Nice. Quick tip: damp your strings with a cloth or scrunchy at the nut but also I damp then with a cloth right by the bridge. This cuts down on glitches and still sustains long enough in most cases.
There is an awesome plugin called Chordz that you guys might find useful - same concept but you can customize the chords, and a bunch of other extra things.
This is an incredible and simple feature that in other daws take too many steps and kills the mood of composing. I can't believe that is so simple now. Thank you!
Wow, I have learned so freakin much from you! This little technique is another super useful tool in my bag of tricks that is curtesey of Mr. Kenny Gioia! Thank you!
Interesting approach and quite advanced for a 'free' DAW. Hint: turn the input volume of your audio interface to a minimum to avoid that every slight touch on a string results into a note. I found that it works better if you just record the audio and not as midi because long guitar notes will show up as short notes in the midi file, while it sounds fine if you record just the audio. The "window size" setting in ReaTune is also interesting to tamper with, it can influence the sensitivity or latency (I think).
Before a few days ago i knew nothing but the basics now...wow, after watching a few Kenny video's. I've just fallen in love with reaper all over again.
Mind blowing! All this time I've been recording my GR-55 guitar synth for pads. This method may make it easier when I just need to record quick pads. Thanks Kenny.
There's a better way to turn off the sound of the guitar... Just alt-click on the routing button to turn off the master/parent send. That way it takes input and it sends the MIDI to other tracks, but it doesn't send audio to the master channel.
Up to date, you have created great videos. Now, it is becoming wonderful: the masterpiece of an instrument you manage to build here, simply with a guitar and stock plugins is incredible!
I always struggle with strings and bass tracking on vsti's, we can create whole strings arrangements now, one at a time, being so bad at keyboards, nice idea thanks!
I don't quite understand the step with moving the FX to the input. I can record the MIDI output without doing that step. I just leave it on the normal FX insert. Where is the difference? :)
Im trying to use a cello plug in with this and although it works... it sounds absolutely terrible. thinking maybe i should get a midi keyboard? any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated
Hello. I would like to know if you can do guitar strumming in midi files to use in my styles that a create in cubase, to put in my korg pa4x. Can you help me? Thanks
Hi Kenny just a quick question here, is 16 GB of ram enough if i want to use a few vst and about 30 tracks? Mainly video game music close to cinematic score?
Can anyone help me with why he put the first 3 plugins on the input vs all 4, or leaving them all where they were? Was it so he could change the instrument later? And once its recorded, you could just remove the firat 3 plugins, right? In just trying to understand why do what he did. Thanks!
Kenny have you ever tried Midi Guitar from Jam Origin? I've been looking for a way to do what it does with Reaper plugins or free plugins, this is pretty close.
How about exporting midi files with vst synth sounds you've assigned? Every time i export my midi it doesn't have a synth sounds, is that possible? I only use audio interface , ezkeys and ezdrummer
Well, shoot! I'm disappointed. I thought there was a way to play a song on the guitar and have it come out in midi. Turns out, it's only playing one note at a time on guitar, right?
Question, why are you speaking in these broken robotic phrases. People can comprehend just fine if you speak normal. And if that is normal for you... my apologies.
I don't regret at all chosing Reaper above all other DAWs. Thank for the tutorial.
Nobody ever does
We got the goat system, and nobody even knows about it. More for us.
Nice. Quick tip: damp your strings with a cloth or scrunchy at the nut but also I damp then with a cloth right by the bridge. This cuts down on glitches and still sustains long enough in most cases.
@Sir Argle Can it really be that simple I'll definitely try it. Im using midi guitar 2 by the way.
I feel like I owe Kenny so much now, most of what I've learned is from him. Thanks Kenny.
You constantly blow my mind with these videos. Thanks Kenny!
There is an awesome plugin called Chordz that you guys might find useful - same concept but you can customize the chords, and a bunch of other extra things.
I had this on my download list forever and completely forgot about it. Thank you.
Thanks for the tip, but Chordz is Windows only. Ripchord and Tonespace are somewhat similar, but work on both Mac and WIndows.
Scott Rankin good to know, thanks.
You are an awesome teacher, Kenny. I hope you hear this often enough man. You deserve it, to say the least.
This is an incredible and simple feature that in other daws take too many steps and kills the mood of composing. I can't believe that is so simple now. Thank you!

So nice taking lessons from Forest Whitaker...

Reaper is incredible. I am a newbie and it impresses me so far. Thanks for the tuts fella.
I just ordered a midi keyboard and I only now discover that I could've used my guitar all along lol.

Excellent video. Super cool. Thanks for sharing!
You make the best videos. I have been watching them for years and I don’t know what I’d do without them. Continued thanks to you!
Before a few days ago i knew nothing but the basics now...wow, after watching a few Kenny video's. I've just fallen in love with reaper all over again.
Sure learnt something new here, great content! Thanks 👍😎
Kenny, you are truly a master with Reaper. You are appreciated very much! I always look forward to your videos and love what I learn!
Mind blowing! All this time I've been recording my GR-55 guitar synth for pads. This method may make it easier when I just need to record quick pads. Thanks Kenny.
Awesome

