Beatmaking In Reaper

loop recording midi thats the one I wanted to watch actually. You need to right click on the track and choose loop overdub and make a new empty midi clip otherwise it punches in a random spot and you have to glue it.(2:43)

• automatic arm when track selected
• in actions list set:
• track: go to next/prev track (ctrl alt down or num pad down (num 8/9))
• r click, track recording settings, quantize on input
• make sure you have sws extensions so you can get rs5k for reasamplomatic
• ive got it mapped to f1

hot to set up rs5k setting up reapers piano rollalsa is giving me bad latency on linu mint with pulse audio. jack would probably work better but I hate dealing with that so I'm looking for a way to improve the piano roll and just draw everything in. The problem is the piano roll has no grid lines.(oh its alt G to fix that)

• in piano roll: options > cc velocity lane > show note length
• view > piano roll notes > show velocity and names
• options > drawing or selecting note sets note length
• options > midi and mouse modifiers > dropdown to midi piano roll > left click set default action from deselect all notes and move edit cursor to just insert
• actions > set alt u to split notes on grid(like fl)
• r click tool bar > customize toolbar, you can add chordgun chord shortcuts to toolbar!
• options > shift left drag set it to just select instead of off grid note grow
• i have f4,f3, mapped to pull up chordgun
• shift + numbers inserts chord
• cmd b = sws render tracks to stereo stem tracks obeying time selection (bounce in place)

Hackytracky (renoise keybinds)

• ctrl + shift return = duplicate pattern
• space + shift/space = play, play from
• ctrl + up/down switch midi item
• return = loop

2 shortcuts to make the reaper piano roll more like fl

ctrl + mousewheel	view: zoom vertically (MIDI CC relative/mousewheel)
multivert	view: adjust vertical scroll (MIDI CC / osc only)

iddqd's tutorials are so essential i mapped num 1/2 to transpose updown and shift num 1/2 for octave like groovin in g. 5 and shift 5 for moving in 5ths. (first time creating custom actions v cool!). zebra shading was something i was really missing from fl (being able to see 8 bar chunks. Turning off the looping of midi clips in the set it and forget it vid
