Even at 6 years old, this video pointed me in the right direction on rendering my midi track that I had recorded and quantized. Just needed to get that to an audio file. Thank you!
Thank you for this tutorial. Very helpful. I had no idea how freezing tracks worked.
James Singleton my pleasure, glad it helped 🤘
This contained all the information I was hoping to get. Amazing.
cool! Now if I make some tutorials in Reaper, I can pretend like I have a real drummer, not a midi drum machine
Hiya Butt ;-) I've got to be honest, among the mountain of things on youtube it's fantastic to hear a fellow welsh mans accent. Videos are great and I've only just found them. Johnny from San Portablo
Very useful, guys and I agree as I'm a heavy user of VST, works great. Usually I render the Track and mute the originals. However, there's one thing I wanted to point out. Take care that you do not render/free all (!) the individual tracks to mono. The room mics and overheads for example are stereo. And make sure you pan the tracks centered (like toms or hats) before rendering them.
Mike Luke good points and I covered the use of mono and stereo rendering / freezing in more detail in there own video recently. 🙂👍
ReaperTV I know, love your Channel and what you're doing. Just wanted to make sure people don't get confused 😎
Top man, and always worth making sure to avoid confusion :0)
finally I found this lesson, so I can save more cpu n memory
Thanks cuss!! And for showing the different ways to flip the midi
I must be missing something - every time I try this, it just outputs a bunch of blank WAV files. What other settings/options need to be selected to make this work properly? I'm using EZDrummer just like in the video, following the steps exactly, and nothing.
Did you find a solution? I have the same issue
@@HotShotMaggie I did...but haven't had to do it for almost a year now and no can't remember wtf I did to fix it lol. Keep googling or check the reaper subreddit!
can anyone give me the answer for this please
ThankYou Sir Once Again God Bless & Cheers
It is complicated at first but amazing what it can do.
Hi Paul, thank you for a very useful video (like the rest of all your others). You mentioned in passing that if outboard sounds are used a different method altogether of rendering is required. This is my problem at the moment. Do you have a specific video on this topic, in which case I would be grateful if you could share the link. And if not, could you give a few words of advice with this regard? Many thanks indeed.
I don't know why ? BUT WHEN I RENDER I I got an empty wav file after rendering .. what I missed? But on the addictive drums it works , other plugin it is not
Super helpful! Was looking for this
Found you out in the wild lol
@@irawretched6990 Leveling in up in the wilderness as usual mate! 😁
Great stuff - thanks Paul!
Working with a client who is struggling with routing MIDI tracks from one track to another. Such as when you have a VST playing an arp and you want to capture the MIDI data (not the audio) of the arp AFTER the MIDI notes go through the VST. This is easy peasy in Ableton, but I ma finding it very difficult to locate this option in Reaper. Do you have a video on this topic?
When rendering MIDI to audio... do you set/mix all your track volumes and panning BEFORE rendering or do you do that once all the tracks are audio? Thanks!
why can't I just go to render project and render everything at once? when i have multiple miditracks it renders just the first track
I received drums from my drummer all as one big midi file. So i hit the explode midi item by pitch option so now i have like 16 tracks of individual drum pieces. Trouble is, when i render the midi tracks i end up with blank wav files, presumably because the audio is coming from the original track that i exploded. Is there a way around this?
Thanks for the video. In my case I have MIDI notes but I play them out to my MIDI keyboard, which has headphones plugged into it. This is how I am able to hear the sounds. However if I turn off my MIDI keyboard then there is no way the MIDI notes can be heard. How can I render the MIDI track via my MIDI keyboard (to catch whatever sound settings I have put there), before going to a WAV track? Thanks!
I would assume you are using your midi keyboard as the audio interface using inbuilt sounds like a digi piano? If that is that case you would have to rout the audio out of your keyboard to your computer to record the sounds. That or use VSTs in reaper on your computer to make the sound by using your keyboard only for midi input and having a computer audio interface.....
What a great tutorial! Thanks a lot!
Paul - I realize I'm late to the party but how did you get the icons - Busses? - in top left. Been looking all over and can't find...Many thanks...
exxcellent. you can do the same with addictive drummer 2.. i freeze my mono sepperate from the stereo. awesomness!
So Thats great!... But... I need the midi file out from reaper to send it to a friend.. Not the wave file.. The midi (.midi) file... How could I do That?
Have problem with some MIDI tracks rendering badly (missing notes, gap in audio etc.) Mostly with long notes (strings). I read in a forum that this can sometimes be fixed by rendering the MIDI track in real time. However, I cannot find this option. Is there a way to render one or more MIDI tracks in real time? Thanks!
maybe is bc of the buffer size?
If i m not wrong, then this feature i.e. rendering midi tracks into wav or audio files was introduced in cubase 8 pro.... n this feature exists in reaper... seems like reaper is very underrated.... its just as powerful as cubase or pro tools or any industry standard daw but its too underrated..
This did not work for me. I can see the input level flowing to my bounce track, but it never records anything. :(
3:45 wheres the link in the description?
