    This is really inspiring - I love everything about Reaper, from the pricing to the minimalist approach to the open-ness of the environment EXCEPT the Midi editor. Your vid has made me rethink it and realise how cool it can be. Thanks!

    THANK U SO MUCH!
    One of the reasons I sometimes get lazy at creating new songs is jus imagining writing drum parts by hand (I don't like using pattern presets) now things are going to get a lot more fun!
    Thanks

    Dude... You've just saved me so many hours. I just began writing in midi drums. Last week I spent about 4-5hrs writing some songs that easily could've been 30min not to mention the frustration. Life saver! Thank you so much!! Great editing and easy to follow steps. Instant subscribe!

      Something helpful when you get new actions and shortcuts is to just put them in a custom toolbar, so that you can see them in a glance and be reminded they exist (and also see the keyboard shortcuts).

    Really like this.
    I haven't finished watching so apologies if it's covered later, but for selecting patterns, try using the Filter (default is press F).
    Then select a note in a measure, and im the filter tell it what pattern you want selected. You can then e.g. copy/cut/delete those or give them a consistent velocity.

I am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of changes I would need to make to get to your workflow, but I have to say, the things you do are all actions I wish I had started applying from the beginning of my composing journey. But it's never too late improve, and this is a huge step forward. And yes, please make a follow-up, this was super useful. Thanks!

    recently bought reaper, you have an amazing channel, subscribed right away. 😊
    Can i ask you what stops you from switching to logic pro since you already went through the pain of buying a mac? the only thing that stopped me was not Logic's price but indeed having to buy a mac. I personally find very annoying having to install vst instruments for everything and everything has a different user interface. i know logic has a lot of integrated stock instruments so you can just download the thing and start composing right away, something you cannot do with reaper.
