    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 ❤

  • @ConsciousSingularity
    @ConsciousSingularity Před 28 dny

    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.

  • @MrXorrito

    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!

    ✏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).

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 💪🏻

    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

    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.

    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
