I am a middle aged woman, I don’t play an instrument, don’t know what reaper is and don’t own a computer… but I still watched this video…
hi mom!! 😇
😂😂@@Reapertips
you are awesome
reaper god is back 😍❤
This is 100% the best Reaper channel as far as I'm concerned, awesome stuff!
The highest quality Reaper videos on the internet. I've seen similar solutions from other resources but none of them were this comprehensive and well put together. Thanks Reaper messiah.
Woaaa, thank youu! I super appreciate this 😭
@@Reapertips Pls never stop making these videos.
I´m a classical guitar player, and I do very basic recording stuff for the moment, I always used Reaper, because it´s also capable of doing basic video editing. The software was always great to me, but this channel of yours is really the one to go...your instructions are like a piece of art !! Thanks so much for your amazing work👌🙏 Greets from Austria
There's another reason why this is a godsend and the BEST idea I've ever seen for the effect: converting your stuff to music sheet! Since you are quantizing and gating the annoying noises you get a really solid foundation for any transcription. Brilliant stuff ❤
This theme should be paid for .. it should be official
Wanted to ask, what theme is this??
@@galgogergo Reaper tips theme.. it's free
It's amazing - I highly recommend you donate to Alejandro because the theme is just world class
Thank you, Reaper has so many amazing features that I would have never discovered on my own
Please never stop making this videos 🙏🙏🙏 they have helped me so much
You are insane not in the tips but also the way you edit the videos, so creative man 🌟
I've learnt more things about Reaper in this video than the last 6 years using it 🤯the Menu Editor thing would have saved me TONS of hours. And will do it. Thanks mate you are fuckin awesome!!
Thanx, Alejandro! Great job!
It's like you're in my head. These tutorials have been such a boon in my creative process. I am so so grateful for you, my friend. This channel you have created is something special!
This is great, my man. Appreciate ya!!
Absolutely amazing Alejandro!
Very nice one Alejandro, Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, thank you!!!
Just what I needed this week to work on my track! Thanks Alejandro🤘
Yesss! I’ve been needing this custom action! Been doing it the long way this whole time. Thank you so much
Can’t wait to use this! I love the breakdown of the custom action too, amazing work as always thank you!
Thanks for the tip!
That’s Fantastic! Thank you!
once you know reaper it literally leaves any other daw in the dust.. its so good. Great video thanks
Thank you for sharing this!
You are my idol!!! Awesome video as always! Thank you for sharing!
Wow, this midi conversion is so quick, I can finally live my dreams as a one-hit wonder!
Thanks Alejandro, this works great and is super useful !
The best solution to a convoluted process - THANKS LOADS!
AMAZING CONTENT! =)
*SUBSCRIBED* Holy moly this is great.
you are great!! Thank you very much for your great work!!!
Another great video, as usual! I've been learning a lot from you, Alejandro! Thanks a bunch!
Aw thank you so so much! Makes me happy to hear :D
Just found your channel - excellent stuff!
ooo thank you a lot!!
Dude this is a really good one. Thank you for sharing 🎉
so awesome to hear thank youu justin!!
OUTSTANDING !!! Thank you so much for sharing these tips It is mind blowing !
Thank you so much for all of your work. I am enjoying the Reaper theme you created. Now I will work on this fantastic tip. It didn't separate the midi from the audio file, so I will try and see how to fix it.
Great content!
Holy crap. Amazing content.
Brilliant! You're crushing it, I've gotten so many awesome workflow tips from your channel. Keep it up!
thank you so so so muuuch!!!
This was great!!!!!!!!!!! I have been looking for a way to do this forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great ..Thanks brother 👍
I've been looking for a video like this for many years. Spot on with your content choices. Thank you so much for everything you do on this channel. Without the information from this channel I'm more like a frustrated monkey in the dark, swinging for the fence. You help me make creating music easier. 😁
I'm very neurodivergent and Reaper is pretty overwhelming. Just watching you setup an Action was causing my brain to go ...Nah... too much. It's a struggle. That said, I so appreciate your effort! I'm familiar with Reaper at the most basic of levels. That is, I essentially have only used it to "master" my original tracks composed and output entirely from my Roland Fantom 08. Pretty challenging since I'm strictkly using the Roland (mainly to force learning and mastery of the workstation). Taking the stereo mix and tweeking it makes my songs sound so much better. Of course props to the pros I've learned from regarding mixing and mastering. I am no pro. LOL Also, typical of a beginner...I'm broke. So, thanks for the free theme! Maybe, down the road, when things are better, I will definately buy you a cup of coffee! Thanks again!!! Regarding the Midi, I do want to try this out. I can see how this might be good with the new AI tools that yoink out the instrument lines. Bass...Vocal...etc. From there, Midify the notes and use that as inpiration to remix or hybrid with original compositions. Doing this with chords to learn chord progressions in Midi...and modify the rhytnm and melodies... etc. Very usefull what you have shown.
