This this one of my favorite features of reaper. I hate making headphone mixes.
What an amazing deep dive into Reaper. I hope this gets seen by folks wanting to create a silent band rehearsal mix, this could save them a lot of money.
That is cool. I recently made headphone mixes but did it manually. I didn’t know about that particular SWS extension. Very quick and great option. Very helpful video!
This is so useful! My clients are gonna think i'm super fancy now lol
GREAT job! Loved it❤
This is just what I was looking for.
Thank you
Thanks for the info. But the problem is I can't remotely mix the master. Options are all monitor mix. Master mix is not one of the options. Hope there's a way to mix both master and monitor remotely.
I got everything ready to work, but if I solo something that’s routed to the cuebuss it solos it on the headphone mix, so it seems like the solo defeat isn’t working

Is it possible to use my phone to monitor the VU meter, or any plugin? That would be useful to me!
Wow!
Great way of doing this! Thank you Adam
Awesome video Adam! Have you found any latency issues with this? This is so cool!
There's no audio going through that web application, it's just remote controlling the REAPER mixer, so there's no added latency and for this application, that latency for the controls themselves doesn't matter.
Does anyone know if remote controlling the panning for each element sin the headphones mix is possible with this setup?
How did you route the reverb? Are you sending all tracks to reverb and treat the reverb as a bus? are you applying master send to all the tracks including reverb? great video!!
This is so freaking cool
great video man!!!!
Awesome!!
what kind of audio interface/mixer should i use for this kind of situation live ?
Any interface with more then 2 outputs, since output 1/2 is used as the master/monitor bus. Example, I use a Tascam Us16x8 interface, it has 8 line outputs. 1/2 is taken so that leaves me output 3 to 8 to make 3 stereo headphone mixes. Remember, you need 3 stereo headphone amplifiers for those 3 mixes.
Can you pan your tracks in your headphone mix without affecting the main mix?
You can. When you double click the send in Reaper, a small menu opens up which gives you a slider for volume and another one for pan, so you can have independent pan in your headphones but it looks like this has to be done in Reaper, I don’t see a way of doing this on the web interface
In fact in Reaper, if you click the route button on the headphone channel it will bring up a menu with all the tracks routed to it and you can set levels and pan for the headphone mix in one place
Can this be used to create a virtual control surface on your phone/tablet for mixing?
If you know HTML, CSS etc... Yes.
Easier would be to use OSC and any of the various and available software that allow you to create custom OSC control sets.
So, is this usable for a live gig?
Use reaper to create bus mixes for the band instead of a dedicated mixer for inears?
I tried this at rehearsal last weekend. It worked well! Everyone was able to make their own mix to how they like it without me having to do everything from the desk.
Yes, everyone gets to create their own mixes!
Very cool Kurt! Thanks for sharing!
Great video and explanation, thank you! Would a headphone amp / distribution like the Behringer Powerplay allow each musician to control their own mix using this method? Or does each of the cue busses require a different output channel?
In other words, if Output 5/6 were sent to a Behringer Powerplay Pro 8, would each headphone plugged into the Powerplay have the ability to control instrument volumes?
Since no one has answered, (you've prob figured it out already, but) No, a single stereo pair output to a headphone amp only yields a single mix. You will need a separate stereo pair sent to separate headphone amp channels to have separate headphone mixes. :^)
This method can create the same thing as a Powerplay without the powerplay hardware. You'd need an audio interface with as many outputs as you want discreet headphone mixes and a headphone distribution amp. I'm thinking a Focusrite scarlett 18i20 and a Presonus HP60 might do the job for up to 5 discrete headphone outputs.
wouldn't it be great if you could listen to the mix via your phone. but i know latency would be the issue.
Does everyone have to be logged into the studio wifi in order to access that URL feature or can this be used with a router that isn't connected to the Internet just the router like if it was a behringer xr18?
Yes, but the computer running reaper needs to be connected to that router aswell. Like a xr18 with multiple tablets ;-)
@@hondbanjer I actually tried it with the router not connected to the web and it doesn't load. As soon as I have an Internet connection it connects perfectly.
