Reaper users, do you know how lucky you are to have Kenny Gioia? In the Avid world, the manufacturer you give 2, 10, or $50,000, wants you to know none of this. Just buy their stuff over and over and shut up about it. The contempt relationship of Avid support simply cannot be believed. Here, instead, Kenny brings to your attention on a regular basis answers before you need them, and presents them in a way no manual can even touch. Pro Tools complexity is certainly on a par with Reaper’s. The big difference is, with Avid, it’s all a big secret if you run into trouble, whether simple or arcane. I salute you Kenny!

Thank you for this because I have tried to explain this to people but they just don't get it. You make my life simple just by showing them your video. Thanks a million Kenny. I posted your video for the world to see.

Thank you again, Kenny. You keep making me glad I purchased reaper and use it as my main DAW.

I'm still evaluating but I plan to buy Reaper. That is thanks to Kenny alone. Other DAW support can't compare when it comes to Kenny's enlightened and well executed videos!

This is by far one of the most important features of reaper. Thank you !!

I always thought I played a bit after the beats for some reason, I was never able to play better through the metronome(at least I thought). After doing this, I found I'm actually very good at keeping up with the tempo. This gave me a lot more of confidence and helped with my musician self-esteem by A LOT. I was off by 500-something samples. Thank you, Kenny! You're the man!

Years using Reaper and adjusting all almost by "ear", thank you Kenny! Keep teaching, I'll keep learning!

This is a rare content nobody could explain it, Except Kenny Jioia in a Reaper Mania. Thank You. You are Just a Saver.

This video has revolutionised my recording. The auto detect feature on my DAW gave the latency as 0.2ms whereas after doing this test I realised it was 3.8ms. No wonder all my tracks sounded off! If only I had figured this out earlier! I can't thank you enough for helping me to make this great leap forward. Now the tracks sound in sync.

That's a very much low latency anyway. It seems you're able to say there's a difference. I'm in awe!

This is fantastic, Kenny! A practical method to determine the actual latency instead of my trial and error attempts at nudging the track back or forwards a few milliseconds at a time (and still not getting it quite right). This really is excellent - thanks heaps!

Kenny I have no words to describe how much you helped me in my music production journey with Reaper. Honestly, you are BRILLIANT!

I just ran this test on my setup, found it to be 16 samples off, corrected now! That was a small amount, but big enough to make a difference, THANKS Kenny! What a great test.

Wow, what a great tutorial. I am a ProTools user, but using Reaper as a second option, and using it on a mobility recording laptop. Knowing how to properly calibrate Reaper's latency in this very easy to understand way is awesome - Thank you!

🤯 Kenny is amazing! The things I've learned from him alone has saved years of time.

So glad to have seen this. I must have done this kind of set up a few years back with a different and much older audio interface. It was way off. The Scarlett on its own gets me to around 0.4 milliseconds, an easy adjustment. But when we think about latency in real life, it's not a hard wired loopback that we're dealing with. It's signal to monitors or headphones, through our ears and brains, eventually to our fingers, to the articulations of our instrument, which can then be captured in real-time through the audio interface. Latency is complicated. But it's good to get that last half millisecond taken care of where we can because it all adds up.

Thank you Kenny for all this useful information, We as a community can't thank you enough!!

That's just brilliant. I'd read about these tests before, but they sounded so freaky, I would have a major anxiety attack it I tried them, so I never did. That's because I'd been given abstract instruction, with assumptions about my ability or pre-existing knowledge, but I had never been shown how to do them. Now I know.

Incredible trick, as always... Ty Kenny, we all love you.

Wow .. this is gold and such a Pro Hack for peek performance. Kenny you are the man !!!!!! Hands down you provide the BEST content for Reaper by a long shot !!!! Thank you

Awesome tip Kenny. Just run this on my setup and the interface drivers were actually reporting very close - actually over-reporting the latency. I've had to enter -14 samples to get a match!

You make this look like it's completely logical yet I would never have come up with this myself. Thanks man!

Adjusting interface latency like this makes the world of change for everybody but especially for idiots like me who use a lot of external hardware and resample through it. This video is a must see for everyone using Reaper. Thank you so much, Kenny! Awesome channel with so much great info on how to use Reaper.

I just did my tests with your Kenny way. I have an allen & heat mixer that showed over 1000 samples. I fixed the delay. thank you very much

Thanks for this video. I try to route to outboard gear and record that to a new track but there is latency I want to avoid. Your approach is exactly what I was thinking of doing but didn't know how to do the the settings in Reaper. Thanks!

Yes once again this is a video from Kenny that could not be clearer about what to do but at the same time gives all the background on why that you need. He's in danger of becoming a bit of a (international) treasure I fear!

