[@AttamanKing]

Hey Bro, back in the good old days ham?! 😅 You was my professor in the Beatmaking learning process since nobody in that time was making beats in Reaper, just a few here and there and I was determine to make it happen so gotta thank you bro!!! Sure that this one will help alot more Reaper user's to level up in the best daw in the world (At least in my opinion)...Cya!!!

I've decided to refresh my old "Ultimate Guide to Reaper Beat Making" that was recorded over 2 years ago, so here it is! Feel free to ask your questions in the comments or if you feel that you need some more help don't hesitate and hit me up on a 1 on 1 lesson: wodzubeats.com/product/1-on-1-session-with-wodzu-1-hour/ If you have any problems downloading the template via my website use this link instead: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/y42e2s8nn7cb2fsdecxrd/h?rlkey=k9btsw83yltkhzurbkrnv3nmi&dl=0

@@jasonk125 it's great but it's a synth and doesn't provide any real world instruments based on samples

[@reapertips_plus]

Yes YES YES!!! That template is SO WELL THOUGHT OUT! 🤩 amazing video, wodzu!

[@WodzuBeats]

that means a lot, especially from you, man!

[@AndyWritings]

Wow, I just learned so many things that I've been searching for. Wonderful tutorial, thanks! I can't wait to try out this template.

[@504Biz]

@WodzuBeats The Problem the first timers are having is that your config file has your midi settings included in it, your Mk3 and Audio interface for example, and when they initially install your config and Reaper restarts, it gives an error message that those devices aren't found. So the quick solution is to re-save the config without your Midi and USB interface set up and or configured. basically the same config with default midi and audio settings. But I appreciate your work and Thanks for Looking Out for the Community!!!!

[@jayayyee]

How do you re-save the config file WITHOUT ASIO audio? I can get everything to run, but when i go into the Sitala drum bus, i cannot hear anything, no audio what so ever. i tried changing the audio system from ASIO to WaveOut and exported my config file, then re-opened Reaper with the "newly saved" config file, but still cannot get any sound from this. Am i missing something?

[@worldwideally]

If you could provide me with any info on how I can go about doing that I'd be very grateful!

You Are Blessed 🙏 Thanks for all the Reaper teaching content, so helpful !!!

[@nilespeshay1734]

Awesome video! I've been waiting for more "beatmakers" get into Reaper. (To whom it may concern: you can just drag/drop any drums sound into Sitala. You can also use Sitala as a proper 'sampler', in place of Reasamplomatic, if you so choose.)

[@jimmythebold589]

i play guitar and piano fluently with mastery of chords, but i respect computer musicians who deal with the interface to find the chordal and melodic sounds they love, it's kinda harder than actually playing instruments, and a craft, in its own, which is very enjoyable, in a different way than playing music. both skills are recommended, especially for opposing camps musically or philosophically. for me, products like instachord or scale/chord function in ableton or chord gun in reaper or cthulhu or captain plugs in and on and on are exciting tools for anyone who understands music theory! the possibilities they offer are mind boggling and endless and fun

[@HalfBakedBeats]

[@KyroStlouis]

tried to import the config file but I'm just getting an error message is it compatible with iMac?

[@SixActStructure]

Love the channel. Love the idea. But I don't have nearly enough Reaper knowledge to fix all the error messages installing this template presents. I'll revisit it once I know more.

[@WodzuBeats]

Hey! What errors do you see?

[@SixActStructure]

@@WodzuBeats Thanks for reaching out! I reset to factory default, but they were something along the lines of ASIO and Mk3 not available errors. A previous commenter said to resave the config with my own MIDI and USB interface settings. I messed around with it, but it kept defaulting to the settings in your template on relaunch.

[@ry9785]

Any update on how to fix this?

[@jimmythebold589]

i use ableton, but reaper has helped me through window-less times. it's sooo fast and stable and limitless, compared to my $100 version of ableton 10. thanks!! +

[@mchammer655]

Good work sir!!

[@cornbrains]

Sorry, total noob trying to follow along. I cannot import the template due to an error from Reaper. "There was an error opening the audio hardware: No ASIO drivers The following MIDI inputs could not be opened: Maschine MK3 Ctrl MIDI" EDIT: After switching the audio device from ASIO to WASAPI and marking Maschine MK3 Ctrl MIDI "not present" I can actually open the template with no errors. But now the Sitala bus will not make any sounds or events when inside the project created from the template. Any ideas?

Just what I was looking for! Thank you so much! Just a little problem, I've tried to download Baby Comeback, subscribed to the newsletter and all, it says my links will arrive in my inbox but they just don't, do you know any other place where I can get that plug-in? Or any other (prefferably free) plug-in that does the same thing? EDIT: Solved! They finally arrived after like an hour (instead of the original 5 minutes) Cheers!

Would love to make a video if needed.

[@Dolore_band]

If you have a interface make sure the drivers are up to date and that the audio is going through it.

I figured all of this out on my own. This is def for the novice user. This is not even half the battle. REAPER can do more, too. Mucho mas more.

[@WodzuBeats]

Congrats, but if you took a little more time to investigate you'd know, that since 2020 I've made over 90 videos strictly about Reaper's features or just showed how I'm working on beats in Reaper. This one was made to get people started. If I'd put ALL my knowledge and known features that would be useful when making beats in Reaper this vid would be a 5+ hour course.
