Getting started with Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) and Reaper!

- In this video, I will show you how to get started with Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) and Reaper. I will go through downloading both applications, initial set up in reaper, setting up a project, adding a gate, reverb and delay. At the end I will show you how to run both delay and reverb in parallel for more clarity and control.

Awesome! Great tone in a simple explanation. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful 🙏
Thank you very much ! This video was just what I was looking for. It helped me on how I should properly use delay and reverb together. Thanks brother!😄
I’m glad it was helpful 😃
@@Obi-Juan_Guitar 😄
Insert ReaDelay, adjust the Length(musical) to 0.5. Adjust the feedback to suit.
Look at the bottom, hit Add Tap. It creates another Tab with the same settings. Go to the second Tab, adjust the Length(musical) to 1.0. Looking down again you will see a Pan slider. Drag one Tab to the left and the other to the right. You can also adjust the volume of the delay. Play with Lengths to suit.
Yea good video man. I needed that!
exactly the video iwas looking for thank you
Great instructions. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Very useful video, thank you!
I’m glad that it was useful 😃
Desde Montevideo Uruguay me resultó muy útil tu vídeo. Especialmente el uso del noise gate de Reaper. Ya lo incorpore a mi set. Muchas gracias
Que bueno que te ayudo. 🤘 Saludos a Uruguay
finaly, someone show me how it works together in real example
Very glad it was helpful 🤘
Great instruction ... thanks mister!!
Glad it helped 🤘
that's pretty dope. Thanks
You're very welcome. Glad it was helpful 🤘
Thank you so much.
You're very welcome 👊🤘
Great video for me. I have been using Reaper but very basic. I have never done the sends into other tracks like you showed, so I'll try that. I've played around with NAM just a bit but will focus on it more. Maybe a help to someone else, I was having issues with sound cutting out and discoverd I had background processes running my CPU usage up to 90% +. They are anti virus and auto backup.So Ill have to suspend them when running Reaper.
Thank you for this man, just what I needed! I just started using NAM, and followed what you did in the video. Just a question, why is using an fx track better than having the delay/reverb on one track? Cheers!
Glad it was helpful 🤘 By separating delay and reverb you avoid the delay repeats feeding into the reverb which can cause a muddy more washed out sound.. By separating you get more control and also a clearer sound. You can definitely put them in series, like you would on a real pedal board, but in the DAW you have this flexibility. Give both a try so you can hear it yourself. It's a good test 🤘
if i wanna add even more effects like most standard pedal types, is it a good idea to send a separate copy like you do to the reverb and delay to say, a fuzz ampsim pedal? and do so for the entire chain
Good question. I usually do sends like in this video for time based effects like delay and reverb after the amp. Overdrive, fuzz and things I would put before an amp, I just add them in the same track before the amp plugin.
alright, nice. thanks man.
that's pretty easy to set up then. @@Obi-Juan_Guitar
Well done... your IR is missing on Tonehunt
Nice vid!, What pickup are you using?
Thank you! I used my Evh Wolfgang guitar with the stock Wolfgang pickups. This one is the bridge pickup. Love these pickups
Great Video!!! - Just checking - NAM - Model = amp and IR = cab
Correct! But you can also have a NAM file that's full rig which includes the cabinet. So you wouldn't need an IR with those. Pay attention to the model you download to see if it's Full Rig vs Amp DI. Hope this helps 🤘
@@BrewerShettles best place to check is Tonehunt.org. That's where most NAM creators post their models for free 😀
@@Obi-Juan_Guitar Found your ObiJuan's Marshall JCM 900 - 90s Alternative_Pop-Punk Tone- FULL RIG!!! Great sounds!!! Thank you!!!
@@BrewerShettles very awesome 🤘 I like how that one turned out 😀
@@Obi-Juan_Guitar - Question Nam Model = OB1 JCM 900 Pop Punk Demo Full Rig and IR is blank. Zip Folder says ObiJuan's Marshall JCM 900 - 90s Alternative_Pop-Punk Tone- FULL RIG - is this right?
