@bai very useful tutorial. I have questions please. Why does Reaper create an icon that is green wave shape on the desktop straight away after any input? Can we delete this icon or do we keep it? Also how to update Reaper . Many thanks
I have used Logic Pro for over a decade, but was always intrigued by Reaper. This video helped me understand the basics of Reaper in under 15 minutes in a fantastic way. A huge time saver. Thank you for making this!
Fun fact: I've been using FL Studio for the past 2 years, not only sound effect editing, but also for music too! But after watching this video, after using Reaper, for the first time get more familiar with, this is heavily customizable. This would be the perfect idea for me to try them both! Thanks for the tutor! 👏👏👏
I just downloaded Reaper and I was quite overwhelmed at first since I’ve been using garage band for years. This tutorial was so straightforward and simple without any confusing or unnecessary comments and inputs like a lot of other tutorials. I can now confidently say I understand how Reaper works! Thank you!! :)
thank you so much for this truly for beginners video!! i've been searching around for absolute beginner tutorials but every single one of them but this one uses third party plugins or other third party software to demonstrate which is frustrating and confusing for someone who just wants to learn how to use the base DAW. y'all are lifesavers♥
This was helpful, thanks for this guide, I'll be looking more into Reaper. One of the things I like in this tutorial is that not only that it's not too long but also has a timelamps that you can go back into which is helpful.
Thanks a lot. I was just looking for the shift thing you mention in 4:34 and even though im very grateful, I have to say your whole tutorial is very useful
So helpful! I've been looking for an alternative to master my voiceover projects, and this was exactly the guide to get me up and running fast. Thank you!!
One question, I want to record guitar from my amp modeler, which has audio interface function as well. It works fine, but if I try to record my guitar with a drum pattern from the drum computer included in the modeler, the drums don't show in the recording or input indicator of reaper, even though they appear in the output indicator of the modeler. Looked around in the settings, but couldn't find any solution.
Trim is to modulate the given parameter of the track it belong on the timeline on the moment you choose to modulate, you could do it on the track as shown, on a bus, master track, or whatever you want.
Brilliant video! But I need help in something else, which I couldn't find in here. I have installed a few virtual instruments, out of which the Independence (MAGIX), Kontact Kontrol and Kontact 7 (Kontact) these ones are not making any sound through my virtual MIDI keyboard. They are receiving the input I believe, because whenever I press a key a yellow bar lights up. But the red bar doesn't light up, which does when the sound is produced. Any help would be greatly appreciated
It is not a problem of your plugins but on how these sources are connected. You have either muted any chain or not send the source to the channels properly. We suggest to perform a good review on your project environment.
Q: After I render a track as an mp3 and I clean it up post-production, I still hear this subtle hiss or static sound throughout the song and am wondering where in Reaper I would go specifically to remove a very subtle hiss sound? This is music I made is through a daw and midi-controller. No vocals or anything on this. Any help or ideas would be great.
Post production has to made before you render to mp3, if you want to do post production ; export in Wav or any losseless format, once you finished processing the file, you can then export it in MP3 but if you want decent quality file choose MP3 320kbps constant bitrate, other than that the quality is seriously reduced.
That's a really nice tutorial ! But I would appreciate if you'd explain more what plugins are, and each settings in each window. I know this would probably take a lot of time but it would be much clearer...
As far as I could see from the tutorial, it's quite similar to FL Studio (the old Fruity Loops). How does it compare to it in terms of features and compatiblity / stability?
It's one of the most feature rich daws on the market, you can even add community made scripts to add functionality and features that Reaper doesn't have. When it comes to stability, Reaper is probably most rock solid DAW build with most efficient code possible, takes less space than most sample packs and if there's a bug, there will be a fix within few days.
Hi! Made it through 3 mins and when i play sample i uploaded i cant hear it? used the default speakers and everything, my speakers work for other things so im unsure
that was hilarious! thanks for starting my day off right. when I first heard the voice, I checked my clock speed on my interface because I was SURE there was a speed mismatch!
I need help with using the plugins. Every time I try to use the plugin it won't work, the recording duplicates in sound and won't even play the plugin I enabled. Very frustrating to use
Hello, in the recording I made in Reaper, there is no fullness in the sound, it seems like the bass is weak, I get a weak output when I compare it with any song, for example, the guitars are very weak, I am not talking about stereo, the sound is good, but it is obvious that the tone is not as bassy, what should I do about this?
I am not able to hear my tracks or whenever I play my instrument when its hooked up to the track. How come? I'm using my default speakers like in the video, and even tried my computer speakers but I cant hear anything.
This never happened to me before, I have multiple tracks and after I added one last vocal track it sounds moved out of timing when rendered to mp3, anyone had this happened before?
Hello, i can't get Reaper to work with my Presonus audio interface properly... I can get the Presonus connected but if i say something (while not using a microphone) the micorphone from my laptop gets picked up. I tried to disconnect the laptop microphone but Reaper still picks up my voice. I read somewhere that i should change the input settings, but there are no other options than the ones i have set. Anyone has ideas how to solve this?
literally wish i could enjoy the rest of the video but as soon as i get my items in reaper while they play in their own channels, nothing plays in the master channel. Really wish you had covered what the drivers are and the differences and wtf they even do
while recording I hear the the music that I play coming back though the headphones at a lower pitch. When I check the recorded mp3 file it is indeed at a lower pitch and somewhat slower... any Ideas what might be wrong??
Hello!. For me this program is very complicated and I don't understand how to use it! Can you please help me step by step how to slow down a youtube video without altering its range? Also, how do I do this without setting the speaker, microphone, etc. (I don't understand and I don't know what these settings mean)? Thank you!
Just connect your midi piano, update the driver, create new midi device in reaper, arm the midi track and it should work, if not select your midi device in the track routing options
I am yet to get my first daw and pushing towards Reaper, how is this Daw for beginners compared to Ableton. Also wanted to find out what the best Midi controller is for this Daw? Probably a 49 key one, Thanks
Ableton is more focus on live, beatmaking, midi, mixing, modular while Reaper is a engineering paradise (so much things to tweak+script+options everywhere etc) Ableton is far better for making music with midi controller no doubt. On the others hand if you are a customizing freak go for Reaper. The names say it all, Able of Tons, in live, and Reaper where you can Rip everything.
Ok, I have everything working great, however, when I try to record vocals over guitar, from the 1st track , it re-records the guitar part from the 1st track, on the 2nd track? Any ideals?
Wow !!! That was one of the best tutorials I ever seen, thank you.
Thank you very much!!
Yes, absolutely amazing -so much in so little time, but not rushed.

