Those of us who are a little older and started out with 4 track recorders really appreciate the time you take to explain thoroughly how synth and seq work. I don't understand why so many think this is complicated. I'm grateful for this free knowledge.

I was sitting here thinking "well, I mostly make metal and progressive music, when will I ever really need to sequence a synth like this?" And then you went and applied the gate to a guitar track and it sounds badass. Your videos never cease to amaze me, thanks for this excellent tip!

Thanks for the video. I suppose one could take it further and have a library of different patterns and be able to switch interactively during the composition, like assigning the switch to some buttons on your midi controller. Or even use a dedicated part of the keyboard keys for this. This would then give it a more organic feel.

It is a very intuitive video again. Many thanks Keny. However, I am still wondering and quite puzzled about the kick and hihat sounds in this video? Where are they coming from? Are they on a separate track or triggered by the VST plugin? Can anyone tell me please?
@marshallrhut6 жыл бұрын
I suppose the kick/hats are there for pedagogical reasons ... 🤔

Hi All, I am having some trouble when trying to trigger an audio track with the sequence. I followed the steps from start through finish of the video. I have the sequencer track sends triggering the side chained gate on a track with clips of audio "sequenced" together without gap from the beginning of the track. In playback, I hear only the samples playing through as they would if not being triggered. However, I can see the gate effect being triggered from the sequencer source on the audio track, bouncing around to the trigger hits, but the output audio is just like track playback. Has anyone else had this issue/have a suggestion? Many thanks all, and thanks Kenny for such an amazing plethora of Reaper video content!

Awesome video as usual, very useful and well explained for beginners like me :D I think I have a problem related to this, maybe your wisdom can help me. I use a plugin called TRK-01 in reaktor as a plug-in in reaper, this virtual instrument creates rhythms (kick and bass) based on my project tempo as a continuos loop but when I want to record a sequence it doesn't make any midi map in the track, it appears a blank midi zone I can render to a wav file which I use later to make the entire song but I think it has to be easier to work with and I'm probably doing it the wrong way. Thank you so much, teacher!

I'd like to do something similar but sort of opposite. I want to record step-wise a midi sequence, a chord progression or solo to a midi track. Then for the performance I would play any note at all (or a split range or channel) and that would trigger the next note in the sequence. I could play the whole solo with 1 key(or probably 2 or 3 for fluidity). Is that something Reaper can do?

@sandyharvey84396 жыл бұрын
Hi, how can I do this, but targeting an external synh. So insted of processing audio, it should be midi out. Perhaps a sort of midi gate, or choke. Bye, thanks for any ideas.

OK, metronome is ON, but where are the kick & closed HH coming from?

He's quite obviously playing them from another track to enhance the demonstration. Their origin is not important to this video.

I asked on behalf of new Reaper users who are just starting to grasp look/feel/operation. To them, it's perhaps not obvious there's a drum track in this project, but out of view.

Is there a way to make the sequence longer? Trying this out right now and I can only get half the pattern I'm hoping for.
@REAPERMania6 жыл бұрын
Yes. If you look at the options on the top, you can make it longer. Best option is to go to the area on the left where you can see the note letters and shift-click that. That will double the size for you.

I can follow your instructions and it works... anyway I feel like painting by numbers. I am a musician not a programmer or a "controlerist". To complicate for a musican who want to play his instrument and record it, just to "have an idea" and realice it by a simple logical thinking is not possible in Reaper is to complicate (and ugly with this windows 95 look). Not for me ... I give up. No time for reading list of actions, and kilometers long Settings, etc.

It's totally worth it to learn how to do all this stuff. What do you really have to lose? Every day you spend learning tricks with recording will make you a better artist. This guys videos are incredibly useful and have helped me learn how to do all kinds of cool stuff in Reaper.

Hmmm You did not understand my point. The videos are very good and Kenny make a great job, and I like to learn new things... My problem is actually conceptual in nature about Reaper. It makes no sense to learn new things that you forgot how to do it just a few days later. Other things you never forget, cause you "see" it as logical steps and not as a "procedure".
@JackstandJohnny6 жыл бұрын
This is just so far divorced from organic artistic creation of music. Its computer programming with audio as the byproduct. I cant imagine creating music and art like this. Its just so laborious and tedious and thats coming from someone who uses hardware drum machines, synths and samplers along with guitar, live drums etc.

Realistically if you learn how to do this it might take you an hour at most, and then you can save the gates and presets like he showed you in this video. Then moving forward, you're literally 1 minute of work away from turning any guitar, vocal or synth track into a crazy stutter effect. I think this is an excellent trick to have up your sleeve.
