Nice. Quick tip: damp your strings with a cloth or scrunchy at the nut but also I damp then with a cloth right by the bridge. This cuts down on glitches and still sustains long enough in most cases.
There is an awesome plugin called Chordz that you guys might find useful - same concept but you can customize the chords, and a bunch of other extra things.
Wow, I have learned so freakin much from you! This little technique is another super useful tool in my bag of tricks that is curtesey of Mr. Kenny Gioia! Thank you!
This is an incredible and simple feature that in other daws take too many steps and kills the mood of composing. I can't believe that is so simple now. Thank you!
Before a few days ago i knew nothing but the basics now...wow, after watching a few Kenny video's. I've just fallen in love with reaper all over again.
Interesting approach and quite advanced for a 'free' DAW. Hint: turn the input volume of your audio interface to a minimum to avoid that every slight touch on a string results into a note. I found that it works better if you just record the audio and not as midi because long guitar notes will show up as short notes in the midi file, while it sounds fine if you record just the audio. The "window size" setting in ReaTune is also interesting to tamper with, it can influence the sensitivity or latency (I think).
Mind blowing! All this time I've been recording my GR-55 guitar synth for pads. This method may make it easier when I just need to record quick pads. Thanks Kenny.
Up to date, you have created great videos. Now, it is becoming wonderful: the masterpiece of an instrument you manage to build here, simply with a guitar and stock plugins is incredible!
I always struggle with strings and bass tracking on vsti's, we can create whole strings arrangements now, one at a time, being so bad at keyboards, nice idea thanks!
There's a better way to turn off the sound of the guitar... Just alt-click on the routing button to turn off the master/parent send. That way it takes input and it sends the MIDI to other tracks, but it doesn't send audio to the master channel.
I don't quite understand the step with moving the FX to the input. I can record the MIDI output without doing that step. I just leave it on the normal FX insert. Where is the difference? :)
Kenny have you ever tried Midi Guitar from Jam Origin? I've been looking for a way to do what it does with Reaper plugins or free plugins, this is pretty close.
Hi Kenny just a quick question here, is 16 GB of ram enough if i want to use a few vst and about 30 tracks? Mainly video game music close to cinematic score?
Im trying to use a cello plug in with this and although it works... it sounds absolutely terrible. thinking maybe i should get a midi keyboard? any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated
Hello. I would like to know if you can do guitar strumming in midi files to use in my styles that a create in cubase, to put in my korg pa4x. Can you help me? Thanks
How about exporting midi files with vst synth sounds you've assigned? Every time i export my midi it doesn't have a synth sounds, is that possible? I only use audio interface , ezkeys and ezdrummer
Can anyone help me with why he put the first 3 plugins on the input vs all 4, or leaving them all where they were? Was it so he could change the instrument later? And once its recorded, you could just remove the firat 3 plugins, right? In just trying to understand why do what he did. Thanks!
Well, shoot! I'm disappointed. I thought there was a way to play a song on the guitar and have it come out in midi. Turns out, it's only playing one note at a time on guitar, right?
Question, why are you speaking in these broken robotic phrases. People can comprehend just fine if you speak normal. And if that is normal for you... my apologies.
I don't regret at all chosing Reaper above all other DAWs. Thank for the tutorial.
Nobody ever does
We got the goat system, and nobody even knows about it. More for us.
You constantly blow my mind with these videos. Thanks Kenny!
One of the best Christopher Walken impressions I've ever heard
Nice. Quick tip: damp your strings with a cloth or scrunchy at the nut but also I damp then with a cloth right by the bridge. This cuts down on glitches and still sustains long enough in most cases.
@Sir Argle Can it really be that simple I'll definitely try it. Im using midi guitar 2 by the way.
I feel like I owe Kenny so much now, most of what I've learned is from him. Thanks Kenny.
There is an awesome plugin called Chordz that you guys might find useful - same concept but you can customize the chords, and a bunch of other extra things.
I had this on my download list forever and completely forgot about it. Thank you.
Thanks for the tip, but Chordz is Windows only. Ripchord and Tonespace are somewhat similar, but work on both Mac and WIndows.
Scott Rankin good to know, thanks.
You are an awesome teacher, Kenny. I hope you hear this often enough man. You deserve it, to say the least.
Wow, I have learned so freakin much from you! This little technique is another super useful tool in my bag of tricks that is curtesey of Mr. Kenny Gioia! Thank you!
So nice taking lessons from Forest Whitaker...

Excellent video. Super cool. Thanks for sharing!
Reaper is incredible. I am a newbie and it impresses me so far. Thanks for the tuts fella.

Kenny, you are truly a master with Reaper. You are appreciated very much! I always look forward to your videos and love what I learn!
Thanks Kenny Gioia you are the best and reaper too!
Thank you Kenny! Amazing stuff
I never thought that it would work this way! Thank you, Kenny!
You make the best videos. I have been watching them for years and I don’t know what I’d do without them. Continued thanks to you!
Thanks Kenny God bless you,you are a genius 🙏
Sure learnt something new here, great content! Thanks 👍😎
Up to date, you have created great videos. Now, it is becoming wonderful: the masterpiece of an instrument you manage to build here, simply with a guitar and stock plugins is incredible!
Awesome
Thank you for this!!!! Guitar is my main instrument, it helped my production process a lot!!! Keep up the good work!
Buddy my head exploded!!! You're an absolute genius!!! Wow!!!! Thanks a lot!!!
