These tutorial videos, along with a user community all too willing to help the novice overcome obstacles, paired with a DAW you are given on loan, with no set date on repercussion other than to remind you that your 60 trial days have expired before each use is why i love Reaper and chose to pay the small price tag to legitimize a DAW at a fraction of the cost of others with similar features. Thanks Kenny and Thanks Reaper!
Great tutorial! As someone that gets tracks from clients that don't always supply the BPM, this is helpful. I wish Reaper would have a BPM detector (like Logic) to make this more automatic.
Crazy as it seems...I'm learning this right now in a module on an Audio and Music Production degree. I was struggling to keep up with the teacher and this video is exactly what I needed!! Thank you!
The easiest solution is to create a pseudo "Tempo Map" by installing SWS Extensions and using "SWS/BR: Move closest grid line to play cursor". Assign a shortcut key to this custom action (I use "." (period)). Set your grid to ~quarter notes, move the play cursor to the beginning of the transient closest the beat 1 of each measure, and press the shortcut key. This will make your click fall on that transient. You can do it on each quarter note, etc., or skip a series of bars that stay on beat. You will end-up with a variety of (closely matching) tempos, and the rest of your tracks and MIDI will quantize to the grid that now matches the tempo of the audio. It sure is a lot easier and more accurate than splitting and chopping-up your audio.
Another great video, Kenny!! Thanks so much for all your videos. I would have been totally lost without them! Most of us learn best by seeing, hearing, and then doing along with an instructor. THAT is how you do your videos and it's like being in class! You also anticipate questions that a student might ask. In other words, most of the questions we might have you already cover in your videos. Many kudos to you my friend!!!
Hm, this is a good start, but it will only work if you play without any tempo fluctuations. Basically it works great for stuff recorded to a metronome, but no other real-world takes; it takes more work to actually sync a full song with tempo variations to a click. My recommendation to map out a tempo (including the natural fluctuations) is to use the SWS extensions with the action that moves the nearest measure line to the mouse cursor, and use that to map it out. Once every 1 beat is mapped out, if necessary, adjust the other beats with stretch markers.

