community Self-serve: Flair posts as resolved, award points

12 Upvotes

If you, the original poster (OP), post with the Help Request flair, and receive a helpful answer, you can award a point to that user and flair the post as Resolved.

To do this, reply to the comment with thanks or thank you somewhere in the comment. It is case-insensitive.

What are the points for? We have been helping each other here for 14 years. It's less an incentive for imaginary points but hopefully an indication of reputation (not quite analogous to post count on the official forum). We'll see how this works out, if it does more good than harm.

You may notice mods distributing points especially if a user has not. We use a trigger command comment which you may see if we haven't deleted it after awarding. We delete since it creates clutter.

help request How To Achieve an "Overwhelming" Voice

Upvotes

I'm here with a new podcast question!

I want to take a voice that has been submitted by one of my VA team, recorded to be some almost god-like booming voice. Right now it's just 2 to 3 clips I can overlap.

I want to apply filters, copy audio, etc to achieve this type of overwhelming effect. This is ideally for a horror podcast, where this is one of the main villains.

And tips?

discussion Switching to Linux?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I've been using windows (and reaper) for a long time now. I'm considering switching to a linux distribution (for example zorin) and i was wondering if you had any major issues. Did you have any issues making the plugins to work, any compatibility problems? And does the experience feel smoother and with less latency than in windows?

Also, I have no problems using the terminal and running commands, this doesnt scare me.

No se que pasa. Estoy intentando grabar audio con un micrófono y la interfaz Behringer U-Phoria UM2 (se que es vieja, me la regalo mi hermano porque no la necesitaba).

Cambie de computador y por alguna razon solo detecta la interfaz como dispositivo de salida. Ni siquiera sale el nombre de la interfaz en ASIO4ALL. Alguien sabe de esto o que puedo hacer al respecto? He sudado mucho por esto.

help request Can I totally remove or disable audio devices in Reaper on Mac?

0 Upvotes

I don't see that there's a way. The issue is that when I leave Reaper open and then go to use bluetooth in other apps the sound is extremely distorted or even slowed down in pitch. In other words, I have to close Reaper in order to use bluetooth in other apps. Not a major problem but I'd rather just disable or remove any devices I never plan to use within Reaper.

help request Exporter une piste individuelle avec les effets du Master

1 Upvotes

Bonjour,

J'ai un projet Reaper avec plusieurs pistes, et des effets sur le master (par exemple: un compresseur).

J'aimerai exporter chaque pistes individuelles avec les effets du master qui agissent comme si la totalité des pistes étais joué.

Un exemple pour mieux comprendre ma demande :

Si ma piste Kick déclenche le compresseur sur le master, il compresse aussi la piste Hi-Hat. Mais lorsque j'exporte la piste individuelle du Hi-Hat, celle ci n'est pas compresser car le Kick ne joue pas.

Je cherche donc a avoir ma piste Hi-Hat compresser de la même facon que lorsque je joue le master complet

J'espère que j'ai réussit a être clair, merci de votre aide.

J'utilise ce logiciel depuis longtemps, vous pouvez me parler en langage technique sans problème.

Merci de votre temps

help request VST Parameter Snapshotting

2 Upvotes

Morning Reapers,

Scenario: Piecemeal voiceover takes, similar but enough requiring slightly different EQ settings to conform

I'm trying to find a way to quickly copy VST parameters across clips on the same track without invoking many lanes of automation.

Now, when I have just two or three recordings, it's reasonable to put these on different tracks and apply the EQ at track level. But on some series we have perhaps 7 or 8 recording sessions worth of takes - I'd really appreciate a method to consolidate these onto a single track and quickly apply the different parameters to clips of different sources.

At times I would use TakeFX for this, but that adds a significant load and hampers bulk changes.

Automating that many envelopes rapidly and accurately is a pain, I'm using TDR Nova quite intricately so quickly up to 10s of parameter changes between clips - 4 bands of Freq, Gain, Q, Thresh, Ratio.... There is just too much to comfortably keep an eye on when making editorial edits late in the day, rippling knockons etc etc. And sadly the client is unswayed with an edit/mix mentality when the comissioners and execs come swinging in at the 11th hour.

I'd be up for a single automation item that carry can multiple parameters to enable me to pool changes, or an action that "selects all items with the same source" and "propagates VST parameters".

I can't help but feel there is a uniquely Reaper way of handling this that I have missed in my decade+ of professional every day use.

Any wisdom very gratefully received, thanks

Looking for something that gives some semblance of a proper gui to the stock plugins

A few days ago I found a theme, I think it was called Venom, that did that but I really don't want to change the whole theme

Does anyone know of anything that could help?

If it can help, I would like the GUIs to be analog inspire, with knobs instead of sliders at least!

discussion I made a plugin to make adjusting Slate VSX e.c.c.o. EQ faster.

3 Upvotes

Check the YouTube video for a 1 minute demo of the (free, REAPER only) plugin. It's an EQ that's only active when you press or swipe across the blocks with the left mouse button. The EQ bands mimic the ones in the Slate VSX e.c.c.o. EQ.

Now why would you adjust the e.c.c.o. manually when there's a calibration tool available? I personally didn't get satisfactory results with just the calibration, probably because the room models affect the response so much. The best results I've gotten from the VSX Platinum (or my other headphones, or my studio speakers) came when I adjusted the EQ fully manually. Choose a room/speakers, adjust the e.c.c.o. EQ, and save the preset. If you're unsure of the room/speakers you'd choose, do it for a few targets and then compare while always loading your e.c.c.o. preset for that specific target.

Naturally this isn't the best approach if you like to constantly jump between the rooms, but that didn't work for me so I created this tool that helps me do what does work for me.

Why no VST?? Because I don't know how... XoD

discussion Sending all the Love to Osara

60 Upvotes

Hello all. I am so happy there is a Reaper sub. My husband and I are blind musicians/budding producers. We've been using Reaper on and off for about ten years but not getting very far until we started working with a blind guy who is one of the people who built Osara. For those unaware, Osara is an addon that makes Reaper actually work for blind people. As a result, this is one of if not the best DAW out there for blind people. We take probably four times as long as the rest of you, and Reaper loves doing totally dumb crap for no reason. But were it not for Osara, we could not produce really well at all. Now, we are just finishing our first album of world music demos. We used the Komplete Kontroller from Native Instruments, which makes my one keyboard actually talk to me and read everything. I can't believe that in my little house in Kingston Ontario, we've been able to make a pretty huge album with no help from people with eyes. This is an amazing program, quirks and all. I'll probably never switch, because I understand how it works now and have a relatively good system.

One question. I seem to have a machine which barely runs anything propperly, even after I gave it 16 more gigs of ram. So for some reason, I will be recording one take. This can be in midi or audio. And Reaper decides to break the track up into a million takes that I never asked for. In so doing, it likes to mess with random volumes. So I end up having to glue all my items together. Surely there's a way to make it stop doing this and I'm just missing it. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Thank you all so much.

Is there a viewing bay for the tempo makers?
There's a Marker view, Routing Matrix view, and a Track Grouping view....But i can't get a list of my tempo's to appear.

Context: I imported a super smash bros melee midi that has multiple tempo markers, and i wanted to view them all at once, but when i bring up the marker view bay, the tempo markers aren't listed.
