REAPER BASICS: Guitar Editing

[@TravelRunnerWA]

Just getting started in Reaper and editing and this seriously is a great basic understanding of cleaning up a track.

[@zanarirecords]

Thanks for watching!

[@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL]

Mate this is spot on. Other videos made this super complicated, this is such a sound explanation. I've been doing a project that needed machine like industrial guitars at one point so this is perfect, just going to hyper align everything! Thanks for this.

[@zanarirecords]

Thanks heaps for watching & im glad it could help you out! Thanks for the comment! Good luck with the project, I'm sure you'll slay it. Cheers

[@PhiberOptik1979]

I think I am going to download this video and load it in reaper and slow it down to 1% to see if I can keep up.

[@tobeabletosee]

Yes, not much a tutorial, more of a speed run. He's very good at what he's doing, but would be nice if for just one of the edits he could slow down and explain what he is doing rather than trying to break the world record for editing guitars. This is more of a demo than a tutorial; very well done, but really hard to follow.

[@PhiberOptik1979]

@@tobeabletosee Agreed. A speed run is the best way to describe this. I can edit, but not like this guy. lol

[@davidlajeunesse2168]

I used to stretch the split which stretch the item before and after the split (both) but on everything. Happy to see the way u do it. You dont need to always stretch and it's much cleaner that way

[@zanarirecords]

So did i! thanks for watching!

[@TonyThomas10000]

I like to use Dynamic Split, add stretch markers, and then snap to grid. Much faster that way.

[@zanarirecords]

Rad! Thats exactly how i do it for demos, definitely a valid technique. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@fabulousaudiorecipes1669]

@@zanarirecords Thanks for the awesome video! What stretch algorithm do you use when editing guitars with stretch markers?

[@Blacklunaproductions]

Thank you!

[@nooneinparticular9868]

I just started using reaper. It’s great!! I added the FLogic theme which has made it way easier to use as income from GarageBand. Slowly muddling my way through. Had to redo a whole song worth of drums. But that’s ok! Learning experience haha

[@PhiberOptik1979]

This guy was editing audio efficiently, correctly, and making major changes in the track at 94% the speed of light. You sir, are not human. Unless you are have powers that you hide from the rest of the world because you are afraid of being discriminated against for being a mutant or some shit. I would pay good money to see you edit audio vs. The Flash.

I was thinking same thing my god edits a song faster than most people can type a sentence out

[@zanarirecords]

Appreciate the kind words! Hopefully the tutorial helped, let me know if you'd like to see any others! Cheers

[@ИльяБойко-е9э]

I'm so thankful for giving me a tip for aligning guitars. I thought that every single track should be aligned to the grid and together, but it's not like that.

[@zanarirecords]

No worries! I'm glad you got something out of the video. There is definitely nuance to guitar editing, and being aware of your guitars being too tight together is super important. Thanks for the comment!

[@ИльяБойко-е9э]

you should make more videos on Reaper. There're not too many tutorials out there@@zanarirecords

[@drew1035]

Legend. Cheers

[@zanarirecords]

Anytime! let me know if you'd like to see any other tutorials! Cheers

[@orionionion]

you're awesome! i use reaper to record acoustic guitar fingerstyle, do you have any tips on how to clean up the tone? this rhythm clean up will definitely help a lot btw!

[@christopherharv]

Great tips. What is the difference between dragging the audio within the lane as oppose to dragging the item itself? Is there any advantage to it or just preference? I get that it will leave a little more audio at the end or start of the length of the item depending which direction you drag, while moving the item as a whole doesn't affect the start/end of the item's audio like that.

[@zanarirecords]

Mainly preference/how I've taught myself. Moving the whole item also means if you have multiple takes to cycle through you will be able to audition each take with them all roughly time aligned.

[@christopherharv]

Editing these staccato parts clear-cut rests is easy. What frustrates me is trying to edit sustained notes with no rests between, but still lots of transients that need to be aligned.

[@chriseschelbacher525]

thank you so much

[@zanarirecords]

Thank you! Let me know if you'd like any other tutorials/how tos

[@dennisneo1608]

WHOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!!!!!

[@northtimo666]

Good stuff man! I usually use stretch markers for editing, might as well try this method.

[@zanarirecords]

Thanks! Definitely give it a shot, I generally notice more natural sounding edits & less artifacts. Thanks for watching!

[@christianmartinez1]

Awesome video, mate.

[@BellsCuriosityShop]

I prefer to use stretch markers for doing this

[@PhiberOptik1979]

That is exactly what I expected to see when I clicked on this video. What followed happened so quickly it challenged the limits of physics. This man is a mutant!

[@PhiberOptik1979]

If you are not making bank off those skills imma bet mad at you

[@zanarirecords]

It's my day job! so so far so good! Thanks for the kind words. Let me know if theres any other tutorials youd like to see Cheers

[@PhiberOptik1979]

@@zanarirecords I'm pretty familiar with reaper now but I would like to beginners type tutorial on routing. Why you need it, what it does, and how to properly set it up for instruments or drums and why you might need to. Some of these things I already know but I wouldn't mind watching one by you explaining all of this from the basics. I hear this asked a lot in reaper forums of the Facebook group. Lots of questions about routing!

[@YeahButStilll]

Man for some reason your fingers smacking that mechanical keyboard is driving me nuts lol I can’t even watch this.

[@zanarirecords]

I low key live for a good keyboard smack. Doing an updated version of this in the future, with 10x less keyboard smacks so hopefully that hits the spot for you

[@noodler2979]

No clue what your doing

[@zanarirecords]

Let me know if you'd like a simpler/slower breakdown of the lesson or which part didn't make sense to you!

[@noodler2979]

@@zanarirecords I think its just me. I just don't have a clue what your doing right from the start, probably because I know nothing about editing.

[@zanarirecords]

​@@noodler2979 Fair enough! not a bad place to start as a lot of Reaper editing is easy to pick up. I'll make some more fundamentals videos & hopefully they help fill in the gaps for you & make more sense. Thanks so much for watching & commenting.
