Here's how I usually track guitars (and everything else) in REAPER ✨
I go over my track structure for double tracking, special recording shortcuts, a custom action that explodes the last two takes into the next two tracks, preparing the session, loop recording and moar! - Also how I use an old keyboard as a recording tool. Pretty cool thing :)

I've been using Reaper for 8 years now. I am very pleased that the developers keep up with the times and give the opportunity to simplify the process for creators.
@Reapertips, thank you so much for these tricks and keyboard shortcuts under the table, genious!
Awesome charisma, useful information. I'll follow the channel, with all of my heart I wish prosperity.
As a drummer, I'm new to the guitar world and the actual recording thing, I'm really happy I found your channel, very useful :). Thanks a lot
I want all the knowledge that you have, these videos are amazing and very well edited too, please keep it coming!
Top usefull videos on the entire plataform
Dude you are killer on reaper and one can see that your ideas come from experience.. I'm glad you're broadcasting again Aleajandro. Cheers!
Glad to see you back again. Your videos are terrific, this one is very useful.
Bro I've been using Reaper for a long time and I really don't have a time to tinker all the settings and search every guide. Much needed on this tutorials! Excited to learn more from you. SUBSCRIBED!
SOOOO USEFUL! I Especially appreciate all of the interesting custom commands and custom foot-switch!
oo so glad to hear End!! :D
Dude i'm so happy that i finally found someone that knows the solutions to these actual problems. This video saved sooo much time. Thank you so much man keep up the instructional videos.
Yaaay ✨thank you soo much, just so happy to know that it helped you that much!
Compa, que chevere! Este consejo del custom action para grabar me ahorra tanto tiempo! Muchísimas gracias!
Halfway through this vid I scrolled down and saw I could pick up the template so I spent basically the last of my money on it and I know it's gonna be worth it! Thank you!
You always have terrific and wildly useful tips! This is great stuff. I’m always looking for a way to quickly capture a song idea when inspiration strikes and this is a fantastic approach.
Thank you so muchh. Means a lot, Scott!
These videos are so useful, and save me a LOT of stress! Thanks a million 😁
You're a freakin' genius dude! totally getting one of those keyboards haha! That looks incredibly handy for recording, but if your recording AND filming yourself and don't want to loose focus/light position that keyboard looks soooo handy. favorite Reaper channel on TH-cam!
Yesss especially if you are filming!! I remember when I used to make music videos I'd control reaper with my phone
It actually looks incredibly footy.
Amazing tutorial! im a beginner at reaper but i needed that so much
All I can say is wow! You’ve definitely taken this to the next level
Aw James thank you!
That was extremely helpful , it really is a functional workflow and totally reduces the overwhelm associated with doing 2 guitars and multiple takes - unfortunately i recently moved away from Reaper to Cubase but i still believe in Reaper abilities to be more dynamic and im still learning i find it very solid to work with
Aw not unfortunate! cubase is super awesome :D - you can always have reaper somewhat integrated into one of your workflows ~
Thank you for the nice comment!!
Nice. I like the explode to stereo pair trick 👍
Watched this video when it came out and I ended up buying an elgato stream deck pedal, combined with your other tips, it was a game changer! Thanks!
that first tip is already nuts. what the
(edit: the tuner one specifically omg)
Really well done dude. Great job
What a superb video. So helpful. Thanks!
badass man. nice creative approach, to building tools for creating.
opened the video without faith but hell, so good tricks and tips :) amazing man.
hahaha, yaaay! thank you Kaue!
Very useful - thanks Alejandro!
Awesome tips, thanks!
I consider myself an experienced Reaper user and yet i learned a ton from this video. Thank you !
NB : cool music too ! Reminds me of Ben Kenney's solo stuff.
Very useful information, subbed!
Nice reaper help and tools. Thx!
Man this channel is so underrated! Hopefully you can show us how you mix your guitars as well. Cheers!
Man, I just finished recording some rhythm guitars and that shortcut saved me about 10 minutes! Thank you so much!
what shortcut ?
Picked up some really good tips in this one, thank you! Awesome song, too!
thank you so muuuch! appreciate the comment about the song
where was this 5 years ago😂😂amazing video man I can't wait to implement these shortcuts and actions
Good idea man! Thanks!
Awesome tips and awesome track! Reminds me of a heavy Mew sound. I'd love to hear the final track! (Oh! I see it is in the description!)
DUUUUDE THIS IS AMAZING! 💚💚
Amazing tips, dude!
You got me into mood of starting recording some stuff again.
You just got a new subscriber.🤘
Aw Rafael!! You are now inspiring me to record some more 🚀
The guitar track sounds very billy talent-esque. I love it!
