There's another reason why this is a godsend and the BEST idea I've ever seen for the effect: converting your stuff to music sheet! Since you are quantizing and gating the annoying noises you get a really solid foundation for any transcription. Brilliant stuff ❤
I've learnt more things about Reaper in this video than the last 6 years using it 🤯the Menu Editor thing would have saved me TONS of hours. And will do it. Thanks mate you are fuckin awesome!!
✨Join the Reapertips discord! → discord.gg/BfEnFwjeWZ ✏One thing I wanted to add: This ReaTune method is my go-to, and it's perfect for monophonic stuff. Since it can be turned into an instant custom action, it feels frictionless, and most times it gives me a very solid starting point. However, there are times when I need more advanced stuff. Here's what I suggest: • For polyphonic/bending, use NeuralNote. This is a free VST. • For transients/drums, use MK Slicer. This is an incredible REAPER script that can do transients to MIDI really well (and many more things! I might make a full video on this).
Please do. I can't quite work out the finer details of its detector and the hi and low filter pass to get it to work how I wanted. The developer hasn't really mentioned much about it since then.
I've been using Reaper for a good four years now... every time I swing by here to get info, I end up learning a bunch of new stuff. Changing pitch for individual items by doing the drag method or going in the properties blew my mind... never even noticed that.
Hi, I just programmed your Audio to MIDI action. Works great for guitar to bass after manually adding some legato on the midi notes. Fantastic effort! Much appreciated!
I´m a classical guitar player, and I do very basic recording stuff for the moment, I always used Reaper, because it´s also capable of doing basic video editing. The software was always great to me, but this channel of yours is really the one to go...your instructions are like a piece of art !! Thanks so much for your amazing work👌🙏 Greets from Austria
I love your Reaper Theme which i think is the best out there and i will propose to add it as Reaper Theme directly in the DAW. And i Absolutely Love your Reaper tutorials. Thank you!
Just bought you a coffee, Alejandro. Much love and respect from Mumbai, India. This is great stuff. THank you so much for sharing. I just had to add "Crop to active take in items" and it works like a charm. THank you so much again.
I set up this custom action late last night. GOD is it nice! I only had a quick moment to test it, but I applied it to a vocal take and had an instant midi melody. Just great.
I'm very neurodivergent and Reaper is pretty overwhelming. Just watching you setup an Action was causing my brain to go ...Nah... too much. It's a struggle. That said, I so appreciate your effort! I'm familiar with Reaper at the most basic of levels. That is, I essentially have only used it to "master" my original tracks composed and output entirely from my Roland Fantom 08. Pretty challenging since I'm strictkly using the Roland (mainly to force learning and mastery of the workstation). Taking the stereo mix and tweeking it makes my songs sound so much better. Of course props to the pros I've learned from regarding mixing and mastering. I am no pro. LOL Also, typical of a beginner...I'm broke. So, thanks for the free theme! Maybe, down the road, when things are better, I will definately buy you a cup of coffee! Thanks again!!! Regarding the Midi, I do want to try this out. I can see how this might be good with the new AI tools that yoink out the instrument lines. Bass...Vocal...etc. From there, Midify the notes and use that as inpiration to remix or hybrid with original compositions. Doing this with chords to learn chord progressions in Midi...and modify the rhytnm and melodies... etc. Very usefull what you have shown.
Very nice, I am happy that I stumpled upon this at 4am.... This will be so very useful for transcribing music! I've always been someone that rather try notate his stuff before playing it, but with this the spontanous noodling can be transcribed much easier in guitar pro! I hope to try it in the coming days :)
Yes!! I super recommend this. I use this for the more complicated stuff since it allows for polyphonic. ReaTune is my go-to since it can be done so quickly and works great most times, then MK Slicer (REAPER script) for transients to midi stuff~
NeuralNote is good with detection as long as you can work out a good setting for the note durations. Otherwise you'd have a ton of 1/32 notes across octaves that is cumbersome to clean up... That is until this video showed up telling you exactly how to filter these kinds of events.
Amazing video! I've not had much experience with other DAWs but I'm fully delving into Reaper. Have been using it for a few years and I am forever amazed at what you can do with it
Hey Alejandro, I've been loving your Reaper theme and color palette! Awesome video! Quick question. Do you know if it's possible to do something like this but strictly for rhythmic music notes (not melodic) like 8th, 16th, 32nd, triplets etc?? For example, scatting drum patterns with your mouth then converting that audio to midi to be used by a drum sampler to trigger one shot samples. Any idea how to do something like this without having to do alot of midi editing post recording? Thanks for all of your awesome work bro! Much respect! ✌😎 - Cole Mize
Hi Cole!! thank you so much so glad to hear! For drum tracks I would highly suggest looking into the script called MK Slicer! It's amazing :D I was gonna mention it in this video but I think it deserves its own video since it can do so many things~
A quick tip on getting FX/FX chains to show in the actions window I discovered: you don't actually need to make a shortcut for it, just click the "create shortcut" option and then cancel, it will show up in the actions window anyways! Saved me lots of time of making and then removing random shortcuts :)
Brilliant stuff. I just started learning about recording and chose Reaper because I respect it's creators and community (like you!). Thank you for this. Liked and subbed.
Thank you so much for all of your work. I am enjoying the Reaper theme you created. Now I will work on this fantastic tip. It didn't separate the midi from the audio file, so I will try and see how to fix it.
As a guitar player, I’m curious if this would help to figure out guitar solos in recordings that I’m having trouble with, as I don’t have the greatest ears. I’ll have to give this a shot. Thank you.
This is great!!! Thank you 🙏 Now question: this is a crazy idea but is there a way to convert mic drum pads, from the captured WAV hits to MIDI triggers??? Have an amazing day 🤘
Fantastic video, Alejandro! I'm learning so much from you about writing with MIDI :) Incidentally when you hit "edit shortcut" on an FX chain you can just cancel out of the dialog without actually entering a shortcut - it will still appear in the action list so can be used in custom actions. Saves a step and saves those keyboard shortcuts from getting cluttered!
