Thanks for this video Mr Kenny. I would like you to make a video about Reainsert and how to use it correctly in real time when using external equipment, thanks.
Another related thing that would be great to see is the workflow you use to do a mastering session. I'm completely sold to Reaper by now but one of the things I miss from "Studio One" is the ability to easily switch between a mastering session, back to a song mix (to tweak something) and then bounce the song back into the mastering session and keep going. I'm interested in the approach/workflow you take when mastering a full album. And thanks again for saving all our asses with Reaper, you're truly the best out there.
Idk, if this helps but you can insert a Reaper (mixing) project into your mastering project as an item and master it that way with the ability to edit the items contents (mixing project) whenever it's needed.
@@ErickPaquin yeah, in my 6 years with reaper i've found out that the general rulenof thumb is: if you need it, it can be done in Reaper, if not immediately, just wait for a few updates. :) ....also the community and support is amazing.
I wish I'd watched this before I sent my mix to Dittomusic! I had blank time in front and no extra time at the end. I didn't see any LUFS settings in your video, another thing I didn't set - just used the default -20dB. When I rendered again at -14dB it sounded better. Live and learn. Really great videos!
Great video (as always)! Could you please do a video explaining what all the render settings for video mean? I can't find any information about them anywhere. Thanks!
Hi Kenny. Over the past few weeks, I have seen requests for help about a rendered mix sounding different than the master out. I can only think of two things. Monitor FX plugins and plugins that have different settings for quality and oversampling for online/offline functionality. Do you know of any other variables? Different dither processing perhaps? Thanks, Danny.
Rendering to lossy formats like mp3 or to sample rates different than the one set in the project can result in the rendered file not sounding the same as in the session.
any way to set “time selection” as the default for any new reaper project as opposed to whole project? never in my ten years+ of using reaper have i ever wanted to render what reaper considers the “whole project”
If I'm outputting a 48k wav as my primary render, how would I output a dithered mp3 as a secondary? Reaper seems to only give you the option to dither both or dither neither. Seems like I'd have to render the 48k wav first then go back, check the "dither master" box, then render a 320k mp3?
Great video, very informative! I'm a beginner producer and is struggling with exporting with Reaper. How did you manage to get the volume of the render the same as in Reaper? I cannot seem to get this working, and I've seen countless of people having the same problem. Basically Reaper lowers the volume to half of the original. I have tried solutions listed by other people in the countless threads regarding this problem, but it has not been solved or maybe I don't understand it. When playing the track in Reaper, the volume is perfect. I use a brand new RME Babyface Pro FS to record direct input. What am I doing wrong? I have my master volume fader on 0 dB. My tracks have optimal volume peaks in Reaper. The track volumes are set to default. If I were to push the volume up, the tracks would clip. Something weird happens when rendering, and this destroys my music. It is not something to fix in the mastering stage, it should not work this way :(
Thanks for video ! Very often, after rendering, at the beginning of the master mix audio file, I hear the echo of the last sound of the project. It seems that the echo of the last sound is saved in the buffer and is transferred to the beginning of the project during rendering. The only thing that helps me is repeatedly pressing the STOP button before the rendering process(5-6 times) and then I wait 3-5 sec, only after that the mix renders with silence at the beginning. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I think it should be the same, The "Tail" feature is nice for "Regions" though. Because if you want to render one region, you don't want to change the boundaries just for the render.
Same question from a "beginner". I'm learning Kenny's videos are the best out here but surprised a lot of great questions are asked but not answered by the "experienced/knowledgeable" community. From what I've heard in another tutorial, it levels the volume out. To me that sounds like a limiter plug-in. It seems 2 boxes to check that do the same thing, defined and explained separately leads me to believe they were unsure what they do as well.
You can also use “=START” and “=END” markers to define the render start and end position for the “entire project” selection.
Nice!!
There is no way to don´t know how to use Reaper with a paciente and very good teacher ... Thanks for all the tips that give us for free...
Appreciated
esse cara é um DEUS
@@inglesfluente2693 Podes crer que sim ... Dá uma ajuda do Cacete para o pessoal .
Kenny, thank for all you do for us who want to learn to be better at using REAPER as well as learning to be better engineers. Tnx
Never knew about the Primary & Secondary output formats options - thanks Kenny for always highlighting these little gems !
Always informative. I've been a Reaper user for ten years, and still learned something new. Thanks again Kenny.
Kenny, thank you for all you do. Thank you for teaching me the tools I needed to make my mixes come alive.
Thanks for this video Mr Kenny.

Thank you for your great training videos
This is way better than the one you did 5 years ago, and that was good. This one is better. bravo!
I like using an empty item to make a tail
I do exactly the same. Or I disable the loop mode on any item and then I lengthen it to taste to have a tail.

Use 2 tabs? Then you can have both projects open and easily move stuff around
Mike Kay thats how i do it. works beautifully for me
the single thumbs down was from Kenny’s jealous ex GF.
King Kenny kills it again!!!
many thanks for the lesson
Very useful! Thanks Kenny!
That was incredibly helpful, Kenny. Thanks.
Great video Kenny; some very useful tips in there. I am saving this video for future reference and recall :-)

Didn’t know about META DATA #THANKS
Always learning from u CHAMP
Very good tutorial!
Yo, bro give us a reaper structured course from beginning till end in the form of song. Different genre. I'd pay for that
gracias Kenny!!!
Very helpful thank you....
Hi Kenny, how do you get Reaper's VuMeter in your preview window?
Video editing. LOL
@@REAPERMania haha , i was nearly sure about this, but i tried to keep faith it could be done for real ^^
lol, I came here from the reaper website to get the same answer!
Great video (as always)! Could you please do a video explaining what all the render settings for video mean? I can't find any information about them anywhere. Thanks!
Nice, I hadn't noticed the preset feature yet.
Ya man...
You can also highlight all and drag it to the beginning!
ohh shit this is the 911 for MUSIC life :)
Those transients were making the OCD in me scream for a compressor
it's EDM, which transients are mostly about kick and snare.
Thank you Kenny!

Look up loud max plugin and get it... brings up your master levels

Same problem
I get the same problem when using Izotope Trash or a few other complex plug-ins. If I add a small time gap before that track it seems to fix it.
how do you get reaper metering in preview is the OS?
What's the difference between using the "tail" feature (let's say for 4 seconds) and simply extending your time selection by 4 seconds?
I think it should be the same, The "Tail" feature is nice for "Regions" though. Because if you want to render one region, you don't want to change the boundaries just for the render.
@@REAPERMania Thanks Kenny, makes sense. BTW been listening to the old episodes of "Mix Notes From Hell", great show.
