Thank you very much Kenny. Your tutorials are very informative, non-condescending and the smoothness of your voice makes it very easy to follow along with you. I'm recovering from 20 years of being down. A hog's revenge for slaughtering millions of them suckers. I know better than I was when I went down but videos like these help to rebuild what I know I am truly capable of. So from the bottom of my heart, Kenny I'm grateful for your videos and your style of teaching. Peace out brother
Thanks for leaving your old tutorials up Kenny. I can't count the times that I have had to reference them for some small thing I forgot to do. And....as usual...it saves my ass! 👏👏👍
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh! Man using Finder to get rid of "consolidated" in the file names. Damn that's cool & useful. I like getting rid of clutter. Thanks again Kenny.
Thanks kenny, that was exactly what i needed. Just one question. Im sending my first track to be mixed and it has midi in it. In your vid, there were 2 options to send the midi in. How do i know which one to choose. Or is it better to render them to wav format? Many thanks
Why is it not a good idea to select the embed tempo option? I think that would be really useful in a project with tempo changes, just curious... Great video as always Kenny.
Would be great to have an option to do this all at once. a function that glues every single track that has gaps in it, and then adds empty spaces to the start and endings to fit the time region setting. if one button could do that would be very helpfull. maybe a macro or shortcut assignment to a key on the keyboard.
Hi Kenny, firstly, thank you so much for your videos!... Secondly, when it comes to sub-projects and parent/child tracks, is there a specific method that needs to be used before consolidating/exporting? Thanks
Great thanks but.. some items were not at the start of my song but when I imported all the items went to the start ? any thoughts suggestions? cheers, Peter from Scotland.
I recently tried sending my bands album to a sound engineer to get mixed and mastered but after sending them the consolidated files of each individual song, they do not line up in time with each other. This is extremely frustrating due to the fact they never heard how the songs go. Please help?
I know plenty about this subject but once again learned several important new things. One of these days I'm going to watch a Kenny Gioia video and not learn anything new!
What if I only make math rock? My tempo and time signatures are changing a lot through the project. Should I embed the project tempo? Or should I create a blank midi file and embed tempo and time signatures there for the mixer to import first as a map?
Before doing the export, what should the level for each track be set at? What about the pan? I usually have set things up with my initial mix, as a way of checking that things are working the way I want. Any suggestions?
Hey, I have all of my tracks are grouped in folders, but when I render them it's not keeping the folder volume change to the stems, so they are louder than the -5 db on volume fx I added on the folder. Is there a way to preserve this? (I guess 'selected tracks via master' and then disable master fx if you so choose to, but the render will include the folder master fader/FX with it)
Thank you soo much! This was really easy. I tried to follow another channel and the mixer told me that I didn't do it correctly. Your tutorial is what he wanted.
Hi, can the exported files be emailed ok? Just thinking of a way of my band using Reaper to record in our homes, take in turns to record, so me recording the drums, then email to bass player, bass player records bass then emails to singer etc etc, then all emailed back to me to do the mixing....
They're (audio) files so they can be emailed like any other type file (picture, text, video...). However, their size might be too big for emailing, so you might wanna use websites like WeTransfer or Cloud services like Google Drive / Dropbox, ti share your (large) files.
Kenny may have covered this, and maybe I just missed it.... did he mention dithering in this video? From what I understand, you don't want to dither stems during export if they're going to be imported into a mixing session. Can someone confirm/explain this? I tried to export stems that I recorded in Reaper so that I can import them into Studio One for a mixing session. When I bounced my final mix in Studio One, it sounded like complete ass. I went back to Reaper and just did the mixing all over again. I basically did everything the same as I did during my Studio One session and then I bounced the Reaper mix and compared it with the studio one mix. The reaper mix sounded way better. They should sound the same though, right? it's not like DAWs add color to a mix. I think I must have done something wrong when I exported the stems from Reaper...I'm not 100% sure, but I think I dithered the stems during the export and someone said that may be the problem. Help me out please? Thanks!
whats the difference between rendering with ''STEMS (SELECTED TRACKS)'' and ''SELECTED TRACKS VIA MASTER''??? If i have for example: A limiter on my master track and I want to render the whole project for mixing (all the separate tracks)? What's the best option???
Hey Kenny! Thanks for your videos, very helpful! I was wondering if there was a way to send a track with each takes still available? That would mean that each track won't be one full audio file but several takes placed wherever during the song. The idea here is to share my project with other bandmates in order to write music together. Thanks!
"Y'know, you're screamin', but that doesn't really matter. I hear sirens in the distance, but I don't care about that. Now what I'm gonna do is stick this pneumatic drill in your ear, you got that?"
Rendering a project is essentially a 'mix down' of all of your tracks into a single file. This creates multiple files, useful if you are working on a project, but want to go to mix down mode without worrying removing the 'ideas' you have been playing with whilst setting out the song. I am about to use this process to place all of my Direct Input guitars into a new project without worrying about placement or the effects I have been playing around with, so that I can mix down my track from scratch without manually doing each guitar track and moving it to a new project. Hoping it will save a lot of time.
sir i m trying to figure out some type of vocal ride in reaper but not satisfied with result . my setup1) one fx in vocal track ( compressors )2) link parameter volume = plugin gain3) negative parameter 4) write automation of gain fader5) copy automation to vocal pre volume 6) reduce automation point 7) manual adjust point to control vocal dynamic
Thanks for the video Kenny! I would like to ask a question, maybe there is a small chance that you can help me with the short answer :) I know that the easiest way to export tracks with fx from Reaper is by selecting "stems" in Render files menu and select all the tracks you need to export. But the problem is that in my projects many tracks are in folders and folders are considered as tracks also and if I have some fx chain on my folder track, then by selecting only child track the export will bypass folder's fx chain and the file will contain only fx chain that was on the child track. Is there a possibility to use the stems export function without bypassing folder's fx chain when selecting child track for export? I'm sorry for the long and confusing question :) Ivan
Thank you Kenny!!!!!!!! I’m still new to Reaper! I Love it!!!!! Trying to figure out how to install my Digi003 rack and command 8 in Reaper hopefully I can find some information on it on the website.
HELP! i tried doing exactly this but the track won't export correctly. They will export as 1 - 20 second long files but not with the needed length to send it out. This shit is freaking me out LOL . please step in and help a fellow reaperian LOL ^^
For PC users : you can batch rename several files with bulk rename utility (free)

