Dude there should be a large filesize version of Reaper that includes your tutorials, embedded in the DAW itself. Im sure so many of us have learned a lot from your vids. Yeah it's probably all documented somewhere but that's 400+ pages. You and Cockos are truly the GOAT. I'm so happy that these guys were able to make bank from Winamp and continue to deliver us this amazing piece of software. In the days of corrupted tech they uphold a real oldschool mentality - modularity, tweakability, versatility... Power to the user
Very useful 👍, although it's unfortunate that it just affects horizontal zoom. It would be much more interesting to be able to control both horizontal and vertical zoom at the same time. Even though I don't speak English very well, your explanations are usually fantastic and simple to grasp. Thanks
Hey, thanks so much for this video, it's super helpful! I was wondering if it could be done this way, that I could switch a keyboard shortcut for another action, or rather a set of keyboard shortcuts for other actions in a certain mode. To describe my use case: I use different actions in Reaper that I edit items under the mouse without having to click on them (like: Trim left/right edge of item under mouse or the next one to mouse cursor without changing fade-in end) and I'd like to be able to switch this, that my keyboard shortcuts revert to classic editing by clicking on the specific place in the item that I want to adjust. Any idea how to do this and if it's even feasible? Thanks a lot!
In the Cycle Action Editor, there is the Toggle column that one marks with a dot. There are two kinds of dots, an empty or a filled circle. Anyone know what is the difference?
The dot means it reports toggle state to toolbar buttons, so if you put that action on a toolbar button then the button will highlight when the action is toggled on, and not when it's toggled off. I forget which way round it is, but the difference between solid and empty dots is that one (#1) just stores its own toggle state, and one (#2) uses the toggle state from the first action in the cycle - so if your first action in the cycle was "Toggle snapping" then the toolbar button would use that action to decide whether the cycle is toggled on or off, rather than having its own separate state. This helps stop things getting out of sync - in the above example, if you toggle snapping separately without using the cycle action, the cycle action toggle will get out of sync if you use #1 but will stay in sync if you use #2. However, you can only use #2 if the first action in your cycle is a toggle action. If it's something like "Select previous track" then you have to use #1. It's hard to explain (and I might have remembered wrong anyway) but I hope that helps. Also sorry I can't remember which dot is which 😅 Hopefully you can work that out with some testing, or via searching the forums.
Dangit this would not work form me. When I tried to insert action from action window only a zero would show up. It seemed as if the action wouldn't stay selected in the action window.
In the actions menu right click and copy "selected action command ID" .Then in the cycle action editor make a new action and double click to rename it and paste.
2:10 For me the result is : „Command 0“, „Description: unknown“. As a workaround,I have to type in the Command-number . Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Hello Kenny, i have a big Problem: i made a entire tracklist with 46 songs cosisting of 3 playback tracks, which 2 are a clicktrack and a track with speech witch song comes next. On the live tracks i have automation like hall and delay. I made this all in Cubase. Now i wanted to change all this to Reaper thats way more CPU friendly. How can i copy the automation and the tempo track to Reaper without doing all the work again? Pls help me!
For the tempo track I'd say exporting a midi file with all the information you want would be the best way... don't know about vst automations, tho 😕 maybe there's a way to convert those values to midi too
I think this is one of the most wanted features in Reaper. Very useful! Thank you for sharing!

The sea of possibilities. Thanks. Good tip.
Kenny, thank you so much for this. You just made things so much easier.
Now that is handy! Thanks Kenny!!

Thanks a lot Kenny, i was thinking about it today, and so i received an answer. 🥰
Amazing! Thanks Kenny.

another good one

@@Charlie_Echo great thank you!