Great video.
The "magic" that you showed us in the vid will save lives, trust me ❤️
ok, that's it...I'm subscribing! Your videos are so fun and relaxed and since I'm a new reaper user coming from 20years of ProTools, I'm just blown away by how efficient you work! It's just sad how many years of my life I lost colour coding tracks manually, stopping and undoing and re-recording etc..etc...and having a tuner right in the track is just awesome!!!! Well..let's just say my life just got a whole lot better now that I found your channel!!!
Your comments are the best!! thank you for being here!
Wow this song is fire! And great tips! Thank you!
super super appreciate the comment about the song 🥹 thank you!
Dude! i came here to know how to fix the palm-Mutting high volume that i get while recording and i got these amazing tips instead. i installed them all and it works! amazing. cant wait to record using these new tips! gracias!!
Breaking down my guitar recording like this seems complicated, but the foot pedal control is a game changer for its ease of use 🎸🎸🎸
it worked for me, thanks!!
this video rly helped me, thx!
Some great indepth tipps in this video (I've been using Reaper for tracking guitars for well over 10 years and I didn't know most of these functions).
This makes me happy to hear thank youuu!
Subscribed. I've realized how much the frustration I experience with Reaper feeling unintuitive and not optimized is discouraging me from making music.
These videos are great. Sitting down with your Ebook tonight to try and set myself a better foundation.
Watch REAPER MANIA videos.
Very useful tips, thanks a lot for sharing wisdom :D
This man is such a legend😊
Cool! I've been using Reaper myself for about 13 years now and I had absolutely no idea about some of the things you've showed here, so thanks a lot for all the useful info & tips. Small question: do you use any custom sounds for the metronome? Those which come by default with Reaper sound a bit annoying at times...
This was so good, thank you Alejandro. QQ, how to get the list of FX used on the track to the side of the track like you did?
perfect tutorials and tips!
Found this video on the Reaper subreddit and it’s super helpful! Thank you!
Happy to hear!! - hope you have a great day :D
Seriously great tips. Thanks Alejandro :^)
Cool video dude, Lots of nice workflow tips.
I especially liked your action to paste the last two takes from the bus onto the lower two tracks.
Is that what the stereo recording would be for in the Neural plugin?
I thought one would have to record each track in mono and then pan them after
that was insanely helpful!!!!
Awesome tips thank you!!
Thank you enduroooo
Great work with handy tips.
thank you so much Leslie! 💪
Haha such a positive and cool way to present. Instant subscribe. Thanks man.
Thank you so muchhhh. I try 💙💙
You are amazing!
Alejandro, how did you set up the effects list in the tracks where it shows ReaTune?
I really like this song!!!!
Question how do you get the bars where you add your plugins on the track ?? probably a dumb question but i cant figure it out :(
thx for the vid... so efficient way to do tracking. I clicked the suscribe button as fast as I could.
You are the best! Thank youuu
Marvellous, the spare keyboard trick with keycaps removed is amazing!
thank youu. so glad that you think so!
Great video. Just started learning reaper at school 1 month ago. It’s my first DAW! I have a question. How did you set up the second keyboard? Is it just plug/play and set the function keys?
Thanks a lots, it's awesome
Cheers to that recording shortcut! 👏🦖
Hell ye 💙💙
You're like a Reaper god, nice video !
thank you sooo much for being here 🙏
Thank you! Helpful. Your song "Boo!! sounds very nice! Best wishes.
thank you so much!! - this was so fuun to make!
Hi Alejandro. Thanks for all the tips, my Reaper feels great now after watching all of your videos haha.... I have a question tho.
4:25 How did u manage to get all the takes the same color as the track?
I've been trying to get my takes to be the same color as the TCP with actions (with no luck yet) but they get assigned random colors after I finish my takes.
To be clear, I want the takes to get assigned the same color as the track automatically when recording (like you). Please Help
Hey dude!! This channel rocks!!
Thank you marceloooo
Very awesome. Thank you
Great video, very useful
Thank you soo much!
Best tips ever!
Thank you so muuuch💙💙💙
Dude, theses are some great hacks to speed up the recording process. I've always liked the workflow of having a "recording" track and then my 2 actual tracks. But this record 2 takes and explode them will speed up my tracking immensely.
Yess for a lot of years I recorded into two tracks. But having this whole lane free at all times makes recording and overdubbing muuuch more seamless experience.
Hi, Your videos were truly enjoyable to watch and I gained a great deal of knowledge from them. For some reason, the first two X-Raym actions that you have you have mentioned to form the custom command to explode the takes to the next two tracks don't show up! although having the repository installed. Do I need to be installing them from a separate repository? please help!
