Recording Your First Vocal Track in REAPER

[@michaelc7207]

Appreciate all you do for the Reaper community Kenny.

[@davidwilcox5655]

The best tutorials by far . Simple ,no frills , no ego , fantastic 👍

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Totally agree. Easy to follow (important for me...lol) and it covers all the basic stuff. Great video.

[@JeremyJamessMusic]

You have NO idea how helpful this was for me. Sometimes it's just difficult getting your foot in the door when it comes to learning a new DAW. This definitely was a nice introduction to Reaper, and I'm super excited about all the gear I bought now. Thanks dude!

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Agreed. I'm in the same situation as you and these basic tutorials are just perfect.

[@AirRedbox]

I’ve been sitting on Shure SM7B because I simply haven’t learned all the ins and outs of this kind of stuff. I just need to bite the bullet and do it so I can work on my passion lol

[@youpeopl_music3220]

...a whole new world (for my self-recorded vox)! Thanks, Kenny!

[@ShanMichaelEscasio]

I just completed my poor man's studio setup with my first audio interface (presonus audiobox go) and just got an xlr to xlr mic cable. So now i am watching this to try some vocals. Hehe

[@RiverwoodOfficial]

Welcome back Kenny , glad to hear again from you😊 Hope you are safe

[@FedeOttalagano]

Kenny The Reaper is back!

[@iamjohnbose0408]

So good to hear your voice.....its been a while.....love your work and I hope you are safe.....god bless you Kenny 😊💜

[@aronjoy23]

You are a straight up LEGEND Kenny!

[@correametal]

Is there someone on this planet that can explain things as simple but as efficiently at the same time as Kenny Gioia? Nope, there no other! Thank you so much Kenny for all the light you bring to us regarding this DAW, the majestic Reaper....best DAW ever in a league of its own!!!

[@droidfan]

There's no way I would have dared, at my old age, to enter the amazing world of home recording without Kenny's help. I will be eternally grateful!

[@giammona94]

Just wanna say thank you for all of the videos that you put out. I'm currently working on my own channel and I wouldn't be able to put out the content that I do if it wasn't for you! Thank you for all that you do!

[@bobwilliams8867]

True beginners guide, no assumptions. Brilliant.

[@DJ-ew8fd]

Exactly what I needed and so much more. Thank you so much for making this!!

[@landofahhs_1]

Thank you so much for taking the time to cover this subject in such slow and deliberate detail. As a beginner this video has finally made sense of all the poor edits, quick clicks, and mumbled words of the vast majority of Reaper demo and explanation videos on youtube. Bravo!

[@nagaland5]

Thankyou Kenny. Been a reaper user for 2 years and all thanks to this channel. Love from India.

[@DonBernhard]

Please note, on a PC with ASIO driver, if you have an interface with multiple inputs, you'll need to be sure to select the "first" and "last" inputs to include the input(s) you plan to use. If you do not, and it's not selected by default (it may not be), then you will not find your input when setting up your track. (Visible on video at 1:53)

[@GhostsOfJenova]

I pretty much owe my entire producing career to this man. I'd be lost without his videos.

[@daveyslatts7137]

I love how no bs and easy to follow all these vids are. I've learned so much, thank you!

[@JuanMariaSolare]

It is always a pleasure to listen to this guy. Great teaching skills, great Engish, every word is understandable, and every step.

[@REAPERMania]

So nice of you to say. :)

[@tomblack4437]

Outstanding-I am pretty versed in Logic and Pro Tools but a friend asked me to help him record a 30 piece female choir. He uses Reaper. This is great. thank you.

[@therandomcravingztv8613]

Best tutorial video i’ve watched so far. Not so fast and not so slow, you will really understand everything! Thank you!!!

[@carolinastringband]

Like others have mentioned, appreciate the guidance and the well thought out method you use! Thnx!

[@donmathis6202]

Great how to video. Answered many questions.

[@maestro2033]

Thank you for all you do for the Reaper community. I’m new to reaper

[@sbuceeh]

Awesome video! Easy to follow! Thank you!

