Replacing Drum Sounds in REAPER

[@MeAndTheBoys_]

The question is : What can't Reaper do? The most customizable, simple on the surface but super deep, comprehensive and most professional DAW, i have ever used. You can make this DAW to do pretty much anything you want, with audio, and soon probably with video too, who knows. Now you can even replace sounds, just like that. No need to convert audio to MIDI anymore, or use plugins etc, unless it is your style. Reaper has not stagnated at all, it is still pushing forward. Amazing 🤘

It can't make breakfast yet. and this is disappointing .

[@aKRo228]

@@eegoal if you have smart devices at home you can tell coffe machine to make coffe from reaper.

[@DJe1957]

This is a banger. Makes some certain plugins redundant saving a big buck. Thanks again, Kenny!

[@AiMR]

I find it is easier to just drop in a ReaGate and ReaSamplematic5000. From there just have ReaGate trigger a MIDI note. You can even record the MIDI to a new take if you want.

[@REAPERMania]

You should try ReaSamplematic5000. It's 3000 more. :)

[@Kathayne636]

Great mix! This is how it's done. Amazing, concise, clear. Nice job zooming in on the menu items. Just totally pro video.

[@Bluelagoonstudios]

Absolute more dynamic kicks, this is worth trying, sometimes I have projects where kicks are so poor, but they use different kicks to mix in. With all the disadvantages, you get. Phase and other problems. This is very useful, thanks Kenny, you just made my day. Also the snare is ringing a lot in the original, so this way is great to get rid of those. Or keep it and mix in with the sample. I consider this one of the most useful video's, for me. A lot of others are also great, but this is where my world will change. I used before the SPL drumexanger, but this is way more powerful. Amazing!

As always writing a comment to support the channel

[@adedayofajemisin4767]

Mhen.. thanks Kenny. This is top notch! This has saved me a buck or two! God bless you sir.

[@JordanVarela-s3c]

Love your work brother. You help me so much on my albums! The narration video got me through. And now this to help w better replacement sampling on my drums. Can’t wait to tinker w this. Thank you and Gods blessings over you

[@gregglen-hoodedratmedia]

Brilliant content as usual. Thanks for always showing all steps involved! I'll definitely apply this when needed

[@EJohnDanton]

Nice - and you could EQ each kick differently and pan them wide for an even more massive sound.

[@Bluelagoonstudios]

I think this is one of the powerful features from Reaper, That I wasn't aware of. Absolute stunning technique.

[@edwardkenemorales]

Kenny, can you please show us how you mixed that radio-ready vocals in this track. Sounds really 90s-00s rock. I really love it!

[@fuckcensorship69]

Your tastes 😂😂😂😂

[@croay]

I wish dynamic split items was a bit easier to handle on Reaper but I had no idea I could just replace items like that... awesome, already planning a custom action to make it instantly!

[@sebastianhanzlik4644]

Great video, wandering how it will work on drums if you have room mike track only

[@12bdrumer]

I'm trying to clean up my band drum track recordings from the 90's and this was very helpful!! Thank you for sharing👍👍🥁

[@thmp3r]

Saving this to favorites, holy cow

[@sasha_davydoff]

Thank you Kenny, right on time as usual, great job

[@diglauser5758]

Awesome tutorial Kenny. Thanks for this lesson, cheers from Brazil.

[@DThompson55]

I always thought this must be awfully hard to do. Nicely done. Well, explained.

[@Bluelagoonstudios]

Same here, I used a plugin, but wasn't that satisfying like this.

[@holgieselchen7033]

a really good trick. I would never have thought of that in 100 years. Instead, I might have bought a plugin for expensive money that doesn't even come close to the performance of the trick you presented in this video. 👍🤗

[@steveward6255]

Hi. Love this. WHere can I find kick and snare samples please?

[@pbenn53]

I've learned so much from your tutorials! I appreciate what you do and the clarity with which you explain things!

