I really appreciate this guide! I am a beginner when it comes to music making and as someone who tends to open a DAW, stare at it for 20 seconds and then give up, you really make the process of making music feel more approachable by suggesting a sort of process for creating a track. I also really appreciate that you at times mess up in the loop recording (on purpose or not) to then show the glueing feature and the possibility of recording multiple takes! Great video!
@@rogerrinkavage Basically, using the Renoise sequencer inside Reaper with any midi controller will do. (Reaper and Renoise working in tandem laying the bars and, sequences down with timelines and, transport controls in sync).
Wow, dude. Where so many tutorials would be a 10 minute video to cover one concept with ads, ad-reads, etc..., you've put them all into one comprehensive video with absolute gems of knowledge sprinkled in. The psuedomaster bus and reverb bus tips seem like real gamechangers. Just need to figure out the best way to fit Maschine into this workflow cause I lowkey hate the default of it, but love its organization. Can't wait to watch more of your stuff, thanks a ton.
This the best Reaper Beat making guide by far dude, you are really thorough in your explanations, and you really give basically everything you need to start making your own beats in one video, thank you so much and have a great day ✌
Dope tutorial but just a piece of advise: when it comes to a tutorial for total beginners, you should probably stick with the default UI even if you prefer a different one, because to a noob they look totally different and it's quite confusing
Bro you're a life saver. I've been using reaper for a month and Ican barely use it because I've changed from Logic Pro. Thank you for that theme for reaper.
I just wanted something to watch while eating dinner. BUT There's a load of Valuable Info in this, even if Beats aren't your final goal. Excellent choice of the AIR synths for Free/Low Budget 'VSTi's, well underrated instruments.
Wow! After having learned many basic tuts from Reaper Mania, who are also highly recommended, everything comes together in a real practical way with this ultimate beat making guide. Great work man! Love it!
I watched many videos about FL Studio and MPC Beats Software and tried to work on them, but I found them somewhat complicated. But Reaper seems simpler to me! I haven't tried it yet, but from watching the video it seems simpler!
I was kinda worried if it's not just "orientalism" which sees all the eastern cultures as "Asian" and doesn't recognize particular ones, but everyone with a little humor will be chill 😜 Ta da da da dun dun dan dan dun 🎹
I usually do in MIDI is take the overdub function on so it can re-record the midi. Also by choosing one recording, press ctrl+l to let the window disappear.
Resamplomatic can run more than 1 sample at a time. If you click on the sample name (on the far left with the checkbox), you can copy/paste (control C, Control V) and set a different sample to that. You just need to change the Note Start/Note End of each sample to correspond with what the sound mapped to (depends on your midi controller). Reaper Mania has a good tutorial on this. It allows you to play all the drums at once. However I do like having each sample on a separate track. If you put multiple samples on one track, you can always explode them out to separate tracks later via midi channel.
Excellent Tutorial. I'm considering moving from cakewalk to reaper so needed to know about drums. This is so above my head, I'm now happy Reaper can cope with my simple drumming demands. Thanks for this knowledgeable Video.
the big advantage of using reverb with sends is that you basically simulate how real multiple instruments would play in the same room and the combined sound would bounce around, as opposed to having individual reverb on each track (which would be like having each instrument play in its own room, alone, and then combine all the recordings). the verb bus is a much more natural way of hearing reverb :)
Awesome tutorial, timestamps and all. It's about time someone who uses reaper can provide in depth and comprehensive tutorial about beatmaking in the DAW.
Thank you so much for this. I'v been using FL Studio for producing for quite a long time and Reaper for everything else, as tracking, mixing and editing in FL is trash to say the least, it's only superior for sampling and midi editing to be honest. So I decided that it would be much better to just do everything in Reaper and your video was just super helpful. Thanks
I needed this!!! I love Reaper, its my go to DAW, I wanna get better with beats but to be honest im not into learning FL or Ableton... So this is super interesting. Thanks
This was my first video when I came across your channel a few months ago. It really has helped me a lot with Reaper and inspire me to make my own tutorials.
I use Reaper and man this was a great tutorial. I learned a couple of things too - like dragging the route button of the kick to the bass track (for side-chaining) - I was doing it manually before. Great job, dude - great pace (for me, anyway) and great explanations.
Downloading reaper right now. Been an FL user for a while, but I’ve been looking for a place where the Mixing aspect was more like Logic and Pro Tools, but I could still make my beats on windows. Can’t wait To hop in
Reaper is my everyday tool for mixing commercial projects and it never disappointed me - it can handle enormous amounts of plugins without a hassle, but the fact you can pretty easily make beats in in makes it even more interesting 😀 Making beats in FL or Ableton may be a better and more easy to understand, but afterall I prefer to pay for one DAW and get it covered 😎
@@WodzuBeats glad you responded because I’m watching your other tutorial about sitala and I’m wondering can I use my computer keyboard as midi for sitala? I don’t have access to my actual midi controller right now
This is great, I've been watching videos on how to make beats on FL Studio the most, but I use Reaper and this is going to be a nice guide. I'm coming back to this video very often, thank you very much for this!!!
In place of the Pseudo-Master, I usually add a trim plugin as my first plugin on the master track. Actually I usually just throw ReaEQ on there and use the level control to adjust level into my Master track plugins. Saves a few second on routing each channel as you create it, lol. The Pseudo-Master does have some benefits, like routing to FX tracks perhaps? Thanks for the video man!
Air plugins are SO under-rated, especially Xpand! Probably used in more chart topping hits that any others since they shipped with PT back when nearly all big studios used it... They also have native support in Akai VIP, which allows you to search/scroll through presets of all the different synths, as if they were one... Great video btw, thanks for sharing!
Can't agree with them being underrated - those are one of the most affordable and popular plugins as you said 😀 I've been using xpand and hybrid as my main sound sources for the first few years of my electronic music production and I'll recommend them every time someone wants to start their music adventure. Cheers 👊
bro i have to say thank you very much for making this in depth video i thought you forgot about it lol i might have to re watch this one a few times for it to sink in
Masz tą listę pluginow, dłuższą niż litania😄 Poważnie, to muszę wyrobić nawyk oznaczania ścieżek jakkolwiek - dopiero teraz zauważyłem, że jest czytelniej👍 W sumie to zwięzły, konkretny materiał, jak praktycznie do.tego podejść.
Thanks for the kind words! I just dropped a new, shorter video about making beats in Reaper and included a Reaper Beat Making template in it (free). Welcome on the channel 😎
I just made a drum rack under a drum bus using samplomatic for kick and snare and hihat etc. Then saved it as a template. I also make midi and save it so when I need to make a beat I can load in a template with like 4 clicks
I'm really glad to hear that! If you want to learn more please feel free to join my recently created Reaper Producers group (link in the pinned comment and descirption)

