Ive owned ALL the major DAWs (and still own several of them), but i always return to Reaper simply because of its intuitiveness. Its one of the best and most straightforward DAWs for mixing and recording audio. I'd argue It's definitely is still missing some more advanced audio editing functionality (and it can be argued even some more basic essentials at this point), but It's still pretty good for audio editing tasks. But it has a long, long way to go with midi features. What it is undisputedly the best at is customization (even tho I personally haven't had much need to customize much besides key commands & macros). It's also the lightest weight most cpu efficient DAW.
Literally about to walk out the door for rehearsal and I am quickly updating our backing tracks. This was a perfect solution to normalizing my backing tracks. Thank you Kenny!
You are the Dr.Dre of reaper dude. MAN, you just.....I.....just .......you have taught me Everything I know man. There is a gold seat next to the elite producers of the world, next to the pantheon of the immortals. Thank you Mr.Kenny
Great video (as always). Maybe you could do a short video explaining the difference between LUFS, RMS and Peak - to compliment this Normalization video?
Now, would this also be a good way to normalize the tracks on an EP or album? That is, either by bringing in all mixed song files into one project, or using the same LUFS setting for each song project mixdown? Or is there a better way to do that?
LUFS-I normalizes to the loudness of the entire program material, i.e. the entire song, album, movie, podcast. When you choose this option in Reaper's normalization menu, does it really scan and calculate the LUFS loudness of the entire project? That seems very improbable to me.
If you use normalize on live tracks beware small but loud clicks (guitars being plugged in or out) as these will throw the normalising off. I use true peak first and then it's easier to see if the normalisation gives you the expected result. If not i zap the clicks with an audio editor first.
The more you share videos, the more I realize how deep reaper is. Thanks for sharing all these tips !
Perhaps it should be called Deeper instead of Reaper. 😏

yeah surely one life is not enough 😅😁
@@EricJohnson-fh8zjwell it can be said about all DAWs to be honest...each one of them is missing one thing or the other

I just got off a gig and I plan to balance out our backing tracks manuall6. This video helps a lot! Thank you Kenny
Kenny you are a true leader in music production/education.
Thank you for helping so many!! #creativelive 🙌🏼

Keep 'em coming, Kenny! Thank you!
Of course I learned something, I always do! Thank you Kenny!!

Would this be good to use on 4 different takes of the same backing vocal before moving them to a folder?

Thanks Kenny ❤🎶⭐
YES! I needed this!
Thanks, Kenny
Thanks!
Thank you.

Sensacional
I normalize all of my tracks.
Cimer Kenny.
