Pro tip: If you have a midi controller with drum pads, tap the one you want and then double-click the note-start and voilá, it's assigned to that pad! (What Kenny shows at 11:08).

[@Furiac.]

super helpful because pressing down keys makes it feels delayed vs tapping the pads

Kenny is a brilliant teacher. I do this professionally for almost 20 years but I still come here to enjoy his way of explaining things. As for Reaper, maybe not a DAW for everyone, but one of the most complete DAWs out there.

Really good presentation, Kenny. I was looking to move on from Audacity (which I've used for 10 years) and your video convinced me. When you pushed the Q button on the synth track I was sold on Reaper. Thanks!

[@rayphenicie7344]

Very good coverage of the topic; I've been looking all afternoon so I could start step recording, no luck so far, this is the best I could find. I know everybody wants to know all about drum kits and synths but some of us never use those. Instead, we use orchestral sound libraries from Spitfire or Vienna Symphonic Library. Sometimes the information in videos like this does not carry over too well. Anyone writing getting started stuff for us Symphonists?

4:33 - If you're running this on Linux, dragging the plucked synth sample into the wave sample window doesn't work. You can still do this! Instead, just use the [Browse...] button you see in that row of buttons under the wave sample window and navigate to where the sample file is in your file system.

Great video!!! Could you maybe do a video on extended MIDI use, like using external controllers for automation of the Reaper sampler (MIDI learn and assigning CC) or any of the Reaper plug-ins that would be MIDI controllable. Is it possible to sync Reaper to an external MIDI clock? Thank you for providing this highly informative video you are truly a skilled teacher!

If you need keyboard re-maping In Windows 10 use the "Options -> Show Reaper resource path in Explorer/ finder" to determine the correct folder to put "reaper-vkbmap.txt" in the right place

[@pablo_costas]

is there a way to copy paste a beat automatically ? Something like "place a snare on every 2 and 4 beats of a bar along this time selection" without having to record ? Or the best way is write 1 bar and later drag the end of the item for as many bars as you want to repeat it ?

Does anyone have any suggestions for finding a MIDI device if it doesn't show up on the list? Refreshing the list doesn't help. The MIDI device is a Roland EM-303 and it wants the DAW to "listen" on channel 4, but I don't know how to make that happen.

Im also using an Arturia keylab ii, but i cant get mine to load into Reaper, I cna operate both programs independent of each other, but not together. I have followed all of the steps on your channel and theirs, no luck. when i get to my input to record, the device is not there. in fact the usual four options become five options and they are different.

[@NHail]

awesome how you can view the notes as they appear on the midi item in real time. is it possible to view them within the piano roll as they appear, so that you can see them appear in color? i think ableton does that, but doesn't have the colors like reaper

[@sillypsybin]

Hmmm...... Why am I not finding the CTRL + , shortcut to Preferences in Reaper 6.52? That sure would be handy, but it's not here by default as far as I can tell. And if I try to map it in actions, I get a message that says that key combination is mapped to 'nudge left edge left'. Guess I'll have to try another mapping.

Ok, so I've imported a midi song from the web. I used Media Explorer to create six individual tracks. I can see the midi notes.

BUT, I can't figure it out. I've spent hours on this. i have viewed videos, etc. etc. and Kenny does a great job. But, I have found no instructions on HOW to add virtual instruments to EXISTING MIDI tracks. any help from the community here or Kenny would be most helpful. Thank you.

[@MrDannyDeluxe]

In Cubase you can copy the individual midi-notes by holding down ctrl button and just drag & drop it, which makes it really fast to create drumbeats. Can you do that somehow in Reaper?

[@MrDblStop]

The closest to that I've found is to highlight a group of notes by right click and drag to select, then ctrl and double tap to lift and drag out a copy of that group and place it wherever you want it. (I know this answer is 10 months on but someone might find it useful.) Or Reaper can automatically extend your entire track by repeatedly pasting it in if you grab the end of the item and drag it out. E.g. a 12 bar track can be dragged out to 36 bars to make two more verses, each the same as the first twelve bars. I'm writing this out in simple terms because that's the way I need to read things about Reaper!

[@grontilonti]

The one thing missing for me is a "stretch" feature for the sample (eg in Reasamplomatic) so that the pitch-shifted sample maintains the original duration. Is there any way to get that in Reaper?

You can adjust the pan inside the RS5K sampler plugin if you don't want to pan the whole track.

So you have to use a separate instance of Samplematic5000 for every different sound?
