Dude I'm loving your channel. I finally switched to reaper after years of pro tools and logic and I'm frustrated with myself for not doing it sooner. Thank you!
Thanks for uploading this! I’m new to reaper and have some modest goals for music production. I primarily want to be able to take the drum tracks my band gets at a studio and edit them for timing and clean out a little of the mud (just like you demonstrated here). Secondary goals are to record legit guitar, bass and vocals at my house. Practical/real world example videos like this are a huge help and make this seem achievable. Cheers!
@@LetsTalkAboutReaper Myk, let me know, I'd love you to see my new studio. I'm just off Overton Square, behind Ballet Memphis. Just look up Ghostnote Studio Memphis.
I like to make the waveforms bigger when editing ,but i will say i have yet to line drums up to the grid and thanks for showing , it is awfully time consuming
Nice and useful video ! It seems that at 18 minutes you accidently ungrouped your drums tracks and edited the whole project tracks (the split affects all the tracks instead of only the drums). To make gates sounds more natural (especially when there is a lot of cymbals in the recording), I sometimes tend to set the dry/wet between 90 and 95%, to keep a little bit of bleeding. For editing itself, I like when possible to edit by sections of fews bars rather than on a hit by hit basis, keeping a bit of the feeling of the drummler (sometimes it is better to keep the kick rushing and the snare dragging a bit, for example).
Hi Myk. First of all, thanks for all your dedication to the Reaper community. I went through your drum editing course and it helped me a lot. One thing I wanted to ask you is this: is it advisable to glue all items once editing is done? Is it better to just render to a new track? Any advice on how to handle the finished edited track items? Thanks.
Hmmm... Using the new fixed item lanes and swipe comping method, I just hide the source lanes and leave the comp lane "as is." There's nothing wrong with gluing the tracks to make them one contiguous item but I usually just lock them to prevent accidental movement but allow me to unlock it I hear something later that I may have missed during my editing.
hmmm... what version of REAPER are you running? This is a stock action that best i can recall has been in there for quite some time. In the actions list, if you filter for 'silence" you don't see it? If you have a moment, hop on Discord and share some screenshots, let's figure this out. Thanks for watching!
I have been playing For 40 years and I think the drums sound great 👍. I record with reaper and I am always looking to improve upon my drum mix Thanks for the great video

Nice one, thank you as ever
Thanks for sharing this❗👍🤙
Awesome job! I love REAPER! And your hat! My studio is a few blocks north of the Memphis Drum Shop! RAWK!
I'll be in your neck of the woods next week for work! Got a conference to attend for our clinic

It does get faster with practice, and particularly if you work in large sections instead of cutting every single note

Sounded really good on the first play. I think I could even chill to that kind of sound. You have any drum tracks on soundcloud. etc ?

imo the drums are lacking bro. Sounds a bit amateur
That's fine, I'm not a professional drummer 😁
