[@nlokhokajina]

Thank you

[@tpt1don]

I have been using Reaper for the past 13 months and Kenny Gioia is by far the best of the best, with his one of a kind teaching style to help people record, mix and master quality music. I have the highest respect and admiration for his knowledge and wish him only the best! Thank you.

[@REAPERMania]

Thank you

[@joefarrar3917]

Agreed I’ve been using reaper since 2022 and he IS the best!

[@milcone]

Bellissima serie di video, ricca di suggerimenti pratici che non conoscevo. Saluti dall'Italia.

[@amirgedon]

next.. mastering and production finishing.. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@PulseCapital-g6z]

Yes this would be great as a second series to this one... 😊

[@amirgedon]

@@PulseCapital-g6z Absolutely..

[@galelongputt]

Agreed 👍 😊

[@PulseCapital-g6z]

That series was awesome.. just what I needed to start recording.. thank you very much.

[@jarodschmitmeyer780]

Im having my band over this weekend for my first try at recording in reaper. This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time! Thank you!

[@pearlrunga-maclaren8756]

Fantastic! Learning new things all the time from your channel. Really enjoy all your content.

[@777stroke]

Thank you Kenny. I have been using Reaper 7 years and I have learned most of “my tricks” from your videos. This is a great example of return to fundamentals as all musicians must do to keep out chops at our best. And yes as usual, I found new”tricks” to add to my toolbox. Thank you for all that you do for all us Reaper users. You teach us how to be better than we were.

[@REAPERMania]

Thank you

Grande Kenny, sei il numero 1 👌

[@galelongputt]

During the first 3 parts to this lesson I was concerned that the vocals were getting pushed back with each additional instrument track that was added having forgotten that it was just a scratch track. Once you recorded the actual vocal near the end it came through fine! Thanks much, Kenny 😊

[@ocasobass]

Muchas gracias excelente serie

[@WheezyPro]

Please Kenny can you create some FX chains for vocals and mastering... It will be very helpful.

[@JimSajMusic]

A couple things... 1st. You must have a great audio interface, that has zero latency. 2nd. You never have world class musicians, that "get it right" on the first pass. But, as usual...your videos, are super informative...really give people a good starting point, to get them going. Thank you, again...for everything that you do.

[@link-inferno]

Greate work! Keep it up!

[@elnisdjcheco]

I love your channel, good night from New York

[@kayahanli]

Thanks Kenny! Hope you continue these production videos are really helpful and inspiring! I would also appreciate if you can show the fader balance rough mix levels of all instruments and vocals.

[@REAPERMania]

I felt it was a bit beyond these videos. Plus, I balanced a lot of it in the last plugin of each channel so seeing the faders probably won't tell you much. They're mostly all at 0dB.

[@kayahanli]

@@REAPERMania I see. Check out my new song inspired by your previous tutorial using Numa and Sitala. Thanks a lot and best wishes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZbIpaWjgJuMZsUsi=ZoB2PmtARbFaj0Eo

[@ralis]

Fantastic Job on this series! Practical and easy to understand thank you!

[@REAPERMania]

Thank you.

[@davidmontosa4472]

Muy bueno el trabajo, en español y bien explicado!! Una pregunta, no hace ningún buss para la batería, guitarra... etcétera?? Porque? Gracias y feliz y próspero año nuevo!!

[@amphibianaudio]

Thanks for Numa Player showcase

[@michaelschnell5633]

For such kind of recording I would definitively use comping. No mentioning about setting up the headphones ? I certainly would use direct Monitoring in the interface.

[@GertBoers]

Great serie of videos! Thanks for making and sharing! I'm just wondering: why did you record the Vocals twice? (BTW: love the sound of that singer!)

[@REAPERMania]

The first vocal was meant to be a guide scratch track. The last one was the finished vocal.

[@GertBoers]

@@REAPERMania Ah! Thanks for clearing that up. But to me, that scratch track already sounded ridiculous good. 😅

[@REAPERMania]

@@GertBoers It's the same vocal. This is all presented as a "how to do it". Not a real project. Most songs aren't this short. lol

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Spitfire Labs has a great free plugin and with proper recorded violins, , viola, cello's, basses etc

[@ArchimedesWoo]

Do you ever use your A&H ZEDi10fx to multi-track record bands?

[@ArchimedesWoo]

Do I take the heart to mean "yes"?

[@novorec128]

Great song! The readability of the vocals needs to be improved a bit, I think the second track with additional midrange adjustments and compression will help. It's just that the vocalist disappears at some moments, porridge, you can even probably solve it by automating the volume. And the letter "k" in the words should be cleaned up a little so that it doesn't clang in the ears. As well as excellent and simple mixing, and without unnecessary plugins!

[@brianrichards3128]

Kenny Great series, as usual but It has left me extremely confused : with other DAW's that I have used : Protools, Samplitude, Cakewalk, if you insert an effect and record audio, then it is printed to the recording. what i call top down recording. That is, the signal comes from the input the travels DOWN the channel, through the inserts, then to the master bus. Is it that Reaper works in the opposite manner : the audio comes from the input directly to the track then passes UP the channel strip, through the effects then to the master bus? If that's the case, how do you actually print an insert? for example say you've got a vocalist that is all over the place with dynamics and you want to tame them slightly with some lite compression, how do you do that? Thanks

[@REAPERMania]

Other DAWs don't print the effects either. You're just monitoring them to the Master Buss1. The FX are not being recorded. In REAPER, if you do want to print the FX, put them on the Input FX instead.

[@AOTHJan]

What a pretty song! What‘s the name of the artist if I may ask?

[@AOTHJan]

Nevermind. Found her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWHcdmuFqaxjntUsi=3vL56j9XQcvQjODp

[@keks137]

hey, the youtube algorithm seems to really like longer videos nowadays, so you probably should have not split this into parts, idk

[@REAPERMania]

I'm going to re-release this in a few weeks as one long video. Thanks.
