[@jeetray11]

Thank you Boss! I am using Reaper more than a year now. Whatever tricks I know, I learnt all from you! Thank you teacher!

[@BlackCanvasAudio]

I've been using Reaper since 2013 and I swear I learn something NEW every time I watch your videos!!! BRAVO Kenny!!! Thank you

[@they-want-us-divided]

crazy stuff hun? That's why I watch every video he makes on my personal account

[@buaidhnobas1ify]

Thank you, Kenny for your work. I'm on PC Windows 10 and to bring up Options in Reaper is Ctrl P. I wouldn't have known that if I didn't watch you. So, thx again. Now I'm on the right path to learning Reaper.

[@Jojamadams]

Reaper is awesome. We're using 24 in puts without a problem. Thanks for all the great support also. Very happy customers

[@oomingmakroo]

Thank you! That was so incredibly helpful! I've been using Reaper for 2 weeks now and I can't see myself going back to anything else unless a collaborator insists. Reaper lets you customize pretty much everything in your workflow. Thanks for throwing the track color shortcut tip in there!

[@mtscott44]

I'm new to Reaper, (coming from Ardour) and I'm a beginner when it comes to creating music. This tutorial, 4 mins in, is fucking awesome. Thank you!

[@philjames1019]

This series is awesome!! Kenny "GENIUS" Gioia ..... 😎😎

[@mutee333]

The shortcut for Preferences in Windows is not Ctl + , but ctl + P

[@frankknoche9162]

Perfect again Kenny! You help is a lot with your very good Tutorials! 🙏👍

[@toddd.8496]

Thank you! It would be cool if you allowed folks to submit new video ideas to you and then have everyone vote on the what videos they would most like to see. Just an idea...

[@jtjones4727]

I'm pretty much brand new to Reaper. I must say I was quite overwhelmed the first time I loaded up into Reaper, thinking I may never figure out what I'm doing, but these videos have been a huge help in getting a jump start on making some nice quality recordings. Many thanks.

[@Jadevibration]

Midi Overdub is such an amazing feature for drum programming! Thank you Kenny for teaching me this today. I’ve been a “This is Reaper 6” as I am producing my first EP and you’ve been so helpful in that process.

[@dariusmolark6820]

again, excellent, sir. as a senior, though, i am still not too open to 'quantizing', but yet know i have to know its proper methods / procedures. i believe my 'ear' or hearing style appreciates the nuances, even misses of un-quantized music. i want to say such is more 'natural', 'live'.- whatever. much appreciation for your instructional videos.

If you prefer unquantized music, you can quantize then use humanize to add a bit of randomness to the rythmic alignment (and velocity). Or you could choose the amount of quantization (from 0 to 100%, depending on the material), to keep a bit of the original performance (60 to 80% is usually a good amount).

[@crysstoll1191]

Yes you can do as Toko suggests and that will get you at least part way but it will Not put the Parliament Funkadelic grooves to your music. Ha ha i doubt there's anything yet even with ML that will do that. I'm "old" and wasn't exposed to gridded out 4/4 music until i had been involved as a noise maker and serious listener for about 2 decades or so. Tangerine Dream and Berlin style electronic music was my first, then some disco but these still are full out gridded out. When i first heard "psychedic trance" was probably my intro. I didn't like it but strangely i was invited to open a bunch of PT festivals. Should mention, a fantastic crowd of people, much different than any other electronic style of dance music or bands mostly for that matter. Modern sequencers can really push the grid although they certainly don't need to.

[@MCAlvesPortugal]

Although I know how to use midi. I am very grateful for watching these videos.🎸💯

[@paulinamartindelcampo3985]

your way of explaining things is soooo clear, thank you :)

[@georgerudinsky489]

I am pretty new to this, and I have to say thank you so much mate, so much work you put into it, unreal.

[@OtterLakeFlutes]

This is the only guy I have notifications on

[@southsideronnie]

Thanks Kenny!!

[@theimprovisedgarden7999]

No idea there was a virtual midi keyboard in Reaper, this series is a godsend

[@crysstoll1191]

Ha ha, yeah, it took me a bit to find it (way before this video) one day when i didn't have a controller connected. Love Reaper but i do get why some people don't (option overload).

[@PodaProject]

Thank you!

[@JGvdFamT]

Many many thx!!!! I am absolut beginner and I learn so much from your videos... ( hope my English is okay) Thanks for sharing.

[@ADDLOOPS1]

Thanks very much for another great video!

[@reaperdetoi7210]

[@MontieAdams]

[@gaudinni]

Thanks! 🎇🧨✨

[@brax2574]

Amazing videos thanks!