That is really impressive and was much needed too. Coming from ableton I was looking for that feature for a while. The next challenge now is: drum beats midi extraction
As far as Audio to Midi magic which Reaper doesn't want to have anything to do with, it pretty much has that thing beat from a long time ago. From the JS Audio to Midi drum Triggers, MK Slicer, that script the other guys mentioned in the comments.
I was using a version of this process for years until i discovered a plugin(at the time was free, i dont know if it still that way) called Neural Note, which does the same thing in more practical way except for the thing of make the guitar trigger the piano sound
I've been looking for a video like this for many years. Spot on with your content choices. Thank you so much for everything you do on this channel. Without the information from this channel I'm more like a frustrated monkey in the dark, swinging for the fence. You help me make creating music easier. 😁
This is well and good for DI tracks. But what processing would you suggest for Items that are not? Say distorted guitar. would the same Hi pass filter work?
Holy cow, amazing video! I came to learn one thing and learned 50 others haha, thank you so much. Also your reaper tips theme is awesome, I'm wondering if it's all black on the Windows version like it is for Mac? The one thing I can't stand about most dark themes on Windows is every menu has white, FX chains, even the main reaper window, at the top it's always bright white. Does the Windows version theme make all reaper windows black like it does in your Mac version? Again, fantastic video! Subscribed 💪🏻
Thanks very much for this. I'm trying it with some recordings but ReaTune is just going crazy, adding a million notes fluttering all over the place! Trying a lot of different gates and EQs and pitch shifters, but really just want something to clean it up.
This looks like a very useful action. I got hung up at 10:00. Although I have SWS installed correctly, when I go to FX browser and FX Chains, "Misc/Audio to Midi" doesn't appear in the list. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for the awesome video, and the best Reaper theme! I have found that you don't even need to assign a shortcut for the FX, just hit cancel when it prompts for the shortcut key, and when you search the action list, you will find the FX listed. I'm on windows, so I'm not sure about this on a MAC.
This was great. I found I had to place another action (@ position 14 in your action list) Take: Delete active take from items. Otherwise I had the two takes on the same track. (Reaper V 7.16 Win 11)
Ah okay! I have it like that because I like the two takes. The first being the original source and the second the midi. So if I ever need to go back to the source it will be the previous take. BTW you can disable show multiple lanes for takes with ctrl/cmd + L
Alejandro, Question: (I'm using version 7.11) Although I already have an audio item I previously recorded on my electric bass that I want to convert to MIDI, I have my Options > New recording that overlaps existing media items > Split existing items and add takes (default) checked. At 01:33 of the video one right-mouse clicks the audio item to select "Apply track/take FX to items as new take (MIDI output)". In the video, only 1 item is shown in the track as a result and it is labeled "Take2/2: GTR-05.wav render" After you apply the right-mouse option, your instructional video does not show the previous audio item - just the resultant MIDI converted "take". Then you are able to drag this one MIDI item (take 2/2) to another track and only have that MIDI item 'moved'. However, when I apply that option to my audio item, although it works to convert to MIDI and creates a new take - it shows both takes, the original audio item (take 1) and the converted MIDI item (take 2). When I try to select and move only the MIDI item (take 2) to another empty track, both the original audio item (take 1) and the converted MIDI item (take 2) are moved into the track. How do I get it to behave as you have shown in your instructional video? Is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks.
You can select the midi take, right click, select take in menu and crop to activate take. There are many other ways to do this and even set up custom actions. But I find this is easy enough for me.
@@michaelj.anderson1116 Thank you! Now I can adjust my custom actions with your suggestion within the multiline custom "Audio to MIDI" script that Alejandro provides. Much appreciated - and to Alejandro as well!
amazing workflow! Is there a similar way to do this with drums? For example: to take a stereo drum track and turn it into to midi? Thank you very much! You rock!
hellooo! Yess. For drum tracks I would highly suggest looking into the script called MK Slicer! It's amazing :D I was gonna mention it in this video but I think it deserves its own video since it can do so many things~
Thank you so much. Great tip. Would you confirm that this process of audio to midi conversion works mainly on monophonic audio source? Thank you again for sharing these precious knowledges on my favorite daw reaper.
Thank you soooo much! - Yess, this should cover all of the simple monophonic stuff really well. For more advanced stuff, I would go with: • Neural Note (third-party free VST) for polyphonic stuff • MK Slicer (REAPER script) for drums/transient stuff
I've abused the hell out of reatune - slamming full tracks into it and outputting MIDI of madness (because when you've got multiple instruments going it gets confused over what notes to use) - I then use these as the structures for new songs. Not realistic, not hugely useful except as a creativity prompt - but a lot of fun if there's no stakes.
The dream video! Thank you so much! I still have one question, can you do this with drums too? Or do you need to set up the transient threshold if i remember correctly
Thank you so muuch!! For drum tracks I would highly suggest looking into the script called MK Slicer! It's amazing :O I was gonna mention it in this video but I think it deserves its own video since it can do so many things~
this video is God sent its going to change my production output like mad only thing right now is its exporting the original wav and midi together as one stem.....any solutions?
Big thanks! Very power action! I have completely repeated both the FX chain and the Custom Action - all the steps are one in one, but now I have two takes displayed in one item: wave and MIDI. Not like yours. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
At first step, "easiest method", when I click apply track/take FX......(MIDI output), i get a split track (i see audio and MIDI in same track) and I have no sound, although it is showing life in eq. It is my 10th track, is that a problem?
This is 100% the best Reaper channel as far as I'm concerned, awesome stuff!
I am a middle aged woman, I don’t play an instrument, don’t know what reaper is and don’t own a computer… but I still watched this video…