There's a free vst called NeuralNote that uses ai to do this, it also supports more complicated stuff like polyphonic chords and pitch bends.
NeuralNote is awesome
Having something quick for more simple stuff is good too
I'm keen to see how this compares
Yes!! I super recommend this. I use this for the more complicated stuff since it allows for polyphonic. ReaTune is my go-to since it can be done so quickly and works great most times, then MK Slicer (REAPER script) for transients to midi stuff~
Thanks, I followed your instructions and now I have my own Audio to Midi action in action!
YESS! 🤩
Finally, a way to make my cat's meows into a symphony, thank you!
This is gold❤
Great information presented in a very professional and clear way!
Means a lot thank you!!
Very good and clear use of Reaper.
aw glad it was helpful! :D
Excellent video!
hi!! thank you so much :D
Justo lo que estaba buscando
No soy muy buen pianista que digamos 😅
Te agradezco mucho bro ✌😎
Just bought you a coffee, Alejandro. Much love and respect from Mumbai, India. This is great stuff. THank you so much for sharing. I just had to add "Crop to active take in items" and it works like a charm. THank you so much again.
Fantastic video, Alejandro! I'm learning so much from you about writing with MIDI :) Incidentally when you hit "edit shortcut" on an FX chain you can just cancel out of the dialog without actually entering a shortcut - it will still appear in the action list so can be used in custom actions. Saves a step and saves those keyboard shortcuts from getting cluttered!
Hohoho that's good!! I always just smash my keyboard and do a crazy shortcut that I will never use hahahaha
You sir are a gift to all reaper users and to the world!
I love your Reaper Theme which i think is the best out there and i will propose to add it as Reaper Theme directly in the DAW.
And i Absolutely Love your Reaper tutorials.
Thank you!
You are amazing. 😊
Thanks Alejandro!
thank youuu for being here!
So useful!! I'd love to have the same process with drums. Kinda like Beat Detective to trigger some sounds along drum hits.
Genius!
Very impressive.
highly efficient!
I think I found my Reaper channel, subscribed and a thumbs up.
yaay welcome aboard :D

✏One thing I wanted to add: This ReaTune method is my go-to, and it's perfect for monophonic stuff. Since it can be turned into an instant custom action, it feels frictionless, and most times it gives me a very solid starting point. However, there are times when I need more advanced stuff.
Here's what I suggest:
• For polyphonic/bending, use NeuralNote. This is a free VST.
• For transients/drums, use MK Slicer. This is an incredible REAPER script that can do transients to MIDI really well (and many more things! I might make a full video on this).
SUUUUUUUUUUPER INTERESTING THX!!!!!!!!!!!
I set up this custom action late last night. GOD is it nice! I only had a quick moment to test it, but I applied it to a vocal take and had an instant midi melody. Just great.
Isn't it so satisfying?! When I got it to work I was sooo excited. It's just such a convenient button to have!
you are best of the best. well done. good evening from greece
Exellent!!
Great tips as always! Is it possible to convert single track drums audio to midi somehow?
sos el mejor !!!
Holy cow, amazing video! I came to learn one thing and learned 50 others haha, thank you so much. Also your reaper tips theme is awesome, I'm wondering if it's all black on the Windows version like it is for Mac? The one thing I can't stand about most dark themes on Windows is every menu has white, FX chains, even the main reaper window, at the top it's always bright white. Does the Windows version theme make all reaper windows black like it does in your Mac version? Again, fantastic video! Subscribed 💪🏻
You`re always find fun ways to use reaper !
Man you've just given me back my sanity after all the years chasing tails. Thanks again.
Your videos are so helpful to artists. Thank u so much for doing this for free. Hopefully u win the lottery or something as karma
Hahaha that'd be amazing (or a curse?) thank you so much!
Ur a genius man👏
hahaha thank you so much!!
I would love to see how you mixed this!
That is really impressive and was much needed too.
Coming from ableton I was looking for that feature for a while.
The next challenge now is: drum beats midi extraction
"ak5k_Drums to MIDI"
That script exists
Ableton is pretty impressive that it gives a 1 click solution but there's no room for any control, you kinda have to blindly trust the software.
Im gonna download this theme❤, thnx bro
hope you dig!!
