You might try “Consolidation” in Reaper - might be what you’re looking for. Not great in my case because I usually need to send different versions all at once / multiple times after revisions.

Hmmm is it sending to inputs 3-4? Or 1-2? If it’s going to 3-4, you just need to switch the input inside of the compressor plugin to “Auxiliary L/R” I’m also not at my computer so that might be a little wrong, but definitely should be sending to 3-4 on that track

@@ReaperTutorials yeah, that’s what the issue was. I feel like if you’re dragging a send to a plugin, it should do that automatically or at least ask you how you want it side chained

Yes! Depends on what you want to automate, but you can do a few things: - automate the “send level” of the track that is the source of the side chain to increase the intensity of the pumping effect. - you can automate any part of the compression effect. Sharing another video here that will walk through how that works: ua-cam.com/video/EWKp02kgOyo/v-deo.html

@@ReaperTutorials thanks so much!

It would be difficult, dynamic split will probably give you a lot of bad splits. For that, I’d probably use “stretch markers” for minor tweaks.

Of course! Thanks for commenting :)

Hey, sorry it took awhile to get back to you on this. Easiest way to explain is that a sidechain is going to "listen" to another track and adjust your plugin (whether it's EQ, Compression, etc.) based on what it hears in that other track. Let's imagine two tracks: Bass and Guitar. A sidechain EQ would be placed on the Guitar track (We want the EQ to affect the Guitar track). The sidechain EQ would "listen" to the bass, and if the bass goes above a certain volume threshold, the EQ will lower the bass frequencies in the Guitar track to make some room for the bass. ----- That's a simple example of what a Sidechain could do, but the general concept is that Sidechain can update parameters in your plugin based on what it's receiving from another track/tracks.

Yep! Works the same way

100% the Reaper devs are something special - the transparency they give into changelogs and the constant improvements. It’s such a great tool :’) I honestly thought it was open source for awhile, haha

Hi, I'm sorry it took me such a long time to get back to you on this. A few options for you here, depending on how your project is laid out. If your 'Tracks' are all using different effects, and need to be rendered with those different effects, you could use the 'Selected Items' dropdown. If your Tracks can all use the same effects, you can put them on a single track, add 'Regions' (which are basically Markers with a start/stop time) and use the "Region Render Matrix" to render all those Regions. ------------ Some of the ways I've used each of those options - I've used the 'Selected Items' option when I'm recording sound effects that I'm going to include in a sampler, it lets me just select the items I like and render them - I've used the 'Selected Tracks' option when I am sending my stems to someone else for mixing/remixing, so all the tracks can be dropped right in. - I've used the 'Regions' option when I'm doing session recording work (multiple recording cues that need exact timings, but I'm only recording bassoon). In this case, it's a huge time suck to open a new project for each cue, I'd rather have them all in one place so I can re-render easily, if needed.

@@ReaperTutorials Thanks very much for your informative reply, and for getting back to me.

I'm glad you live to play another day :)

Ooo that's a tricky one. .wav files usually work out of the gate. I'd start with uninstalling and reinstalling Reaper just to make sure you get a clean install. If it's still going on, you may check to see if you can open WAV files anywhere else on your computer (media players, etc.). If it's not opening anywhere else, it's going to require some digging. Generally, if something like this goes wrong with an install, it's probably meaning that codecs were deleted, but hard to tell without going step by step to troubleshoot.

Happy to help! Get compressed, bb!

Hahaha this comment wins! Glad I was able to knock this one out for you quickly. Let's all live and keep making music, babyyyyy!

This is the only proper way to display gratitude for this information.

Not sure if you're coming here because you're learning Reaper or wanting to shit on it, but I'll assume you're here with good intentions and are curious how you might handle stretching a note to fit. Three levels of difficulty: Does an individual note need to be generally longer? Slice around it, hold Alt on windows (probably option on Mac) and drag it out to time stretch the whole thing. Do you need to reshape the articulation? Add stretch markers at the attack/sustain/release points and drag them as needed, update the pitch shift algorithm and adjust the stretch marker fade size so it doesn't sound like a butt. Do you need to reshape a *LOT* of articulations? Use the dynamic split method, but assign stretch markers at the transients instead of splitting them. Then quantize stretch markers to the grid. --------- I set my option to 'Add Time Stretch Marker at Cursor Position' to Shift + W and it's really quick to add them where I need and move things around.

Thank You!@@ReaperTutorials

I'm building the template from a mac and sending it to a windows but they're vst3 plugins that should be compatible for both devices. Still showing up as an error.