When I setup reverb and delay in parallel, I lost delay somehow. Reverb is still working but no matter what I change in the delay controls, it doesn't alter the sound. It's as if it's turned off. Any ideas? It was working when it was in one track.
I would start by checking that the send from the guitar track to the delay fx track is there. Maybe the send is disabled? Delete the send recreate just in case. Also, make sure that the delay plugin has the mix control to 100% when in parallel. Let me know if this helps
Awsome tutorial! ❤
However is it possible to skip the daw configuration and only use NAM and the audio interface together and get guitar sound out into monitors/headphones to play with a backing track from youtube for instance.
or is it a must to use DAW and arm a track and drag an actual backing track inside reaper?
Cheers
@@jake_with_the_BIG_snake yes! You can use NAM standalone to play along with UA-cam. You can also use something like Elements as an alternative to a DAW. Check out my tutorial on Element and NAM: ua-cam.com/video/PwhXVlEYUFo/v-deo.html
@@Obi-Juan_Guitar awsome! Thanks :)
👊🤘
Sometimes all you need is one IR with a good sounding amp capture
💯 the IR plays a big factor 👊🤘
Does NAM come with any tones? Or do I need to download one to actually use it
It comes without tones. You can download them from tonehunt.org. This link will take you straight to the tones that I've captured: tonehunt.org/obi-Juan
very pretty set, what are the names of these packs on site? both of head and impulse
In this tutorial I used York Audio 2x12 Mesa Cab Impulses with the NAM pack from this video: ua-cam.com/video/YAB84ZiNILE/v-deo.html 🤘
@@Obi-Juan_Guitar thnx
2:34 When I change "Audio System" to ASIO I then don't get any options under "ASIO Driver" other than ASIO4all v2 .. I cannot choose my Focusrite as it doesn't show up in the list?
Any ideas?
Make sure you install the latest Focusrite drivers for them to show up under ASIO. Which Focusrite interface do you have?
@@Obi-Juan_Guitar The Scarlett solo .. I just tried another daw and it to only shows ASIO4all" .. maybe I should delete asio4all?
Did you install the Scarlett solo drivers from Focusrite?
@@Obi-Juan_Guitar Yes
Can I use NAM without a cab sim response? Will the sound not be a little too cranky?
You can definitely use it without a cab impulse response, but you will get the full spectrum of the amp. A lot of high end nasty stuff. To combat that, you can use an EQ after NAM to filter some of it with a low pass filter and shape to the sound you like. In my opinion, I say this is more experimental, but many prefer to do it this way as an alternative to impulse responses with great results.
@@Obi-Juan_Guitar your video and way of explaining both are absolutely fantastic! Thanks! Let me give it a try
@@deepanjanmallick6215 I appreciate you saying this. Good luck!
Ok you lost me with the Model and the IR. Idk what those are and where to save them to?
I should have included more info on how to get those. The NAM files, which are the captures, can be downloaded from tonehunt.org for free. If you download a full rig capture (amp+cab) you don't need an IR and just load the NAM file on first slot. If you download just Amp DI captures, then you would need an IR (cabinet) on the 2nd slot or use a cab sim after NAM plugin. Tonehunt.org also host several IR to download for free. Go there, download a few and experiment 🤘
Where can I find the Amps and IRs to download?
ToneHunt.org 👊🤘
where do you get the wav file?
You can download the packs from tonehunt.org. This link will take you straight to the tones that I've captured: tonehunt.org/obi-Juan
@@Obi-Juan_Guitarappreciate it!
why is audio only coming out of 1 earphone
👋 in this video or in your Reaper?
@@Obi-Juan_Guitar reaper I play my guitar and audio comes out 1 earphone I have stereo selected
@Gameup2332 make sure it’s a Mono track
@@Obi-Juan_Guitar how do I check that
you did'nt show exactly what I needed to see: where to get the models, how to install them. :|
Thank you for the input 🙏 I should have included that. You can get the models from Tonehunt.org. once you download and have the .nam file, you would look for that file inside the plugin just like I show in the video. Hope this helps. 😀
@@Obi-Juan_GuitarTHANK YOU CHAMPION!!!!
