    Hey, is it possible for example if I create track 1 and open fx tab and choose lets say 2effects delay and reverb to switch them off and on on midi controller? or if I want to press midi to turn off delay and turn on reverb fx?

    I just got the KMI QuNexus MPE keyboard which is supposed to control up to three tracks simultaneously. So now I'm wading through the ReaLearn controls in the extensions menu.

    This is great, but also illustrates the inconsistency of reaper. I use it for recording, it's new lane system is great. But, reaper is such a distraction because learning it becomes the focus, rather than making music. At least for me.

    Hello once again. Can you set controls for more than 1 DAW? I use reaper. I will be participating in a beatmaking workshop and the s/w is Ableton Live 11 Lite. I want to set controls for reaper, which I can from this video (Thanks) Will I be able to set a "Memory" or template using Midi Control Center? Thanks.

  • @kerwinalexander6836
    @kerwinalexander6836 8 місяців тому

    Hello again. If you set your arturia controller to control DAW actions (I use reaper also) will it still continue to control the DAW while using Analog Lab s/w? The Analog Lab s/w auto configures itself to the minilab controller/ (all the knobs, and sliders (minilab 3)) when in use. Thanks

    how does Mackie Control Universal work, should it automatically map these controls including transport? I'm trying to get a control surface hooked up, and I have it set up in the control surface menu within Reaper presets, but nothing is happening as it should.

    Michael, thank you, I have used Reaper for years, but, i am totally new to Midi and Midi controllers, 3 days, and notice that there is no clear use of Reaper in the Midi world. Even Kenny Jioi has been able to help me. If you go to Ableton, or Logic Pro, they all kind of omit Reaper. So you have given me hope.

    Hi, So theoretically: Question 1. Any chord can have #5. And those that are major ones can be called augmented chords. Any fukn major chord with all its extensions can be made augmented, right?? And any chord can have b5. And those that are minor ones can be called diminished chords. Any mother fukn minor chord with all its extensions can be made diminished?? Question 2. And if I take a minor6 chord with all its crazy possible extensions and flatten the 5th, I should get a crazy fully dim chord, right?? Am I right? Thnx bros and sis. Cheers

    This is gold! Thanks for the awesome video! Little question here: lets say that i want to change the notes given by the pads in my midi controller, for example, the pad number 1 gives an E1, pad number 2 gives an F1, etc. So i want to change the pad number 1 to give an D1 instead of E1, can it be done?
