How to Record Guitar with a Backing Track in REAPER

[@alexbetty5896]

Thank you for sharing this sir, I am new to home recording, a complete novice, and this has helped me enormously. Thank you again

[@lancewestin7885]

You probably dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm you can watch all of the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last weeks =)

[@jamisonbenjamin8806]

@Lance Westin yea, I have been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself :D

[@Mosconi526]

Hello, I’m wondering if you can help me or get my message to somehow that can. I have the Notepad 8fx and I’m using Reaper to record guitar solo stuff over backing tracks. My main problem is that when I hit record (on the guitar track), it’s also re-recording the backing track ONTO what should be ONLY the guitar track. I’m mic’ing my amp and would prefer to not use headphones. Although, even when I use headphones, it still does the same thing. It makes it very hard to adjust the guitar level because it also adjusts the background music. What am I doing wrong??

[@eduardocalvillo9788]

Very clear and helpful, thank you very much for this tip. May the force be with you!!!!!!

[@ziajunaidi2023]

Thanks but my input signal volume is very low so I can't hear the guitar while playing. How do you get high input volume without adjusting the slider? I'm using a behringer um2 interface and the levels are max in the interface

[@mate9468]

Is it possible to change presets while I am recording the guitar track? The song starts with a heavy distrotion part then changes clean.

[@fretbuzz4983]

Hi, Where do you get backing tracks? and how do you put them in reaper? im new to this, any help would great thank you.

[@sebastianamaro9788]

Sometimes you can find the files on websites O even on links on the description of yt videos. But this is rare, so you can just search backing track of anything on yt and then download the audio from. A third party website. Sorry for the bad English, hope this helps you

[@ohimswaggarr]

Thank you sir. For me in Reaper, I have to be in Audio>Device>DirectSound to play the backing track and Audio>Device>ASIO to record. Any advice on how to overcome this and record over the backing track like this video? Thank You

[@joetowers4804]

Can you import the backing track file to its own track?

[@ohimswaggarr]

@@joetowers4804 Yes, when I'm using a mixer. That's the only time it works from me in ASIO mode. I can import, record, or play through the mixer

[@steward_kwong]

this is very helpfull..thanks bro..i just install reaper yesterday😁😁😁👍👍👍..done subscribe👌👌👌

[@berniaz_]

but how to get the backing track with voice? is there any opensource website to download? thank youu

[@rosyshaik]

hi men . this is very good tutorials but I have faced one problem . once I try to drag video track . then it says that reaper error . why it says that

[@giorgoschatzidoukakis-guit7739]

Good Evening. I have been facing the following problem for a few days now. For the recordings of the guitar I use the Reaper but the sound is heard only from one monitor, ie track and guitar as I play from a speaker. The paradox is that on KZbin or any other media player both monitors are heard only when I open Reaper it becomes monophonic. Obviously he wants some adjustment, I have searched, I have broken my head but I have not found anything. I use an audio interface the Behringer umc 204HD and the driver I downloaded for this particular card was the Behringer 4.59, does he want another driver? Anyone who knows something please welcome help. Thank you!

[@thefam9179]

What if the backing track is on KZbin or on another Website where it’s not downloadable

[@dcag76]

let me ask you, do you use reaper in all of your videos? for an example to get the audio and video.

[@GuitarForceCom]

I use Reaper to record my sound, yes, in all my videos. Then I edit everything (video and audio) in Final Cut Pro

[@dcag76]

Thank you

[@Bassbtrackchannel]

Very helpful for me...tqvm sir

[@stevenbruno2752]

Thanks Alex - how do you extend the backing track like you did? I only get the count in part and it stops!

[@thekingofelfland3294]

very helpful. thanks !...and a nice rendition of Sabbath 😎👊

[@alrillera2010]

I am new to this. How do you connect your electric guitar? Do you need some device? Please advise. Thank you.

[@rhrdth]

You need either a USB interface or an audio interface to connect the guitar.

[@SteveMavronis]

I want to do something similar for recording good audio of guitar using my Blackstar HT-1R emulated speaker output into Scarlett Solo into Reaper with a drum backing track (or programmed drum tracks) and to later sync with the video performance of the same. I assume it would be best practice knowing my drum track bpm's to save them as individual Reaper projects with the correct tempos set. Some of the drum tracks I'm using may not be the needed duration so I'd have to cut or duplicate (copy/paste) drums based on the beat measures so the correct matching bpm set before inserting media would be important.

[@jesusescudero3707]

Gracias por el tutorial, es lo que buscaba.

