The Grid & Snapping in REAPER

[@FesteringGhoul]

After several years, still posting such accessible and insightful information. Thank you for showing me the ropes for so long.

[@clydesight]

Another great tutorial. You have been a life saver! I read the manual over and over and nothing works, I watch your videos, and it all falls into place! So glad you made these videos. Thanks!

[@georgenext3030]

Another great tutorial Kenny, thank you! Another very useful option is the pixels setting on the grid options where the grid changes along the zoom level the way it works in other DAWs.

[@klaasbil8459]

I'm impressed by the clarity of this explanation, by the power and customisability (is that a word?) of Reaper, and by how well all of this is thought out with a variety of users in mind. Love it!

[@summerWTFE]

Reaper is probably the only app where you can do a 16 minute tutorial on snapping alone.

[@vanhaze2000]

LOL, totally correct and i luv it !

Awesome Kenny!

[@vlad_gur]

Wow! Super super super useful! Thank you, Kenny.

[@LiveArtPresents]

Once again, Brill. many thanks

[@Jubinell]

Thanks for the video. Is there one that explains about snapping and grid for the MIDI Editor? For example, is there a way to make MIDI notes snap to 1/16 notes as the are being recorded? And what about how to make all MIDI notes snap after they have been recorded? Also can we snap not only the beginning point of the note, but the ending point as well?

[@copykon]

Kenny makes the best fing video's.

[@maclikbez]

Thank you for big helpful work!!!

[@Dang...]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@mykllynyrd]

Can you adjust the snap relative placement or is it based off where the item is before you move it and it maintains that relative position it had originally to the grid?

[@REAPERMania]

It's based on where it was originally placed. You should look into the Snap Offset if you want to dig deeper: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baipfqFmmtCmj5I

[@garlandpoolfredpool]

Does Adobe Audition have such a feature? To me, this alone makes Reaper superior to anything I've ever used before. (Not that I get out that much...but...)

[@DankoHidalgo]

I believe you can still hit the keyboard harder than that if you try hard enough

[@thimovijfschaft3271]

Is there a way to make the snapping based on transients?

[@djabthrash]

@@Hades-ot9tl And maybe use "dynamic split" so that your items are chopped up based on transients already.

[@thimovijfschaft3271]

@@Hades-ot9tl yeah I have seen that. But it's not what I look for. I just want to save editing time, by basically instantly snap everything on the grid

[@adrianwagner336]

hi any help would be GREATLY appreciated with this i have somehow completely lost the grid and the timeline functions in my Reaper no matter what i do i cant seem to get either to show up 😕 please please advise? thank you VERY much!!

[@paulysguitarjournal]

Can you create a Reaper temple where when you click to open it and save it, it makes you save as a new file and doesn’t overwrite your template?

[@chezchezchezchez]

Paul Horn Good question

[@klaasbil8459]

Layman's response: can't you make the template read-only?

[@chezchezchezchez]

What about just doing a Save As?

[@klaasbil8459]

@@chezchezchezchez I think Paul Horn is afraid that he forgets that and then he loses his template.

[@paulysguitarjournal]

Klaas Bil or accidentally saving it without doing a “save as”, which I have done before. I figured that if Microsoft Word and Abode CC had it, it wouldn’t hurt to ask

[@MhelGuitar]

hi thank you so much for your videos it's very helpful, I hope you can make a tutorial on why when i open reaper, my audio in youtube, vlc player or any audio player is not working, and my screen recorder the audio is not capturing, im using asio in my reaper, i can't still figure why, thanks or link me to youtube that has this tutorial, thanks a lot.

[@HyunsungPark-m8z]

How do I make the grid change according to the zoom level? Most daws have this function as standard, but no method was found in the reaper

[@uiliumpowell4684]

I put my snap menu exactly like was shown in this video in several ways with the snap button on and off and then I pressed buttons at random in a lot of combinations but nothing changed the cursor from not snapping nor did it change any behaviour it seems. What could I be doing wrong?

[@mr.youngpower277]

Thanks. but how sinc loop in sampler to temp project? Sorry i m from russia. )) And i have audio frome other DOW. Can i sinc my old audio in Reaper automaticly?

[@AudioBoi1]

that is awesome! very useful

[@asiullopes]

i just wish i could set my grid and snap settings to default cause even if i change it and save it as a project template it doesn't seem to hold onto to those infos

[@asiullopes]

it worked lol just had to delete the previous template and save it again as if it were a new one then updated it on preferences

[@asiullopes]

love u reaper

[@vsczzzzzzzzzzz]

[@Orangensaftmann]
