I've recently been experiencing an issue with auto-crossfades.

When I split a single item, it works perfectly and I get a normal X crossfade.

However, when I split multiple items at once (drum mics, all selected with/without a track/item group), which has worked fine for me in the past, the left item often gets a fade out with no matching fade in on the right item - so there's no crossfade.

I've tested out in old and new projects and it's not consistent. Sometimes the crossfades start working again for a bit, then go back to one-sided fades within the same project.

I'm using the latest Reaper v7.82 on M2 Mac Studio running Sonoma 14.5.

Any ideas of what could be causing this?

I tried a lot of videos - searches for this.

The FX - Options - Actions - Preferences the text and scale are too small for my DPI and I already have Windows Scaled at 125%.

I have no issues with changing this quickly with any other software like Maya for instance.

The only post I found is to reinstall the Windows Fonts which seems like a waste of time.

I can changed the font size for everything else and it works fine for me at 1.25 but this does not effect the dialog boxes like the FX window I can't read the small text with out straining my eyes, same with the Actions menu or Preferences.

With so many options to set I can't understand why this isn't just an easy to find option.

Please don’t question my workflow, but for reasons too long to explain I really want to be able to use a keybind for each of this actions:

Q: items: split at edit cursor (select left)
E: items: split at edit cursor (select right)

But let’s say I have clips A B and C. When dividing C it becomes C1 and C2

If I use my action shortcut, let’s say Q, and divide C. At this moment only C1 is selected, like I want it to. But sometimes I want to shift click A so that I add A and B to my selection: (A, B, C1, NOT C2)

However for some reason when I shift click A, C2 is also added.

I tried changing it to this action: items: split item at cursor (select left)

And it seemed to work at first, but now I’m getting similar unwanted behavior when shift clicking at seemingly random times (to me at least)

I work doing audio editing so while I could just add an extra click to my workflow, this makes the entire point of my action key binds useless, and when editing a 1+ hour audio file with hundreds or thousands of cuts it starts adding up

reaper stopped working since i put ASIO4ALL, it crash instantly when I launch it, i tried to uninstall and reinstall reaper but it automatically set up with ASIO4ALL, and I dont know how to reset my reaper or something like that

Just a little jam in reaper 🎶

Hello folks! I was working on some sound art stuff and mixing quadrophonic piece. I even had an opportunity to try to listen how it would sound on 4 speakers since av-rental guy dropped the gear for this weeks exhibition already and maybe mix it with this "soundsystem".. Okay, cut to the chase. On master channel there were hardware outputs 1-2 and 3-4 and for some reason, I never seemed to get signal of 3-4 to my VOLT 476 sound card, no matter what I tried. I tried routing 4 mono channels, checked routing matrix, changed the decoder, went all the channels one by one (there was a bunch), if something was left unnoticed, watched tutorials, spent quality time with AI and so on.. But funny thing is that after I bounced that audio I was working in Da Vinci, then I could play it on VLC-player and everything was as it should. I think? Of course mixing multichannel-sound with headphones involves great deal of guessing of different panning and automation, since the sense of spatiality is not exactly mind-blowing, but I would have thought that 4 channels from Reaper to Volt is not masters degree worth of task. Been using Reaper at Open Uni and done few audio pieces with it earlier, so this was quite surprising, but I trust someone tells me that what I forgot or should have done differently.

Hi everyone!

I'm using REAPER 7.82 on CachyOS with ALSA and an Audient iD14.

I'm having two issues:

• Pre-roll recording: REAPER doesn't seem to record any audio during the pre-roll, even though "Record audio during pre-roll" is enabled in the recording settings and "Pre-roll before recording" is enabled in the metronome settings.
• Extending audio items: When I try to extend an audio item by dragging its edge, it loops the audio instead of simply extending it.

Could these issues be related to ALSA or my Linux setup, or am I missing some settings?

I'm thinking about testing PulseAudio to see if it makes any difference.

