During a fresh install, how do you do this? I was able to eventually figure this out in v4, but with v5 I keep getting all the supplied FX plus my own lost to each other in a grand mess leaving me once again stuck in the gate. Cookbook me through this in the simplest most generic way, please...

I have a lot of guitars, most of which I never play. Here's one. Bought it new years ago because it was on long sale and I was curious about the B-Bender, which is an "option" I cannot recommend against getting strongly enough. Strap-actuated benders are incredibly hard to play properly. I...

Note VLC was installed on this machine at the outset, to no effect. VLC is the preferred codec set for Reaper -- but wouldn't work for this media type on this machine.

Well, I loaded both of these in, rebooted and it worked. So, you were right about this simple fix...but I'll still never understand why all the other installations of Reaper didn't need these same codecs to work. :confused: I'm not going to worry about it, though. Many thanks for your help! :)

That's the error message I get when I get a message. I'll try this, can't hurt, though it still seems strange that different installations don't have the problem just using VLC codecs. But if works, I'll try. You have no idea how many "experts" I've lit up about this and they're all stumped...

I still don't see how this can logically make any difference when the Reaper installations that are accepting the file are using the identical codecs as the ones that are rejecting it. :confused:

I'll try it, but I'm pretty sure this isn't it. We'll see...thanks.

According to a power user and one of the authors of the program, this mess is supposedly due to there being a default program for opening the media file type. I haven't tried to work this out yet (because it's simply too hot this afternoon to fire up an 8-core space heater mess with it), but...

Don't worry about "sounding like" some amp in the first place. Concern yourself with getting a good-sounding bass track within the context of the finished piece. Doesn't matter how you get it.

Where is that in the menu?

But it DOES import the media file into a track?

Those are good points. I'll try.

The "missing codec" of course seems to be the obvious answer, but I can't imagine how, because all of these installations that work and don't work are running VLC, and I've done absolutely nothing to manually mess with with the codec on any of them. The .MP4 file plays perfectly well on all...

Well, if you can figure this out, I'd be grateful for a solution. The official Reaper forum seems stumped and I've spent about the last sixteen hours on it with no luck. :(

Good luck with it! :)

This is 100% what's going on with me. I had forgotten that I'd had XP on the previous box. The new box has W7 and the MP4 file either errors out or it shows a 1-second file with the right file name and no content. However, the W7 laptop with a dummy install of Reaper 4.6-something will load...

Insert>Media-Item just gets me errors on my new installation of v4.78 on my new computer. I'm trying to stick an .MP4 into a track, which I was able to do with the previous installation and can do with the dummy default installation of an older version on my laptop. You're supposed to be able...

Sorry, no idea.

One (1)...and I think it was probably longer than fifteen minutes. Again, I think this may have had to do with the defective (or damaged) SD card. I don't know -- but the whole SD proprietary formatting and geeky forced partitioning weirdness completely confuses me and seems poorly explained...
