I've often double tracked my vocal to add depth but never tried using the same take recorded on different mics to add depth. I assume others have and was wondering how you've found it? I have a couple of budget condenser mics as well as an SM58 to experiment with. My 2nd mic stand is in storage...

I've tried installing a few of their free plugins but there doesn't appear to be a dll file within the downloaded file for me to move into my own vst folder for use in reaper..can anyone guide me on this? Cheers Mark

I've noticed there are a lot of individual sounds available as free vsts, particularly pianos. I was wondering if there are vsts that mimic a complete synth with various sounds/ effects / instruments available within the single vst ( that I'd command with a midi controller) I only ask because it...

Hi...so I may have been a bit hasty and purchased an audio interface with only one mic input with phantom power. Having made that mistake, could I now run the second mic into my joe Meek pre amp ( with phantom power ) and then do the line out from that into the line in (without phantom) on the...

Evening I have removed all track media from the count in to this song...just wondering how I remove about half of the actual time so that theres not too much silence before the song kicks in....sure it's going to be a synch and some use of the Split function but cant figure it right now ? Mark

Hi So, just noticed that I have managed to delete the bass track on a song I'm working on...I don't know when or how but was probably a couple of sessions ago. Theres no point hitting undo as I've been doing loads of envelope volume automation which I don't want to lose. Is there any other way...

After a rather steep learning curve my first song recorded in reaper is almost done...all the parts are recorded so just need to get the mix sorted. I've read about automation for volume on individual tracks with envelopes which seems pretty straight forward although I'm yet to have a go. My...

Hey So I've written a midi track in bandlab using a string synth of some sort. I now want to experiment with different sounds of vsts in my DAW for said midi track. Is it as easy as exporting midi file to my DAW (reaper) and then just applying effects and virtual instuments?....or am I going...

Hi Reaper wont show certain vsts in the same file path as others of the same type...I've downloaded them all in 64 bit and it has the same icon as some other applications (picture of a disc/drive/ monitor. It's called Ace and is a tube amp sim from VST 4 FREE - Free Audio Plug-ins Archives...

Hi I've set a fade out on the master track but cant figure out how to get rid of the audio I don't want after the end point of the fade out on various individual tracks. I know how to delete each individually but be nice to know how to get rid of all in one. Thanks Mark

Hey I'm hoping someone can direct towards some good VST amp simulators for guitar...preferably free. The primary sounds I'm looking for are a very minor distortion (just off clean) akin to the sound on Iggy pops 'Passenger' I'm also struggling to find a nice smooth distortion with good...

Hey...I've finally got round to getting some of my music online. This album is about 15 years old but I thought I'd put it up as I've just gone back to recording after a 10 year break...not expecting anyone to critique the whole album but I'm interested in what folk make of the dynamics and mix...

Hi I'm a little way into my first test track using reaper. All going ok so far...drum track along with bass and a few guitars + effects. I was struggling to hear any Fx during recording but I think I missed a toggle on the arm button to sort the monitoring so will check that soon. I'm now...

Hi...just dipping my toe in DAWS with reaper and looking for some free effects and simulators to have a go with as it doesn't come preloaded with that many. For starter recommendations I'd like some: -A good set of various amp simulators. I've only ever used those that came loaded on my old...

Hi I'm looking for suggestions for a midi keyboard that can plug into my PCs USB port . I'll be using Reaper as my DAW. It needs to be compact so a 32 key board perfect. I'm new to midi so hard to say exactly what I'm looking for capability wise...as a starting point...velocity sensitive, a...

Hi Just wondering how many drum kit vst's reaper comes preloaded with and how easy they are to programme for a non drummer?...Aside from my old Boss drum machine, my only experience of sequencing drums is in the bandlab android app..cant seem to attach a screen shot but basically...kit...

Hi I'm brand new to DAWs and midi and just need to clear a thing or two up before I decide what to go for as the way it works is a bit of a mystery to me. In the past I've always done bass and keyboards on instuments through a line in to my recorder, but I'd now like to be able to tap out bass...

Hi... Is it possible to import a wav file into a track on reaper and then shift it a matter of milliseconds or more either way to sync with other tracks...I don't need to know how at the moment, just making sure it's possible. Thanks Mark

Hi I used to record on a stand alone digital recorder korg D1200 but after a long break I've started looking at upgrading to PC or mac based recording on a DAW. I've started off messing around on the bandlab DAW (not cakewalk by bandlab) because it has an android app which I can use to tap...

I'm looking to record some basic demos in bandlab android app using a focusrite solo audio interface. My phone is a samsung Galaxy S9. Anyone used their phone in this way and how were the results? Regards Mark
