I swear to god reaper content creators are on another level sharing all these infos.
I don't want to know how much time you've spend on editing this thing ;) So smooth!
shit, even the djent cat is synchronized at the end
Hahahahaha 💙 - omg. Yes it takes a while and I spend so much time in things probably no one will notice but reading that you noticed that makes it so worth it!!
Btw super excited for your return!
my friend for years staring down the high dive hesitating to take the leap into daw. I like your soft approach intros to Reaper which I recently purchased. Thank you. You are definitely reaching at least one person... me!
Yeah I don’t even use Reaper, but I still watch the videos :)
THIS IS FREAKING GOLD. Reaper owes you money.
This was incredibly useful and helped me with my frustrations with midi-editing in Reaper.
Great video and super helpful thank you! Tons of good stuff in here, love your style!
This was INSANE!
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
Man... Keep posting videos! I like how you explain, how your videos look. Everything is so satisfying to watch. And of course very very helpful!
Exactly the video I needed right now! Thanks!
All the videos in this channel are awesome! I'll start implementing all tricks here, it'll make recording more enjoyable
Oh, man.. what a video! My first time on this channel, thanks a lot TH-cam's recommendation system lol The tips are pure gold, got me subscribed way before the end of the video. Thanks for sharing this, Alejandro! Life and time-saving! I think it would take me a lot of time to learn a setup like this alone.
Every single video in this channel is a gem. I recognized so many things that usually annoy me that will be fixed by implementing these ideas, thanks a lot!
Omg thank you! - Yesss I was hoping it could also help people with those tiny things ~
@@Reapertips I also copied most of your MIDI toolbar following what I could see in the video and got a few extra awesome functionalities, like that crazy Mordi script to find the key of selected notes, but there is still like half of the toolbar that I don't know what is. Mind sharing it?
This is the most informative and zero-bullshit music tutorial I've ever seen! Thank you so much, please keep making content like this. You are really good at it.
That tutorial was SO helpful! Thank you!!!
Invaluable, I spent a lot of hours in front of this screen. Thank you Alejandro!
Thank you so much Joao! 💙
I always recommend people to watch your drums video, it's so perfect!!

Awesome vid. The drum view has been SUPER useful
Alejandro, I just started using Reaper as a total newbie and your video thaught me so much. I subscribed immediately 😊. Thank you for sharing this information 👍🏻
Excellent video! I'm finally starting to organize my midi editor and this helps a lot!
The quality of this video is exceptional. Clear, concise, well-presented and edited...and a great showcase of some of Reaper's MIDI Editing capabilities as well!
P.S. I am 100% yoinking that "velocity sensitivity" custom action. Brilliant.
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!
That's so amazing to hear!! ❤️
Awesome video ! Thank you so sooo much ! And stoked for part 2 ! 😀
Yess this motivates me a ton 💙
Hahaha it's incredible how the stickers are playing the drums in full synchronize time, I love it!
Aaaaa so glad you noticed 💙 hahaha it's my favorite part of editing
Thanks for this video, man! - I've been struggling with the midi drums workflow for years and always gave up. I finally got that a-ha! moment after going through your detailed instructions. Keep the vids coming!!

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 helpful, cheers!
INSTANT thumbs up for that cool dog!
You've earned a new subscriber, very nice channel!!!
Thank you, very complete explanations.
Really great work, super useful tips. 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!
Ow - thank you! It's perfectly fine. Everyone's workflow is super different, which is very cool! I've met people that haven't changed a thing in REAPER and write waaaaay better drums than me hahaha.

Thanks again. Its so far between doing this stuff I always forget.
Your videos are so professional man. I love watching your stuff. The thing is with reaper. You can’t master it, it’s got too much stuff
Amazingly helpful info :)
02:54 damn i had no clue about that ! Total gamechanger !
wow, thank you for this!

Thank you so muuuch cole ❤️❤️❤️
Hey! We’re only months apart, I’m working towards career goals too and using TH-cam as a hobby/side goal. My “friends” have pressured me over the same thing, and even (especially) not kissing anyone. It’s not that I’ve never had the chance, it’s that I’ve never made the choice. Thanks for this video! Stay encouraged
very helpful video thanks mate
thank you so much!! you were the first comment ✨
I am a long time Reaper video, but this tips were really cool and useful + the video is super nice to watch thanks to your nice editing. Bravo!
Just bought your ReaperTips to make a small donation - and I am sure I'll get nice ideas from this ebook!
Cedric!! - just saw the purchase. Made my day! Thank you soooo much 💙
@@Reapertips Ooh that was really nothing, I should have bumped the amount up... your videos are great and full of inspiration. Right now I am reorganizing my "Empty TCP menu" to have direct access to a more organized Track Template menu. Yours looks so clean :)
But a question is: how/where can I specify icons to be displayed in front of each folder? Maybe it is a Mac only feature?
@@cedricsimonakafrozenjazz 💙 ooo I only just recently realized that you can add emojis to your folder and toolbar names haha, so I just find an emoji and paste it there. Helps a lot!
@@Reapertips Thanks for the tip! Too bad on windows they seem to appear black and white (both on explorer and within Reaper)
@@cedricsimonakafrozenjazz ooooo good to know! Then it's a Mac thing only. That's unfortunate. Emojis help a lot
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.
Thank you!
This video has changed my life and I haven't even finished watching it.
Thank you! 🙌
Thank youu Federico for always being here 💙
Thank you for this video
thank you!
I am so happy I found your channel
im so happy to have you here!
Earned a new sub. Great video. I love Reaper but I do fight with it sometimes
Understandable! Happy to assist with anything tho! Lemme know. I'm most active on instagram and discord 💙
Excelente amigo 😮
Awesome thanks.
Thank you Thank you and Thank you!!!
10:31 paint notes
holy shit total gamechanger
Good stuff
Love the video. Love the information. Great job love to see more. Just wondering what is the button controller under your screen? Is that something you have mapped to reaper. Thanks again.
Thank you Matty! - I am using a Stream Deck. I honestly don't use it as much as I thought I would haha, but there's definitely super helpful things you can setup in there. I have seen people map it to all their most often used plugins or track templates. It could be a great companion for REAPER if you took some time to map it out. I just keep procrastinating doing that 🥲
I personally use keyboard shortcuts to up/down velocity and divisions ... saves soooo much time
good stuff
This is amazing guide! Than you so much! You are doing a great job! I don't know how many times during the video I said, "Wait, what?" :)
Hahaha aww that's so amazing to hear! Thank youuu.
Bro, what theme are you using, I looks amazin! I love the color and the icons!
Man, Reaper used to feel like an annoying co-worker I had to work with to keep a dream job…
now feeling like a close friend id share my deepest secrets and wishes with!
Your videos have opened my eyes to what an amazing DAW Reaper is.
Thank you so much, very appreciated Alejandro!