[@bubkasaurus]

Always appreciate your clear, concise and detailed videos. Thank you Kenny on behalf of a grateful Reaper community, of which I am proudly one 🙂

[@nameisemery5292]

I know all of this info, but you explain this so well and help so many people with your videos, including me in the past. Thanks so much for what you do for new people to be able to express themselves

[@slimewave6]

these tutorials are what sold me on reaper these have to be best tutorials ever

[@hansmillie2264]

This video was really helpful, you r just the best in teaching 😊. Thank you 🙏. Subscribed already.

[@gliterott]

I used reaper when I was just beginning, like 4 years back Might fall in love with it again, after so much experience with other DAWs

[@MalindaDee]

Thanks so much! I have been searching all day for a solution to why I kept hearing feedback through my headset yet not through my recordings. Turns out it was simply me not selecting with a checkmark the latency value of which I’ve changed to 128 as per your recommendation. And that did the trick! Thanks again.

[@The_Rockstar05]

Really good and clear tutotial...❤Thank you buddy..

[@mearkitek3773]

Such a great refresher... all in one video...THANKS!

[@Owenator26]

I don't know why but 3:56 I spat out my coffee laughing the singing came out of nowhere lol

[@MikeGgeetar]

Thank you Kenny, you have taught me a hell of a lot.

[@bobbyt9999]

Another fantastic video... as usual!!! Thanks Kenny

[@mjc01]

Some audio interfaces have direct monitoring which means that latency doesn't matter - provided you don't play back as you record and you don't mind a completely dry monitor sound. And why would you?

[@letsplayharmonica]

Congratulations, Kenny! Could you do another tutorial showing how to record an acoustic guitar track?

[@REAPERMania]

Not very different. Point the vocal mic at the acoustic guitar and skip all the effects.

[@stevev9030]

This is a great video! Thanks for simplifying this for me! I'm recording vocals for the first time today, and you just taught me how to set it up exactly how I want! Thanks again! Will be checking out more of your stuff

[@OnlineRadioSchool]

Cheers big man! I'm just moving over to Reaper after 20 years on Adobe Audition. I opened it up and went erm... lol! And subbed!

[@musiquefrancois274]

Very good tutorial! Congrats and thank you 👍

[@AdamJStoryDC]

With the evaluation license (first 60 days) are you not allowed to save the recording as a file and use it (say on KZbin)? Is there a method to save a track and use that file within the first 60 days? Like an MP3 file.

[@JacksonRogeroficial]

Such amazing tutorial and yet so simple!!!!

[@eileenyoung5211]

Wffgdc What does it sound like if my feelings look like oh

[@eileenyoung5211]

Oh no

[@vintageheels]

I cannot hear myself, it‘s so frustrating, pls someone help me, I‘ve been trying to fix this issue for weeks and I can‘t do it

[@breakopen7514]

@@vintageheels Turn record monitoring on for the track

[@pedrolucasmsc]

[@jongtagaloguin420]

My voice was sound like an angel after watching you're video seriously . Thank you

[@professorarmando]

[@KrittySunderBaglary]

Thank you so much for teaching me. God bless you.

[@ricktowers-hn8rd]

Vocals sound good in reaper for sure I'm excited to begin using it thanks

[@Shauncat1]

You are amazing Bro. I'm using reaper for my drum covers and enjoy learning Alot from you

[@galudy9251]

OMG. How experienced you are. Thanks for sharing with us you knowledge

[@samraffertymusic]

So grateful for these videos :) Thank you Kenny

[@credenza1]

Always useful. I am about to get back into Reaper, so this has come exactly on time.

[@cultshakere]

how would you preceed, when the vocals are recorded? would you keep the FX on and just stick to tuning and de essing ? or would you delete these effects, and start all over when the time came for actual mixing? are these fx and settings only a guide for when recording? they sound good and i would assume they'd fit in a mix, ofcourse only if the rest of the instruments were properly recorded and mixed aswell. hope you can answer these questions, have a nice day.