[@paulsnehasish5830]

when im importing the track the track is getting long and slow motioned...i dunno whats the problem can you help? im using reaper with asio4all 64

[@matthiaspark7544]

Same problem

[@Nicolae8607]

Thank you so much..I had Studio one and .ade me stop recording is so hard for me...but I want to try reaper and everyoane say is so easy for begginers Thank you for the tutorial and can I ask how can I record video on my phone but the audio in reaper?

[@DriversFromHere]

The metronome adjust itself automatically??

[@robertclarkguitar]

Thank you. I'm still trying to learn how to get the most out of reaper.

[@marcusnoel5264]

I'm a Reaper Newbie as well. When I try to record Guitar to a Backing Track, the Backing Track gets Recorded again on the Guitar Track along with my Guitar. How do I keep the Backing Track from showing up on the Recorded Guitar Track along with the Guitar signal?

[@marcusnoel5264]

I resolved my problem by assigning all Backing Tracks to a single folder in Reaper and panning that folder 100% to the left as Channel 1 and Recording my Guitar in Mono on Channel 2.

[@pharaoh9483]

That doesn’t happen to me, when I record guitar I keep the guitar armed only . You might have both armed, not sure

[@f.galilee291]

Hi, I have no sound return when I choose in my preférence ''ASIO'' as audio system and ''Focusrite usb asio'' as asio driver. I have a Scarlett focusrite. Sometimes, when I connect my Scarlett on my usb, I can see the yellow bars of volum but just somme seconds. Anyone has an idea ?

[@atilondon]

I have done like in the video and everything worked ok to me. I have the same stuff like you focusrite and asio.did you arm the track?(red circle in track section)

[@nicxla.s]

Hi, I don't find the effect VST:Guitar Rig 5 on the FX audio panel. Where can I find it?

[@GuitarForceCom]

It's a separate program. It doesn't come with Reaper.

[@warningchimes24]

I have the latest version of Reaper, and I can't hear my guitar, I just have to record it and then I could listen to it... what can I do?

[@IsaacOLEG]

well, really basic, thanks, but you just add 2 recordings that are totally out of any sync with a time measure or tempo, so how may you add any midi instrument over that, or edit ? I did see tools that seem to be able to analyse audio and get a time signature and tempo from them, but was really unable to use them with success. Now to have fun your explanations are well enough indeed, but did you make a video on editing, manipulating audio files with a time frame ?

[@777astarothzero]

Thanks for your work. By the way, i have a boss katana 100, and i can´t hear the backing track :( using USB, without a interface

[@budandbean1]

Nice work Alex. Reaper made shout work of it. I use a different DAW but it's always nice to see how different ones work. I've heard good things about Reaper, best part was the price. :-)

[@bearded_riffs]

are you using monitors or headphone for output ?

[@GuitarForceCom]

I use both, depending on the situation. If I'm recording, I use headphones, but if I'm mixing or just playing around, I use monitors or both.

[@stupot7281]

A big help thanks.....

[@valeskaescare61]

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@calvaire6744]

perfect video

[@agunawan1929]

thanks man for tutorial reaper daw,

[@ferdy6642]

Suppose the track is 115bpm how can i enable a metronome with that tempo?

[@Zappabain]

you need to change the tempo of the whole track, I think. But you have to do it before inserting the track or reaper will change the tempo of the track you had inserted (it will sound slower of faster).

[@Atunskie0611]

Thanks men!

[@sergeantcrow]

Thank you : )

[@Oliver-ke7ki]

Hi Alex what is the possibility of doing a cover Bad to the Bone by Running Wild ?

[@GuitarForceCom]

Sorry dude, I'm very busy at the moment.

[@Oliver-ke7ki]

When you have an expensive time dude, Thanks for Attention

[@miguelghislandi8415]

Thank you

[@metallucasdufouras6117]

Awesome , the only problem with me it’s I can’t save it , I wish to keep it on my MP3 player , I can save it but I can cam listening only on reaper

[@tasodrums]

You need probably go to render section and render it to mp3 then? File - Render - so on?

[@rhapsody1979]

Do you use Asio driver?

[@GuitarForceCom]

On my PC (Windows) - yes, I use Asio

[@rhapsody1979]

GuitarForce.Com Ok. Thanks, man.

[@stormrising2623]

Reaper needs to put you on the payroll.you make videos that actually help and demo practical uses.

[@runreilly]

I second this motion!

[@kenmandu4499]

I have no idea what happened ar 4:43.

[@drinkingineasterneurope6947]

he just cut the backing track little bit in the beginning

[@tomharvey8670]
