As someone who programs and auditions a lot of MIDI, it blows my mind at how handy Track Lanes can be in that context. I don't have to create separate tracks just to save some ideas, I can now switch quickly what MIDI I want to hear by just switching the track lanes. 🔥 Thank you for showing that you can actually put in different clips in the different track lanes; I thought it was just for takes. "Comping into an empty lane" just blew my mind! I know this feature is in other DAWs, but I'm just glad it is available to us now.
Real talk... It has many different things it can help with like you said recording midi takes... Vocal takes... Audio files it might even work on automation the possibilities are definitely open... Thank you for watching....😀🙏🏾
I'm the same, and track lanes are so much more intuitive for me than the Take facility - yes, it works, but it feels really clunky, like other areas of Reaper. Am still trialing the software (coming from Mixcraft), but these UI / feature updates in Reaper 7 have won me over. Track spacers are great too.
Hey dude im a young artist just trying to learn my way through all of this music stuff and your videos have helped me out way more then I ever thought someone online could do, all love man hope you have a good one and keep up the helping hand you give in your videos thank you.
That's what's up... I'm glad you got something out of the video... You should check out my discord I do weekly listening sessions live on my other TH-cam channel.. 🚀 Join My Discord - discord.gg/bZBSW9xS2A if you want a song or beat critique. Let me know if you have questions...😀🙏🏾
3:02 That's because you're trying to drag the spacer to the end of the list...where it's empty space anyway. If you tried it on your second track from the top you could drag it down below the 3rd.
Yea... I can see it being used for so many things like sound design layering ... Sampling... Vocals guitar layer its a very useful feature for sure... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
Yea it definitely has some nice things in it.. that container stuff will definitely come in handy like making an fx chain that's a little different... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
I'm pretty sure you can't move the bottom spacer down because there's only a single track below it. You don't need a spacer at the end of the last track. I'm guessing if you add another track to the bottom you can then drag it down.
There is a little icon to the left of the take lanes like how you collapse folders that will make the lanes smaller or right click and choose show only lane and that will combine the lanes to one one take that you can make smaller or bigger.. I hope this helps...😀🙏🏾
No script just using ReaperTips theme and used the adjustment in the theme editor when I was on v6 I haven't tied to adjuster for v7 yet I herd they are still working on it..😞... But yea just a theme nothing special... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
@@learningreaper Ok, thanks. I'll check that out. I've been on Pro Tools HDX for years and recently jumped ship so I'm at the bottom of my learning curve. :)
Hi, I have a 6.X license but Reaper informs that I have to upgrade when I try to import the key. Where did you get the info that the 6.X license was valid for version 7?
Did you purchase your license when you had 5.x? That would be the only reason that you would have to purchase one for 7. If you are having issues you might want to go to reaper site support.
It's not a virtual midi keyboard it's a script called MX Tuner. It allows you to tune your notes on the fly to lock it to a key of your choice. I have a video showing how to setup and use it in Reaper... Let me know if you have questions...😀🙏🏾
I was hoping they would add a gain staging knob for every track, so we can keep our sliders at 0dB, and lower every track individually to -18dB. Right now I'm using the Klanghelm VU Meter on each track. I calibrate it to -18dB, and then link the right/left & lower it until it hits 0 on the meter. I'd rather just have a simple knob on each track. I've seen it in another DAW.
Yea that would be a good idea... I used Cakewalk for a long time and it has a gain knob in the mixer helped a lot... You should do a request to get the gain knob added ... I'm pretty sure someone else had requested this tho... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
Glad , comping finally arrive in Reaper . it would be handy to mashup vocal . Is it support different fx chain for every lane ? or we just only allowed used whatever FX chain in master Track lane ?
Reaper is a good DAW with almost too many features could you give your take on Reamenus and Reatooled. I use them both although with Reamenus you have to familiarize yourself with its menus like the resource folder which now is under the file menu instead of the Options menu, and then Reatooled adds pro tools functionality to Reaper but is this possible with Reapers script and modifiers. Thanks in advance.
I don't use any of those scripts... You can modify Reaper so much that I don't really use menus everything is in my tool bars that I frequent... Or I create a short cut with a key command... Never a big pro tools fan so never really got a solid workflow from pro tools ... You can make Reaper function like any other DAW that's the power of the DAW... You can even get different themes to match the other DAWs weather that's FL Studio... Cubase.. Cakewalk and even protools.. you just have to make your own work flow... Hope this helps .😀🙏🏾
Sooo I didn't know about this update thing with reaper and I don't really use the daw as much as id like to sooo I see no need for me to renew my license. Is there a way for me to just remove the updates and go back to version 6.9? Anybody gave an answer for this? Please and thank you
What you can do is load the new version on a flash drive so it won't interfere with the 6.8 version you have.. yes Reaper can boot from a flash drive and work flawlessly... Hope this helps...😀🙏🏾
how can i get my layout like that? how can I get the mixer out of the right side of the window and have the file explorer use the whole right side of the window? what I'm trying to say is that the mixer uses the entire bottom part of the window.
If you see where the tab is for one of those things you can hold down the click on it and drag it around your UI. I can't remember the terminology but try looking up "changing Reaper layout" or "changing Reaper view"
Once you dock your browser click the tab and drag to the left of the screen hold control and it will give you other drag options so that it will completely take over the left side of the screen... I hope this helps..😀🙏🏾
Hey I have a question if I’m using reaper v9 free trial am I still able to save stems and track outs for some reason when I try to render the song out it’s not letting me select the full project even when I highlight it start to finish nothing is working
Reaper is only on v7 and yes you are able to save the DAW is fully functional when you download it even without a license... When you render what type of render are you doing... There are many different ways to render in Reaper I made a video that should help th-cam.com/video/iTrQZblttIw/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
I’m just trying to render my recording audio and beat to send over to my engineer but for some reason it’s not selecting all my tracks when I click them like you did it that video and when I time select the full project still nothing
It's not for everyone and then again it is.... This is the most customizable DAW you will ever use... Lowest CPU DAW that you will use... Don't get me wrong it has a learning curve for sure ... But you can make it your own... What DAW do u use now?
@@learningreaper it looks like it was designed by computer programmers rather than by artists. it looks and feels clunky, compared to Bitwig, Cubase, Studio One, etc...
@@ranajoyshil yes, there are some very nice themes. it's more about the right-click menus, plugins windows, etc it looks and feels very much Windows 98.
Not sure what you mean...🤔 You are the first person to state on this channel that you don't like that I have background music. I think the music makes the video flow better. If you don't want to hear the music you can always watch with captions so you don't have to hear the voice or the music. Let me know if you have questions... And thanks for watching...😀🙏🏾
4:23 do you know what`s that small circle icon in the beginning of item? I have them occasionally but no idea why lol
It's something they added you can turn it off you can check out this short it should help...th-cam.com/video/IGfynjOnI6M/w-d-xo.html

