Reaper DAW 101 Part 6:- Control Surfaces, OSC and Web Remote

[@TigerCarpenter]

the more I learn about Reaper, the more happy I am I intuitively went with the Reaper. and it works on my Linux OS, which is just awesome

[@MrMarconi2010]

I've been a pro tools user for years and am just discovering reaper, what an amazing DAW.

[@lapiz1990]

What??? Seriously??? Man love this video and this DAW. Not even have a clue that you could do all these thins to control and remote control. Thank you!!! You are THE REAPER ORACLE

[@gonzorudeboy]

As a drummer, I've been looking for something like that for ages. Thanks for making it crystal clear.

[@pmvoice88]

This is a godsend. Without having someone to 'run the board' for me, this allows me to take the essentials of the board to wherever I'm recording. Especially for recording multiple tracks on a drum kit, I don't have to keep maneuvering back and forth and knocking shit over and being generally clumsy. One issue is that I don't see a way to listen to audio on the remote device so you still need to run headphones form the board. No biggie. The other issue is you can't see the track meter levels.

[@simonepallotti1590]

In ear monitor TX/RX system. Just like musicans on stage. Otherwise you could try remote control of the computer itself with another dumb laptop. I Never dit it but should be possibile.

[@djabthrash]

Same. I'd like to see meters !

[@Danko76]

After two days of hitting my head against the wall this was very helpful and now i have my touch osc running in both directions.Thank you very much

[@raminile]

13:15 is pure gold and will save me a ton of money

[@kalmankarolyi8756]

In my book the greatest advantage of the web interface is the ability to adjust headphone mixes remotely by band members, allowing the to do their own mixes remotely. No need for personal montiroing stations, the only requirement would be DAW monitoring. I've yet to test it with 2+ people connected simultaneously, but I see no problem with that theoretically. As a new, mindblowing addendum to the web interface: the Web Remote Builder (WRB) has been released, now you are able to create custom web control surfaces in HTML. As a one man band recording all instruments live this saves me a ton of energy running between my instruments and my PC when doing punch ins.

[@asgeirkarlsen2185]

We have 10+ simultaneously users with their own mixes, I bet 100+ would be no problem either. I agree, VERY useful in live situations :) I have built a couple of physical interfaces with knobs and rotary encoders for the musicians who hate using a smartphone for this - actually very handy live, much faster access. Simple ESP8266 micro controllers, communicating with OSC to Reaper.

[@kalmankarolyi8756]

@@asgeirkarlsen2185 Since the posting of this comment I had used it to record my band's demo, it was used during tracking sessions by each member, that's six individual mixes controlled by everyone's own smart device. I had my phone running my custom WRB surface for project navigation and my iPad for personal monitoring. The freedom it gives the perfomer and the burden it lifts off the engineer's shoulder is just immeasureable.

Thanks. Now I have to buy an iPad. Great video. Appreciate you!

[@Pildik]

It's very interesting. It could be theoretically used for controlling reaper via voice assistants. It could trigger recording, for example. Just to say something like "Alexa, start recording"... Implementation could be quite difficult, though. I think some stuff like tasker, voice monkey, IFTTT, and so on would be needed. Or to combine it with autowear and control reaper from your wear os smart watch.

Hi Adam, I just recently discovered reaper, but I’m having trouble with third-party plugins. My softube plug-ins originally worked, but now freeze Reaper and Reaper recognizes some of my Slate digital plug-ins, but not others. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

[@limbophonic1]

interesting info as usual adam, i'm guessing the ipad does not receive the sound from reaper?

[@adamsteelproducer]

That’s correct, this is data only. It’s possible to send sound using something like Audiomovers and a browser on the iPad though, so if you’re on the same local network this could be a cool idea

[@archive3824]

Thank you very much for this tutorial.

[@locutz]

i'm looking at your session in the back and i notisced you have your project into sections how do you do that ?

[@WarrenPostma]

I could not find this anywhere but anyone with a Presonus Faderport classic; The presonus faderport is included in the Control Surfaces in Reaper. But you have to power it down, then hold Stop button for 10 seconds. Until Output flashes. Release stop button. Press and hold Output button. Now the unit is in a mode that will talk to Reaper's faderport mode.

[@lcoiro]

What’s that little playback controller that you’re using behind you on your right? The small silver device?