Can I learn from you sir
LOGIC pro is suck in bouch with heavy pluggins, reaper is game changer cuz utilizing all cpu cores
Thank you for subtitles, makes it easier for me to follow along, since I sometimes have difficulty processing speech

After 4 years, finally got the pattern notes, I have made.
Thanks
Wow. Great video. I've been using FL for 10 years. I love some of the features.
Great tutorial!
Great to hear!
Thank you so much for making this video!! Easy to understand and super informative.
great tutorial! I am computer illiterate and recording software is very difficult, I am now actually confident
this is exactly what youtube is for. straight to the point. thank you lotsss!!!!
Thank you for your comment!
Great video. Exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Wow, that was fantastic. Thanks so much!
that was a very useful tutorial!
Glad you think so!
I'm a long-time Cakewalk Sonar user. They are subscription-only as of right now so I am thinking about taking up Reaper. It looks like a great DAW.
Is the license a subscription or a one time purchase? I can't quite tell from the website and purchase page
one time purchase + lifetime updates
i dont know if the narator is an ai or not, but damn, what a voice.
Litterly i was also thinking about that
No AI voice.
Great tutorial, straight to the point, concise and very informative. Thank you for this, I really appreciate it.
Thank you very much!!
I'm a little confused about trim. Does it allow you to add an fx to a certain part of the track without adding it to the entire track?
Yes please answer this question!
Trim is to modulate the given parameter of the track it belong on the timeline on the moment you choose to modulate, you could do it on the track as shown, on a bus, master track, or whatever you want.
Phenomenal work! Thanks so much!
what should i do if i got error if i want to record 3:12
Really good tutorial mate!
Thanks a lot!
Fastest 13 minutes, lol, this is so good
I love when Sam Elliot teaches me how to use online DAW's!
This is good stuff, I love it!
This was precisely what I needed. Thank you

The ReaFIR plugin can do that. Search "ReaFIR noise reduction" on YT.

ngl i watch tuutorials n skip it but this one really soo good thanks for this dudee
Thank you so much!!!
very helpful video i love u
many thanks, its the simple software i ever used...thanks for the work well done
Thank you very much!!!
Thanks, very useful. And Reaper seems cool🎉
Whenever I try and save a project an error occurs saying the audio is not found, what do I do?
I did what it said on how to add effects, but don't hear any effects unless I put them on the master?
I also think it shouldn't take more than 13 minutes to understand the basics of a DAW, so I think I'll give the Reaper a shot

Where can I change playback hardware from reaper
loved you in the OSHA training videos!
that was hilarious! thanks for starting my day off right. when I first heard the voice, I checked my clock speed on my interface because I was SURE there was a speed mismatch!
First I thought it was a person processed to sound like like AI but then I realized it was AI that that sounded very human most of the time
I can't tell if this is a text to speech voice either way it is very soothing
Definitely text to speech.
It is a real human voice.

I was told by a production friend, to go with reaper because pro-tools sucks, I mostly have been slowly learning how to use fruity loops.
That was a great tutorial 🎶
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi there, where did you import the video from, your video files on your PC, or video files in Reaper that have been imported from the PC.?
I am not able to hear my tracks or whenever I play my instrument when its hooked up to the track. How come? I'm using my default speakers like in the video, and even tried my computer speakers but I cant hear anything.
His voice is so amazing!
I recorded two tracks but am only hearing one track on playback?
I really love this tutorial! I just bought a MIDI controller, and had been trying to decide on my DAW of choice. This video really helped!❤
You are welcome!!
AMAZING TUTORIAL!!! I absolutely hated this program, but this reaaaaaally helped
Glad it helped you!!
What microphone are you using?
I have a Chromebook laptop. Is the MIDI controller system not compatible for my computer ?
I have found that sometimes the interface needs to be unplugged and plugged back in if Reaper fails to recognize it after setting up the preferences.
Actually great introduction.
Thank you!!
Great video! Thank you!
I've been using cubase for almost 10 years. Maybe it's time to make the switch.
Cool video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much it will going to be very useful for me

you did a great job sir i appreciate you.

How in the heck do you arm a track? The software keeps telling me this and I can't record until that happens.🤔🥺
