its interesting that there arent any classes for reaper usage, there is Ableton, Fruity Loops, Garageband and Logic. No Acid, Bitwig, Cubase, Reaper, Reason, Samplitude or Tracktion... I think I should put something up there for the desktop publishing scene to represent for Gen X.

if this guy and kenny got in the same room together the weight of combined reaper knowledge would rip a hole in the spacetime continuum

They should start channels so we know who not to let them in the same room 😂

The two settings I'd add that I think every user should really look to incorporate are: 1. Editing Behavior -> MIDI Editor -> A) "One MIDI Editor: Per Project", B) "open all MIDI on Same Track." I was surprised not to see that on the list. The per item default is insane IMO. 2. Mouse Modifiers -> Arrange View -> Middle Drag - set this to Hand Scroll. Use Shift to Jog Audio. Way faster to navigate projects with middle drag and not having to worry about a modifier. I'd also suggest people think long and hard about: 3. Project -> Track/Send Defaults -> Record Config -> "Preserve PDC on Recorded Items." Super important! If you want what you heard out of your speakers while you were recording to be what's played back, then enable this. If you want what you physically played (without the PDC), to be what's played back, keep this off. The former is what your ears heard, the latter/default is what your fingers did. Some people will prefer one over the other, but I feel like that's an important one for every user to know.

First two points are great! I had a hard time understanding #3 though and found a forum post on the forum about it. Supposedly without it enabled, the delay from processing and monitoring round-trip will cause your recordings to always seem slightly off-time. The setting applies compensation for these effects in your recording. But it might be such a small amount that it doesn't cause problems for most people. Seems like a good setting!

This is a brilliant tutorial--thank you so much. Once again, you've hit the ball out of the park in a well-organized and clear lesson. One million brownie points to you, good sir!

great, great video, thanks a lot Jon! even after using Reaper for years, there's always something new to learn, don't hesitate to make second part of the video if you feel there's more to cover in the fresh setup :D

Great stuff as always - After several years of REAPER, I still found a couple more tweaks hidden here. Thanks John!

Sure appreciate this in-depth walk through. Saw stuff I was unaware of, and learned how to change things I didn't like. Two thumbs up!

That envelope segment mouse modifier is amazing. Great tip thats saved me loads of time. Thanks Jon.

This video is huge for me Jon and perfect timing. Setting up a new computer started yesterday. Thank you very much. I'm going set it up exactly how you have yours, in case I ever need to ask a question I'll be on the same settings.

GOD BLESS you. THis is everything I've ever wanted/needed from the reaper community

20:24 is the best tip I've come across among all the Reaper vids I've watched thus far.

Been using reaper for something like 14 years and still got a lot of value out of this video, thank you!

I'm glad for my pause button! So much useful information, I have to watch it again and take notes. Thank you very much for your videos!

Thank you for this! This is so helpful and I return to it time and time again. A must watch for new and not so new Reaper users,

always good every so often to clean house and start fresh. You never know what a new workflow might achieve. thanks for sharing the knowledge

Thank you for your excellent tutorial. It certainly helped me to more fully understand the power of Reaper's actions and be systematic. I'll be watching the other videos

I've been using Reaper solidly since 2007 and I learned a lot from this video. Thanks Jon!

Thank you for everything you do. You're videos are nothing short of inspiring. Be well

Hi - I'm migrating to Reaper from Cubase and was feeling overwhelmed by the number of config options. Thank you so much for making this video, which has really helped me to understand not just how to set up Reaper but also its extensive capabilities. Brilliant!!!

very nice and also inspiring advice to make Reaper even more efficient for yourself. It also saves hours of reading the manual. Thank you very much.

nailed it. So many updates, so many stuff but a recap of useful elementary settings was what we needed (or atleast I needed). Thanks !

This video have been so helpful for me. I've taken all of the steps you said. It looks much better now. Thanks for sharing this with KZread audio community!

Awesome tutorial! Really gets me set off with reaper and music production in general as reaper is my first DAW :D!

Thank you SO much for this Jon! I'm fairly new to Reaper 6 and this was a game changer!!

just switching our entire facility over to Reaper from Pro Tools and this was a lifesaver for me! Especially the mouse wheel settings section...thanks so much!

I learn stuff from you every time. Thank you so much!

Thank you! These tweaks made Reaper much more responsive.

i just had to format and set up my computer from scratch, just made me realize how many things in Reaper I have changed from the default. :) Thanks for the video, watched all of it in one go, gave me a couple good ideas on how to optimize my workflow. Also I have never experimented with block size at all, will read up on that!

This video is great informational resource. Thanks for uploading it.

Incredibly helpful tutorial. Thanks for doing this.

Great video! To add a new track you can also just double click in the empty track panel space. Super handy and quick. Cheers!

Another killer episode! Thank you!

what an incredibly detailed video! thank you so much. It's like i never knew half of what Reaper could do! Shane, clonmel, Tipperary, Ireland

Great vid! I ended up referencing your video with Joey Sturgis a ton when I was learning Reaper last year.

Great video and top info as usual. Awesome job! Cheers

I think tuning reaper is a never ending journey ! From time to time I found a feature I want and find a path for it, what I like more is the fact that it grow with your needs, habits and new jobs! No other daw can match that feeling of accomodations of your needs

Absolutely. Im a very much beginner and slowly progressing. reaper just grows with me. Its insane what it can do but it can be simple also

Wow that mouse modifier that lets you adjust the envelopes just within a time selection is amazing. I almost cried thinking about how many years I must’ve wasted by adding those points manually.

This is gold. Thank you sir.

Thank you so much for the update. Much appreciated

Thanks Jon! Great video! I learned a lot even though I'm years into the program :)

Really great video. Thanks!