Amazing!
your tutorials are premium , i am on reaper since v3.thanks
I guess we can use it for bass tracking without midi keyboards. Love it!
I always struggle with strings and bass tracking on vsti's, we can create whole strings arrangements now, one at a time, being so bad at keyboards, nice idea thanks!
Mindblowing! You're the best Kenny!
Thank Kenny, yes I did learn something ;-)
thanks kenny 💖
Kenny eres el mejor ... Muchas gracias mi hermano
Finally someone that explains it clearly and right to the point. Thanks for the tips!!
So cool!
It's an amazing tool. Thanks Kenny
This is awesome
I just ordered a midi keyboard and I only now discover that I could've used my guitar all along lol.
There's a better way to turn off the sound of the guitar... Just alt-click on the routing button to turn off the master/parent send. That way it takes input and it sends the MIDI to other tracks, but it doesn't send audio to the master channel.
I wouldn't say it's "better" because it does require using two channels. But it's another way.
This is mind-blowing!
Very cool. Very clever.
That was incredible! I didn’t know that that was possible! Thanks!
Fantastic video
amazing ,amazing and amazing.
This is a game changer for me
This is an extremely helpful video for someone like me who only plays guitar. Thank you.
wow i didnt know that.. so i can play drum with my guitar too..thank you
well..... MINDBLOWING!!!
Thank you Bro, awesome lesson
Could not get Reatune to appear with the latest version of Reaper, so I installed version 6 and it was there. Success
thank you!
Might be a good idea to put ReaGate before ReaTune and adjust to set the sensitivity of the guitar/ukelele.
Freakin’ awesome!
Thanks Kenny
wow!!! thank you very much!!!
WOW!
Oh my god. This is sick
Omg 😱 dis is awesome.
wow... i learned somthing new =) thanks
Awesome!
Top!
thank you............very much.............for...........information
Mr. Toot is happy, he no longer needs that fancy MIDI toot
That's one classy song 😁
thanks!
I don't quite understand the step with moving the FX to the input. I can record the MIDI output without doing that step. I just leave it on the normal FX insert. Where is the difference? :)
@4:16 Forever young !!!
Good call. LOL
Value!
Kenny have you ever tried Midi Guitar from Jam Origin? I've been looking for a way to do what it does with Reaper plugins or free plugins, this is pretty close.
Great tutorial thanks, but what if my key changes during the song
So if I understood correctly, when playing the chords, you're physically only playing a single note, correct?
Thats right!
Hi Kenny just a quick question here, is 16 GB of ram enough if i want to use a few vst and about 30 tracks? Mainly video game music close to cinematic score?
It is yes! (as long as it is not old RAM, meaning older than 6 years or so)
Im trying to use a cello plug in with this and although it works... it sounds absolutely terrible. thinking maybe i should get a midi keyboard? any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated
Following step by step no midi chord key tho only ReaControlMIDI . Help ?
Hi! Thanks for the video. Is it possible to convert the chords that you've recorded this way into a notation? Eg. transfer it to Guitar Pro? Thnx.
I need this but I don't have that midi chord plugin.
Nice - I'm a lousy keyboard player, so using my guitar as a MIDI controller is a great option!
Bypassing audio with EQ pins, genius! 1:40
This is useful for video fades too.
Hello. I would like to know if you can do guitar strumming in midi files to use in my styles that a create in cubase, to put in my korg pa4x. Can you help me? Thanks
Unfortunately false triggering is extremely high in Reatune
How about exporting midi files with vst synth sounds you've assigned? Every time i export my midi it doesn't have a synth sounds, is that possible? I only use audio interface , ezkeys and ezdrummer
Wow.
I tried bass sim plugin midi it didn't work
Can anyone help me with why he put the first 3 plugins on the input vs all 4, or leaving them all where they were? Was it so he could change the instrument later? And once its recorded, you could just remove the firat 3 plugins, right? In just trying to understand why do what he did. Thanks!
Does it work with bass guitar playing with vst??
Are there any buffer errors or ms delays?? I know it would drive me nuts if it was like.... .3 ms off lol
is there any way to record chords you are playing on your guiter (polyphonic audio to midi?)
Zach Christensen Yeah I think it's called midi guitar 2 by jam origin.
@@jamesmurphy8676 yea ive just been looking into this and im downloading the free trial now, fingers crossed
Zach Christensen any luck?
You don't need any instrument necessarily - it works also with a mic and your voice...
cant we just keep the JS : MIDI chord in key in the normal fx chain and get the same result ?????
how recoring two guitars one clean and the other whit distorsión at same time
Must by the best DAW ever.
...pronto reaper desbancará a todo el resto de los Daws.... esto es genial...
How cool is that! Could be useful if you know how to use it in a musical way.
f******* awesome :))))
Your tutorials are great dude, thank you, Lord Jesus Christ is the creator of earth and ecstasy consciousness ,
nice hack!
Well, shoot! I'm disappointed. I thought there was a way to play a song on the guitar and have it come out in midi. Turns out, it's only playing one note at a time on guitar, right?
Yes. I think you'd need a special guitar for that.
Question, why are you speaking in these broken robotic phrases. People can comprehend just fine if you speak normal. And if that is normal for you... my apologies.
Nah this doesn't work. The latency is horrible and every little noise you make with the guitar, get detected as a note. Not useful at all.
Life changing tip, but uh.
Please... please stop talking like that.
Thank you, again.
