I have attached pre- and post- freeze screenshots. There is no difference as the track did not freeze. When I click on the FX icon after my freeze attempt, the FX show as in pre-freeze. Also, if I try to unfreeze, the unfreeze option is greyed out (as expected as the track did not freeze). I...

The Freeze option in Reaper seems very simple indeed. However, when I try to use it, it simply does not work. I click in the track TCP, go to Track/Render Freeze and Freeze to mono. Nothing happens. I tried also using the FX display for the track and r-click on the lowest level FX. Again...

If it is any help to you, I have prepared a 20 page summary of Reaper commands/actions covering just about everything I need to record/mix/ master etc. This is (I think) a good summary of the 700-page official manual. If you want it I can attach it to a reply from you. This forum has been...

I am using Reaper V6. In a current project I have moved a Region (first time I have ever done this). When I did this, the project became noisy (like a severely scratched 45" record - I'm an old-timer). I listened to each track separately and each one was noisy - even those parts which were...

Should have explained: in the Theme Adjuster the settings were set so that when the Mixer was shown, the Pan knobs would be hidden - not unreasonable !

Problem solved !! I am using a V6. I went into Theme Adjustor and unclicked Hide as appropriate. Many thanks for your inputs, guys. Brian

When I say I record in mono, I mean that I use a single mic, or guitar plugged into the audio interface. I never indicate to the system that I am recording in stereo. So far, everything worked fine and the panning did what it is supposed to do. I simply assumed that, as I was putting in a...

Fact is, I have never noticed the Mono/Stereo icon at the top of the screen until today. I record in mono and have been able to pan up until now. I changed the Mono/Stereo to Stereo and this did not bring back the Pan knobs. I am rather mystified as to why they suddenly went away - I did not...

I have set up a second video monitor and it works fine. However, when I open an existing project the panning knob is not there. Also, when I open a new track, shown in Panning 1 below, it shows panning to the centre (in words), but no way to change it. I have shown also the Mono setting as...

Did this and it works perfectly. Many thanks, guys ! Brian

I am using a (small-screen) laptop for Reaper. I have just bought a 27inch monitor which looks great. (Unlike some folks, I am happy with using a small screen with a large screen). What I wish to do is (a) have my TCP with tracks in the small screen and the mixer in the larger screen and (b)...

Thanks, Spantini. Did as you suggested. Works just fine. Many thanks, Brian

Yes. That is the arrangement I am looking for (in Reaper). I have reverted to a high 6 version (due to the theme adjuster being unavailable for the earlier 7 versions). Thanks, Brian

I would like to arrange my floating mixer with each fader extending up the full length of the screen. Instead, I have the "double-decker" arrangement shown below. Is it possible to have all faders full length even if the number of faders is such that they may extend beyond the left or right of...

Thanks for all the comments guys. I am learning all the time (with much help for you !) Despite my many learning problems, I still think that Reaper is superb value for $60. One day I might even produce my masterpiece !! Brian

I suppose it should have been obvious !!! However, by perseverance I finally figured it out. Sometime the instruction videos omit these simple little things, which, for a first time user, can really halt progress. Brian

I have figured it out: The pre-roll counts back from the position of the cursor (vertical green line). This was not mentioned by anyone of the videos I looked at. Also, need to untick "Count in before recording".

Follow-up: I tried the metronome settings shown below also i.e. I de-selected the pre-recording choice and used the pre-roll choice. In this case, when I pressed Record, it went right back to the beginning of the track and did a 2-bar pre-record delay. I am very confused. Brian

I am doing punch-in for the first time. I recorded a test track of 7 bars. I punched-in the 6th bar successfully. However, I have set up the metronome as shown. I had expected the pre-roll to start at bar 4. However, when I hit "record" the pre-roll went right back to the beginning of the...

In any case, I really appreciate your help. You always seem ready to offer assistance. You make this forum worthwhile. Many thanks, Brian