This is insane!!!! Great video!!!!

Awesome video. This helped me so very much.

This was so helpful. Thank you.

Wow, Jon - I was going to list the couple of things that were the big takeaways for me - but the list got too long, lol. As I work in MIDI 90% of the time these days - finally being able to default my track input is such a timesaver for me. Thank you so much for this. Oh - and everyone - Don't forget to back up your APP DATA folder!!!

Valuable words of advice. I’m new to Reaper, so I’ll be checking that out. Thanks! 🙏

dude this was so helpful! Thanks so much!!!

100% Superb video, thank you.

Thanks a lot for this video. Regarding peaks, I just click that option in the project settings that creates a peaks folder inside the "audio files" folder that you create under each project (in my case, I just name it "audio" like Kenny Gioia). That automatically organizes the peaks by project, just like the audio files, and prevents Reaper from re-creating those peaks everytime in new folders in case you transfer the project from its original place. Also, it's so relieving to set editing behavior to "beats position only" by default... stretching things is seldom something I'd use (unless you want to use that old technique of recording slower to playback faster haha). The midi/item loop behavior is also something so annoying, it's better to just turn it off like you did. And I always wanted to know how to show cpu/ram use in a small fashion, without the pop up window, and it's so simple! hah! Such a thorough video as always, thank you for this. I'll be revisiting all my preferences!

Your Video's are excellent Very Helpful Thankyou!

Love your tips. Thanks a lot.

Beautifull. Tweaking reaper is an art on it self

I watched, I paused, I rewound and I altered. Thanks for the tips, awesome!

Very helpful, thanks!

thanks for this....really useful.

great tut.. thank you

Thank you very much, very appreciated!!

Very good tutorial, ty a lot

WOW!!!!! Thank you for this!!!!!

@24:30 Was waiting to see the "Force project tempo/time signature changes to occur on whole samples" parameter. This is the reason I stopped using Reaper for production and went back to Ableton. When enabled I get a .999 or .002 tempo decimal, which for long audio files, it starts with the file being on the grid and then slowly drifts off the grid. When disabled and using hardware MIDI instruments, when Reaper loops at the time selection, all MIDI sync goes off. Also would be nice to investigate MIDI Devices as offsetting the MIDI clock there to anything larger than approx 50ms, does not actually implement the offset, regardless of larger values. Great videos, thanks.

Thanks, very useful!!

Actually not long enough!!! Helped a bunch.

Big thanks 🙌

awesome! thank you so much!

Amazing thank you!

Good one!

Thanks a lot .reaper is now stable to control Video length is not a problem . Everyone need info that's all I like it that part Make video like this . I am here too. Keep it on

Awesome!

Thank you!

Awesome thanks

Cool Pelican Tee!

Thank you! Just trying Reaper for the first time, and was sent over here by #Can'tAffordToRecord (also very helpful!). Spent the last three hours going through this with Reaper open too, this was aa great help, and it's made me a lot more confident in giving the system a try now, having seen so much of the 'under-the-hood' whilst setting up! Look forward to putting it through it's paces over the weekend! Thanks again :)

thank you!

My favorite Reaper tech is to just get rid of every single keyboard shortcut and just use my own. It's a bit cumbersome to have to reinstate things like Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X, but it's beyond frustrating when you want to add a new shortcut but almost every single combination is already taken. I find it just more convenient to clean that up instead of trying to be mindful of what I replace and what I don't.

Absolutely brilliant video ...... just a suggestion though, may have been a good idea to suggest saving the theme. I didn't, and lost most of the adjustments I made ..... corrected now. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

absolutely right. Good catch.

I'm getting a new PC soon and I can't decide if I want to transfer my settings or start fresh. There's definitely advantages and disadvantages to both.

GRACIAS!

Thanks for your work. In the action list/ 6.0 theme adjuster I only get the colors and global page, all the other pages like track control panel, mixer control panel do not show.

Awesome video, some of the tings that used to frustrate me have been answered here. Thanks for this

This is a great video! My reaper doesn't allow me to zoom out more than 100% however yours is beautifully zoomed out. Does this depend on the actual screen resolution?

Fantastic video! There is no way to use the horizontal mousewheel to scroll left/right in the MCP, right? Most DAWs, if you hover over the mixer and scroll left/right, the mixer will scroll, as opposed to the arrange window. Reaper appears to not have any preferences or mouse modifiers to enable this behavior.

I was making a beat on the latest version of reaper and in a specific time of the music in the project there's a buzz sound and the daw freezes a bit. There's only 3 or 4 instruments so its not loaded and taking a hit on cpu or RAM. Any guess about what is it?

Thank you for this as i am about to embark on a fresh install.. I dont know if you remember i had asked about an xr18 freezing reaper when tryi g to record multi tracks... Well... Turns out it cant be the interface, because i hooked up my tascam us1800 and tried to record multi tracks and the same issue.. Anything more than 2 channels and it freezes reaper and crashes it.. So! Its either something in windows 10 on both my laptops or its some setting in reaper or something i selected in parameters or something i did or didnt do.. Any thoughts?

thanks

Is it possible to do polyrhythm within the MIDI editor?

It always bugged me that the fader lags in Reaper. So many great tips in one video.

14:41 Thank you!

This is so helpful. I have a (silly) question.. Once all these settings are configured, how do you save them so they will always act as the default? Thanks for the help!

As far as I can tell, preferences get saved when you close Reaper. In fact Reaper hung for me part-way through configuring my preferences, and they were lost when I reopened. So it's worth closing and reopening Reaper occasionally while you are reconfiguring so that the preferences are saved as you go along. For project settings, be sure to click "Save as default project settings" at the bottom right of the Project Settings window so the settings don't only apply to the current project.

This is gonna be the new reaper bible
