This is not spaghetti, but it is so much more useful, I know I will be using this video for years to come

I'm a game dev and a composer - you've absolutely blown my mind. Until now I've been dealing with mitigating decent loops between careful DAW exports and the default capabilities of Unreal Engine. Never even attempted hacking together custom section transitions. Now I have to try Wwise next time. You're excellent at doing tutorials, too. The audio's clean, your voice and script are very clear, you convey a good amount of information without being overwhelming, and maintain engagement the whole way through. I didn't even notice 40 minutes had gone by. Please consider making more tutorials!

i’m sure you’ve already seen in the patch notes but in case you haven’t + for anyone else wondering: in the latest reaper update (6.58) a new render option was added which solves the problem you were facing at 8:20, in regards to the region render matrix and the master track. at the top left of the render menu, in the “source” dropdown, there’s a new “region render matrix via master” option :)

[@shiramann1]

I am always supporting you from Japan

[@AHmusic]

Aaaaaaaa. You make me miss my game audio phase. Wwise + reaper is such a powerful combo. Im so impressed with how much you got this figured out, I didn't even know you were into this! amazing carloooos

[@TrueGinjaNinjaGamer]

Bro that grand piano is beautiful!!!!

[@ERSHOV]

Thank you a lot! Need more videos like that about interactive music in wwise

[@JimmothyAsteriskCheeseburger]

Wow, I am a huge fan of your other channel Insaneintherainmusic! Now there's two channels! XD

[@robinlydian4452]

31:25 ahhhh that's such a satisfying proof of concept! This video was super helpful, thanks a ton for putting it together

[@RoPanuganti]

Very very cool explanation on things I've wondered for ages!

[@Naux112]

Gives me big octopath traveler vibes. Sounds amazing!

[@Vintagestep]

I'm so glad you're using Reaper, such an underrated DAW. I bookmarked Wwise, I'm sure it's going to be useful for me at some point. Very well explained, I subscribed just after I saw your community post a couple days ago, and It was the right choice after watching the whole video.

[@israelshero9125]

Loving all the new live instruments.

[@trunkotunes1438]

Hope you upload more of these types of videos here!

[@boots8619]

Thank you for this amazing helpful tool

[@ic7846]

Music production is super interesting! I have subbed immediately! Super cool to see what goes into comparing your pieces! Also Sinnohvation just came in through the mail today! I will be listening so it extensively tomorrow after my exam!

[@jaden_makes_music]

Genesis kind of reminds me of Indigo Jam Unit's music, really liked how the A section and B section were in 4/4 then 5/4.

[@TrueGinjaNinjaGamer]

This reminds me of the seamless transitions FF7R makes between battle and overworld versions of its tracks! What I'm trying to say is that you are on par with triple A developers! Excellent job!!!

[@auriels1451]

Thank you so so much for this video!!! - As a student studying composition/music tech, I haven't really looked into implementation yet but this has really helped give me a taste for wut its like - thanks so much!!! It was really easy to follow and well explained! Would love to see more of this kind of explanation videos - even on the theory analysis side of things/production side of things :)

[@Hump007]

This sounds like it would fit in a metroidvania

[@crazyman2820]

Although I'm not really interested in this music making (because I don't think I have enough dedication for it) I really find this interesting Also lovely music!

[@Hump007]

Love this

[@potatoindespair4494]

Wow great timing, I just recently got into game audio and this is exactly what I needed! Super useful!

[@hamman91]

This is a fantastic tutorial. I've always dreaded learning Wwise, and this has helped a ton.

[@Joe_Landry]

Thank you so much

[@dominick8558]

Wooo!! Beautiful job Carlos

[@Gminorscale]

Great video! Really inspirational to see how you implement rubato jazz pieces in Wwise and it's a good reminder that you don't have to lock yourself in to a certain BPM in Wwise, but it can be a bit more fluid. I like your tips about auditioning loop points and transitions in Reaper. What I usually do is to use the SWS Region Playlist manager to test transitions between sections or even how a combination of 3-5 random segments would sound

[@dylanhreyes]

This is so exciting! Great stuff

[@cashwarior]

Oh my gosh this is going to be so helpful for me. Thank you!

[@iperk03]

I've actually been meaning to get into Reaper for a while now. This is great!

[@jblitz1556]

Cool! Awesome! Love it. Absolutely gonna watch this later.

[@yonatanbeer3475]

This is exactly what I want, beautiful.

[@yoshexists]

Beautiful! Are you ever gonna upload the song by itself to your main? It's so beautiful, I'd love to add it to my playlist in the form of a normal song! (Sorry if you said what you're doing with this song and I didn't notice, haven't finished watching)

[@CarlosEiene]

I wasn’t planning on it, at least not in this form! Maybe if I did a bigger more complete arrangement of it, I would, but this is just sort of a demo version!

[@Shlub]

Wow, lots of information, I think these tutorials are really cool though!

[@ChristianRichardson]

YOO

[@moocow3934]

Where did you learn all of this daw stuff? I’m trying create music using daws but I have no idea what I’m doing with them

[@ilovemedia_es]

Great video! I'm also using Reaper and Wwise. I also like the quality of the video. May I ask you what software have you used to record this video? I have tried several software, but when I start to record my Reaper or Wwise screen the audio starts crackling. Maybe in my case it's a low CPU problem (I have an old MacBook Pro, i7 2 cores, 16 GB Ram)

[@natetastic_]

Wait, was Genesis released before this video?

[@Xeno_Channel]

Do you do commissions?

[@CarlosEiene]

I’m open to inquiries! You can contact me via my website contact page - linked in the description!

[@zach_c]

Are you running Wwise in a VM? Some of the UI looks like Windows rather than macOS, and it’s obviously not Bootcamp or some other kind of dual-booting method if you were able to switch between it and Reaper so quickly. Although, I remember you saying something about Bootcamp on Discord to do with streaming something on Twitch? I think I’ve confused myself.

[@camillocazzola8343]

What do you think about fmod? I think the interface is more intuitive

[@CarlosEiene]

I’d agree - I think the interface looks nicer and is more intuitive. Wwise seems like it has more powerful features to me overall though!

[@MJ-sy2en]

Wait you have a second channel?

[@milesvarnedore4259]

Homie uses reaper bruh u terrifying