[@rickbiessman6084]

Kenny, your videos have become way too cool. :)

[@JonHarris77]

Not mentioned in the video, but this technique results in the new samples not having any of the dynamics of the original drum performance. This is probably most noticeable with snare, especially if there are any ghost notes, crescendoing fills, etc. It basically has a compression effect on the drums, with the ratio of the original sample to the new ones determining how much compression there is. All new drums = maximum compression. For some genres, this doesn't matter or is even desirable. For others, you will lose some of the feel of the original performance. Of course you can manually fix it with item volumes if you want to take the time.

[@link3693]

Could you use an envelope on the volume? I know it’s tedious but it seems possible

[@simke123]

So useful, thank you Kenny!

[@BoAakerstrom]

Excellent! Useful! There is nothing like a drum - you can't beat them! But now you can - by layering them...

[@grobinson9352]

Thank you much...I always luv the videos you create to show every step...Thank you!

[@ulfsvensson9710]

An easy way to make it way better. Thanks for the tip.

[@oolivv]

So cool, where do tou find free drums single samples?

[@REAPERMania]

I've been collecting them for years. They're around if you look.

Oh my! Thanks Kenny I've eaten so much time creating midi spikes (could you do a video on this topic please?) And using sampleomatic after. Your method is more efficient!

[@wj2music]

But here’s my question, if we use reaper for our live mix at church how would we be able to layer samples on kick and snare without having to use triggers?

[@TheBrettSiler]

This is insane… So simple and fast! Thank you!

[@4funkystrings]

Would love to know what you have on your library as replacement samples :)

[@snowandcoal]

Is there bug in the current version. No matter how I set the threshold these are only few cutting points.

[@eranddroory9987]

Just what I needed. Thanks Kenny 🙂

[@mikelance4113]

Thanks for this! Exactly what I was looking for.

[@ryannatalemusic]

So I’m having issues.. once I click dynamic split, everything works but some of the hits get duplicated so it sounds like it’s glitching out. Also, not all of the transients are being split.. some are getting missed. Any advice on how to fix that?

[@jeremy_p]

Once again, You ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@byrdman_drums]

Does anyone know why im still hearing the original kick sound even though its been replaced with the sample?

[@henrikfisch]

Very very nice! 🙂

[@diegongbayong]

I use reaper for live streaming mixing to separate mixing of actual performance to live stream. My question is, is this possible to apply on my case?

[@r.j.motajunior2761]

*the song is "Break The Line" by Coma Svensson. Nice video tho \m/*

[@kurtjanssen3887]

This is great!! Thanx Kenny (and Reaper for being Awesome)😁

[@ThePilate30]

Just like every video, treasure trove of info!!

[@santoshgujar5237]

Thank you, Sir, 🙏🌺😇

[@regularkc]

Who is the artist on this? Great song!

[@privateprivacy6949]

Great lesson. And really cool song!

[@BeesWaxMinder]

I invested in BFD3 because it was on a black Friday sale and I just haven't been able to get it triggered by Audio ANY ideas..?

[@AndyCampbellMusic]

That's amazing

[@Enatural_7]

Damn that was helpful and awesome

[@cluster0ne]

i've used rea-gate for midi triggering drum samplers for years, way simpler and faster(for me anyway).. still great info for beginners as always

[@ivanshafiq2915]

🤩

[@SeanNiwel]

Amazing !! thx !

[@veritaxx]

nicee, tks so much ~~

[@SevenGlitch]

Really? It was really that easy? I gotta try this!

[@Pinkybum]

It would have been nice to do a volume leveled comparison rather than just adding to the volume with the samples. Everything always sounds better when louder!

[@KucharczykKamil]

YEP Nice

[@paulkit-]

woowww👏👏👏👏

[@fartinazoodle]

this changes my audio... i had kick snare kick kick snare no matter the thresehold it became a single kick all the way through

[@diiegopc]

woooooooow
