Reaper templates

Then, shift tab back to the name edit field. It will move you to the include track items and envelopes in track template check boxes. If it states hide folder, press it so that it says browse folders. Up arrow until you here Not check, include track items in template.

That will check it. If you want to include envelopes, repeats steps only this time focus on the not check from the include track envelopes in template phrase. To find out about Project Templates, read the Project Templates article here.

That, and always labeling and ordering the tracks the same way. Consistency is key! Coloring a track by right-clicking each track and setting a custom color can take some time, so we can use another script to automate the track coloring process. Bear in mind you need to have the SWS Extension installed before you follow the steps below.

The first time you set up these color rules may take some time, but it will save you time for the rest of your life. Many producers export all their audio files as stereo, even when they are actually mono. You could use a stand-alone utility like StereoMonoizer to check for and reconcile stereo and mono files, but, as usual, REAPER can automate this task using a script.

Why would you backup tracks, instead of just saving a duplicate copy of the project? For example, I backup vocal tracks before I start comping them, and then again before tuning and editing them.

You can create a custom action that duplicates the selected tracks and automatically hides them from view. The second custom action duplicates the original track and then performs the mute and hide track s action. There are two types of normalization available: peak normalization and loudness normalization. Loudness normalization brings the average loudness of the file to a specified level, which is what we want for gain staging purposes. Before normalizing, I first listen to the tracks as they are.

If everything is too soft, select all the items and bring them up together. I generally go for a loudness for all tracks average level—not peak! It's beautifully balanced.

Much appreciated. Great source of information. My "consumer check" speakers are a set of Paradigm Atoms. I also do a monaural check with these speakers. At some point, I'd like to incorporate a set of Avantone MixCubes as well.

If everything is humming right with both of these setups I know I've got it right. I'm currently working on modifying the Reaper template using MVerb. MVerb sounds great, but there's a slight metallic ring that's present no matter what the settings are. As you know, I try to create a front chorus or dry , middle small room and back hall in most of my mixes.

The plate reverb and delay are generally used to lengthen a sound usually the vocal without any particular placement in the virtual room. I also try to use a touch of EQ to enhance the depth of the mix, i. All times are GMT The time now is AM. User Name. Remember Me? Mark Forums Read. Page 1 of 3. Thread Tools.
