I'm still troubleshooting. No luck so far however, I also have Sony Vegas 14.0 on the computer. I tried recording into Vegas last night and that seemed to work so it looks like something is set wrong in Reaper or one of these last 2 Reaper updates may be giving me headaches. So frustrating.

TalismanRich are you using the Tascam US 16x08 as your interface.

I'm running Reaper 6.35. Dell XPS 8910, 6th gen i7, 3.4 GHZ, 16GB ram. Tons of Waves plugins however they are all turned off right now. I'll check into the playback options however I would think if that was the issue I would be having it on more than just newly recorded tracks. This is driving...

Checked everything I could think of Cannot figure out what would be effecting the sample rate. I did uninstall and reinstall latest drivers, Changed all cords, I do recall about a month ago when I was rehearsing out of nowhere the song I was doing played much slower than original and in a...

Recording with a tascam US 16x08 interface with Reaper. No trouble for several years. After not using it for some time when I recorded some vocals they playback scratchy, out of time and way out of tune. Tried the obvious stuff, recorded on several different tracks different songs new project no...

Looking for advice from those who have used the SM7b, how is it as compared to a SM58, AKG C214, AKG C3000B. Looking for something clean and clear with not quite the bite/sibilance of most condenser mics. Of course for male vocals. country/pop. Not metal or screaming vocals.

Looking for a good program to convert CD audio to MP3 files with the ability to title the files so they show up on files and car radios etc. Old version of Nero worked great but Nero 2017 Platinum sucks for this. suggestions?

Dell External cd burner all of a sudden gives me error code cannot set active recorder. Plays cd fine, won't burn. Thoughts?

Need asvice on best cans for mixing, already own AKG K240M and Sennheiser HD240 pro

I have an old 32 bit version of Antares auto tune, can I run it on my windows 10 64 bit system along with all of my other software. Running Reaper and many Waves plugins. Looks as though some of the Waves are 32 and/or 64 bit. All are legally licensed.

Guys I have an older Gateway 832GM Pentium 4 that is a workhorse. It is not my main machine anymore but I use it for burning Cd's email, some storage, that kind of stuff. All of a sudden when I went to wake it up from being asleep it did not wake up, Nothing, black screen,not even a curser on...

I'm starting to use the Waves WLM Plus as the last plugin on the master buss in Reaper. I'm using the EUB -R 128 LUFS 18 preset. getting several overs on the short term portion but no overs on the long term readings. I understand why this is happening but I'm wondering how big a deal it is if...

Thoughts on the Art PRO MPA, not the digital one the 299.00 preamp and if I go from there into my Tascam 16x08 interface am I defeating the purpose of the preamp. I know dumb question but I want to be sure I'm gaining something before I buy the preamp . My main vocal mics are the AKG C214 and...

Would like to know peoples thoughts on using wind screens as well as pop filters on larger condenser mics. I have a sibilance problem especially s's and though I'm trying to be careful when I sing I'm also looking at other options. I've tried the proximity thing, I do not have a treated vocal...

Would like to know peoples thoughts and real world experiences with deessing and compression. I have heard/read opposing views. Some say if you heavily compress a vocal your trying to de-ess you will bring up the volume of the other frequencies making the s sounds less audible, others say by...