Yea I found out not to long ago that it was on me... It won't go to the bottom track... Thanks for the comment..😀🙏🏾
Track Lanes options are GREAT! Thanks for showing everyone how to do this.
Yea... I can see it being used for so many things like sound design layering ... Sampling... Vocals guitar layer its a very useful feature for sure... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
I think that lane thing and comping will be a cool feature to do sample chops. Really like some of the new stuff in 7
Yea it definitely has some nice things in it.. that container stuff will definitely come in handy like making an fx chain that's a little different... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
chapters didn't work for some reason
Yea that is pretty weird... The numbers work but it's not showing at the bottom...🤔
I'm pretty sure you can't move the bottom spacer down because there's only a single track below it. You don't need a spacer at the end of the last track. I'm guessing if you add another track to the bottom you can then drag it down.
That makes sense... And I tried it and it worked 😂... Learn something new everyday... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
Seen a couple of thumbnails already about 7, now I finally watched something... wow, that comping feature is brilliant, great stuff!
Yea it's pretty nice... It has alot of possibilities just by adding track lanes... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
How combined for pensil lane? 😅
There is a little icon to the left of the take lanes like how you collapse folders that will make the lanes smaller or right click and choose show only lane and that will combine the lanes to one one take that you can make smaller or bigger.. I hope this helps...😀🙏🏾
@@learningreaper thx 🙏
When I used Samplitude, that program had this kind o comping.
I think there are a couple of DAWs that had this kind of comping flow.. I like what they did just took me a minute to figure out how to use it 😂...🙏🏾
I like your channel strip layout. Would you mind sharing which script you're using for that? Thank you.
No script just using ReaperTips theme and used the adjustment in the theme editor when I was on v6 I haven't tied to adjuster for v7 yet I herd they are still working on it..😞... But yea just a theme nothing special... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾

@@learningreaper Thanks for det advise. I was convinced that I bought the license on v6 but it turns out I bought on v5. Sorry for the confusion.
Good afternoon. How did you go about placing the virtual midi keyboard in docker under the samples browser tab?
It's not a virtual midi keyboard it's a script called MX Tuner. It allows you to tune your notes on the fly to lock it to a key of your choice. I have a video showing how to setup and use it in Reaper... Let me know if you have questions...😀🙏🏾

You should be able to add fx directly to the audio file... I will check.. but yea for the track itself it would be the fx chain on the track..😀
Did you just reinvent Grunge?
Who knows... We shall see... 😀🙏🏾
@@learningreaper I mean at least you inspired me by this (presumably) random track. I grabbed my guitar yesterday and jammed a bit :)
