Newbie home recording tutorial (4): REAPER: VST and Envelopes

[ChickPie4tea]

good set of videos but I had trouble finding them on youtube because of the title home recording... I did a search for "reaper" and didn't find these. I only found a link on the reaper forums.

Also, can you share some of your VST please? Some drum machine please? We can trade if you want.

[jamestakeshi]

How can I record track by track with metronome while it is continuously looping. Just like some other professionals do.

[virgo47x]

For both of your questions I recommend to visit some forum - REAPER has nice forum. About VSTis, the same... Google was my best friend here (plus again, Reaper's forums). I use Native Instrument free Kore/Kontakt players and their free soundpacks.

when using midi how do i get the sounds to record through my midi that are on reaper already...couldnt understand what you said

[virgo47x]

Sorry, I don't exactly understand the question. Midi track doesn't play on its own, you have to add VSTi (or other insturment) into FX chain. That's what makes the sound. Or you can route the midi out of your computer into external synth and play/record audio from that synth... there are probably more ways, I use only VSTis.

sorry

well the video helped me ask you a question I hope and I respond by using the reaper and load the AmpliTube, record the guitar perfectly AmpliTube effect but the problem is, when I want to keep track of the guitar is kept clean but qiero save with the effect of AmpliTube hope you can help me greetings from Monterrey Mexico

[virgo47x]

I just don't save with effect. This way you can always change your mind later and change effect. If you want wav or mp3 with the effect, use File/Render. That way you can get your result.

I'm wondering why you comment under English video so I can't understand. :-) How can I know now you're not swearing at me, ha? :-)

[Seenya59]

Nice videos, virgo47! I've used Sonar for many years and recently bought Reaper. Great software!

[p3nnywi5dom]

I can't get rid of an 'offline' message in my track. How can I fix it?

[ramosdan]

thx for all! you rule

[chevkoch]

Thanks much for explaining how to use envelopes.

[strano21]

nice tutorial my friend, basic stuff but clear

good job

[virgo47x]

thank you :-)

[BigCowz]

Hi, do you know if you can set a limiter or "threshold" on envelopes im trying to use a volume envelope controlled by midi but i want to set a limit on the max output. do you know how?

[virgo47x]

Sorry, I don't know how to do that. I'd go to Reaper forums and ask there because there are many skilled people - both with Reaper and music recording in general.

[BigCowz]

Ok, thanks
