Nice. I just started doing orchestral stuff this week and was hoping there'd be a feature where I could look at different midi tracks all at once. I know this video is from 2013, but I still found it useful. Thanks!
Its only now that I have to write an orchestral piece with (too) many tracks that I took the time to learn this. This could have saved me so much time! Thanks
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I thought this is only a cubase/fl studio thing, and I needed such when writing larger orchestral stuff...now I know I have it too! This is amazing :D Cheers! :)
You can diable mousewheel movements from moving the volume faders by going here: Options > Preferences > Editing Behavior > Mouse > "Ignore mousewheel on all faders"
Hi, thanks for the great vid. I've been struggling with midi editing in Reaper with mainly two problems. 1) I don't understand the duplicate action in the midi editor. It works fine in the arrange view, but it duplicates elsewhere, but not right next to the midi note. 2) I can't open the instrument window in the midi editor as full screen. I've been googling and researched for many days but wasn't able to find any clear answer. It will be great if you make a video for this.
the cc means continuous controller. If your sound source is set to route cc values to modulation, you can use the controller to do things like sweep a filter, or volume, etc. Here's a list of standard controller numbers: nickfever.com/music/midi-cc-list Hope that helps.
Hi, is it possible to manually add midi notes to multiple tracks at a time? It seems you're only able to edit the already existing midi notes for multiple tracks.
On the bottom bar where you can set your grid and note length, you'll see a drop down called "Color", choose "Track" from the options. Then on your Track grid on the upper right hand corner you can double click on the colour squares to change each track's colour.
Great tutorial! I noticed that within a track, your media items are named with the bar number in which they start. Is there a way to do that by default in Reaper? Right now all my MIDI items are named "Untitled MIDI item" by default and I'd like it to be something more useful. Thanks!
Tuts+ Music & Audio What VST is that that you're using for your strings and winds and so on?! I've been looking for good cellos and so on for a looooooooong time.
Stayed up to 8am Setting this up but I now have a template for EW Symphonic Orchestra. Thanks For this Video Tons of stuff I would have never looked into but was worth to check out.

Excellent. One eventually finds a good good channel for every DAW and this is a good one.
Great tutorial! I've been using reaper for a year now almost daily and I learn't a lot from this video. Reaper sure is something special. =)
Thank you... been using reaper for years and never found out about many things you're showing here or what use are they :)
I've been using Reaper for years, but this Tut made me feel like I never used Reaper.

A lot of useful informations squashed properly so it's easy to digest, good job!
what a great tutorial! awesome job! cant believe i am just now seeing this in the year 2022
Excellent teaching! You covered a lot, too! Looking forward to seeing more. -:)
Do you also have a video on recording Midi in Reaper, different recording modes (loop recording and so on)?
This was amazing! I learned a ton on this one, thanks.
Excellent tutorial, many thanks !!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Some cool features taken from Sonar. Smart!

Thanks. Awesome vid. How did I not know this!
nice tutorial, can you please tell me what the "modulation cc" does? I have tryed it in reaper with session strings and I did not hear any difference

Hi, is it possible to manually add midi notes to multiple tracks at a time? It seems you're only able to edit the already existing midi notes for multiple tracks.
Is there a way to custom color the midi data?
Example:
Yellow- Violin 1
Purple- Violin 2
Red- Violas
Blue- Cello
Green- Bass
On the bottom bar where you can set your grid and note length, you'll see a drop down called "Color", choose "Track" from the options. Then on your Track grid on the upper right hand corner you can double click on the colour squares to change each track's colour.
Hey, what Reaper theme do you use?
Great tutorial!

Thank you. I may just do that as I still am looking.
You just make my life a lot easier but how is your template setup with subforlders.

Good tutorial. Thanks :D
Very helpful tutorial mate,thanks a lot,subscribe and waiting for new ones cheers!
Great video
I love Reaper
At least let us hear your track! Good tutorial thank you
Cool!
Stop zooming/paning when you are talking. It makes it harder to follow. Otherwise, thanks a bunch for the tips!
pure gold
really helpful
Excellent Video. Please don't ever take it down. _/\_
2:20
thank you david bowie
Wow!
Very good vid, but pelase don’t do a million clicks everywhere and don’t move too much everything
took 12 minutes to get to the point
lol Thanks, you saved me 12 minutes.
It happens at 11:36 actually
Now I know why cubase costs a lot more. And its worth it.
+jonesgerard what do you mean ?
CleverDjembe, he means he doesn't know a lot about Reaper.
