reaper from scratch. If anyone out there know how please share! Thank you all bros and sis

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

There should be instructions in the download, then you need to look for it in the action list. I think you also need to install the sws extensions if you haven't already.

[@ulfrohdin]

Thank you for this Simon. Have you tried this out on rythm guitars?

[@SimonLarkin-CSRecording]

To be honest, not yet. I have had this for a little while but just getting into using it, so still experimenting. I am sure it's gonna be great on all kinds of things tho!! Thanks for watching 😁

[@michaelpilyavskiy]

Rhythm guitars is kinda more complex thing since it requires to built match points not only by amplitude-based algorithm but also somehow use Reaper spectral peaks which were introduced year ago. I'll take a look at it, when I hopefully continue developing alighntakes 2.0