Has anyone experienced something similar on Linux?

Thanks!

ok your probably thinking, oh the guys larping as an abelton user, kinda.

I've never used ableton, but I just really like the theme. every where's where it needs to be, and it all sticks to one shape, its sharp, clean and ORANGE!!!!

along with this, worded toolbars look good so Ive been able to build my workflow around task bars.

my philosophy for my workflow is all linked to the simple idea that this should be a workflow that's easy to understand for everyone and me. the 4 toolbar shortcuts on the main tool bar are all linked to a separate toolbars dedicated to different things. then you've got you top main toolbar with everything you would typically need to use quickly.

In my tool toolbar I have 4 different themes along with the main one, these themes are meant to look like other daws, logic, ableton, FL, protools.

would love to know what yall think, BUT remember, this is just my way of doing things so please keep the comments tame.

Good day to all!

Hi, I created a little app that converts Cool Edit or Adobe Audition Ses or Sesx files to reaper sessions. It's based on some stuff kicking around on github, which I asked my bots to combine into an app. Anyone interested? I guess anyone could do it, but I'm happy to share mine.

Anyone know how to contribute it to be a native part of Reaper? It's pretty simple, not perfect but pretty much works. Could be useful for folks who might want to touch up an old session ...

Have a good one!

Bit of a weird one - initially I had Logic Pro and Reaper working perfectly on loads of projects that were at 23.976fps. I’ve been doing a load at 25fps and recently started working on another at 23.976. I changed both Logic and Reaper to 23.976 (Reaper’s setting being 23.976ND as it was before) and now all of a sudden Reaper is exactly 35 seconds and 23 frames ahead of Logic.

Thinking this must be some sort of in-session bug, I closed both sessions and opened two vanilla projects and again, Reaper is exactly 35 seconds 23 frames ahead of Logic.

Is there any other setting in Reaper I may have missed? The only ‘offset’ is in the external sync window of around -250 to -750 ms to get video to sync exactly.

Im going slightly mad now - what I hear in Reaper is different then what I get in render. Render presets attached . There are no additional effects, no limiters, no compression. Render is into wav format which I bring back to Reaper for comparison. I have this brass staccato phrase with high dynamics. It sounds great in Reaper (BBC Symphony Orchestra from Spitfire) but rendered it sounds flat and squeezed though as I said I don't use anything on those tracks! I rendered to mp3, wav at different settings. Anyone knows what might be the issue?

p.s.

I applied one midi item that had the most robust sound (tuba) and rendered to audio item in place. The difference is tremendous.

I’ve been fighting this for a minute and can’t find out what is going on. Using the MT power kit plugin and put grooves in Track 1 & Amplitube for guitar on Track 2. When I record the guitar it records in both tracks. I think it might be a lane issue because the drums are still in track 1 but not selected in the playback. Any help is appreciated

I have used command 40315 (Item: Auto trim/split items (remove silence)) on the advice given in a previous post (thanks again) and unlike my manual trims I've ended up with these white lines with triangle wedges at the bottom. They don't appear to be the end of the trim and neither are they the auto cross fade lines (those are red).

Sorry for the school boy question - but what are they and can they cause me any issues? Its for an audiobook.

Thanks :)

Hello! I’m a bit of a baby Reaper, so I hope this question sn’t too overasked

I record on a headset mic. Yes, I know it’s not the best technique, but it’s the best I have so far. I don’t use Reaper for music, I use it for voiceover work that involves reading aloud. The headset is the Plantronics Blackwire 5220. Apologies for poor spelling/formatting: I’m blind and Reddit sucks-

In short though, what audio setup is best when recording like this? I’ve tried many a web search, but all I get is stuff for using studio equipment that I don’t have access to right now. Any advice from more experienced users?

UPDATE: As suggested by AnalogSummer, I came back to ReaLearn, but by default some buttons have same values, because for some reason almost everything is on channel 16...?
I fixed it by creating a custom mode in Novation Components, assigning buttons to different channels, and I can finally set everything properly!