Hello! thank you so muuch. Did you make sure you have Reapack installed with the X-Raym Repository installed as well?
man your vid pretty help me coz im new user of reaper
Besides amazing audio editing skill,your video editing skill is super fun to watch 🤟🤟....
aww thank you! makes me happy to hear!
genius way of doubletracking. I wish I learned it sooner!
Thank you so much! 💙💙 Happy it works for you
great video! I'm watching some of these tutorials on youtube to get a feel for Reaper before I go and install everything take the plunge into it
Ow okay!! That's awesome. Reaper is a lot of fun, but it does take some time setting up. I have a free guide on the reapertips website that should help with that tho 💙
Good tips thanks
mi pana, you just made my life and recording sooo much easier! thanks and subscribed
Muchísimas gracias!! 💙🇻🇪
Excellent Stuff!
Thank you soo much! 🚀
Great!
Bravo!
Perfectly timed video for me! Liked and Subbed 🤘 what theme is this? Looks perfect for me
Thank you for the sub!! :D I put the theme I use in the description 💪
Which Ibanez model is that? Thanks for all the vids btw, amazing stuff and super helpful!
Hii!! Thank you sooo muchhh. It's the ibanez six6dfm, I love it!! Super comfy and looks so nice :D
amazing. not so different from what I do, but all the little time savers add up!
That's so awesomeee. Once you enter this flow, it's soooo seamless!
@@ReapertipsI built a MIDI footswitch a while back that is perfect for this, I've been meaning to start using it for hands free recording!
Wow! My favorite SLO plugin is here. I love reaper daw, I love this plugin too. It's fantastic with single pickups
soldano best amp eveer!
Great video, very helpful and informative. Really dig your song song too, gives me Chon vibes. I would love a video of you going through a session where you write a song from scratch!
I think I may do this for the next video!! Just trying to think of how to go about recording it and presenting it. Writing a song is such a loooooooooong and all over the place process, but it's something I'd super love to show 😅 I think I have some really cool tips about it. Thanks for the motivation
@@Reapertips Look forward to it man :)
Yeah Chon so I'm not alone
Thank you so much! Also what program are you using to capture the screen and audio for this video?? Thanks!
Hi thank you! I'm using Screenflow, it's a Mac app
How do you get a rack on the track where you can easily insert and access your plugins
So awesome. Learned a lot on this one. I can't believe I never thought of putting a single instance of the amp sim in the folder track. Have you AB'ed this with using two separate amp sim instances per side?
Yes! At least for tracking and comping it works perfectly.
There's zero audible difference between two identical amps on two tracks vs the two going into one amp.
However, one downside of one amp is that you aren't really able to pan like 80L / 80R or have slightly different settings on each side. But I see this as more of the mixing stage kind of thing. I almost always end up switching tones in the mixing stage and I do like the slight variation in each amp, so when I want that I just move move and duplicate the amps to the tracks accordingly ~
@@Reapertips Important to add here though: Not all amp sims have the stereo function. Neural DSP does.
Did the E-trick on another key a few months ago. I did four key hits and a mouse click for like 15 years😢😆
Saaaame, it took me like 8 years for me to realize honestly 😅. Glad it helps!!
i will be very happy if you can answer. its could be very basic question but i dont know the answer so; how can we adjust metronome according to our track? when i change the tempo also my tracks metronome changes. i want the reaper recognize the tracks metronome and clicks it. i wanna record guitar covers but i wanna hear metronome with backing tracks. thank you.
I had the "small problem" too and I tried many solutions. Triggering recording via smart Watches, Google Assistant, Alexa, and so on. It was not very reliable. So, I bought a foot switch by boss and it works great. It has 3 switches. I use one for recording and one for deleting last recorded take. The recording switch also saves the project. It's a wonderful solution.
I use my old USB Logitech gamepad with its key bindings emulating windows keyboard.
I think this would be my holly grail for recording.. I could not get the scripts that you have . I have reapack and sws . What am I doing wrong? thanks in advance! !
Wow, this video was indeed very nice. Subscribed and diggin' into your other videos asap! :)
hello Kalsten! thank youuu and welcomeeeee. super glad to have you around~
Hey man, great video. Have 1 question - maybe I'm dumb, but I don't get how are you doing the thing that new take is not appearing as the second/third etc bar on the single track, insted your is recorded over the existing part of the track and than you can easily trim the sections which you like... :D
thank you so much! if I understood correctly, I think you refer that my takes don't show up in Lane view? You can hit Ctrl/cmd + L to toggle this view
