I was literally wondering how this was possible two days ago! Also about unlinking the loop/edit timeline selection. I was worried the Pro Tools had the edge for a second. Been using Reaper 11 years and learning every day. Great tutorial as always!
@@TheREAPERBlog I was just asking the same thing in a Video Myk had posted, but i wasn´t able to find the answer there. But i linked your video in my comment there! Hope this´ll help some other folks, too. Greetings from Germany
Thanks for the options and taking time to share the available techniques! The first I use. I do hope Reaper adds the Pre-roll feature in Loop Recording in a update… imagine trying to track 20+ Vocal lines and having to stop to make these settings for each line…. I use to record complete passes but have found I can nail the phrasing and pitch better by digging in on each line by simply loop recording several passes. The ability to create a quick time selection between lyrical markers and start recording immediately from the vocal mic would be much more efficient than having to manually create preroll loop points for each line. I say thus in hope that Reaper is watching 🤓
I really like the first method. I've been working around this by recording on different tracks then trimming/dragging the parts I want into the main tracks. It works, and I think for a single track is fine, but it can get messy with multiple tracks. More than once someone has click/sneeze/dragged an item onto the wrong track. Thanks for this Jon!
Thank you Jon for solving a problem that's bugged me for ages. There really should be an option or action for "Pre-Roll before punch-in on every repeat", and I thought I was being dumb for never being able to find it.
Thank you 🎉🎉whew!..I’m new to Reaper so I’ve been going in circles to figure out how to punch in with a small lead in time! Subscribed & I will keep learning the ropes! This is exactly what kind of straight forward walkthroughs I’ve been looking for. Keep up the good work man thank you so much 🎉🎉
Thanks again John, Another thing I didn't know REAPER could do. I could have used it for a vocalist situation a couple years back... next time it will be easier. : ^)
Thanks for the tutorial. When I first started using Reaper, I thought it was weird that there wasn't a count in before every take when loop recording after selecting "Count-in before recording". (Literally, thought the program was broken, and still do.) That pause/count-in, in my opinion, is necessary to reset one's brain or think of a better way to play w/e one is playing.
This is exactly how I worked in Cubase 5 (yes I've been using Cubase 5 for almost 15 years now), except that I had to manually delete the pre-roll from each take by dragging the take to the start of the section I actually wanted to record.
How would you loop a selection but have the recording continue past the loop for one long continuous take? Some of my drum fills and ideas last longer than the looped selection. Ive resorted to copying and pasting the looped selection over and over to act as a loop. Any info greatly appreciated.
This is not exactly what I was looking for, I wanted something like we have into this loop guitar pedals, to record one lane then when it starts looping it plays what I've just played and let me record (or not) a new lane to complement what I was playing, this is for live performances + recording.
Man thanks for this video learned alot from you. I have a question how to use the pan feature in midi editor. I have used Kontact .. Komplete Kontrol,, Sample Tank but none of them can pan with the options in the midi editor. Do you know of a way to use this or a video that you have or can do to show a way to use the pan in the midi editor.
I killed an hour trying to figure this out. Finding it pretty tricky even with scripting and AI assistance. It seems possible but not as easily as I first thought.

Very well explained, thanks a lot!

This video deserves a billion views !!!!!
Thanks for this great video. Very informative, as usual.
Super helpful, thank you! :)

How do i record from start of loop. Lets say the play head is halfway through the bar but i want to punch in at the start of loop again.
Can you do a video explaining metadata for independent artists? Like how I do that using reaper
I don' t manage to do section of loop and a section of punch as you did

Try Super8 plugin

pan in the MIDI editor doesn't always pan the audio output of the plugin
I'll take a look and see if I can make sense of it
@@TheREAPERBlog thank you its driving me crazy ..lol.. thanks for the response
how about OTR2 for reaper?
Until now I didn't even know loop and time selection can be separate.
is it possible to record a set amount of time in a loop? like record 4 times and stop automatically?
I killed an hour trying to figure this out. Finding it pretty tricky even with scripting and AI assistance.
It seems possible but not as easily as I first thought.
@ Wow thank you so much! I just want to remove the hassle of deleting that last take that is basically me reaching for keyboard to stop recording.
@@abteenz oh well there is a setting to automatically delete an incomplete take in loop record.
@@TheREAPERBlog you are the best! Subscribed!
Lol no way dude. Time selection and loop points were different all this time?
God, I hate Reaper. So annoying and user unfriendly. God bless Ableton. I am going to uninstall Reaper, right now.
Peace be with you.