I've been looking for a tutorial on how to bounce the midi to separate audio tracks (snare, kick, etc) and cant find any tutorials on it. I can do it In Pro tools but Reaper alludes me. I've looked for many tutorials and cant find one yet. Please help me. :-)
Without freezing them. Bounce so they're like normal audio tracks. Bounce straight from the main Midi file to separate audio files on the tracks. (Hopefully I'm making sense) If not, I can make a quick video using Pro Tools to show you what I mean.
Tnx
I love reaper and desperately want to stay but there is ONE THING that is almost about going to force me to switch out and it has to do with vst's... Like say I record a song using Trillian for bass.. When I go to bounce or convert to wav it will cut the tails of the notes or just drop notes all together. I've asked, looked at settings, etc and nothing... I cam get past the ugly case of how customizable it is.. But that handling of vst's when converting has been wearing me down... Other then that it's a phenomenal DAW
Same here. Very frustrating, and no-one seems to have an answer! :(
George Falconer because of that I have recently switched to presonus studio one 3... I love reaper but man couldn't get a solution for this problem. And since I mostly use plug ins. Couldn't get passed it.
Bummer...I would think this would be a common issue for many and would have been fixed. Its all Native Instruments VST's that are driving me nuts. "The Gentleman" piano in particular.
George Falconer I feel you. For me it's usually bass vst's. Trillian or Scarbee.. Notes just drop or cut off when rendering. Maybe one day someone will figure it out. Cause I've asked all these guys that make tutorials and none of them ever respond. I've asked in the forums and also no response...
I'm going to approach it from the NI side, seems there's been some debate on their forums (fora!) about this.

Thanks so much for this, how can i get this black theme ?
is there any way to render or freeze it Pre fader and FX??
stupid question, but how do you select multiple tracks at once? i tried the regular ,,hold down left click and select,, but it did not work.
Select the first track, hold 'shift' then select the last track. Or select individual tracks (not necessarily together) by holding Ctrl and selecting desired tracks.
thanks man, helped a lot!
do you know when and why to use the latency compensated record option, I've tried it a few times on drum tracks like these and found no difference?
Michael Heslop I've pretty much found the same when testing the options. I'm guessing it may prove useful on larger projects or slower systems. It could also be more of a legacy function. Maybe I need to look into it a little more and see what I can find..
Cool Videos! Hey I am using my guitar through Reatune to trigger a Bass VST (Submission Bass). When I play my guitar it triggers the Bass VST but how do I record it to MIDI? I want to record the Bass VST sounds to MIDI that my guitar is triggering. I can't find any information on how to do this. Thanks! keep up the good videos.
Did you find a method to do that_
May I ask whats the proper routing for this from the midi instrument channel? When I render all the midi tracks end up on one mono wav track? Thanks in advance.
Are you rendering to a mono track or a stereo track when you choose to render the midi sequence?
Also, if you are using multiple tracks being routed (i.e. 16 channel drums) ensure you select ALL tracks and then choose to render to mono or stereo, depending on the track type... for example, individual drum tracks would normally be mono and panned as required.
Apologies, my original question should've stated when I render that all the midi tracks end up on one stereo wav track, not mono track as I mentioned. Currently I'm trying to render to the 6 stereo tracks that preload when I load drumatic as a vst instrument. However when I select the six tracks to render to and select render only the first stereo track renders as a wav file with wave forms and the other 5 are blank wavs. I'm sure its a simple fix but I can't seem to find a solution. Thanks.
Colin O' Dwyer when you play your track back, do you see the meters on all 6 tracks displaying a signal? If not, you'll need to route the audio from your drum VST to the relevant tracks. I've never used the VST you mention so no idea how the multichannel routing would work. It should be pretty straightforward though. That should then allow rendering of all tracks correctly.
ReaperTV perfect. I'm armed with a bit more knowledge now so will investigate and report back. Thanks so much for your time. I really appreciate it. 😀
Colin O' Dwyer my pleasure. I hope it helps you get to the bottom of your problem. 👍
Is it necessary to render MIDI tracks to audio before you begin mixing?
No, it's not necessary. You can mix the midi without any issue, but if you intend to outsource or share the work with others, rendering is the best option as it means they don't need to have the same VST's installed to be able to work on your music.
Thank you. With the help of your videos I'm beginning to get a grip.
My pleasure :)
Mind telling me which theme you're using?
Default Commala is the theme in most of my videos. 🤘😎
@@ReapertvUk Thanks! I have a question about said theme. When I get some projects with tons of tracks, for some reason in the mixer they all become minature versions. I have no clue how to stop this from happening. Have you encountered this problem?
@@jimifriedman18 do you mean they go into multiple rows or just each track layout shrinks down?
can you render just one track and not all?
Yup, choose choose the track or tracks you want to render / freeze and that's it. If you only want one, just choose one. :0)
Hi, and thanks for this video. When I try to record output (MIDI) from a wav file it doesn't do a MIDI track it records soundwaves, am I normally disappointed or doing something wrong to do so ?
Ben Art Vincent Hello, you cannot, under normal circumstances, make a MIDI recording from an audio file. I know Live has an option to create a MIDI file from audio with either monophonic, polyphonic, or rhythmic considerations but that is just computer analysis magic...not accurate, just a cool trick. Remember, MIDI is nothing more than a bunch of control signals used to trigger a sound generating source (external hardware or software...heck even lights)