Kenny you a gift. Thankyou for everything you do. ❤️

yet again you've helped me fix a reoccurring issue (very much a pain in my behind) tysm man god bless u

Just can't thank you enough Mr. Gioia... Great Stuff!

Thanks Kenny, I’m overdue in adjusting mine and this is just what I needed!

Very important and useful tutorial/instruction video! Thank you, Kenny!

I spent years with this problem, and i never found a solution so i had to get used to offset my tracks manually, thanks a lot for this information 🙌🙌

Man this helped me so damn much, I was getting frustrated with this latency. This video solved my issues, much thank you Kenny. I AM SUBSCRIBING!!

my scarlet solo was only ~15 samples off after it adjusted to reported latency, but still worth it to have no doubt that the timeline is exactly as I heard it. thank you Kenny!

OMFG - I just did this and it is freakin' brilliant! I salute you Mr. G!!!!

Yo, seriously brother. Great video! Thank you Kenny. You're really the GOAT!

Kenny Gioia you are a genius!! Thank you very much for sharing all this knowledge, we learn a lot thanks to your generosity. Greetings from Argentina!

Hi Kenny, thanks for all the lessons to the community. You sure deserve more... Now, this one means that if we make this right we can record with monitoring on or do i miss something. Sorry if this is a stupid Q but i am new to this! Thanks again!

Just one thing - make sure you turn OFF all monitoring FX , if using headphone output as this adds about 2500 samples latency in some cases ( things like Metric AB , sonarworks etc ) - but this is gold i found my system was out by 68 samples at 48 k 32bit 128 block . thanks alot Kenny

Thanks 1000 Kenny! You are always the best.

Thank you Kenny for this very important video helps a lot to not have latency in our recordings!!!

Thank you Kenny! My new interface is somehow having a negative latency with the reported latency on, -16 samples. This just fixed that. Thank you!!

My interface is spot on, but its nice to know how i can adjust it. Never heard of this feature, thnx!

Thank you!!! This video really solve a big problem of mine for years!!!

Great video! just tried with my apogee symphony mk1 and the reported latency is perfect!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was driving me crazy! I thought that my "internal" timing was way off!

Great information. Thank you Kenny!

Thanks Kenny, love your channel, helps out A LOT. Big hugs, cheers!

Great video and I was able to fix my latency problem almost instantly thanks to your help

I love you Kenny. Seriously.

Thanks Kenny... It's so good to know..

only you have the solution.. wasted my time watching other junk videos.. thank you sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wohhooo. that is great. Thx as always Kenny!

Excellent, thank you so much Kenny !

Reaper and Kenny Gioia is magic

As always, Great video Kenny. Thanks.

I did my loopback test ...and found out that my latency came from a manual output offset...which was delayed by 61 samples earlier than the sample I used... I put in my output manual offset by -61 samples...and now everything is correct as it should be. Thanks Kenny Gioia!

Kenny you are the best man...

Very useful as always! keep it up!

Great professional video!

I tried this test and my interface was actually reporting the correct latency! However, the test track is recording exactly out of phase from the source. I rendered a MIDI kick note to a mono wave file and did the test from that. I have the channel set to Phase Normal. Has anyone seen this? Edit: I knew I'd find as soon as I posted - ugh! Long story short: the wave was changing phase at the interface. I found that changing the input from Line to Instrument/Guitar put the wave back in phase. I hope that helps someone.

Thank you for sharing your mad knowledge! You're a legend mate

I'll be attempting this tomorrow..thanks

Thank you.... for this info.... I will.... be sure.................. to try it.......... out!

Hey bro, didnt you noticed that your recorded guitar tracks seems to be earlier ahead of the click track? I have that problem and it’s so annoying

super helpful tutorial! Thank you

This is wonderful, thanks!

this is exactly what I needed. while recording overdub in the 2nd, 3rd, etc tracks, can we hear the previously recorded tracks in the monitor speakers and / or headphones? I'd like to hear the formerly recorded tracks, so that I can play another instrument over that.

Awesome. Thanks, Kenny.

Awesome video Kenny. Be safe..

While I'm very grateful for this help I'm well over my head on many of the technical functions mentioned here. I wish you'd made one video for PC's and one for Macs as I struggle to follow as it switches back and forth. One example is at 1:19 for a Mac with block size checked and 48000 sample rate but unchecked and 1:53 for a PC with block size unchecked and sample rate checked 44100. So this sent me off trying to figure out what my settings there should be. For people like me, that are just barely hanging on as they try to follow, this combination of Mac and PC made it more complicated. Thanks for the advice though.

Awesome Tip... Thanks man!!

You are the man! Thanks so much!

Thank you Kenny 🎈
