Good job. Very concise and clear presentation. Looking forward to more videos from you

[@blueroadhome]

Thanks, Joe! I definitely plan on continuing to make videos. It's been tough lately because I have been very busy.

[@beebys]

Thank you. Great lesson. Native Instruments support actually sent me this link so you are doing something right!!

[@blueroadhome]

Wow! Thanks for telling me! Pretty cool Native Instruments actually sent you this link. Glad this video helped you, Kemayu! Feel free to post links here of the music you are making!

[@nicolaspiemont6230]

Thank you so much. Sometimes, simple tricks are so useful ! You made me win so muche time I would have spent trying to find out how to use Reaktor.

[@blueroadhome]

Fantastic, Nicolas! Glad this video got you going in Reaktor!

[@DeanLRoganII]

This has really opened my eyes to what Reaktor can do for my compositions. Thanks for the tute...keep up the good work!!

[@blueroadhome]

Thanks, Dean! I am really happy this video sparked some new creative ideas for you!

[@DeanLRoganII]

Blue Road Home Productions This sparked me to go back to earlier stuff and give them an aural ‘face lift’ as well. I’ve had K10 and Logic for over 2 years and never really touched anything past Polyplex, Battery, Monark and Alchemy....that and I took the time to learn engineering to aid in my mixes. A new friend showed me Spiral and said I need to get that...he said I already had it if I had Komplete. We had an issue triggering the sequence so I found this tute...and it all made sense to open an audio track because it’s not MIDI. So I did it earlier today with the same synth you used. I am AMPED to do more based on what you and he showed me!

[@blueroadhome]

Awesome, Dean! Feel free to post a link to your music here so everyone can hear what you are doing!

[@TheseAreShapes]

this worked for me thank you

Superb thanks

[@guir9635]

Hi there, thanks you so much for this helping tips with ReakTor !

[@blueroadhome]

Thanks you so much for leaving a comment! I am glad my video helped you. Yeah, you can have a lot of fun with Reaktor. I did a newer video on Reaktor just last year in case you want to check it out. Mostly the same but with some updates. Here is the link if you want to see it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mni7lKZqetarodE

[@guir9635]

@@blueroadhome i'll check it for sure as i am discovering this plugin :)

[@DaveMenzies]

Thanks for this - i just got Reaktor with the NI startup bundle and had no clue how it worked

[@blueroadhome]

Thank you so much for the great comment, Dave. I am happy this video helped you. You will be able to do a lot of fun stuff in there. I did an updated video that covers a lot of the same material but with a few changes in the interface. If you want to check that out too, here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mni7lKZqetarodE

[@Blackheathguy]

Thankyou!!!! You have no idea how long it's taken me to work that out hahaha.

[@blueroadhome]

I am happy this helped!

[@djjusfed]

this is really helpful, Thank you

[@blueroadhome]

You bet! I am happy to hear this video helped. Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment, Justin. Happy music making!

[@djjusfed]

@@blueroadhome Looking for to see more videos from you, Happy day.

[@YanaMusicOfficial]

Very helpful, thank you! Couldn't figure out why there were no notes showing and how to control the recording - amazing :)

[@blueroadhome]

Glad to help, Yana. When I first started working in Reaktor I had the same issue and it took me a while to get the concept. Once you got it, lots of doors open up as to what you can do creatively. Happy music making!

[@cowboylemonheadmedia]

Thank you. Didn't know what the eff I was doing.

[@blueroadhome]

Glad this helped. It is confusing at first but when you start getting it, it becomes a lot of fun. I plan to make more videos on this but I have been busy devoting myself to music study as of late. Hope to start in on these videos again soon.

[@katharinehorowitz1709]

Same. I was like, "why can I not record?!?!?"

[@wadecottingham]

Great post. I finally see how to record sound generator output from Reaktor. Always a big mystery to me till now. My routing is not working like yours (After setting up the buses just like you did, I still DO hear the output from newscool even when the Audio channel is not yet Record Enabled). But, it does record the audio fine. I will learn more about buses next.

[@jemwarren91]

Thanks!!

[@blueroadhome]

Glad the video helped! Thanks for commenting!

[@jesuslovestoastyaya]

Amazing lesson thank you! Subscribed! I hope you do more. I'm quite proficient with Serum but I want to take the full dive into Reaktor now :)

[@blueroadhome]

Hi Devin, thank you so much for the comment and for subscribing. I definitely plan on doing more tutorials for Reaktor. I've been busy with work so I have been getting videos out as quick as I can. Glad this helped!

