REAPER Mixer Shortcuts - 14 tips to work faster in REAPER's mixer

[@mikedamisch]

One of the best Reaper vids I've ever seen. Learned tons of stuff from this one.

[@elblopex]

I always bypassed fx trying to unload cpu but now I find I was doing nothing. Thanks, man! You enlighten me a bit more with each video

[@Gezheb]

Thanks for not wasting time. Go go go mixers.

[@jamiew.lacroix7055]

So many thanks to you for your superior efforts, when it comes to the awesome content you post. If not for you and mr. kenny I would only be a mediocre Reaper piolet.

[@styrofoamghost5099]

I knew some of these already, but the other ones are gonna be a huge help. Great vid. Thanks Jon

[@alanbrucke]

I’m a former Cubase power user and my favorite thing about Cubase was always the mixconsole. The mixer in Reaper is quite nice as well. I’ll definitely be putting all of this to heavy use. 🤘

[@extrimnetworkug]

Well this has actually been the best short cut video.......I think I am going to be the fastest reaper producer

[@jimmydeer]

amazing thanks-several are great but the drag-send just added 3 years to my life

[@TheREAPERBlog]

Great to hear!

[@TheKer7]

holy cow, this def gives me some data for my 900-day evaluation period... i will i will

[@Martell276]

How's that 2100 day evaluation going? 🤘🏼

[@nickcorduan2938]

Swipe drag, Ctrl and Alt with fader, Quick Offlining an Effect -- great tips!

[@jazznutz]

What's it like to be smart and organized? Reaper is so powerful and customizable. My brain can't contain all the keyboard shortcuts and customizations.

[@ctld5266]

Thanks for the short cut on the track routing

[@blakepennycook8952]

Great video as always

[@M4Y0_]

Thank you so much, these tips are so helpful! :)

[@xaosnox]

Wow, Jon! This is golden. Thank you. I think I could use REAPER every day until I'm 150 years old and still learn something new and amazing about it. I can't understand why anyone would use any other DAW except for FL for people who want to kill real music and Nuendo for film scoring. How is Avid still in business? Pro Fools is the second biggest scam in existence.

[@Jaws-lh4eh]

X S what’s the first

[@mabian69]

I think you forgot the FX ALT-drag to move it to a different track instead of copying it. Nice video :)

[@0oTHEJACKo0]

how can I add the toolbar to the left like you did? Only found position toolbar for other areas...

[@Juanparedesrockmusic]

Very good videos man!! Thanks for sharing, very aprecciate it!!

[@lexluthier8290]

Thank you Jon, that was really useful 👍

[@colmcaffrey]

Any ideas how you can toggle the mixer from wide to narrow as you could before reaper 6

[@rhythmjones]

Is there a way to get a control surface to ignore hidden tracks? They say that Klinke has a "folder mode" but I can't figure out how to use it.

[@TheREAPERBlog]

mine has a button combo for it but outside of that I don't have any experience

[@rhythmjones]

@@TheREAPERBlog Thanks!

[@sergiogabaldongarcia3492]

Check CSI in the Reaper forum... Amongst other things, you can tell your control surface to follow MCP or TCP. I've not tried hiding the tracks, but I have enabled the "show parent tracks first in MCP" thing and now I have all my busses in my first channels on the surface! Mixing is not much faster.

[@JRNonline]

In Pro Tools, in mixer view, it's possible to select multiple instances of an effect and bypass them all at one time (for A/B auditions). Is this possible (in mixer view) in Reaper? I've made multiple attempts to figure this out, with no luck. Thanks!

[@nielswil]

When i add a instrument, i get a channel on my mixer, and then i place effects on that channel. But i always add SSL channel strip to every channel i get. Is there a way that that will happen automaticly?

[@musicman070991]

how did you change the color of the dialogs? and is it possible to darken the context menues?

[@bncprado]

Hi. Thank you for all the videos you make about reaper. It helps me a lot, thank you very much. Let me ask you, how do I get the "group" view in the mixer window? I mean, you have the channel groups separated by color and looks like they have a kind of separator between them. How do I get my mix window to look like yours? thank you

[@TheREAPERBlog]

SWS Autocolor. I set up a rule to make folders a different layout. Tracks in folders automatically get the color of the folder. Layouts are configured in the Theme Adjuster

[@bncprado]

@@TheREAPERBlog Thanks. I found what I was looking for that is "add border around folders". It's so much easy to see the folders with this option turned on. Thank you very much my friend

[@rodrigoyanez7153]

Hi there! I can't found the "Copy/paste/Clear FX Chain..." Action

[@banigrisson]

I like how that theme looks in the mixer! Anyone knows where to get it?

[@TheREAPERBlog]

its basically reaper 6 default. I didn't change much

[@largeuselessness]

so amazing!

[@MartinvonBargen]

Hey Jon, great vid. Is there a way to copy an FX to several other tracks in the mixer?

[@TheREAPERBlog]

I do it with the customized menu. copy one, select multiple, paste. I have this on the custom toolbar on the left also.

[@matthewrobison5351]

Jon, I am using windows with reaper and I can't seem to find the cycle actions to start and stop recording any help would be greatly appreciated

[@Rother-bg2mb]

Thank you

[@xaosnox]

I was looking everywhere for how to change what the modifiers do to the FX in the mixer and couldn't find out where to do it. I just happened to have this tab open and thought he might cover that, but he only shows what the default modifiers do. I'm almost certain I've changed these before. Anyone know how you do it?

[@TheREAPERBlog]

I don't know of a way to change them

[@weslaycock466]

Tip 5 is nice I never use the mixer but I just might now

[@nagaland5]

Really love the intro beats!!! Great tutorials.

[@ifaber68]

Thanks, very useful this tutorial :-)

[@Plastidon]

Hi . Thanks for all the tutorials, I’m new to reaper and was wondering who do you contact if you find a bug ? I’m having a issue with midi and it’s making a audio buzz , it’s freezing when doing midi .and issues with start and stop using space bar Thank you for any help

[@everythingtakin]

I have start and stop with space bar with some plugins that arent native. Or compatible fully. When I had reaper 64 and 32 bit plugins that would happen so I installed reaper 32 and wala all works now with play stop space bar.

[@EJohnDanton]

Great video - I think the Mixer doesn't get as much love as it should because Kenny's videos do not feature it very much - definitely not as much as yours. At least that's my perception. I like putting the mixer on my 2nd monitor. Perhaps a future video can show the best usage of a 2nd monitor for increased workflow and adjusting the layout to suit (ie removing the redundant stuff)?

[@JunkBondTrader]

I never use the mixer. I'm not sure exactly what it does that the track panels can't do, and to save screen space, I just use one.

[@nothingisinourcontrol9520]

best video

[@heavyvibrationstudiopl3256]

Where is my mixer?It is gone.How to bring it back?

[@aaronchincano2874]

Hi, how can I change "Move FX" by holding ALT to another key mapping than ALT?

[@TheREAPERBlog]

those are not possible to change. what's wrong with alt?

[@aaronchincano2874]

@@TheREAPERBlog thanks for yyour answer, I would rather expect „move“ without pressing any key and „copy“ by pressing ALT, because in macos that‘s more common

[@christophemagnan-bosse6313]

nice, thx!

[@Firas_Patov]

we really need ( add fx to selected tracks ) , so we can add for example ( tape machine ) to all selected tracks at once without having to assign a shortcut to a specific plugin.

[@durbodill]

Wouldn't you rather make one FX-Track an then send multiple tracks to that instead of applying the SAME effect to multiple tracks? Would probably put less stress on the CPU as well...