They way you just check and explain all the options is a relief
Thanks for leaving your old tutorials up Kenny. I can't count the times that I have had to reference them for some small thing I forgot to do. And....as usual...it saves my ass! 👏👏👍
extremely helpful - you are helping many thousands of people thank you
I think other channels about Reaper should shut off. They're no match for this. Why bother go somewhere else?
Nah. It's teamwork. Not a competition.
REAPER Mania nah it’s you brother you’re just that damn good
Stupid or what?
Kenny is awesome but i've definitely learned plenty from other tutorials! It's helpful to me to see multiple people's approach to a task.
I just downloaded Reaper and these videos are making it so easy to navigate. Thanks \m/
i did it and my file has1,5 mb.WTF?
Damn it! And all this time I was removing the "-consolidated" text manually one by one!! 😁 Cheers Kenny!
he he
Great stuff thank you. We use Reaper for live capture mixing and still have a lot to learn. I find it very informative checking out your videos.
Invaluable. Thank you, sir!

life saver!
Thank you for explaining this feature. Boy I was doing it the hard way. Thanks Kenny!
I've not had to do this yet and won't have to do it in a long while, but I've been thinking about it and this video explained it perfectly!
Oh man this would have been gold back in the Cape projects.
Christophoer Walken's son? THE Bruce Dickenson...
Another nice video thanks buddy 👍🏽👍🏽.
Hi Kenny, firstly, thank you so much for your videos!... Secondly, when it comes to sub-projects and parent/child tracks, is there a specific method that needs to be used before consolidating/exporting? Thanks

Thanks for this very helpful video.
Very Helpful! Thanks a lot!
Very helpful video thanks.