"ak5k_Drums to MIDI"

Ableton is pretty impressive that it gives a 1 click solution but there's no room for any control, you kinda have to blindly trust the software.

Alejandro, Question: (I'm using version 7.11)
Although I already have an audio item I previously recorded on my electric bass that I want to convert to MIDI, I have my Options > New recording that overlaps existing media items > Split existing items and add takes (default) checked.

Is there a way to do the same but with drums instead?
Just posted a video showing how :D
WOW! Cool! Thank you!!! How can I get all these commands for audio to midi?
I've abused the hell out of reatune - slamming full tracks into it and outputting MIDI of madness (because when you've got multiple instruments going it gets confused over what notes to use) - I then use these as the structures for new songs. Not realistic, not hugely useful except as a creativity prompt - but a lot of fun if there's no stakes.
Very nice one Alejandro, Thanks for sharing.
I think I found my Reaper channel, subscribed and a thumbs up.
yaay welcome aboard :D
I would love to see how you mixed this!
You are my idol!!! Awesome video as always! Thank you for sharing!
The dream video! Thank you so much! I still have one question, can you do this with drums too? Or do you need to set up the transient threshold if i remember correctly
Thank you so muuch!! For drum tracks I would highly suggest looking into the script called MK Slicer! It's amazing :O I was gonna mention it in this video but I think it deserves its own video since it can do so many things~
@@Reapertips can't wait for that video!!

I couldn't find the chain FX, the FX folder is empty on my software! Thank you
any tips to do this for drums?
nvm just saw the video lol
Done! Thank you so much! 🥰
this video is God sent its going to change my production output like mad only thing right now is its exporting the original wav and midi together as one stem.....any solutions?
You`re always find fun ways to use reaper !
where can I put the piano in a folder.. i have tried but didnt work
does it works with chords?
Thanx, Alejandro! Great job!
heym how did u put your Fx in the tracks like pro tools ?
Big thanks! Very power action! I have completely repeated both the FX chain and the Custom Action - all the steps are one in one, but now I have two takes displayed in one item: wave and MIDI. Not like yours. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
Hi Bob, thank you! Maybe it's showing all takes? You can press ctrl + L to toggle the view to show a single take
@@Reapertips Oh yeah. I've already figured it out. Thank you for answering! And thanks again for the powerful action. 👍
is there any way to do this with chords?
Hey! Can you help me please?
What I can do, if I dont have "Insert FX chain: Misc/Audio to MIDI" in action list?
Hello! Please check 10:02 ✨
At first step, "easiest method", when I click apply track/take FX......(MIDI output), i get a split track (i see audio and MIDI in same track) and I have no sound, although it is showing life in eq. It is my 10th track, is that a problem?
Very impressive.
