Reaplug vst software#

Reaper doesn’t have all the features that PT does, but it has a HELL of a lot more (for what I do anyway) than Logic, Ableton, and S1.Posts should be related to Reaper, the digital audio workstation and MIDI sequencer software created by Cockos. Nuendo dropped $900 in price, and its still the 3rd most expensive DAW around. The reason is because PT and Nuendo are still so dang expensive. I write a lot of automation during mixing, but mainly because I use that console, and unfortunately it doesn’t communicate with Reaper at all.įunny thing, all of the audio classes I’m taking in college for video game design are teaching Reaper. Do you happen to know if Reaper has macros? Where one automation lane controls 8 other automation parameters across different plugins? I didn’t realize how much automation was done in dubstep and EDM genre’s until I started teaching that Ableton class. I don’t really “write” automation because I think it’s usually easier (for me) to draw it. I set up a shortcut to create an automation lane for the last touched param. I used to be too lazy to do tons of automation, but since I learned this trick I’m just like “yep 5 automation lanes no big deal.” EDIT: Actually… I just realized we might mean different things. I have HoRNet AutoGain but for some reason I never got the hang of it. I feel like I have learned some cool stuff in that department recently, but can’t think of anything right now… most of my gains will probably be from making intelligent use of basic things like templates and shortcuts and whatnot. One of my goals in the near future is to improve my workflow in REAPER so that I can get annoying bits out of the way and just have fun creating. I’m definitely interested in this thread.

I like Reaper the way you can set to touch and automate anything on the fly

For me it has to be practical, easy to do, sound good and (hopefully) be cheap.

Also, you could easily save it as a track template to set up automatically.įeel free to ignore if you’re not interested, but I enjoy this stuff! I’m not a techno-geek kind of guy. A little tricky to explain in just a few paragraphs, but just watch the first three, maybe four, minutes of the video, he explains it perfectly.

Then you create a simple send from that duplicate track to the vocal track, and configure the parameter modulation window to receive input from the duplicate track, and reverse the direction of the parameter modulation (so that when the volume on the duplicate track goes up, the modulation control goes down). Here’s the video: “Why you’ll never have to use Vocal Rider again”īriefly, you insert any plugin on your vocal track that has a gain slider (in the video he uses Waves Q10, but you can use any plugin with a gain slider).Ĭreate an envelope for the volume/gain slider on that track, and open it’s parameter modulation window.Ĭreate a duplicate of the vocal track and disable its send to the master. Good stuff.Īnyway, for post #1, I’m going to link to an interesting clip that shows how you can use the included ReaPlug VSTs to actually create an automated workflow to do gain riding automation on a vocal (or really any) track. REAPER also comes with a complete library of pretty impressive plugins (“ReaPlugs”) that include pretty much anything you’d need (compression, EA, distortion, blah, blah, blah). Well, at least that’s what makes it so popular. The stuff you can do with its routing capabilities and skins and configuration possibilities is perhaps unparalleled. The depth of what it can do just floors me. For non-REAPER users, maybe pique your curiosity and give some exposure to how versatile this DAW is. For all the REAPER users out there, hopefully this will not be boring, old stuff for you, but things you might not be familiar with, and stuff you can use. Okay, so just for the fun of it, I thought I’d start a small handful of posts about cool things you can do with REAPER.
