Set Up to Mix Quickly in REAPER

[@dbmdrums1105]

Man...is Kenny upping his game! Haven't checked out the newer videos for a very...... long time . Good stuff brother ! Looking at Kennys videos feels like we are in a "Reaper Afterlife !"

[@dncrystal]

Thanks Kenny, lots of good info here

[@abdulmutaal9849]

please create a mixing series on this channel too as you always come up with something new. Like the one you did on groove 3. Also if you could make a video series on producing pop music in reaper. That would be great. Please consider my comment. :D

[@nealpage5732]

THIS THIS THIS.

[@manuelfrontana7216]

Great info, right to the point. Thanks

[@madhavraibatra4338]

You're such a legend man. Thanks for all your work :")

[@JoeJohnston-taskboy]

This is fantastic. Really helpful to see how you approach FX setups for mixing.

[@jackstanton1091]

Brilliant as always

[@BTHECROWN1]

Great video

[@dominatusonido]

Nice! I may start using the Routing Matrix more often!

[@GaryNorthants]

Cool tips Kenny, many thanks

[@johannessens6018]

Yeah! Nice Video

[@StamatisKekes]

Hey Kenny got many missing elements from this video regarding my workflow ... many thanks for sharing this one

[@DavidSmith-ne1zp]

Every Kenny video teaches me a lot about this great DAW!

[@robhouse1926]

Thanks Kenny!

Thank you Kenny! Usefull as usual.

From Turkey hi, good intro.

[@joeheukerott9186]

Great stuff! Thanks very much.

[@petergedd9330]

Thanks Kenny, another great tut. Reaper really is the Boss, I dont know any other that will take stuff without stuffing the cpu.

[@leoeole6194]

This is great. First video I watched from you and in 10 minutes I already learnt a lot of usefull stuff.

[@lolilollolilol7773]

I would recommend to use the default plugins for the default effects chain because they are very CPU efficient. Putting CPU heavy plugins in default effects chain will bog down your PC because each new track has instances of these plugins. Also better stick to your favorite plugins, as adding many different plugins will significantly increase the loading time of the project.

[@sammythebull116]

Reaper handle big 3th party plugins like a boss!!💪 I can load big plugin 80x in reaper and many headroom left, the same plugin loaded in cubase 20x its game over 3th party plugins sounding much better as stock plugins no matter what daw you use

[@lolilollolilol7773]

@@sammythebull116 "3th party plugins sounding much better as stock plugins no matter what daw you use" That's objectively and subjectively false in many situations, unless you want to add some sort of distortion, in which case you can (and probably should) use a separate plugin for that. The stock EQ and compressor will do fine for most real world correction situations. Dan Worrall has made many videos on the subject on his channel and the Fabfilter channel. You should watch them. The 3rd party plugins have a use for adding a character to the sound. But if all you want is correct the audio (which should be your first mixing step and is what the FX chain should be for), the stock plugins can do the job perfectly.

[@sammythebull116]

@@lolilollolilol7773 i try this many times Boosting the same freq in expensive equalizers give a smooter bigger warmer sound The same ratio and so on give also the same bigger better warmer sound Boosting 4db 40hz on fabfilter nothing happened Boosting 40hz on a maag eq my studio is bouncing And so on and so on

[@wannenburgwannenburg3695]

@@sammythebull116 Of course using character EQs will sound different to using a purely digital EQ. Maag EQ is for super broad tone shaping but it wouldn't be appropriate for most EQ uses

[@sammythebull116]

@@wannenburgwannenburg3695 try elysia, psp audio, acoustica eq for example and listen and feel the difference to stock plugins There is much of a difference

[@BobErnstGuitar]

Great video!

[@tfmc3389]

Kenny. Any interest in doing a quick vid using Ueberschall Elastik with Reaper? you can get the player and the factory pack for free. Something like just a setup and recording audio as well as midi from the program into Reaper. Just curious. Thanx again for all you do for us.

[@jackstanton2771]

Phenomenal! Thanks, Kenny

[@ALFREDsurfer08]

Very nice and quick way, it seems. Thanks! But I cannot help worrying that this would be using a lot of unnecessary RAM right from the start? Even though this way of preparing is nice, would it not be degrading performance very quickly if you are working with a lot of tracks on a computer that is not so powerful?

[@REAPERMania]

Mostly negligible depending on your computer and the plugins you choose. The REAPER ones take up almost nothing.

[@electricwhiterabbit]

You can also set them up in offline mode so that when you need then, just put them online and you won't have to worry about the plugins taking up so much cpu power.