I wouldn't say it's "better" because it does require using two channels. But it's another way.
Thank Kenny, yes I did learn something ;-)
Up to date, you have created great videos. Now, it is becoming wonderful: the masterpiece of an instrument you manage to build here, simply with a guitar and stock plugins is incredible!
Thanks Kenny Gioia you are the best and reaper too!
I guess we can use it for bass tracking without midi keyboards. Love it!
I always struggle with strings and bass tracking on vsti's, we can create whole strings arrangements now, one at a time, being so bad at keyboards, nice idea thanks!
wow i didnt know that.. so i can play drum with my guitar too..thank you
I never thought that it would work this way! Thank you, Kenny!
Thank you Kenny! Amazing stuff
your tutorials are premium , i am on reaper since v3.thanks
Buddy my head exploded!!! You're an absolute genius!!! Wow!!!! Thanks a lot!!!
Finally someone that explains it clearly and right to the point. Thanks for the tips!!
Thank you for this!!!! Guitar is my main instrument, it helped my production process a lot!!! Keep up the good work!
Amazing!
This is a game changer for me
Mindblowing! You're the best Kenny!
This is an extremely helpful video for someone like me who only plays guitar. Thank you.
Could not get Reatune to appear with the latest version of Reaper, so I installed version 6 and it was there. Success
So cool!
It's an amazing tool. Thanks Kenny
Mr. Toot is happy, he no longer needs that fancy MIDI toot
That's one classy song 😁
WOW!
Very cool. Very clever.
This is awesome
That was incredible! I didn’t know that that was possible! Thanks!
thanks kenny 💖
Thanks Kenny God bless you,you are a genius 🙏
Kenny eres el mejor ... Muchas gracias mi hermano
This is mind-blowing!
amazing ,amazing and amazing.
Fantastic video
I don't quite understand the step with moving the FX to the input. I can record the MIDI output without doing that step. I just leave it on the normal FX insert. Where is the difference? :)
thank you!
Freakin’ awesome!
Might be a good idea to put ReaGate before ReaTune and adjust to set the sensitivity of the guitar/ukelele.
So if I understood correctly, when playing the chords, you're physically only playing a single note, correct?
Thats right!
How do you stop the accidental tracking from lifting from one string from the other? It's too sensitive
Thank you Bro, awesome lesson
Thanks Kenny
well..... MINDBLOWING!!!
Following step by step no midi chord key tho only ReaControlMIDI . Help ?
Bypassing audio with EQ pins, genius! 1:40
This is useful for video fades too.
thanks!
Thank you, again.
wow... i learned somthing new =) thanks
Nice - I'm a lousy keyboard player, so using my guitar as a MIDI controller is a great option!
Im trying to use a cello plug in with this and although it works... it sounds absolutely terrible. thinking maybe i should get a midi keyboard? any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated
Awesome!
You don't need any instrument necessarily - it works also with a mic and your voice...
wow!!! thank you very much!!!
Unfortunately false triggering is extremely high in Reatune
Oh my god. This is sick
I tried bass sim plugin midi it didn't work
@4:16 Forever young !!!
Good call. LOL
Great tutorial thanks, but what if my key changes during the song
Wow.
Omg 😱 dis is awesome.
thank you............very much.............for...........information
I need this but I don't have that midi chord plugin.
Top!
Hello. I would like to know if you can do guitar strumming in midi files to use in my styles that a create in cubase, to put in my korg pa4x. Can you help me? Thanks
Hi Kenny just a quick question here, is 16 GB of ram enough if i want to use a few vst and about 30 tracks? Mainly video game music close to cinematic score?
It is yes! (as long as it is not old RAM, meaning older than 6 years or so)
Can anyone help me with why he put the first 3 plugins on the input vs all 4, or leaving them all where they were? Was it so he could change the instrument later? And once its recorded, you could just remove the firat 3 plugins, right? In just trying to understand why do what he did. Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for the video. Is it possible to convert the chords that you've recorded this way into a notation? Eg. transfer it to Guitar Pro? Thnx.
Kenny have you ever tried Midi Guitar from Jam Origin? I've been looking for a way to do what it does with Reaper plugins or free plugins, this is pretty close.
How about exporting midi files with vst synth sounds you've assigned? Every time i export my midi it doesn't have a synth sounds, is that possible? I only use audio interface , ezkeys and ezdrummer
Must by the best DAW ever.
how recoring two guitars one clean and the other whit distorsión at same time
Value!
Does it work with bass guitar playing with vst??
Are there any buffer errors or ms delays?? I know it would drive me nuts if it was like.... .3 ms off lol
...pronto reaper desbancará a todo el resto de los Daws.... esto es genial...
How cool is that! Could be useful if you know how to use it in a musical way.
cant we just keep the JS : MIDI chord in key in the normal fx chain and get the same result ?????
f******* awesome :))))
Your tutorials are great dude, thank you, Lord Jesus Christ is the creator of earth and ecstasy consciousness ,
is there any way to record chords you are playing on your guiter (polyphonic audio to midi?)
Zach Christensen Yeah I think it's called midi guitar 2 by jam origin.
@@jamesmurphy8676 yea ive just been looking into this and im downloading the free trial now, fingers crossed
Zach Christensen any luck?
nice hack!
Well, shoot! I'm disappointed. I thought there was a way to play a song on the guitar and have it come out in midi. Turns out, it's only playing one note at a time on guitar, right?
Yes. I think you'd need a special guitar for that.
Question, why are you speaking in these broken robotic phrases. People can comprehend just fine if you speak normal. And if that is normal for you... my apologies.
Nah this doesn't work. The latency is horrible and every little noise you make with the guitar, get detected as a note. Not useful at all.
Life changing tip, but uh.
Please... please stop talking like that.