[@jesuslovestoastyaya]

Awesome, I totally get it! No worries. If you take any requests, I would love to see some content on creative ways to combine different instruments/ensembles and FX (all from Reaktor). So far I'm absolutely loving using Reaktor FX as an insert on my serum patches, but it would be cool to be able to create entire channel strips from only within Reaktor! Anyways, thanks for the great content! It will surely help my music. - Dev Miles Away

Not late at all and I appreciate the comment and like! This tutorial actually holds up pretty well. If you are interested I have a newer tutorial that is slightly updated. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mni7lKZqetarodE

Thank you thank you thank you :-)

[@blueroadhome]

Gary, I am so very happy this helped you! You are most welcome.

[@francissreckofabian01]

Thank you! Very, very helpful video! I have always had trouble with Reaktor. Usually I can make sounds but not record. Now I know why. The sound generators are audio, not MIDI. I've just set up a Logic Template as you have in this video. Tomorrow I will try it out. I'd also like some more Reaktor tutorials.

[@blueroadhome]

Great, Francis, glad this video helped!

[@carolh2456]

Thanks for the video. Question. When I add an audio track it doesn't give me the option for Stereo. Do I need an audio interface just to record Reaktor??

[@BFND357]

This video saved me from a mental breakdown

[@blueroadhome]

Thank you, Dakoda, for leaving such a cool message! I am so happy this helped. I have a few updated videos on this. They are somewhat the same just updated. You can find them in my video library if you need them. Happy music making!!!

[@slykimc]

thank you so much for video lesson but I can't find Reaktor factory selection R2. Could you help to me?

[@blueroadhome]

Hi slykimc, I need to update this video. They moved it. Go to your Player tab and select Reaktor Factory Library. Then select Groove Boxes and Newscool will be one of the selections under Groove Boxes. Let me know if that helps you and if you can find it. I think they took out the R2 library and just moved all that stuff into the Reactor Factory Selection.

[@HaiDefinitions]

Btw in Reaper you can just set the "Input" to "record output", so you just have to press record and get it as an audio track immediatley

[@blueroadhome]

I haven't worked with Reaper but I only hear good things about it. It's a really great price too!

[@AUGUSTALLEN28]

Where did you get all those files in the (player) section. For some reason,I do not see anything like that.. I just downloaded Reaktor6.

[@blueroadhome]

I need to update this video. There is no longer an R2 folder. They moved everything into the Reaktor Sound Library. If you look in the Reaktor Sound Library and select Groove Boxes, you can then scroll down and find the Newscool instrument I used. Hopefully this clears it up. Sorry for my late reply.

[@SugoiDesu1]

For some reason when I use a bus (i.e.. bus 10) as the input for the audio track and then set that bus as the output for the news cool track I receive no audio signal on the audio track. Even after I hit record enable. Any thoughts/ideas why that might be?

[@blueroadhome]

Can you describe the steps you are taking? I can then try and recreate the problem and see what is happening.

[@charlottehill5828]

Mine is doing the same thing right now.. did u ever figure it out? lol

[@alejandrocastro5184]

Hey there. So when I open reaktor in Logic, I don't see anything in my player tab. I have Kontakt 5 - Full version (not Komplete). Is this why I am not seeing anything under the player tab? Thanks in advance.

[@blueroadhome]

Hi Alejandro, sorry you are having issues. Reaktor definitely comes with factory presets for you to use. Try opening Reaktor in standalone mode...without Logic. Just open the Reaktor application. In the upper left, click on Reaktor > Preferences > Directories. Then under the directories in Library, set your Factory path to the installed Reaktor library. Should be on you main Macintosh HD drive. Try that. Let me know if it works.

[@blueroadhome]

I should have asked. Are you on Reaktor 5 or 6? Is it the free version or did you buy it?

[@alejandrocastro5184]

Hey there. Sorry for the late response. Just got around to trying this. I checked and the preferences> Directories defaulted the factory library path to the correct location on my Mac HD drive...but no luck accessing/seeing what I should be seeing. Also, to answer your question, I just purchased the full version of Kontakt 5 after having just the player. I am starting to regret it now because now I have a bunch of third party libraries that I cannot get into Kontakt now.., along with the this Reaktor issue. Pure frustration.

[@blueroadhome]

Make sure you are clicking on the camera icon under the player tab in Reaktor 6. I just did an 2nd introductory tutorial for Reaktor and It may help you. Here is the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4C3loCbm86Lmas. Also what third party libraries are you having issues with getting into Kontakt? Not all third party libraries use Kontakt. Some have their own samplers. And some don't always load in the main section of Kontakt. Some libraries you have to browse to a particular folder where your samples are and load them that way in Kontakt.

[@blueroadhome]

You can also call Native Instruments technical support if I can't help you with this. They are super great at fixing issues over the phone.

[@HaiDefinitions]

Haha when i saw this plugin first, i thought thats some random crap. And now, after i saw your tutorial, i certainly know, that it is some random crap xD

[@blueroadhome]

Best comment ever!