Hey Alejandro, I've been loving your Reaper theme and color palette! Awesome video! Quick question. Do you know if it's possible to do something like this but strictly for rhythmic music notes (not melodic) like 8th, 16th, 32nd, triplets etc?? For example, scatting drum patterns with your mouth then converting that audio to midi to be used by a drum sampler to trigger one shot samples. Any idea how to do something like this without having to do alot of midi editing post recording? Thanks for all of your awesome work bro! Much respect! ✌😎 - Cole Mize
Hi Cole!! thank you so much so glad to hear! For drum tracks I would highly suggest looking into the script called MK Slicer! It's amazing :D I was gonna mention it in this video but I think it deserves its own video since it can do so many things~
reaper is so tempting😂
This is great!!! Thank you 🙏 Now question: this is a crazy idea but is there a way to convert mic drum pads, from the captured WAV hits to MIDI triggers??? Have an amazing day 🤘
Yeeeep! look into MK Slicer script, it's my favorite way to get transients into MIDI super fast!
@@Reapertips no way 😳 I'm checking it right away!!! Thank you, thank you 🙏
Thanks for the awesome video, and the best Reaper theme! I have found that you don't even need to assign a shortcut for the FX, just hit cancel when it prompts for the shortcut key, and when you search the action list, you will find the FX listed. I'm on windows, so I'm not sure about this on a MAC.
Same for me. Strange but it works.
The dream video! Thank you so much! I still have one question, can you do this with drums too? Or do you need to set up the transient threshold if i remember correctly
Thank you so muuch!! For drum tracks I would highly suggest looking into the script called MK Slicer! It's amazing :O I was gonna mention it in this video but I think it deserves its own video since it can do so many things~
@@Reapertips can't wait for that video!!
@@aryabanerjee1179 will upload some time today 😎
There's on-track MIDI-editor. As far as I remember it's hotkey E on MIDI-item.
I've abused the hell out of reatune - slamming full tracks into it and outputting MIDI of madness (because when you've got multiple instruments going it gets confused over what notes to use) - I then use these as the structures for new songs. Not realistic, not hugely useful except as a creativity prompt - but a lot of fun if there's no stakes.
As a guitar player, I’m curious if this would help to figure out guitar solos in recordings that I’m having trouble with, as I don’t have the greatest ears. I’ll have to give this a shot. Thank you.
Alejandro is one of the coolest guys on CZcams!
I was using a version of this process for years until i discovered a plugin(at the time was free, i dont know if it still that way) called Neural Note, which does the same thing in more practical way except for the thing of make the guitar trigger the piano sound
Thank you so much. Great tip.
Would you confirm that this process of audio to midi conversion works mainly on monophonic audio source?
Thank you again for sharing these precious knowledges on my favorite daw reaper.
Thank you soooo much! - Yess, this should cover all of the simple monophonic stuff really well.
For more advanced stuff, I would go with:
• Neural Note (third-party free VST) for polyphonic stuff
• MK Slicer (REAPER script) for drums/transient stuff
This was great. I found I had to place another action (@ position 14 in your action list) Take: Delete active take from items. Otherwise I had the two takes on the same track. (Reaper V 7.16 Win 11)
Ah okay! I have it like that because I like the two takes. The first being the original source and the second the midi. So if I ever need to go back to the source it will be the previous take.
BTW you can disable show multiple lanes for takes with ctrl/cmd + L
10:30 hello there nice job. I think you don’t need to choose a shortcut, just close the shortcut window and it will appear in the list.
Amazing!
amazing workflow!
Is there a similar way to do this with drums? For example: to take a stereo drum track and turn it into to midi?
Thank you very much! You rock!
hellooo! Yess. For drum tracks I would highly suggest looking into the script called MK Slicer! It's amazing :D I was gonna mention it in this video but I think it deserves its own video since it can do so many things~
@@Reapertipsthank you very much! It would be amazing to see your workflow on that!
This looks like a very useful action.
I got hung up at 10:00. Although I have SWS installed correctly, when I go to FX browser and FX Chains, "Misc/Audio to Midi" doesn't appear in the list.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
does it works with chords?
where can I put the piano in a folder.. i have tried but didnt work
FINALLY
hehe great :-D this is the way i sued form y video "announcement" to turn my audio into MIDI for the "VU" FX I use on DaVinci :-D
work with poliphonic sounds?
Any chance it can fo chords yet?
does this app also record pitch benders?
Big thanks! Very power action! I have completely repeated both the FX chain and the Custom Action - all the steps are one in one, but now I have two takes displayed in one item: wave and MIDI. Not like yours. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
Hi Bob, thank you! Maybe it's showing all takes? You can press ctrl + L to toggle the view to show a single take
@@Reapertips Oh yeah. I've already figured it out. Thank you for answering! And thanks again for the powerful action. 👍