If I know what you mean that might be the RME ARC

[@TheDragon7t]

been trying to get this to work for over an hour. The ipad controls nothing on the screen. i ve gone over this video again and again to try and figure it out

[@hamzahally-uk]

you have to set the pattern config in the control surface settings to what layout you are using in touch osc, i.e. LogicPad :)

Good question. As in save the reaper project? I don’t know how the specific reaper pages work, but since you can choose and make your own, I’ll bet you can. Best bet is to ask in the reaper forums, those guys are great at helping out in these specific casss

HELP! In Reaper control surface prefs, I can't change the "Local IP" number. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or what step I'm missing. Can you help? Or is there a way I can contact you directly?

[@roberthudson761]

I followed this video's directions but could not get my iPad to control Reaper (although changes in Reaper did cause very slow changes to occur in TouchOSC). Turning off Windows 10 Defender Firewall solved the problem and now changes to one immediately results in changes to the other. I'm running Webroot's Firewall but this does not cause any problems.

[@greasybumpkin1661]

For that browser mode, do you need to be connected to the web for this to work? Can it be done via LAN/Offline? My studio is in the middle of nowhere sadly

[@fredericgoure3705]

Thank you for this vidéo !!!! I'm happy to use the OSC remote, but there is a lot of fonctions that don't work. By exemple, there is no feedback to the iPad (when I mouve fader on Daw), it don't move on TouchOSC. Another exemple, when I muted a track with OSC, it's impossible to demute it. Do you have an explanation for that ? (I hope you understand me, i'm french ;) ) Thank you very much

That sounds to me like your OSC is only working one way- make sure the ports and IP addresses are right for the data to go to your ipad

[@SeanLima]

How do you setup TouchOSC in reaper with a wired connection? I don’t want any latency. Can I use a usb hub to connect my iPad to my audio interface (via usb to midi)? Or do I plug into my laptop via usb?

[@adamsteelproducer]

iPads don’t do wired as far as I know. Why no latency? There’s no audio over osc so it doesn’t affect anything

[@SeanLima]

@@adamsteelproducer I thought that I could use touchosc as a drum pad to trigger sounds in reaper. Would there be no latency even if I'm doing it wirelessly?? And can I use my audio interface plugged into my computer for my guitar and wirelessly use this in reaper at the same time?

[@adamsteelproducer]

Latency over local networks is low enough not to be an issue, it’s only when you get to internet connections that latency can be a problem. And yes you can use your guitar since osc is only a control method and doesn’t affect anything else

[@SeanLima]

@@adamsteelproducer Awesome thank you for the help! I downloaded the OSC bridge and plugged my iPad in via usb into my computer and set it up as a midi device and did exactly what I needed!

[@coeburnett]

You mentioned we can use this with not only a phone or tablet, but another Laptop. It seems to me the laptop would NEED to have a touch screen though? A lot of modern laptops don't have this. So we wouldn't want to just go out and purchase a Laptop, without knowing about touchscreen. No?

[@adamsteelproducer]

No, you can control everything with a mouse

[@coeburnett]

@@adamsteelproducer OK, I thought if we want to use a mouse, we can use a mouse on the main computer screen, but some of us we want an outboard device, with real knobs and sliders, instead of mouse. That's why I came here. But now, you are opening up our minds to get past old school analogue control surfaces and upscale to touchscreen surfaces. Wireless, and using fingers instead of mouse? Maybe, I missed the point! LOL! Sorry, I got a Boomer Brain!

[@adamsteelproducer]

Use whatever method you like, I’m just showing all the options

[@blackarchiteck4226]

This might seem crazy but I lost the arrange wave panel I went to options and rest from layout but still does not go back to the defeat set up. I was going to buy it but if there no fix.

@@adamsteelproducer yes fixed it, thank you men

[@georgemickel6608]

I was able to get Web browser interface working but to no avail, Touch osc, set up per the video settings will only control the iPad, meaning press play etc on the computer keyboard and the iPad reacts, not the other way around. All I'm trying to do is arm my drum tracks, press record and stop from behind the drum set. Until I find a solution, this is my only option. Thanks for the vid!

[@adamsteelproducer]

If it’s working one way but not the other, that could be a port and firewall issue or the IP addresses could need checking
