I'm not entirely sure this is a reaper issue but thought it the best place to start. I'm working on a song and keep having a recurring fault where the signal on a guitar line in will suddenly become horribly distorted...not loud and smooth, just weird sounds and unusable. I've never had it on...

Afternoon It's been a good couple of months since I last got anything finished and lockdown means the house is never clear of a crying baby or noisy child... so vox are just gonna have to wait on this one. Feedback on the instrumental version would be greatly appreciated... Mark Where The...

Hi Sometimes I try to copy a section of a track that has two or more wav files within it ..I select the region, copy selected part of track, paste....but it only pastes the first wav file. I can do the same action for the second wav and so on but I'm guessing theres a quicker fix? Cheers Mark

It's that simple really...I have a part in a song where it cuts from a distorted chorus part to clean verse...there is a brief whistle feedback sound which is not present on any of the individual tracks when isolated but it appears to be on the reverb bus which is feeding a reverb effect to...

I've watched a couple of videos but not found the answer to what I assume is a very simple question...I dont want to colour individual tracks in any way but I would like a colour coded bar at the top and bottom of the track list that shows me where verse, chorus etc sections are to enable easy...

I am wanting to save individual project files to my USB memory stick just in case of PC failure/ theft / baby sick and other unexpected events. I've assumed the file I need is the reaper project file within the song folders however this file is only a few hundred KB which got me thinking it's...

Hi I'm running my bass onto a joe Meek preamp/ compressor and then out to my focusrite interface...just wondering whether the signal boost on the focusrite line in should be on or off?..or whether it matters if you just adjust the gain anyway? Cheers Mark

Hello...I'd appreciate thoughts and feedback on this recording. First recorded song for a long time and it's taken a while to get my head round some kit and tidy up issues with original recording....Cheers, Mark A Ferry To Tilbury 07 - 04 - 20 by mcmac74 | Free Listening on SoundCloud

I love the simplicity of this vst but wondered if theres a drum vst that works in a similar way but with optional kits rather than just the one? Mark

Does anyone have any suggestions for techniques to make a subtle difference to drum machine beats so they sound a little more live and less programmed?...touch of distortion etc. I've been playing around myself so just looking for any tried and tested techniques to have a go with. I'm currently...

In my quest to be more productive in the limited time I get to record, I was looking at the possibility of investing in a USB mic for convenience. Now I know I'm not going to get an amazing matched mic, studio quality sounding acoustic guitar but it's all about expectations and I'm just...

Anyone know of a vst that can alter the Male voice to something akin to female and child voices??? It's for a backing vocal...Jumping in freezing water / genitals in vice alters my voice initially but its neither sustainable nor practical for home recording ?

Hi...I've set envelopes up for volume automation but now trying to set them up to make the reverb level higher on the vocal in the chorus. The effect is on a bus so I assume I set the envelope up on the vocal rather than the bus as the bus is handling two other vocal tracks on the same...

Can anyone recommend a vst (preferably ffree) that will assist in making an acoustic guitar recorded via direct line in sound more authentic? (As in mic recorded) I'm playing around with eq, effects and even some mastering effects but it would be handy to have another tool in the box. Home life...

Odd question I know....I stopped using a pick years ago as a lot of the songs i write are a mix of picking / strumming and I find it much easier not using a a pick. However, I've just started recording songs again and noticed that acoustic backing tracks are lacking the clarity i used to achieve...

Hi This is my first recording for some time and i'm struggling to get the kind of finish i want ...To my (now overused) ears, it sounded pretty good on the headphones and i'm fairly happy with the mix.... but after mastering and trying in other systems (car stereo etc), the song sounds boxy...

It's taken a few months due to a rather steep learning curve and a lack of time at home, but i've just about finished my first song using Reaper...actually my first recorded song in 11 years and also the first time i've used a DAW. The working titled version posted is not yet mastered and still...

After years of using a standard home stereo to monitor / mix / master (and getting decent if not amazing results), I'm finally gonna step out and get some monitors or decent headphones. Headphones will work better in the home so the family aren't exposed to various noodlings, mumblins and...

I'm loving the fact that reaper let's me add unlimited tracks without faffing around with bouncing or having random guitar bits on the same track before live mixing...however...although I'll be upgrading my laptop before long, I'm nearing the end of my first ' proper' recording on reaper. I'm...

Morning Working on a song and decided I want the intro 4 bars longer...I've done time selection to try and copy the first four bars of the entire song and thought it would be a simple case of doing copy selected area of items and then pasting in at the start of the song. I cant seem to get it...