Hmm that is a tricky one. Hard for me to tell without seeing them. Is it all the plugins that are failing, or just certain ones? My troubleshooting brain says to trust the error until we prove it wrong. Track down the VST locations on both computers and confirm there's no similarly-named VST in the VST3 folder. That's where I'd start. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Likely quick solution: Make sure your tracks don't have the same name, make sure you've got a wildcard that will make a different name when rendering, or check the box next to 'Silently increment filenames to avoid overwriting near the bottom left of the render window! ------ Longer explanation: The wildcard is really just going to dynamically change depending on the track. So in the video, the tracks are sitting inside a 'Parent' folder called 'BSN_WET', when I use the '$parent' wildcard, it replaces '$parent' with 'BSN_WET' when creating the new tracks. I wonder if the issue you're having is that your filenames ended up being the same. Let's say we have two tracks named 'BSN'. They are sitting inside a folder track called 'TRACKING' if we highlighted both of those, then tried to render using the 'Stems (selected tracks) option as your source. If you used the $parent wildcard like i did, then what the computer would try to render like this: Write TRACKING_BSN... Finished! Write TRACKING_BSN... It already exists, overwriting TRACKING_BSN... Finished! That's my guess, anyway!

Some friends of mine were trying to figure this out, but unfortunately, we couldn’t figure out how to handle conflicts in the project file as people edit. It would be fun to pick up again, though. We were moreso trying to use GitHub repositories as collaborative storage, and be able to use branches to have a collaborator make edits, get notes/approvals/etc. before merging the changes into the DAW. It got complicated any time two people were working at the same time :( Have you looked at Bandlab, though?? That’s the closest I’ve seen to what you’re describing

Hey, sorry for the delay - I would test this out first before applying to existing projects, but you should be able to apply this to existing projects by: - Opening the original project - Clicking 'Save As' - Checking 'Create Subdirectory for Project' - Checking 'Copy all media into this project directory' You shouldn't need to convert or trim. - Save I say to use 'Copy' instead of 'Move' in case something goes wrong. The worst thing to deal with is a corrupted project file, so this will keep your original project (which is hopefully still working) and create the new one with all the audio files. If you test it out and it's working, you can delete the original project / audio. If you've got 4 years worth of projects to do this for. I'd ask how comfy you are with writing macros or scripting. It's going to take time to get them all done and converted, and I don't have a good method for doing these in batches yet.

You're welcome, glad it was helpful!

That's a good question! I'm 80% sure that you can do dynamic split across multiple items. I know you can quantize across multiple tracks. Will check after work and get back to you.

Following up, dynamic split works across multiple tracks, just need to highlight all the items you want to split!

Awesome thanks so much for the reply. I’ve got some bleed through on the multitracked drums and just want to make sure I’m not getting double hits etc.

@MountainGn0m3 ah, yeah that would be tricky. I wonder if you would need to group all the tracks together so they split in the same places? Maybe put them into a folder and freeze them? That would keep you from getting double hits, otherwise I think you’re right that the bleed would be an issue

Going to copy paste something from another comment that I just made. And sorry for the delay in response: I would test this out first before applying to existing projects, but you should be able to apply this to existing projects by: - Opening the original project - Clicking 'Save As' - Checking 'Create Subdirectory for Project' - Checking 'Copy all media into this project directory' You shouldn't need to convert or trim. - Save I say to use 'Copy' instead of 'Move' in case something goes wrong. The worst thing to deal with is a corrupted project file, so this will keep your original project (which is hopefully still working) and create the new one with all the audio files. If you test it out and it's working, you can delete the original project / audio. If you've got 10 years worth of projects to do this for. I'd ask how comfy you are with writing macros or scripting. It's going to take time to get them all done and converted, and I don't have a good method for doing these in batches yet. There's no way to do batches like that natively in Reaper, so you'd need to build something. Otherwise, one by one while listening to a podcast or catching up on movies you haven't seen, haha.

@@ReaperTutorials thank you for the response and no worries about the reply time. My organization has been what it is for about ten years like I said, and could wait a few more weeks lol. I'm not very comfy writing scripts and macros but 90% of this stuff is me learning Reaper and also jotting down cool ideas. I think what I'll do is square away some of my more important projects and then disconnect the external hard drive and label it 2014-2024 and store it somewhere dry and just start fresh. Thanks for the great organization ideas, I'll definitely apply them on my next go around.

Oooo the shared mode thing could be because there's a mismatch between your hardware settings and what your computer is requesting. If you're on windows, you'd go into that same settings area and just try to match the sample rate and bit depth to what you see in Reaper. Otherwise, if you have ASIO as an option, try that. Sorry hard to help without seeing the problem directly, but happy to keep troubleshooting. Sorry for the delay!

@@ReaperTutorials hello! Thank you! My problem was so easy and I wasn't seeing it. I needed just to allow Reaper to use my microphone in my laptop settings. 😅 That makes sense

Exact message: Error opening devices. Error opening audio hardware. Could not initialize input device. (Problem solved)

Lolol side chain compression to the max! Glad you sorted it out!

Sorry for the delay! Not sure why things would have been frozen, unless it didn't have an active item to target, or something. Not sure but if you can recreate it, please let me know! Ah, for the drum pads, you can go into the midi editor directly and quantize from there. Try double clicking on the midi item and it will pull open a new window for you, then you should see some options at the top. One of them would allow you to quantize, but that's the place to go for MIDI!

@@ReaperTutorials no worries! I knew this was an older video so I wasn't expecting a response, but thank you!

Thanks! It can be a huge time saver in some situations :)
