Calculate Loudness (LUFS) with Actions in REAPER

[@xerxes-music]

Hi Kenny. I don't use Reaper (I use Renoise and Bitwig) but I watch every single video from you. Many things you teach are universal in the DAW world - and you have this Zen way of doing it. So thank you sir! Love your work ❤️

[@chadmiller8725]

Another good one Kenny - thanks as always. I literally check first thing each day for new Gioia wisdom and guidance regarding all things REAPER.

[@Dang...]

Kenny, thanks for sharing your expertise in these concise videos. It's also great to finally see your face after having enjoyed and benefitted from so many of your excellent videos. You are a treasure.

[@masterwong3837]

Kenny is the King of Reaper! Thanks for all your videos.They helped me so much over the years! Stay safe and sound! ;-)

[@Dang...]

Your videos are so clear, concise, and helpful. Thank you. Reaper is such an amazing software!

[@alainsellier7751]

Thank you again Kenny for this tremendous helpful tutorial. This of great help to keep things under control!.

[@EnricoCupellini]

I love your tutorials on Lufs

[@samaitcheson7057]

Hi Kenny. I just want to thank you for your tutorials. I've learned more than I ever knew there was to Reaper and it's really helped me with my own music production 👍

[@REAPERMania]

Glad to hear.

​@@REAPERMania Hi Kenny - can you help me locate one of your videos, please? In it, you showed a way to quantise a guitar or bass for example by creating a duplicate track, adding a high pass filter to emphasise the transients, adding stretch markers and grouping the two tracks etc, but I'm a bit stuck and need to see the video again. Many thanks!

[@gautamchowdhury2871]

@@REAPERMania Hi Kenny. We always learn something from your videos. I just want to ask you that after installing windows 11 the ram display in project window always showing zero MB. Is it a bug? if not how can I fix it? please help.

[@StamatisKekes]

What a juicy video you made Kenny, really the jungle of actions in Reaper keeps growing and keeps covering all things that not sure in other daws if they are covered so well .. As a drummer who uses reapers for drum covers and for my practice. in my practice for now I use a click track and I have 4-5 sections with tempo changes so I can easily choose the speed and noticed the section usage. For the future if you have not covered I would like to see a series of video covering automation from the very basic stuff of using envelopes up to more advanced stuff ... or if already done those to have them in a play list so that I can go through them and learn new things that my reaper Guru shares with all of us ... Keep those videos coming Kenny ...

[@meirbarbi]

Hello festival I would like to thank you for all your videos it helps me very very much and I'm using your tips everyday while using reaper I would like to ask if there is a n option to insert record without override the old record just move it later like in word processor or liking other softwares such as gold wave and sound forge thank you very much for your help

[@JulesO]

Kenny is THE SHIT daawgggggg

[@leila1662]

Great tutorial thanks. What about if I want to ascertain the noise floor/basic room tone before recording? Do you have a simple technique? Thanks for this tho 👍

[@southsideronnie]

This some powerful DAW! Thanks Kenny!

[@MunkirNakirGaming]

You are the best 💞 master .....

[@TheBigNoob]

Why are the mono LUFS values so much lower than stereo?

[@mixinginthebox]

Thank you.

[@edsterling5258]

That's fantastic. I wish my daw had that. I am definitely switching to Reaper pretty soon.

[@pcmdocvila]

Hi Kenny, very nice and useful tutorial, as always. I told you in a previous comment that I like your new intro. But as other followers, it is true, I miss the dancing skeleton too. Thanks for teaching us and keep the good job 🕺

[@REAPERMania]

I'll bring them back. Thanks

[@Ihadtosettleforthis]

Lol when Kenny's tutorials are of such a reliably high standard that the only thing to criticise is the videos at the end of the tutorial

[@pcmdocvila]

@@Ihadtosettleforthis I agree with you, but missing the skeletons was not a criticism

[@Ihadtosettleforthis]

@@pcmdocvila Lol yeah I was playing it up as a criticism with my joke..didn't mean to put words in your mouth :)

[@bobless5517]

Super!

[@teixei05]

Kenny, Thanks for your clear explanation.

[@joeheukerott9186]

Another good one - very useful and pretty cool! Thanks.

[@HubertMurrayMusic]

Thanks for this Kenny!

[@smalexn]

Awesome!

[@santana2420]

Great again. What method do you recommend to measure my guitar presets volume?

[@REAPERMania]

Put the Loudness Meter plugin after your guitar preset and play.

[@jasonandrew81]

👍 . How can I save projects in two different places? Like Two SSD or Two HHD or both .

[@opsjesse]

I'm really wondering if i can automate pre-fader gain levels for tracks&regions based on VU metering, and not LUFS. I think I remember kenny doing it in a type of way using the loudness meter, writing it to an envelope, inverting the envelope, nudging it slightly to ride the gain before each waveform starts, etc. BUT- could there be a more effective way to automate that in a few clicks so one can just manually fine tune the result afterword? Is this a pipe dream?

[@r2v2]

I LOVE THIS GUY

[@MoreMeRecording]

I really wish there was a video that covered how to fade from the MASTER for a fade ending in your render. I see the option on the master but I don't get the automation lane to draw it in :/

[@Ihadtosettleforthis]

Wait, can you not go View -> Master Track, then click on master track and press V to show volume lane, and then draw in the automation?

[@IIIWumbo]

CAN YOU CREATE A QUALITY VOCAL FX CHAIN FOR RAP/ SINGING VOCALS

[@BackyardRonin]

hey kenny was wondering if you had any insight to why the js volume adjustment plugin no longer tells you when your clipping and if you had any idea on how to change it back?

[@antonioc-s7753]

👍👍👏👏

[@beatprocess]

Does reaper have chain presets?

[@REAPERMania]

Yes. Search "FX Chains" in my channel.

[@erickdiaz9187]

I can't find the pencil tool in reaper, and I wanted to know if you can help me...

[@RoboRocker69]

Hi Kenny Gioia! ;P

[@Jage_]

I've loved your videos for a long time but your new long cheesy intros are kinda putting me off. I like getting right into the content.

[@Dang...]

Then just skip ahead or fast forward. I enjoy the intros.

[@underwoodvoice9077]

Frankly, I miss the dancing skeletons at the end. Does anyone know where they come from?

[@Dang...]

@@underwoodvoice9077 I like them too!

[@REAPERMania]

@@underwoodvoice9077 Maybe I'll bring them back.

[@Jage_]

@@REAPERMania I still love your videos, and I to miss the spooky scary skeletons 😀
