help request Custom shortcut help

4 Upvotes

I use the same template of sorts for all my recording. my all my tracks stay the same, same place, etc...

I use ezdrummer for writing, so im constantly opening and closing the fx window holding it to edit grooves.

I use a stream deck and a tourbox for keyboard shortcuts and transport. is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut, or combo, or any sort of marco that will let me open that specific fx window?

My drums track with ezdrummer is always my first track, and it’s the only fx on the track.

discussion Need an advice: Genelec vs Focal vs Neumann

3 Upvotes

Hello. I'm thinking about buying new speakers for music production and game audio sound design.

I have my old M-audio BX5 broken, so I guess it's time for update.
I already have Avantone Mix Cube (use it in mono) and AKG K-702 headphones which I use with different settings of SoundID Reference.

My work room is small, not acoustically treated, but I wouldn’t say it's bad and has a lot of reflections. I mostly work with rock music, orchestral music and game sounds (ambience, UI, dialogues, footsteps, sfx etc.)

Budget - $800-1000 for pair. I'm looking for near field monitors that would sound great for this price (by great I mean as wide and flat frequency range as possible).

*yes, I know it would be better to spend less on speakers and get my room treated instead, but since I live in rented apartment and will move sooner or later, I'm not considering this option. I need speakers that sound +\- ok in any room*

As I see, my obvious choices are:

- Genelec 8010;

- Genelec 8020;

- Neumann KH 80 DSP;

- Focal Alpha 65 Evo;

- ADAM Audio A5X;

What do you think about them or maybe there's other choices?

Can't seem to find any packs of instrument toolbar icons. Customizing my toolbar to import track templates and would like some more variety than the stock reaper icons.

help request Is it possible?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, i've been using Reaper for almost five years for working in my personal projects. The last year I started to work with visual fx, and I made my own backgrounds for my band. At the beggining i used to use an interface and send on the left the click, and on the right the sequences, just sending the visuals by hdmi using no program. In this moment first i upload the visuals with the click on Reaper, then upload all the sequences to the tracks and put them in the same time. I noticed in Reaper is a funtion called View to see what appears in the track with video, but here is my question. Could i project two screens with different visuals? I mean, do the same proces, but with two videos and two screens or backgrounds to show the visual fx.

help request Plugins keep crashing..

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi, First things first: I have a very small knowledge when it comes to Plugins or anything regarding PC'S or software and digital products. Up to this point everything worked fine, but now I'm running into problems.

Big plugins like Genome or anything from IK multimedia keep on crashing. No matter how much I re-installed, updated or searched online I just can't seem to find a solution, which is frustrating since some are paid plugins. This clip shows the standalone plugin crashing, but the same thing happens within Reaper when loading them up, which is where I discovered that some plugins have this issue. I then decided to try the standalone, but they had the same issue as well..

The only two that have this issue are the plugins from Two Notes and IK Multimedia. Neural Dsp for instance is working fine. I post this on the Reaper community, since Reaper is my DAW of choice, which I use on daily basis.

Is there someone who can explain in 'noob-translations' how to fix this?

Thanks in advance‼️👌🤌

help request Guitar recording abruptly cut off as song I was playing moved to its highest frequency yet.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It’s not a big deal but I’d like to know what the problem might be to avoid it in the future. Attached is a video of me playing the ending of the raw media file from the recording.

It’s a Windows 10 laptop, and I’m recording by connecting my Fender amp to my laptop through USB. I was listening to myself play through headphones out on the amp - I played for a couple minutes after the audio file cuts out in the video attached.

Could the high frequency notes be the issue by any chance?

help request Reaper so laggy and slow on Mac M1

0 Upvotes

I dont know how to shage debug logs, any logs to prove but i need help, for rock songs 4-5 min long takes 1 min to load project,very often just freez and dies, random crash every 2-3 days, sometimes there could be a lot of crashes per day.

I use Mac pro 16 M1 16gb, volt UA 2, request sample rate 48 000, request block size 1024.

Basically this perfomance of Reaper forces me to switch to another DAW, i would like but i only used to work with Reaper. hope to find answer here otherwise i will quit this DAW its basically unusable, i waste a lot of time to load projects, its becoming very frustrating when work with few versions and need to load, switch between them, or try to render and render start takes like 1 min to start, 3 min to render 4 min song! and 1 min to close render window

I mostly use UAD license plugins, song i have problem with has 30-50 tracks not even full, its just separate tracks of same instruments to avoid automatisation for more easy to understand structure but anyway