Do you have a tutorial or there is one on youtube about this? Can you explanada in a more detailed way?
Great Kenny! Can you make a video where the guitar part is not regular and you adjust it to the metronome by clicking a button to the beat? I believe stretch markers are involved in this. Thanks!
Great 👍🏼!! Could it also be possible to let Reaper add tempo automations to a live performance? i.o.w.: when the live performance is rushing or dragging, but you want the click to follow it? I know, strange question (“why would one want to do this?”) but still... can this be done?
Thanks for this tutorial. i’m very new to Reaper. Ihave 4 tracks, vocals, guitar, bass and drums. The tracks were not recorded to a metronome and all 4 tracks float in their own space a bit. Is there a way to align all 4 tracks to one another and to a tempo?
Hey kenny! Many thanks for your explanation! I need a bit of your help. As I see on this video the timeline shows just the beats as in ableton. Can you explain how did you do this? If I select measure.beats it shows also seconds with decimals and so on. Thank you again ❤
I want to practice a song hearing a metronome along with it. The problem is that the song changes tempo, I want to be able to select sections of the Click Source and overwrite those specific areas.
Can you make a video on how to add articulation on hypersonic 2 and sample tank 3 with Reaticulate? I have already installed It on Reaper but I have to make custom bank for the plugins I want and It's difficult, please! can you help?? I've asked this long time ago If you can remember.. Now, I think It's time, you should make a video about It.
thanks a bunch for this tutorial Kenny; love your videos very much. now , suppose the performance has some time signature changes and tempo changes within it; should this be done part by part? or is there a way of doing it in a single pass like in the examples you gave?
I do covers for fun of 50s/60s/70s tunes. I bring them into a track to serve as a reference. But often, the tempo "drifts" but I like to record and program to one consistent tempo/ It makes it easier for me if everything is locked to a consistent tempo on the grid. Has Kenny done a video on that yet? Is that tempo mapping and audio stretch?
There's a feature which I miss so much from Sonar, it's to align grid according to the audio, used to live recording where I could include midi components following all the tempo changes... Is there anything like that in Reaper? (I know how to align audio to the grid with stretch markers, but I'd like the inverse)
@REAPER Mania please make a video on this very important subject... live recordings have much more soul to them as you know so a way to take tempo fluctuations into acount eould be great...
I have always called this a conductor track. Though I can appreciate the value of automatic, I prefer to do this manually as shown. As the conductor track is going to take on great importance going forward, it has to be capital R right. Auto can’t be trusted. In my opinion.
@@artysanmobile I agree with you, but the way I archived that seems wrong to me... First I play the entire song, inserting marks on each compass (using keyboard shortcut 'M' helped a lot here). Then I select each interval, using double click at the rule, then I call the command "Insert - Measure from time selection (new time signature)" (detect tempo didn't work for me). That works but it simply seems wrong to me...
@@nunes1907 I have done this only in Pro Tools, and it’s a similar process. It finally became quick and intuitive, and that’s saying something for Pro Tools, always the last to understand their users’ needs. A good amount of my work is not straight backbeat groove, like big band full of obstacles to automatic detection, but once a method is found it’s quick work.
Thats all well and good if its only a short audio clip, but what about a whole song where it was played without a click track and the song gets slightly slower from the middle on and you want to do a remix and keep the original vocals?
this was way to cool I should be able to do this real easy import a mp3 from irealpro. I've been trying to transcribe that stuff in guitar pro 8 which has an audio track for transcribing learning jazz standards thank you Kenny
Eh buddy working in easy drummer 3 some crazy metal time changes if my bpm isn’t the same all the way through actually all over the road lol how can I sync it?
hanks your share!! if i have a 125bpm Music Loop, i want to Octave+2 and get after real bpm speed Let projet bpm follow the loop, How to do in REAPER ?
Is it possible to synchronise Reaper with a changing tempo audio file? Let's say, some parts of my song are slowing down sometimes (ritenuto) and I want to have my click synced. Is it possible?
How come when I line up an mp3 track to a click track it falls off tempo later on? I know the track was properly recorded to a click with the same bpm throughout the entire song. Can anybody help or link me to a video that can help me resolve?
Quantize less, record more. Music that adheres to a clock is, surprise…. Boring. The nuanced give and take of time a skilled player brings is pure magic. Let’s all master that and create a conductor track from it instead. 🤗

Yep. Everyone send Reaper the $60 before we find out what a world without them is like.

Great Comment 🎉🎉
Amazing, thank you very much!
With every video I learn something useful - this is great! Thank you :-)

It's amazing, every time I have a question about reaper I end up here, and it's always helpful, thank you!
Hey Kenny, thank you so much for your in depth tutorials for reaper. You are the best! Have a nice day sir ✌🏻😎👍🏻
Kenny - your videos have been an inspiration in learning to use Reaper. Thank you.
Exactly what I needed with a current client! Thank you so much, Kenny.
Oh man, this is EXACTLY what I wanted to learn, and you nailed it. New subscriber!
Just what I was looking for. Thanks Professor Kenny!
I was looking for this all this while .....Thank you man
Thanks for what you do man! very helpful!
Your tutorials are brilliant - Thank you
Thank you for this Big K! This is useful, as always.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again, Kenny!!!✌️
This work damn near perfectly for me. Life saver.
I´ve been looking for this. I usualy start a song with rythmh guitar. Thank you!!
Wow! That guitar work at 6:28 is so damn beautiful!
Thanks Kenny for your tutorialsssssssssssssss. You're the best !
This is an awesome tip! Thanks for the video!
perfect and invaluable Thanks Kenny
Watched a few and just had to subscribe. Thanks Kenny.
Great video Kenny. Thanks so much
Kenny, we seriously need more videos of that goat you had playing guitar before :)
BEAUTIFUL :) thanks for this tutorial.
Thanks kenny, i learnt another good thing too today
very useful and time saving thanks. you are my reaper teacher :)
Fantastic tutorial, thank you. But what if the audio doesn't start with the beat but starts off tempo?
Good stuff Kenny! Very useful indeed.
Unbelievable! Thank you!

