This quickly creates a bounced version of each track, including any effects processing. If you're struggling to keep those CPU cycles down, consider using Reaper's clever Render Selected Tracks To Stem Tracks (And Mute Originals) function, in the Track menu. It can only load a single sample, but you can use multiple instances for multisampled patches and drum kits. A basic sampler, it's nothing particularly out of the ordinary, but its modest CPU usage requirements and straightforward interface make it worth checking out. One of Reaper's best-kept secrets is the ludicrously-named ReaSamplOmatic 5000 instrument. With ripple edit mode activated, any audio object you move on any given track will also move everything else on that line. This is activated by pressing Alt+P, or via the Options»Ripple Editing menu entry. Causing ripplesĪnother useful feature when working with complex or longer projects is Reaper's ripple mode. All media items will now display a lock icon that enables you to fix their position. Open the Appearance»Media section of the Preferences menu and ensure that both Locked and Unlocked in the Media Item Icons panel are selected. In order to avoid this, check out Reaper's lock function. With complex projects, it's easy to get confused and edit items you might not mean to. You'll be presented with a choice of several well thought-out curve types, which can help make getting that perfect sweep or fade that little bit easier. To select a curve type, right-click an automation point and pick Select Shape For All Selected Points from the menu. Reaper offers a variety of different automation curves. This creates identical copies of any and all selected tracks, making it perfect for doubling MIDI lines, or for performing parallel processing on audio parts. Need to beef up a track in a hurry? Give Reaper's Tracks✽uplicate Selected Tracks function a whirl. However, they can also be docked at the bottom of the screen by right-clicking them and selecting the Dock option. Reaper gives you the best of both worlds: by default, the MIDI grid editor, performance meter and so forth all open in new windows. Of course, the last step is to do the 'save project as' step that Rob outlined.These days, many DAWs eschew multiple floating windows and instead opt for a single-window approach. I find this easier to do and later see the results of than simply setting the time selection directly. Then I right-click in the time bar (or whatever it is called and use the 'crop project' function like Rob suggested. I then click one of the middle tracks (representing the time span of what I want to keep) and then use this 'set time selection' function. My workflow is this: cut all the tracks at once at the beginning (trim pre-show time) and then cut all the tracks at the end (trim post-show time). Good luck finding an unused one of those! And it's probably easiest to use if you set it to a keyboard shortcut. It's conveniently located at the very bottom of the search results. Open Actions and then the Actions list and search for it by name. The "set time selection to items" function is in Actions. I find it odd that this kind of thing isn't super easy in Reaper. I've found that the well hidden "set time selection to items" action working in conjunction with the "crop project to selection" gets me where I need to go. I would like some advice on how to best do what I need here. When I do the cuts I still end up with full length WAV files, and all the storage needs. My plan was to select the cut I want, then delete everything else, then save AS to a new folder. Of an evening's performance, there may be a few songs worthy of extra effort to remix and I would like to extract them to an individual folder. I often have 24 track recorded so I end up with a folder that might be 30gb or so with the individual WAV files being 1-2gb each. Most often, I simply start the recording at the beginning of the night inserting markers as I go and maybe pause it during breaks, or not. I use a Dante network to get audio from the live mix desk to a Mackbook Pro and into Reaper to take back and mix down in my office (studio?). I do "weekend warrior" level stuff - live sound, but record many of the events either because I want to (with permission) or because the band or event wants it. Hi, I am a long time reader and poster in the LAB forums but this is my first here in Recording.
