Recording MIDI Notes with your Voice in REAPER

[@Okewen]

As usual, very useful, to-the-point, no frills, no BS information. Thanks Kenny, thanks Reaper!

[@dianevrules]

Another reason to love using Reaper

[@UnkleIroh]

Ive been using this software for 10 years and I still learn new things all the time

[@TebogoMotlhale]

This is INSANELY fun to play with, i could do this ALL day long. Nothing will beat this in terms of unlocking creativity and inspiration STRAIGHT out of your brain . . . that little tune that's always spinning in your head can finally be captured as Midi ON THE SPOT !! 😁😁😍😄😍😍👌👌 Big ups to you Kenny !

[@cmd_f5]

This is so cool, had no idea reatune could do MIDI from audio like that. Very nice.

[@ericryser5979]

Right? And you hit the nail on the head...obviously any single line (iow non polyphonic) audio will work, not just voice

[@KrzysztofChomski]

Wow, I'm literally blown away at how versatile and powerful Reaper is :O Thank you Kenny, you rock!

[@ericryser5979]

literally? I doubt that highly

[@octobeats560]

I have tried a lot of DAW's in the past....Tracktion Waveform, Reason, Ableton... I am was a long time FL user... kind of stuck to FL Studio... Now I am definately moving to reaper...Finally I found the freedom I was looking for!!!!!! Thank you for all of our Videos...keep up the good work! Regards

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

It also works if you use your guitar into your interface I stead of a mic.

[@hezekiahricky7346]

I know I'm kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released tv shows online?

[@hamzajaxx2230]

@Hezekiah Ricky try flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@roryemilio7835]

@Hamza Jaxx Yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)

[@hezekiahricky7346]

@Hamza Jaxx thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it!!

[@hamzajaxx2230]

@Hezekiah Ricky glad I could help xD

Thank you so much Kenny... this is very cool. No way I could learn to much about Reaper without your tutorials.

[@mikeyspikey001]

This changes everything to the point of bringing me to happy tears!

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Excellent tutorial sir. Will be a spectacular utility for when the muse hits. Thank you!

[@carltonhall6628]

I googled "is it possible to record vocals as midi", and it led me here. I'm so glad it did 😁

[@thingamajig765]

Man, every one of your videos just blows my mind. This has been my favorite blown mind

[@iainmackenzieUK]

Fantastically useful! Thank you Kenny - clear and informative as always!

[@mrdolinman]

I found that if you increase the "Window size" to 200, and the "Overlap" to 8x, it gets rid of a lot of the extraneous notes. I started getting clicks and pops, which was fine for just getting the MIDI in the PC from my voice, but if it really bothers you, you can just adjust your buffer.

[@UCCAWiditha]

Thank you so much!!! You're an absolute legend!

[@LoneWolfAudio0524]

This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. My keyboarding is slow, this is a game changer. Can you somehow add this sort of thing to a vocal track that already exists? I am a voice actor and it would be really cool to add a VST "my voice in places for some really cool effects. I just bet there's a way to pull this off.

[@tezeta3725]

You can add reatune to a prerecorded track and do the same thing

[@fixelheimer3726]

@@tezeta3725 wouldnt you have to create a new track, (with reatune+record midi out) and put the output ( audio) of the original voice track into it (output send to reatune track)- because you cannot record and play at the same time!

[@jdavidojeda]

It is incredible, day by day reaper surprises me more.

[@impulsecontroldisorderband6959]

this is an absolute game changing revelation for me! thanks Kenny

[@cymbals1111]

Wow!!! This is a game changer. Add pitch correction to whatever key you're in and presto! Amazing... Thank you so much for this.

[@Prajwal____]

Wow! Yess

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodNitpicker]

Wicked cool! I knew such things were possible, but I had no idea it would be that easy to put together. Now I just need a good string/pad pack.

[@lizzy_rascal]

extremely useful for things like UTAU/vocaloid/synthV this way I can just sing what i wanna hear from the virtual singer, it's easier for me to vocalize than use the piano roll

[@CordaroRodriguez]

Awesome. Is there also a way to capture volume and translate that to CC1 modulation? In FL Studio, there is a Peak Controller allows you to use translate decibels to continuous controller data. Converting both pitch and volume of audio to midi and CC simultaneously would be game changing!