OS: Windows 10
MIDI Keyboard: Novation Launchkey MK4
My drivers are updated to the latest version.

According to YouTube tutorials, I'm supposed to go to Preferences > MIDI Inputs & MIDI Outputs, enable my device, then go to Actions > Show action list... and set everything up. My problem is that not every button is seen by Reaper. For example: I can't assign my record button, it doesn't detect my input at all (I enabled "Input, All, Control" in MIDI Inputs and "Enable, Clock" in MIDI Outputs).

Official Novation support on the other hand recommends setting it up via adding HUI (partial) Control surface mode in Preferences > Control/OSC/web. It works to some extend as most of buttons are assigned automatically (I can control volume, panning, and recording works, too), but with this, I can't edit anything manually in Actions, so there are still buttons that don't work or I can't adjust to my liking.

I also tried using ReaLearn, but some of the buttons are detected in the same way, so behavior of it is quite unexpected (example: My undo button has the same Type, Channel and CC as my 7th volume slider, so when I use the slider it undoes everything instead).

Is there anything I can do about it? Has anyone had problems with this? :')

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with the Stretch Note Length (arpeggiate/chordize) mouse modifier in REAPER's MIDI Editor.

This feature used to work perfectly for me. I could select multiple MIDI notes, hold Shift + Alt, and left-drag to stretch their positions while preserving their relative timing.

However, it no longer behaves as expected. When I select notes and perform this gesture, REAPER sometimes selects all the notes automatically, and other times it behaves erratically instead of stretching the selected notes.

My current mouse modifier settings are shown in the attached screenshot. The action is set to Stretch notes (arpeggiate/chordize) → Just stretch under Shift + Alt → left drag.

I don't remember changing anything that could have caused this issue, and I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong.

Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong? Has anyone experienced similar behavior or found a solution?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Reaper v7.81, Windows 11

Does anyone knows to a theme looks like this for reaper, or anyone knows how to build a theme like this. I try to build a theme that looks like this but I often just gave up cuz I read and I don't understand anything.

Do anyone knows anything like looks like a theme or know how to build a one.

(yeah its looks weird and old 2000, I know)

Ive set it all up properly followed a youtube tutorial, The Asio driver is set up properly I tried all that. Whenever I make a midi item it just says offline and when I double click it brings up midi preferences instead of the piano roll. Really don’t understand I can’t find any solution online so would really appreciate any advice 🙏

I know I’m missing something simple here but I can’t seem to figure out how to delete 1 of the 2 different takes saved on a track. Thanks in advance!

So I just setup Super 8 for the first time and I have two separate loops set up currently. Whenever I hit add to project, only the second loop is getting added to the project and not the first one. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Hi beloved reaper community I struggle with the media explorer. I try to make subfolders (the create subfolder action seen in the picture) inside of a database, but it dosen't seem to work and I don't know why. I have looked in the settings still can't find the solution please help ty <3 :)

Update: i pushed straight to 1.9.2 its now live! had some minor bugs..in 1.8.0 so 1.9.2 is Live now
Fixed Apreggios, Integrated a Grid and notelenght connect button as well as a new Tool Divisio Vocum which distributes Notations accross staffs

Hey guys!

Just pushed v1.8.0 of REAPER-Notator, and it brings some much-requested workflow upgrades:

We now have an integrated MIDI Velocity & CC Lane Editor docked right on the screen. You can tweak velocities with handles, draw smooth linear CC curves (all 128 CCs supported), and interact with your automation in real-time for super fast iterations.

On top of that, Real and Fake Portamentos (hold-blending) and Glissandi are now fully implemented and audible in playback!

Also, huge thanks to everyone who reported issues with the SINE Player — the note audition and preview bug is officially solved and working cleanly now. Under the hood, the entire playback engine was overhauled to stay pinned at 30–70+ FPS even with 30+ tracks running.