Thanks for the effort man, there's no one talking about Reaper when it comes to beatmaking...poor people, little they know 👀
Someone's gotta pave the way!
Renoise rewired in Reaper is a lethal combination as if the two were made for each other.

Wait this is Reaper and not Logic Pro 😳
That is really awesome
Indeed!
one of the best beats tutorials ive seen for reaper. Thanks for this
I'm Asian and I think what you said is not offending. I agree with you too that it sounds like an Asian Ethnic Stringed Instruments. :)

Share this video then 😀 Glad I could help
@@WodzuBeats Sure
A big thanks from Finland! This was time well spent. Reaper is such a beast to explore that this brought many useful things up. Liked & subbed!
This is clear and short guidance, no ass long introduction. I have been reading Reaper's guides book but beat making sucks. Thanks!

I must admit that Jay really got his shit togheter without Silent Bob around. Jokes aside, great work! Thanks for this video.

So epic. Made an easy to follow tutorial while making a beat. Gonna have to sub after this masterpiece.
you are literally the man. this is the best video i've ever seen in my life. I love you!
Haha, thanks 😀 Glad I could help and greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
Yes sir, good one. Im going with Reaper
Dzięki Wodzu za interesujący materiał. To właściwie to czego szukałem. 👍
Docking the media explorer is genius! I've started using logic too but I never thought of that
Definitely helps a lot 😀

Best tutorial I have seen...I have been on and off with Reaper but I am going back to it and going to follow along to this again.

I really enjoyed the joke you made when talking about Sitala: "When you find the snare you like"
Ba dum tssss! 🥁
I've been using reaper for years but never had an understanding of it like this. Thank you for the great video!
Same here, that's why I've made this tutorial 😀
Dude Reasamplomatic totally handles multiple samples.
Thanks, I've got to know already, it's an old vid
@@WodzuBeats Apologies. So am I, lol.

Best Reaper feature: portable installation, so you can keep your setup on a USB drive and produce anywhere, anytime.
I agree, but if I had to take all the plugins and sound banks I'm using with me it won't fit on a single USB drive 😕
This is a fantastic video. You cover all the basics to get you started. Great work.
New, refreshed one coming next year!
Fantastic guide, you sure know what you are doing and how to do it in Reaper. Thanks!
You're welcome man! Thanks for being on the live yesterday 😎
Ten thousand subs!
You're doing alright man. Well done👊
