Howdy... The other half of the band is currently having a break, so I guess I am too... meanwhile, while he's working out what he wants to do thought I'd bring all our tracks recorded on the standalone machine over into Reaper and remix them using the better quality tools available, and add...

And are they best done with the mic on a stand? Or via a shaky old dude holding a gooseneck extension and possibly shattering the teeth of the new pontiff? Discuss....:D

So this is the first recording I've done of my band The Jongleurs on a completely new system, since ditching the old standalone and moving to Reaper, interface, PC and new monitors - so it's all a bit foreign to me still! Going from a 16 track to an unlimited track system is a real temptation...

Hi... Finding the whole question of what levels to record / mix / master at a bit more complicated in Reaper than my good old stand alone machine. Just want to check I'm doing, approximately the right thing as I have the first real attempt at recording a tune nearing completion. TRACKING So...

Believe it or not, I (and I suspect most of the regular noobie helpers) don't keep an encyclopaedia of exactly what type of device every brand and model number actually is in our heads. And with global branding strategies, lots of manufacturers are in lots of markets, making lots of different...

OK, so this is getting annoying.... As per the other thread I've downloaded the LAME encoder. 64 bit as I'm on Win 7 64 bit. I put it in the REAPER program folder. Reaper tells me when I try to render that it wants it in a specific folder and gives me that path. I can't access that folder in...

So I'm assuming somewhere there's a way of saving your complete mix parameters somehow, so that you can then go and attempt an alternative mix, but still have the original to check against. So far I've just been working on a single But can't quite work out how that's done - well, that's...

OK - so have finished first full mix on Reaper of an old tune... trying to work out how to "master it" to stereo... I'm just after the mechanics, not what FX, dynamics etc. to apply. I'm thinking I enable the stereo track so it appears in with all the other tracks, then, if I want to, say...

Hi I have a track for which I need to have different EQ settings in different spots. It has to be a switch thing, not a gradual transition. I'm using the standard Reaper EQ plug. So far the only way I've worked out how to do this is to set up two different instances of ReaEQ with the different...

So being relatively new to a PC-based system, I'm wondering exactly how others approach this... Firstly, my PC has a 128 SSD and 1 TB spinny data drive. It can't be RAIDed.. don't go there... :) I figure there are two things I need to cover: 1. 'Puter blows up! (encompassing any manner of...

I sort of have two questions... Firstly, what's the best of the five types of envelopes if I just want to draw in volume levels or pan positions manually. Sub question - having done this, are they always going to change if I then touch the master volume? So I've got the moves scoped and drawn...

Howdy... I'm currently recording my ode to space travel... called "Gravity (Like A Spaceman)" and I've decided that what may be cool in the intro and outro is a bunch of people saying Neil Armstrong's immortal phrase "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind". When we do it...

Howdy I have got a few of these recently (only a relatively recent DAW user...) and I'm struggling with them... I'm sort of used to having a bunch of controls that I can manipulate, instead of a bunch of presets and hard to manouevre knobs in the GUI. What are people's chosen reverb plug-ins...

Howdy... Just moving into the DAW world after many years on a standalone. Q1. What would you typically do with areas of tracks that contain no useful sound but are still "live"? For instance in the track I'm working on I basically sit down and play a few different guitar bits in various...

Just taking baby steps in recording actual audio in Reaper - what I can't work out is how hot I'm actually tracking, short of recording the track then soloing it in playback and checking in the Master meter... the individual track meters in the mixer don't seem to have numbers against the...

So some of you will have seen my various threads about this and that as I went about the process of retiring my much loved Yamaha AW4416 with full military honours and replacing it with a younger, new, faster and all together better looking new model - aka a PC-based DAW... So thanks for all...

Howdy My new PC arrived yesterday so I've been having a bit of a peek inside. It's got a 128GB SSD and a 1TB 7500RPM spinny drive. It's a Hewlett Packard work type machine so it appears to be a relatively clean install of Windows 7 Pro - not much crap on there that I can see. So... everything...

For consideration as a mix object... Dropbox 320KB Fraud - by The Jongleurs Soundcloud-mangled lower res Fraud - by The Jongleurs Cheers I have my own sticky. Awesome!

Howdy Anyone know of a "shootout" online between the usual suspects in this configuration? Talking Focusrite Scarlett 8i6, Presonus Audiobox 44VSL, Tascam US600, M Audio Fasttrack Ultra, MOTU 4pre, Lexicon Ionix 42 and anything else I might have missed? Any particular reason you'd choose one...

So I don't currently record on PC... but the old AW4416 is going to die soon and in order to avoid Win 8, I'm thinking now's the time to buy a PC just for recording. I'm talking PC here, not Mac, BTW. I use Reaper on my laptop to do drum tracks and export them back into the AW, so I'm familiar...
