How to COUNT & FEEL the Rhythm GRID inside a DAW

Do support us on Patreon for Jason’s handwritten notes lessons for various topics. You will also gain access to ALL the content which we put out regularly on our KZbin channel: www.patreon.com/jasonzac
In this lesson, Jason Zac takes you through ALL the Grid Settings of a DAW (Reaper) and teaches how to count each "time feel" (division of the beat)
You will learn how to count internalize the subdivisions as well as train your ear to know whether a piece of music is played as Straight, Swing, Dotted, or Triplets.
The correct GRID settings inside a DAW are very useful when it comes to the arrangement as a music producer. It allows us to use all of our tracks with "purpose" and also to perform tasks such as drum programming, quantizing, and editing.

Hey Jason, I love your content! I struggle a lot to create grooves with my harmonic ideas, and you seem very good at teaching how to create these. Could you please do more videos on how to create our own grooves? or how we can treat the keyboard as a percussion instrument? Thanks a lot! Ps.: I am interested in being a Nathaniel School student!

[@lekhasreekantan3743]

Great video!! Thank you so much. I couldn't get anywhere else such lucid lessons on note values on grid and how to manipulate them. Do you have more videos like this for an absolute beginner please?
