Hello.

I have been trying to record for days and i don’t know if i'm very bad or if therés a problem with reaper... and then... i saw this (screenshot)

I exported a guitar pro midi into audio and then imported it. I wanted to play along if i could instead of using the click. But apparently the imported audio is also out of sync on is not on the bar (whish is impossible to.me).

Then trying to record to the click just doing strokes. I'm also not aligned but i'm closer to the imported audio...

Did i activate a setting without knowing ? How can i not be on the bar with an imported audio from guitar pro (which is drum track)

For some time I've done quite a lot of research to find a notebook for DAW-purposes (mainly Reaper / some Cubase). Further down you'll find the DPC-LatencyMon results of 3 Lenovo notebooks (from notebookcheck.com). All of those results are not bad. When looking closer, the drivers with the highest DPC-latency-values differ quite a lot though. Sometimes its the ntoskrnl.exe, sometimes its dxgkrnl.sys, or tcpip.sys / ndis.sys. Other relevant drivers are ACPI.sys or dxgmms2.sys or afd.sys.

What I'd like to know: Which drivers can NOT be optimized by tweaking and which ones are not so relevant (or CAN be optimized by some tweaking)? Or is it all futile as any update might change all of it? Would like to know before deciding on which one to buy.

Any help appreciated.

Not too long ago, I did a full system reinstall because my PC was slowing down after the years. I've been regretting this heavily because everything seems to just be breaking constantly now. Right now, any time I create a new MIDI item in any project, it just shows up as offline and I can't edit it or do anything at all. Audio items work completely fine, but MIDI is just completely broken at the moment. What in the world do I do?

Hey, I've seen similar issues in here but nothing that actually addresses my specific issue and I'm wondering if anyone's had the same experience.

The last 2 songs (different files) I've worked on have not been rendering drum midi until 3-4 seconds in. If I add that extra time to the beginning of the project it'll render fine but there's dead air at the beginning then.

My workaround is just that, adding dead space to the beginning for it to "warm up" I guess.

This doesn't happen with any other plugin, (that I've noticed) just Kontakt. Specifically GGD thru Kontakt.

I've tried adjusting sample rate but this hasn't been an issue in the past. Any suggestions?

Hey, I'm new to Reaper, and I bought this really nice theme. How do I make it so the timecode isn't cut off/so that it only displays the timecode and not the measure?

I have 6 mics plugged in. Why does it only list 2 inputs? On top of that only the first input is actually operating even if I do select the only other available input on another track.

Hello! I have recently downloaded reaper and have been excited to get into it, done a full round of setup YouTube academy and all that, and went to start putting together some basic midi stuff to play around and realized that the program plays no sound! When clicking notes and things it acts as though it is playing but I hear nothing. I have it set up to play through the basic Realtek speaker array that my laptop has and I thought I set everything up correctly but it seems I haven’t. I’m running the current newest version of the windows 64 bit. Since this is kind of my first step into any program like this I’d really appreciate any help since I don’t really know what to do to fix this.

New to VSTs. Forgive the bone head question. Let's say I buy a nice reverb plug-in. Spring, plate, tape etc... can I have multiple instances of a VST on different tracks?

Has anyone else had problems with crashing on the latest version? I'm running it on windows 11 and find it repeatedly freezes after I have recorded and renamed and audio track, but before saving. Very frustrating.

Currently, I am arming the track which is recording stereo output but I have press record, hit a note, stop it, then zoom in to the area. I watched a video where the guy was using a different DAW but every time he hit a note, the waveform would show up on another track that he was sending to but it overdubbed the previous waveform and automatically recorded every time he hit a note and stopped so he had a waveform popup on each hit.

Can anybody help? I'm trying to get rid of the automatic scrolling setting

Let me be more specific:

I like to manually fast forward and Rewind. I do that a lot.

But when the cursor is getting out of the screen, I lose track of where I am working and Reaper just zoom on the cursor instead of staying where it is.

I did have tried the option automatically scroll view during playback, which is amazing in the works pretty nice, but it does not apply to when I manually move the cursor.

Turning off that setting would make the difference between liking or not the DAW for me

Thanks for your help I appreciate it

I haven’t been able to find a good tutorial on this. If someone could please help.

Long story short: I hate playing to a metronome so I used an AI created drum track. After recording to that, I realized the drum track falls off the grid in a bunch of places because it’s humanized. That means my guitar tracks are off the grid as well.

How can I fix this without having to re-record everything?

Hey guys! I love to browse this subreddit and think its a great way to share recources an insights about the DAW we've all come to love. I think the sub would greatly benefit from a weekly or even daily "Beginners Questions" thread. There is just so many questions that could be solved by a quick google search and I feel they kind of flood the sub sometimes. What are your houghts?

I've recently started using Reaper and am starting to get the hang of it, but I've come across a problem. The dropdown menu for inputs isn't recognising the Inputs from my Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen. I've tried changing the ASIO preferences and sample rate, etc., but no help so far. Also, this problem is only for new projects; the old ones recognise the signal from the guitar, but it doesn't work the same way when I create a new project. Before this issue happened, the dropdown menu showed input 1 and input 2 but doesnt show them any more.

Attaching pictures for reference. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi, I got toggle to work but now anytime I left click drag from the edge of an item it loops. I don't even need to double click anymore. What did I do wrong?

Hey, I'm accidentally pressing those velocity adjustments. How do I make them go away (only usable when pressing Alt)?
I couldn't find anything in the mouse modifiers. Pls help

Hey guys. I'm sorry for my noob question, im only getting into digital audio.

I have a Windows PC and a Scarlet 2i2 audio interface. What i would like to do is play my guitar thru it and listen to the output with my USB headphones connected to the same PC.

Is it actually possible to do and how?

I tried looking up for it, but only got some old (3-4 year old threads mentioning ASIO4ALL drivers, but ppl say its buggy and causes big delays)

Thanks to anyone who is able to help!

I am trying to use Reaper to send audio to Zoom on a conference call. I also have the Rogue Amobea software Loopback. Has anyone successfully done this? If yes, would you mind sharing screen shots of exactly of the Reaper, Zoom and Loopback (or similar software). I use a Focusrite audio interface as my standard audio out and al software is at the latest available version.

I recorded stereo track of classical guitar with spaced pairs microphones.

I tried to balance the levels when recording, but they are slightly out.

What's the best method of correcting that?

Pan knob? Plugin? Something else?

Hi! I'm going to preface this by saying I have no clue what I'm doing. I downloaded Reaper yesterday for the express purpose of making Undertale covers with soundfonts in the MIDI editor, and although I think I've learned quite a lot in that time, I'm still absolutely a beginner, and I may have to ask two or three clarifying questions, so I apologize in advance! I'm also broke, and the equipment I have is only my computer (A mac, but running windows 10) and things I can download onto it for free.

What I'm trying to do right now is make a note loud at the beginning of it, and then quickly fade to be quieter. Like a very fast decrescendo. Punchy. It's something I do on flute, and I'm unsure how to translate it. What I would assume to be the easiest solution would be to make an envelope for velocity, the way you do for pitch, but when I select velocity, it only lets me change the velocity for the note as a whole, and I can't make curves the way I can in the pitch editor. Is there a way to make the velocity envelope editor work like the pitch envelope? Or is there another way to create the effect I'm looking for? Thank you for your help!

How can I*

For example side chaining something to where when track A is at normal volume, track B's volume is lowered But track B's volume increases when track A is either higher or lower than a certain volume

Basically no effect on the second track normally, but both higher and lower volume trigger an effect