What if you have like 4 vocals TAKES on a track(s)? How do you send each take properly?
I know plenty about this subject but once again learned several important new things. One of these days I'm going to watch a Kenny Gioia video and not learn anything new!

Same thing is he sent me the wrong video lol
Excellent video!! Thank you so much, it was exactly what I needed to know.
Hi, how do we hide the markers embedded in an audio file?
you saved my life🤧🤧
What if I have several midi tracks. Will it export them as wav files?
Hi, can the exported files be emailed ok? Just thinking of a way of my band using Reaper to record in our homes, take in turns to record, so me recording the drums, then email to bass player, bass player records bass then emails to singer etc etc, then all emailed back to me to do the mixing....

I didn´t know Chris Walken was into this kinda stuff
I did this and files wont open up to where they should go why
It also exports .wav.reapeaks files. Yours didn't have that. I assume they're not relevant for non-reaper DAWs
whats the difference between rendering with ''STEMS (SELECTED TRACKS)'' and ''SELECTED TRACKS VIA MASTER''???
If i have for example: A limiter on my master track and I want to render the whole project for mixing (all the separate tracks)? What's the best option???

Great advise, thanks!
Thank you very much for this video sir!
Anyone know any good mixing and mastering engineers I can send my song too? Thanks in advance.
kenny maybe im slow but i dont know how im the only one who DIDNT catch the send. do you send the folder or the new track ? Im slow i guess
Oh my god how do you select multiple tracks with the mouse!!!!!???
I would love to hear this narrator as a sociopathic killer trying to mess with his victims psychologically
"Y'know, you're screamin', but that doesn't really matter. I hear sirens in the distance, but I don't care about that. Now what I'm gonna do is stick this pneumatic drill in your ear, you got that?"
what this will work for other daw like cubase

Thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you
How come when i consolidated my tracks and put them into another file in reaper..how come the FX and faders and stuff still work?
sir i m trying to figure out some type of vocal ride in reaper but not satisfied with result . my setup1) one fx in vocal track ( compressors )2) link parameter volume = plugin gain3) negative parameter 4) write automation of gain fader5) copy automation to vocal pre volume 6) reduce automation point 7) manual adjust point to control vocal dynamic
What layout are you using? I really enjoy these walking throughs
Thanks!
You're pretty good, man.
What if the project has 2 or more tempo changes?
Thanks Kenny, very nice tutorial :-)
i want you to plz make some video on vocal Ride substitute .
Awesome thanks !!
I'm going nutz trying to export, through Dropbox, a Reaper project.
How about a video how to perform a final mix? Not many people can afford to pay someone to do the final mixing.
There are tons of mixing videos on the internet...
do we usually send consolidated files to mixing engineer? what if we have certain fx that we need on our song that was added to the track?
print them to the file with the stems option as is explained right at the beginning of the vid
is there a way to do this and also zip the files into a .rpp file specifically for another Reaper user to be able to open/utilize?
Hello hi Mr Kenny, by this way,does it work with the automation tracks too ?
Thanks for the video Kenny! I would like to ask a question, maybe there is a small chance that you can help me with the short answer :) I know that the easiest way to export tracks with fx from Reaper is by selecting "stems" in Render files menu and select all the tracks you need to export.

тоже мучаюсь с этим каждый раз)
Жалко, что ответа так и нет) Приходится работать через Render queue, но это долго очень.
Sometimes, I wish I could give you 2 or 3 thumbs up Kenny....
lit,, thanks bro.
Thank you Kenny!!!!!!!!
I’m still new to Reaper! I Love it!!!!!
Trying to figure out how to install my Digi003 rack and command 8 in Reaper hopefully I can find some information on it on the website.
HELP! i tried doing exactly this but the track won't export correctly. They will export as 1 - 20 second long files but not with the needed length to send it out.
This shit is freaking me out LOL . please step in and help a fellow reaperian LOL ^^
Never mind I sent as stems smh
superd! 😃
Could they make this any more frustrating? Just give a dang send project button or something. This is so uninspiring
I learnt that you talk too much
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you!