[@mangotango5988]

Love your Reaper tutorials man! You really know your stuff! Thank you!

[@perlemming]

Nice function :) Totally worth playing with. Cool intro too.

[@REAPERMania]

Got bored of the old one. Thanks.

[@Michael_Lak]

I'm so excited.

[@heckensteiner4713]

So cool! As a guitar player, I find painting notes on the piano roll super tedious. At least this can help slap some notes/ideas down for me to tweak. Really awesome!! Watching more and more of your videos and I love them! I'm becoming a bigger and bigger Reaper fan by the minute.

[@nullnullnull314]

Love your videos and how much your cadence reminds me of Christopher Walken.

[@kugelfunk]

I put my pants on one leg at a time. Except: once my pants are on, I make gold record. And fellas: Don't Fear the Reaper kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYfWgn-ioJKHZtU

[@JimmyCooperAustralia]

NAILED IT! 😂😂

[@divinitysamples]

Excellent. Reaper is powerful! Thanks Kenny 👍

[@ДенисМамсуров]

Recording drums with voice! Please, Kenny

[@bethanyreynoldssouthminste815]

that would be a Dubler thing

[@davidscherrer5333]

Amazing. Any new option for midi cleaning since the video was first uploaded? Through quantization options + ignore imputs under that length or other techniques :)

[@FernandoGuerreiro]

Thank you very much. Your tutorials are amazing.

[@earthlightsmusic2743]

Perfect article! Someone is trying to sell me a plug-in for a quarter thousand dollars to do this exact function, when it turns out I can repurpose a voice tuner for it. Also, I find if latency is perceptable I can always drag the recording back in time to line up with all else.

[@Matoro342]

You teach as well as you sing, bravo and thank you.

[@libertyDude1775]

Wow! Amazing! Time to play.

[@Simple-Guy]

Thx Kenny! Your tutorials are truly helping. Keep up the great work!

[@rayderrich]

I needed this so badly, Kenny

[@maddruid840]

Amazing. Used this with a DI electric guitar to drive NeoPiano VSTi and it sounds like I'm a competent blues pianist.

[@jimbeaux4988]

I had to smile when I saw the title. Reaper does some amazing things these days. I use midiguitar and have to clean up the midi in the same way. I eventually started modifying some JS midi filters to speed things up. Great video and I really hope some singers get inspired by this.

[@PeterJohnsonWales]

Well, just WOW. Brilliant!

[@kagard]

Brilliant!

[@SneakyJoeRu]

After a lot of tinkering managed to get somewhat decent result. Apparently I can't hold a note. Set tecord to output MIDI To record midi "record monitoring" seems to be required, which may require you to disable your instrument while singing in order to properly save it.

[@vikramjitbanerjeetuki]

Oh man you are the God of Reaper tutorials 🙏

[@uti4ek]

Wow, thats amazing! Thank you, Kenny!

[@forsale313]

All I can say is WOW and thank you.

[@IDDQDSound]

2:00 how did he fold the plugin to the track interface???

[@AzulQuintero]

@Lungho ok but how you fold it?

[@amfimoll9428]

Increadible.

[@cremon70]

I have a question: do you have any trick to decrease the latency? Thank you so much, this is a great video !!!

[@bigbob4205]

Nicely done ✅

[@djabthrash]

Awesome ! The theme reminds me of "Riz Ortolani - Main Theme [Cannibal Holocaust - Original Soundtrack]" :)

[@endlessart69]

Simply magic

[@michalhaggimklimes]

Brilliant

[@jamessharier7529]

Very cool indeed, another one to play around with while I’m quarantined

[@flacora]

So, sorry for my ignorance but where the piano harmony came from? It was a previous track and you sang over it?

[@REAPERMania]

Yeah. Just some background music.

[@muhammadnaufal4413]

thanks for the tutorial dude, its very helping for the people with low music knowledge like me

[@mrbak]

Mindblowing!

[@stephensamuels3738]

nice... but too bad we don't have a JS plugin that could eliminate the small unwanted notes instead of having to use the filter after recording... I tried the JS MIDI Note Length but did not work well... it would be better if we could have a plugin or script that could filter out notes less than 1/8...

