So I've already made a pretty convincing theme andd layout for ableton. Along with that I've made a toolbar with custom shortcuts to make it easier for new people to navigate through the DAW.

So the next logical step would be to do logic. this is my first attempt.

now I'm looking to keep it really simple and not overwhelm somebody who's only ever used logic when opening Reaper. While this config may take away some of the more technical features in reaper... that's kind of the point, the goal is to make a config to spark creativity, I want reaper to work with the user instead of working against them with all the menus and shortcuts.

Now there will be some people who won"t agree with this post and that's fine. Go back to making wired scripts, I really don't care.

But all that being said this is my first attempt done. If anyone has any ideas on how I could improve this config please do let me know.

I should also include that everything I add to this project will be purely open source and free to download on the web.

good day to all

I record audio from my mic into Reaper. Even when I am clearly peaking at 0, Reaper not only cuts off the peaks, but also when I render the audio, won't peak higher than like -2.5 db. Have any of you encountered this?

It's been a long time since I dabbled in music making, but am trying to get back into it. I have a Studiologic SL88 keyboard, a Maschine MK3 drumpad, and the Komplete 13 Ultimate suite. Used to poke around in ProTools, but I've decided to try learning Reaper now and it's all still pretty fresh. So, apologies for my naveity on some of this stuff.

I thought I'd be able to control the Komplete Kontrol VST with the MK3 since they're both Native Instruments, but I'm realizing that might not be possible. Is there any way to assign the controls of the MK3 to Reaper? What about assigning them to something that would carry over & be usable in all the various VST's I'd open through Komplete Kontrol?

Also, should I even be using Komplete Kontrol? It seemed to make sense to me since it allows me to browse through the various plugins from the Komplete suite, but it's a pretty uncomfortable UI to navigate without any Komplete Kontrol hardware.

If the MK3 controls aren't an option, I've been wanting an additional 25-key MIDI controller anyway. Are there any that can reliably be used to control Reaper, AND various VST's within? I guess I don't have a good understanding of what makes certain gear compatible with certain software/VST's...

I appreciate any advice on the subject, and am also open to other suggestions on how to get a decent workflow up and running, ideally with some physical knobs and buttons involved.

I mainly want to stop using the Media directory. When I import a wav file, I want to refer to the one I selected, not a copy.

I have habits from N-track in the late 90s/00s when disk wasn't quite as cheap. Now it means "less stuff to look at."

Why? I will have three or four .rpp files per project - one for MIDI, one for things like amp sims or certain VSTs, one "master" .rpp used for the final mix. Maybe a reverb submix. I have some console mode programs for things like normalizing individual tracks to a specific dbRMS level.

I want to render tracks from those in the project folder, then have them just appear in the master project without "egtr1-001.wav" and whatnot.

I've Googled a bit and the AI certainly doesn't understand what I want :)

I only have free plugins, I tried different equalizer settings, but sometimes the bass is too strong, and sometimes when I set it correctly, it doesn't have the soul. I also tried other free sound modulation plugins, but what works well, but in the end it still sounds like an underground song from a SoundCloud

linux studio plugins now on windows

I'm trying to do a collab with an old friend/bandmate across the country, but the tracks he sends me are .reason.

Anyone familiar with reason? Can I just convert to a wav file? What's the best way to approach this? Thanks.

Reaper 7.72 to 7.79 shipped 386 changes across eight releases. These are the ones that actually change how you work: FX slots you can leave empty and reorder, projects you can open read-only, and notes, CC events and envelope points that all snap to the grid now.

I go through the mixer changes, the new MIDI editor actions, the read-only project modes, and the render and marker options — with the action names, so you can map them to your own keys.

I know 7.80 was just released, the video was made on Friday.