[@monty5066]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[@user-iv6kd9ob1r]

If I use my MIDI-keyboard, connected with MIDI-input of my sound card (Steinberg), I should use "USB MIDI keyboard" as setting or smth else? And some vst (SWAM as example) didn't work with virtual midi keyboard. Maybe I do smth wrong? Make a video about midi vst connection, pls.

[@notrhythm]

love the skeleton dance in the end

[@jmaikisch]

Can you do another 80's Freestyle edit video but more in depth. Please

[@TheOleHermit]

Thanks, Kenny! This ole dog just learned some useful new tricks. 😎

[@danpianoprogress]

What if I want to plug my piano directly in my laptop usb, and from there play in reaper, is this possible ?

[@rofinatheirin9929]

Crap...I just downloaded Reaper (v7.09) yesterday, and it looks so different to this for some reason. I'm doing my best to follow along, though I can't seem to get the midi keyboard to actually do anything (I don't have a usb one, so I'm using the virtual keyboard). I'll press the keys, and no sound appears. I'll edit this if I figure it out.

[@Frankenstudio-cy6zn]

I have a problem when I playback My vocal track, it triggers my outboard Boss Dr, Rythym 808 to start playing as well.. I cant figure out why? Win 7, Xeon X5680, any help would be appreciated..

[@superrookie-1]

I use a MIDI cable to connect my keyboard, but there is no sound

[@renecuevas4128]

I m here in 2024 after 6 months trying to pay for my license 60 doll but how u do it?????? Also i m stuck in dropping the plucked synt in my windown

[@CleanTheWookie]

Amazing video series, thank you Kenny! I had a quick MIDI question though: I bought a few VSTs/Sample Packs, and one of them was strings: I pulled in a oneshot of a cello into ReaSamplOmatic5000, and the length was about 6.8 seconds for one note. I figured out how to trim the note played, but when I select "Note (Semitone shifted)", the pitch changes and sounds fine, but the length of each note that I play is either extended or increased depending on whether I choose a lower or higher note from the original. (example: regular note is 6.8 seconds, but playing a whole step down is 7.4 seconds, and playing a whole step up is 6.2 seconds) Is there a way to address that? Is it because it's a midi sample pack and it doesn't work the same as typical effects? (sorry new to MIDI).

[@joecrowe7062]

maybe trying sound edit the sample and shorten it before you drop it in which you can do with reaper sound editor i could be wrong but make a new sample file all together

[@samirbhaju3392]

wah wah super tutorial tq sir

[@bobj8186]

Does anyone else experience the audio dropping from time to time while watching Reaper or other videos on KZbin? I will have to pause and backup slightly and then resume watching. Or is this a iOS problem on my AppleTV? I have the latest AppleTV and software is current.

[@mrblablablabla]

Hi Kenny, I want Reaper to control external midi devices, but my midi output devices aren't being recognised by Reaper (they don't show up at all in the midi output device list in preferences). They are recognised by other software just fine. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[@benox50]

How do you rectangle select the notes in this ?

[@estharoe]

Good evening, how do I glue notes together- so to be larger in length -in midi editor? My best!

[@christianokpoko4433]

i am using windows 11, i tried dragging plucked synth into resamplomatic5000 but its not working. stuck on this step. nice videos btw

[@Eren-tj6ql]

Hey, I had the same problem in win10. You need to extract the folder after downloading it. Then try again - it should work now

[@coreyroberts47]

Yo, I try recording with my ekit this way but the hits are all over the place timing wise (not my playing). Anyone know why?

[@marlaplunk2833]

If only there weren't ten thousand million different steps to take just to get Reaper to play MIDI. I've used Cakewalk (their old stuff) as MIDI editors, and it's by FAR simpler to use. Right now, I am trying to edit a MIDI I found on the internet but cannot for the life of me get the sounds to change. I want to change a synth brass sound to a trumpet and nope. Nothing I do works. I've created new tracks that have a trumpet sound assigned to it, but to make matter worse, opening up the piano roll only plays a "piano" sound on the keyboard on the left. If I copy and paste the events from the synth brass track into the new "trumpet" track, the notes are still synth brass, and the piano roll piano plays a piano sound. -__- Pulling my hair out.

[@afreen5058]

This video sucks, there's no mention of the MIDI events not being read by the controller even if you can play and hear sound, it doesn't register as saved MIDI events on the piano roll

[@helmanfrow]

Second!

[@OmnipotentSag]

Ok, so I'm quantizing my beats and they are still horrible. What I play is not what comes out. 😔😒😮‍💨