[@rogermisterm4042]

Honestly, I think that this video was simply the best vídeo which I've watched about this subject. Unfortunately I can give only one like to this video. Sorry for the bad english and greetings from Brazil

[@Skandawin78]

Reaper has answers for almost all things you can imagine. But why no session view/ scratchpad like option which is built and works seamlessly with workflow. Logic pro 10.5 has now come up with live loops?

[@carlosmaranhao5637]

espetacular, obrigado Kenny...

[@dariusmolark6820]

excellent!

[@sykrosis]

Bro. You just changed my life lol. Thank you so much for this video 🙏🙏

[@jeffreydavid2997]

I had some trouble with this. I found it tracked much better if I would sing or play guitar through some compressed fuzz.

[@bluecrystalpalace]

excellent thanks for this!

[@Taffafilms]

Can you use a pre-recorded vocal track instead of singing to the microphone?

[@chechidi]

Thank you.

[@jeffryjeffersonroxas2286]

I learned at least 10 things in this video that has a million uses.

[@BernardFate]

It is really a great feature you showed, thanks a lot :-D

[@MrXavely]

Great job!

[@seenuhello1]

When I make Reatune play my voice on a piano VST, it turns a simple song like Happy Birthday to You into a jumbled mess of atonal-sounding piano notes.

[@MrFLAVIUS12]

Hi Kenny, Does the intensity (velocity) also detect it?

[@AnthonyCarrier]

You could compose an entire song with reatune with an orchestral if you take the timeto do it...Not only with starting with the voice but also a guitar or acoustic pianoor any other instrument that you can think of...boom...!

[@NickCapron]

Amazing, thank you so much for all your videos, super helpful stuff!

[@RafaelSantos_]

WOW!! (Mindblow.gif).... Wait. I can.... use this to create psytrance basslines and crazy synths melodies like Polyverse Manipulator O.O

[@brianrosado]

so cool...

[@laskholt]

Thanks again Kenny, really useful !

[@DavidSmith-ce8jv]

Best one yet. I learned more different things. Better even than Jelie. Who is also very helpful.

[@truthfinder4973]

hum light went off in my head you can take a guitar and play one note at a time . lol midi guitar butt you have to only play mono notes it wont with full chords this was sick thank you for showing this

[@inventor121]

I'll bet if you use an autotune module on the input track you can get more accurate notes, finally a good use of autotune.

[@BeGoodNow5]

that is so cool!

[@Ashleyraji]

when you taught us to record midi using guitar you used the EQ to turn off the guitar sound while in this case you are using the volume plug in is there any certain reason why you did that ??

[@schlechtj1]

I think there are a large number of ways you can remove the original sound.

[@jean-marcknight8816]

cool. but you won't be able to send pitch bend and modulation do you ?

[@monkeydonkey6246]

this is so cool thank you

[@cps6497]

Thanks ! Incredible way to play MIDI !

[@mjstecyk]

seems like you could get some cool faux-vocorder (fauxcorder?) type effects using these techniques.

[@gurlerium]

shit i have to sell my all keyboards :)

[@broccoli747]

Dope intro music update! 😎

[@REAPERMania]

Thanks.

[@timbrogdon4168]

OMG Yes! Game changer - as a songwriter - wow - just wow

[@garygoldblum5987]

Does anyone know if you can do this with drum beats. I want to sing (play drum sounds) with my mouth and have it come out as midi notes. Is this possible??

[@Freeloops-rl2xz]

Can we hear it in real time while we sing and can we use it to play drums with our voice

[@akusbass]

Thanksa lot for share this with us! Game changer!

[@zuicejouxjoux153]

ur the man! thnx

[@tristanjonardantipolo5708]

Can this trick be use on drum plugin??

[@SWEEYAM]

Damn man 🔥

[@pingolexx]

Thank you!!!

[@Freeloops-rl2xz]

Can we make chords using this

[@vivenzeo]

yup. just add JS MIDI Chord in Key to the input fx as the last slot.

[@stebal68]

hello, thanks for that. i have a wav bass track how could i use your solution to convert this wav track to another midi track (or the same track) ? thanks

[@StuartJW92]

How could I send my voice to an external MIDI synth?

[@kedskiesfunnyvideoscollect5179]

Can we turn recorded samples into midi?

[@ifaber68]

Very nice tutorial! Thanks :-D