[@DJSuPreme7]

Thank you so much! This is the best tutorial and is gonna help me really get started with recording professionally! God Bless

[@ashchan30]

This is THE MOST INTUITIVE VIDEO IVE EVER SEEN> THANKYOU!! I was about to drop this awesome app because i didnt know how to work it. I sound awesome!! thanks!!

[@DenisMorissetteJFK]

Finally a Reaper video where I can understand everything... Question: How do I make the Db meter appear in the track?

[@jmontgo87]

Hey Kenny. I was hoping you could make a video on how to fly hooks/chorus. Or copy and paste hooks/chorus while keeping them in time. Thanks for the vids.

[@widepootis]

Really easy to follow along, lots of useful tips along the way! Thank you!

[@lorenvguitar614]

Thank you for a great video

[@Setha107]

Thank you everything you do with these. very clear and concise.

[@ShaggyCrew87]

Excellent. Thanks . very good short ant to the point

[@hozozco]

When I see forum questions on which DAW to use, I point people to your channel and they choose Reaper.

[@YourFriendlyGApilot]

Great video! I do have a question: how do you optimize volumes for the singer (say in a booth)? Is adjusting track volumes the only option if they want to hear more of their voice in the monitor compared to the track?

[@REAPERMania]

It's the most sensible one.

[@akirafujiwara9390]

thanks so much for your professional tutorials

[@marko.ur.groovin]

This videos are perfect brotha!! Thank you.

[@sunnycj1352]

Can I buy you a ☕️, Kenny? I never liked the (slow) pace of a tutorial more - ever, really! Incredible thänx 4 that! I'm getting my groove on with Reaper now. Lotsa love from Berlin 🙏🏼

[@amandajstar]

Fantastic: An instructor using a Mac and a Scarlett. Brilliant, that's what I've got!

[@tmftt9087]

Beginner basics. Thanks Kenny.

[@rossmclauchlan5014]

Just what i needed to fine tune vocal recordings..thank you :)

[@Josemendezpiano]

Thank you Kenny for your videos, so useful. Excellent content.

[@crickella]

So simple, thank you Kenny!

[@jimransom86]

Just what I was looking for, tremendously helpful! Thank you!

[@rjammi]

Very clear explanation...excellent!

[@serruchin113]

Thank you, teacher

[@Shubhankarnikhil29]

Very good video..Thanks 🎉

[@ram__ghanem]

Hello Kenny! Would you kindly list for me the videos needed for me to watch on how to operate REAPER for VOICE OVER ACTORS only? I would much appreciate it ! There are many videos on the website that kinda got me lost, and I want to get straight forward to understanding on how to use the software for V/O work only! I came here from the BOOTH JUNKIE! So thank you so much for your time and effort into explaining everything about reaper ! You are a legend!

[@deepakmehtani1378]

Thanks for such a wonderful and informative video. I have been following the same but in my case the Recording track, when armed with recording shows level meter moving UP and Down, while the Karoke Track is being played which is not in your case. End result is the out put of the recording contains both Vocals and poor recording of Karoke track. I even tried configuring Recording as Output and then selecting No input but in this case the signal from Mic is not shown in the level meter. Pls help me configuring so that when I play Karoke track, it should not be recorded in Recording track. Only the recording track should be recored with Vocals from Input Mic. Thanks

[@jeibercolon-marquez8435]

Kenny, you're the best!

[@kevinravno8513]

Thanks Kenny, appreciate your videos

[@jakedemetrius_official]

I have a problem. I sing into the mic and it doesnt end up recording anything and just shows a bunch of dots on a line

[@JOHNNYwxw]

Make sure that you select your audio card as the recording input !

[@Netzerland]

Like the way you explain things. Thx

[@pakfumejia6951]

Holy shit! This is so helpful! thank you kenny! I hope you make a more advanced version of this! Thank you so much!

[@JUSTRICKY01]

Amazing Tutorial. Hope you're teaching somewhere. You're Great!
