I wish I had set up templates, icons and fx toolbar buttons years ago. Now that I started customizing reaper to such depth, I realize how much more mental clarity I have during mixing and ability to save time.

You are killing it with these latest videos!!!

[@TheREAPERBlog]

[@tommyzai7038]

I am super grateful for the quality of your tutorials . . . thank you!!!

[@TadDoylemusic]

Again, very useful tips and techniques. I have made templates for PT, S1 and REAPER but this video sheds new light on the subject for me. Thanks again Jon!

[@vlad_gur]

[@crypto_bulliever]

[@DominicCraneMusic]

Excellent John. Many thanks for creating this.

[@yellowdudewithedibleshorts]

You're the man Jonh. Great video.

[@JMRSplatt]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, extremely helpful.

Question...if anyone has the answer much appreciated. He says in the description he doesn't have individual kick and snare tracks etc ..he prefers to use saved fx chains....I don't know how this works. I would like to access these individual tracks but is there a way to have them hidden as to not clutter the mixer?

[@AiMR]

Great video bro! I would just add that perhaps you should mute all those folders until you need them? Save some CPU overhead?

[@stuartwrigglesworth9339]

Fantastic video. I will use this thanks very much.

When I move a template to another pc ... 3rd party plugins seem to lose their settings.

[@elmolewis9123]

Nicely laid out.

[@nikonlinevids]

I totally dig your channel and tutorials. Where can I fond the theme you're using here? Thx!

[@TheREAPERBlog]

its a modification of the reaper 6 theme. I made a video about it but I didn't share the theme file

[@tightsoundrecords2981]

Love reaper for that Functionality

[@christianholmstedt8770]

Nice. I'm waiting for the 'Dollar-Shave-Club' sponsored video, followed by SquareSpace.

[@TheREAPERBlog]

you can tell from my face that would have no use for Dollar shave club and I'm a wordpress man.

[@christianholmstedt8770]

Hahaha

[@OrchestralMusicMidJourneyArt]

great vid!! I already have a template, so how would I route to this template? Next video maybe?

[@TadDoylemusic]

Routing Matrix. :)

[@TheREAPERBlog]

just wanted to give you some ideas especially for those that are not using templates yet. I keep my template pretty generic so it works with most projects. Maybe you want to take some of these ideas and add to your template.

[@killergege]

Why saving as track template and not project template ?

[@mark-ze4en]

Not sure if you've done a video on saving tracks as stems separatefrom the entire song or project

[@JoeCocio]

great video. I love learning too!

[@ViktorNova]

Those diffuser panels are awesome, what are those??

[@TheREAPERBlog]

made by Acoustics First, bought used

[@MCAlvesPortugal]

great tutorial.

[@bobholland3810]

Can you combine templates using Reaper? Say I have a drum template and I have a template for everything else. Can I add the drum template or do I need to manually add it piece by piece to the template with everything else?

[@TheREAPERBlog]

if they're track templates you can open both, select all and save as a new template or overwrite an old one. If it's project templates you can open both projects and copy + paste tracks, then save as a new template.

[@odoricocarvalho]

Very good video. Will you give us the chance to download this template? Just dreaming?

[@TheREAPERBlog]

I want you to take the idea and build your own with your favorite plugins and settings. What things do you have to set up ever time you start a mix? What options do you want to have set up from the start?

[@rune288]

How do you add the small sidebar layout to the auto colour window?

[@TheREAPERBlog]

Look through the available layouts for your theme, take note of the exact name Type it into the layout section of the auto color window

[@rhythmjones]

All VSTs are parallel in Reaper due to the mix knob in the VST window.

[@Jellybeantiger]

I love that function in Reaper.

[@irecki1]

Pretty cool!

[@tanatiptanatip5099]

Thanks.
