Hi, not sure if there’s a sticky thread somewhere for this question so my apologies if so. I’m looking for a pair of monitors for recording in an untreated room. Been using headphones for years and thought it was worth a try doing it differently. Recording is just a hobby and the the room is...

This has never happened before...a completed song I'm mixing is suddenly playing at something like a quarter speed, volume showing in all faders but no actual volume in my headphones. Any ideas? Mark

Hi First new one in several months....be great to get some feedback on this initial mix. Cheers, Mark

Hi Can anyone recommend an effect within the JS/ Cockos suite that would be useful for making a vocal sound like it's coming out of a cheap two way radio,? I've tried a distortion but didn't sound quite right. Thanks Mark

I've had reaper for 3 years now, never updated as I'm not at all techy and quite happy with what it does. My old laptop is now so slow that I'm considering buying a new one. Is it possible to transfer my existing version onto new laptop? I don't really begrudge paying for a new license but would...

Evening I'm really struggling to eliminate a low but audible popping / quick crackle sound when recording using my guitar and bass (less apparent on bass ). I'm recording using a scarlett 2/2 and using the line in. I've tried different cables , guitars, headphones, headphone cables, both line...

Hi I have laid down a full drum track and know how to go into each section to edit individual beats etc. Is there a way to make a single edit on say a snare that will be applied to the whole song. Eg...I want to reduce velocity of the snare by 50% but going into each snare hit one by one will...

Hi I have a basic song template set up where I use a buss with some reverb vst to receive from most tracks so that the song has a nice overall balance of reverb. Since learning how to set up a buss I've not touched the template but noticed tonight that muting the buss track or changing the...

Hi New one up here for...taken quite some time to get it anywhere near ready as there's a fair bit of piano/ synth strings work on this which I'm barely proficient at. As always I'd appreciate feedback on the mix as it's not been mastered yet. Cheers, Mark

Hi I'm using Cockos reapitch to create a couple of additional 'voices' for a small section of a track I'm recording. The issue is that when that section plays, it is horribly distorted. I've read previously that reapitch is CPU intensive so I'm assuming this is the issue? Are there any work...

Evening First outing in over a year for me due to a hand injury. This is a song i'd been working on before the injury...I'd kind of abandoned it ages ago but then thought it might be a useful way to get used to recording again...so it got a new vocal melody and lyric and is right here...

Hi Its been a year since I did any recording after a hand injury so trying to remember half the stuff on reaper I never learnt properly in the first place 🥴...one of which is applying an effect to just one portion of the song ...a rejig of my memory would be helpful. Cheers Mark

Hi I feel that I'm fairly competent at getting an acoustic guitar to sit well in a full band set up mix as backing, however I often shy away from leaving a track raw ( that I'd prefer raw) because I feel I can't get an acoustic to sound strong enough on its own with minimal backing. I usually...

Evening....Feedback on this one would be much appreciated as always... Cheers, Mark Dusted 25 - 11 V2 by Mountain Telegraphs | Free Listening on SoundCloud

A simple question that has probably been asked a ton of times but theres no sticky as such. My PC is struggling to cope with running reaper as soon as I get to the top end of track numbers. I typically work about 30 tracks with a reverb buss and several other plug ins on individual tracks. Some...

I've been using MT drummer a while and very happy with it, however just having one kit is a tad restrictive. Is there a similarly intuitive drum vst with a wider range of kits / percussion? I love the speed of working in MT so thats the key fir me...not wanting much of a learning curve! Mark

We'll soon be moving house and will finally have a spare room so I can move past recording at the dining room table or on the sofa...sadly the spare room won't be a dedicated studio space but it is at least somewhere I can camp out in for the odd day here and there ?...I'm therefore looking for...

I'm often struggling to get a decent bass tone on my songs. They often sound 'woofy' or 'flabby' The strings are in decent nick and I'm not quite sure where I'm going wrong. I record DI into a focusrite solo and have tried a couple of plug ins along with reapers own cockos compression preset...

I'm trying to drop the velocity of a snare which was dropped into reaper from MT drummer. On Kenny Gioia's tutorial its as simple as right clicking on the piano on left in the midi editing screen and then changing velocity for all notes in the edit. Unfortunately I'm trying to do that and it...
