Note to Chrome OS Version 81 users
There is a bug in Chrome OS v81 that wont let some Linux apps display properly.
Bug is described here:
bugs.chromium....
Unfortunately, to fix it you have to disable GPU acceleration. To do this:
1. Open up a Chrome browser and type "chrome://flags"
2. Search for "Crostini GPU Support"
3. Change the dropdown to "Disabled"
That fixes the issue for me but graphically heavy applications will run slow. Hopefully it's fixed in the next update.
Anyone curious about editing audio in Chrome OS?
@@Ezra05b It can be used for both.
Yes
I'm curious how this has worked out for you. I'd love to edit music on a chrome book.
Not edit but record with an interface
YES ON REAPER!
Dude....thank you. I just grabbed a Lenovo chrome book duet for some light travel editing and you just gave me the knowledge to work with something I’m comfortable with. MVP
Glad I could help!
While not comprehensive this video gives just enough of the basics and a good visual/contextual road map to work. I really struggle with getting the directories to match up but the terminal is pure logic so I was eventually able to figure it out. Thanks for the information
I used to use Mixcraft on Windows back in the day, but have been on CrOS for some time now, and want to get back to making mash-ups in my spare time. Going to go through these steps on my Pixelbook in a moment.
Audio capture on Linux *now* works flawlessly on Chromebooks.
How you set it up?
@@Fivedouble There’s an option for it under thelinux section of the Settings app
Is it posible use an audio interface on Chromebook?
@@frankmacromancia Yes. As long as the chromebooks detects it as an audio source. There are forum threads on reddut on which ones are fullt compatible.
I hope this helps. Cheers!
Yes, I was able to use a Focusrite Scarlet Solo with an SM7b mic on my Chromebook. It worked with Android apps and Linux apps.
Excellent step by step with visuals. Thanks! I 'd never have made it without this.
Thank you very much. I've been racking my brains to get this done and your video was decisive.
Thanks for the awesome tutorial! I'm taking my first steps into voiceover work but was using a Chromebook, which I know is less than ideal. I was able to get both Audacity and Reaper following your steps and will be trying these out as I get my feet wet. Great video.
Can you give an update when you get it going? Thinking of getting a chromebook for my podcast but no point if it doesn't work well
@@BlackRainbow1990 dont do it Seth. they are a waste of money
Thank you. I think you helped me solve my problem using Audacity.
Sweet! I have Audacity on my Cromebook! Thanks!
Thanks for the vid. Very helpful
Glad I could help!
YO THANK YOU!! Helping me with my Uni studies
when i type in the sudo apt-get update part it doenst say the same thing as yours please help i have a acer chromebook 15
how do i get to extract the reaper file. i typed in 1s but it kept saying command not found
Did you ever figure this out? Same issue.
This was great. Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
how to delete the reaper program once installed from terminal?
Thanks so much I can edit my vocals from FL mobile in audacity now
That's awesome! Happy to help!
How
@@LoveAshleyCash1 I record in FL mobile then transfer audio files to audacity on Chromebook for editing cuz audacity for Chromebook can't record yet
@@Actuality603 Recording has now been added to Chrome OS. I just started testing this past week and was able to get it to work with my SM7b mic and Scarlett solo USB interface. Working on a video on it, but to use recording you have to enable the Mic in the Chrome OS Linux settings. There is an option called "Allow Linux to access your microphone"
I find tutorials helpful but they usually lose me within a minute.
This one lost me when it said to install audacity from some mystery place.
I'm to assume that every single Chromebook with Linux automatically has audacity somewhere somewhere somewhere that it could just automatically Pull It by typing in get and install audacity?
Cool! Thank you. I had Audacity installed on my Chromebook. But, i didn't know about reaper. I got reaper installed now. But, there is no maximize window icon. How can that be fixed?
Hi! I successfully installed Reaper on my Chromebook thanks to this video
However, I'm having a hard time getting Linux VSTs to work, it says "assets not found, reinstall or give access to documents folder"
Any ideas? Thanks!
Reaper demo keeps going after the times up 😆 😂
i need the commands for reaper
I disabled the GPU support but Reaper still won't open. Any thoughts on what I should do?
I got to the point to when the download is complete and when I went to open up reaper it just kept loading and not actually opening reaper. Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much for the reply! It seemed to work for me. Thanks again for helping out with my issue
@@ecubing1699 You're welcome! Happy I could help you out.

I’m having the same problem
@@MrSouthpole97 same
@@ZadnoleyaEdits yeah I gave up and just got a pc that runs on windows
My USB mic won't show up in reaper on my chrome book
Thank you Lu for this wonderful video. I got everything except what to put for the directory. On my chromebook the unzipped file is under.... My files > Linux files > reaper_linux-_aarch64 is the reaper installer. What would I type in the terminal. Many thanks to you Lu or anyone who could guide me! I subbed to your channel!
Looks like a real PITA - Windows would be easier to work with
Is there a way to run Cakewalk on a Chromebook?
when I type the first command it doesn't do the same as you, what do I do ? for reaper
I have an ASUS
the whole procces worked but when i want to start reaper nothing happends
Try the fix I wrote about in the description.
Thanks mate, I follow all your instructions and installed Reaper successfully but I cannot open the app. I double click and nothing happens, re-started and nothing happens. I run updates in the terminal and nothing. I wonder what I did wrong
I sorted out, I choose the wrong version. All good, excellent tutorial ;-)
What's the latency like?
Did u manage to find out this?
hey there this is so great and followed all instructions but I have a dead Black box screen when I open the reaper app - any clues as to what I have done wrong? or why?
I wrote about this issue in the comments. There seems to be a bug that's causing thing in the current version of ChromeOS. The description of the video has a fix.
@@lustechsource5197 oh cool I will watch again and find the fix.. do I need to unisntall first?i found your video so helpful and clear . Hope you can help me through this next stage!
@@elliepearce6550 No need to install. Just disable GPU rendering and it will work. Unfortunately this will affect graphics performance of other applications. Hopefully there is a fix to the bug soon.
@@lustechsource5197 hey about to have a go disabling. when you say it will affect graphics of other applications what would ones would these be? Live streaming?
Amazing thanks I'm set up .. but I can't see any of my recordings to insert when I follow your guidance. Do I need to adjust something in my files to allow access?
my guy it worked
do you try installing adobe 1.5 for recording??
Hey, gresat video! I have a question, wich version of reaper do I choose if I had a chromebook ace 14? I think the processor is intel celeron n3160.
If it's an Intel Celeron than you choose the x86_64 version
I got a file from yt to mp3 converter and it keep saying my media file is offlline
PLEASE HELP
when we disable the GPU, what can happen to the Chromebook?
Programs that depend on GPU acceleration will run a lot slower.
i downloaded audacity but i can’t find it in my app launcher
Sorry, I have no idea why it would not show up. It's always showed up for me when installing..
what reaper file should i use for an MT8173C
Any ARM chromebook should be using the aarch64 download.
How do I get to the terminal
You have to install Linux from the Chrome OS settings. Then the terminal will be in the app drawer
Are you Opai Senpai?