[@relaxingsongs5098]

Make a new full song please

[@holmesoffice5231]

So useful! Thanks

[@BopsStudios]

very cool Kenny

[@MahatmaLevolence]

Why is it that i used to be able to record templates for other band members using cubase sx but i can't even figure out how to open the drum page to write the drums in reaper after well over a year? Everything is super-vague and in techie speak i don't comprehend.

[@nikhillekhra]

Thankyou very much Kenny sir 🌻🌻

[@salsaman]

I think I missed something - how do you set up the FX returns so they seng back to the same track they received from ?

[@pintonmusicrd]

Perfect Kenny, thaaanks!

[@FeritNecib]

Hi kenny why mono sends? We will be happy to see how you setup your templates too

[@REAPERMania]

With stereo sends, anything panned to one side will only have FX on that one side. With the mono send, you'll get both.

[@FeritNecib]

@@REAPERMania thank you very much

[@MrOmeyer]

Very helpful video tutorals.

[@compoundaudio]

Thank u bud :) always learning from your content :)

It is!

[@SeanSullivan6119]

Very, *very* cool!

[@deskypoo]

Superb, thanks. Slightly disappointed not to hear the song being mixed 😄

[@pennypawsrescue]

thanks for great video. Is there any way to create project template folders?

[@smalexn]

Supeerrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bmwheatley16]

Are there any concerns with CPU usage by adding the FX chain and sends to every track or is it negligible?

[@REAPERMania]

Mostly negligible depending on your computer and the plugins you choose. The REAPER ones take up almost nothing.

[@lolilollolilol7773]

I would recommend to use the default plugins for the default effects chain because they are very CPU efficient. Putting CPU heavy plugins in default effects chain will bog down your PC because each new track has instances of these plugins. For example, don't put TDR Nova in a default FX chain. Use it only where necessary. Also better stick to your favorite plugins, as adding many different plugins will significantly increase the loading time of the project.

[@electricwhiterabbit]

With heavy cpu ones, you can put them in offline state in your default so that they don't use any cpu until you put them in online state when you need them.

[@AHEAD7]

Kenny please tell what is the music used in intro it's very nice i wanna listen the entire music?

[@REAPERMania]

Thanks alot kenny i have learnt so many things from you, you can check my learnings by listening to the beat i made with reaper in this channel please rate it so i can understand i am doing good or not.

[@checkmatenate]

what do you think about the new MAC STUDIO!? it looks like a super beefed up mac mini!

[@lolilollolilol7773]

Yes it's a monster computer. I think the large majority of people don't need such a monster. If you are careful about the plugins you use (don't use heavy plugins in a default FX chain !), you can work on a fairly light computer with REAPER. I've been working with a 9 year old I7-4770 based PC and everything is fine. I don't work on very large projects with hundreds of tracks, but most people don't. If most of your projects are less than say 50 tracks, you are fine with an average PC, I'd say. OTOH, if you routinely work on 200 tracks orchestral stuff, then that's where you need this sort of power.

[@checkmatenate]

@@lolilollolilol7773 ty finally someone who knows about stock plugins! I have a 2012 late Mac mini but I need to upgrade to use the thunder bolt connectivity for my Apollo x8 audio interface.

[@REAPERMania]

Yeah. I'm probably going to grab one. I was hoping it would be a bit smaller (like the mini) but it seems like a nice speed boost.

[@REAPERMania]

@@checkmatenate The current Mac Mini is a huge upgrade for what you're using now.

[@checkmatenate]

@@REAPERMania yeah, I think I’m gonna go with the m1 Mac mini 16gb Ram and 512gb storage for about $1k. I have a power house AMD pc for everything else like videos editing, 2D, 3D animation, gaming and streaming. So I just need the Mac mini just for mixing and analog summing with the universal Apollo gear. And if I need to use some intensive VST’s and I can just buy them on my windows PC and send the stems to my Mac mini for mixing. Thank You Mr. G! You da real mvp

[@lucaslopes4271]

Such great content man! Thanks a lot!

[@mihkeljurima1007]

Can you tell me how would i create a macro to create a bus for selected tracks that is renamed, colored and has the parent output disabled? All with one macro.

[@cashsounds3704]

Good video, but what’s the shortcut to select all tracks?

[@cashsounds3704]

And is there a shortcut to turn off all effects?

[@REAPERMania]

Control + A on PC or Command + A on Mac. I figured that was univeral enough to computing in general not to mention it.