Wonderful Steve
Fantastic tutorial, the best its for free! Thank you!
Great one, thanks.
Wow man, if I have a question, your videos, always come with a solution
Wow, thanks for sharing a cool trick.
Thanks Kenny!
And this why Reaper is one of the best daws available and this why you are the Reaper guru 🙏🙏🏿🎩🦄🎖🎖
This is great as I have been uncertain what was the best way to go about finding the tempo from a non-grid-aligned file. 🙏
Great Kenny! Can you make a video where the guitar part is not regular and you adjust it to the metronome by clicking a button to the beat? I believe stretch markers are involved in this. Thanks!
Thanks kenny
worth watching this... u da man :D
Guitar sound is great
Kenny you couldn't be more on time, im starting to believe that you´re into my head reading what I need..get out! ;)
Thanks!
Great Stuff

Saint Kenny Gioia of Reaper! thanks!!
Somebody should put you on their payroll for this shit lmao. Thank you for this!!
Loved the 300bpm version :D
Thank's
V cool Kenny ty
Thanks
Thanks for this tutorial.

Grazie tantissimo. Veramente utile
THank you

what drum plugin are you using there. very nice sounding.
Are you using a separate reverb for the kick or us that the room mic emulation?
Actually it was all these tutorials that helped me make up my mind I should use reaper
do you have some videos which shows the same technique on acappellas ?
Can you make a video on how to add articulation on hypersonic 2 and sample tank 3 with Reaticulate?

By pure chance the next video YT recommended me today is Kenny's video on Tempo Mapping an entire song.
Maybe that's what you need...?
great video! I dont have set project tempo from time selection (new time signature) actived. how Can I fix it? greeting from spain.
Hi Kenny !!! a question... Does this action corrupt the audio ?
I do covers for fun of 50s/60s/70s tunes. I bring them into a track to serve as a reference. But often, the tempo "drifts" but I like to record and program to one consistent tempo/ It makes it easier for me if everything is locked to a consistent tempo on the grid. Has Kenny done a video on that yet? Is that tempo mapping and audio stretch?
Tempo Mapping, Time Stretching, Transient Guides In Reaper". He's got it all covered all on here.
There's a feature which I miss so much from Sonar, it's to align grid according to the audio, used to live recording where I could include midi components following all the tempo changes...
Is there anything like that in Reaper? (I know how to align audio to the grid with stretch markers, but I'd like the inverse)
@REAPER Mania please make a video on this very important subject... live recordings have much more soul to them as you know so a way to take tempo fluctuations into acount eould be great...
Upvotes for this! I like to use a DAW to learn covers and play along and it's nice to not have to fight/ leverage the grid

Not getting rid of the decimals messes with my brain. Do I need to get this checked?

Eh buddy working in easy drummer 3 some crazy metal time changes if my bpm isn’t the same all the way through actually all over the road lol how can I sync it?
hanks your share!!
if i have a 125bpm Music Loop,
i want to Octave+2 and get after real bpm speed
Let projet bpm follow the loop,
How to do in REAPER ?
By changing the "BPM", does the "PITCH" remain the same? Is it like "elastic audio" or does it only work for small "BPM" changes ??
Pitch is the same unless you want it to change as well.
Is it possible to synchronise Reaper with a changing tempo audio file? Let's say, some parts of my song are slowing down sometimes (ritenuto) and I want to have my click synced. Is it possible?
Did you find the answer?
How come when I line up an mp3 track to a click track it falls off tempo later on? I know the track was properly recorded to a click with the same bpm throughout the entire song. Can anybody help or link me to a video that can help me resolve?
Oh, I thought you were gonna' talk about stretch markers
99 steps..why just dont tap tempo or quick stretch to bar
good explanation but way too slow man i just wanna know how to match sample loops in order to produce a remix
Ableton live 11 hahaha 😁😁😁
My samples on reaper otherwise the other daws look like they stay out of tempo even with the right bpm
Quantize less, record more. Music that adheres to a clock is, surprise…. Boring. The nuanced give and take of time a skilled player brings is pure magic. Let’s all master that and create a conductor track from it instead. 🤗
Do you talk with your ups and downs and pauses all in the wrong place all the time or just in these videos?
do you know how many times he's been asked that?
Just in the videos. :)
@Luke I'm not a hater! Sorry Reaper Mania, they're great videos and you do a hell of a lot of them. I'm just new and didn't know. Cheers.
Thanks!
