Have to say, since using lanes they are far superior to takes by a mile, takes look incredibly messy. I record four inputs of one guitar from my amp, DI, 2xMics. I put four tracks into a group and enable Razor edit and use lanes for takes. I then record and comp on the fly and its so easy to edit and comp on just one track as the grouping replicates all my work to the other tracks to perfection. I love it.
Newb to reaper here(and home recording) but I was wondering about this! so, hypothetically, I could record several takes with an instrument, and comp them to choose the best items from those lanes? I've got a lot more videos to get through. Still deliberating on what equipment to buy for the home studio. I still need much; a new interface (preferably 4chan), studio monitors, mics, and I'm leaning toward Reaper for DAW, for recording, and possibly FL studio for sequencing. I play in a funk group, but I really want to create some unique original stuff on the side.
@scottcook740 Yeah it's easy to comp in reaper and compared to takes its night and day. I've got a 1st gen focusrite, sounds great to my ears. For the guitar recording I use a Two Notes load box for my amp but since buying the Archetype plugins, I'm using the plugins more than my amp as they sound fricking awesome. The Soldano default setting rocks. For funk I'm not 100% convinced about their clean tones. I've got got the Tone King plugjn too but haven't had lots of time to play with it. Reaper will do your nut in learning it, but once you get the shortcuts configured and default settings changed, it's solid and does the job well. Good luck.
I am quite new to reaper - your videos has been an invaluable help in getting started. Thank you!!! I can''t seem to get reaper to record new takes to new lanes when recording in a loop. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.
Price is determined by how long it's been since you previously paid. If you paid prior to version 6, you have to pay $60 for the upgrade. If you paid for version 6.0 or newer, your upgrade is free! :)
When I do takes and split where I want, reaper gives me a V shape crossfade between the splits. I don t want this type of cross fade, I want an X crossfade, but if I right click on the several crossfades to change to a different type, the X crossfade is not there on the type list. How can I have an X crossfade when I split? Thank you, and great video as usual :)
Thanks for the encouragement! I recently switched from analog to mustang gtx, with the app interface and mods etc.. still getting used to that, but the combinations are endless. I’m leaning toward Scarlett focusrite for the interface, but not sure about how to choose model. I’d like to have the options for multiple instruments/vocals but don’t need the super high end one. And leaning towards the Yamaha hs6 studio monitors, though presonus 5.25” are a lot cheaper with good reviews. Haven’t gotten too far with mics yet, but I imagine needing 2 to start! It’s exciting but daunting looking at buying all this stuff. Thanks for the encouragement!

The lanes make comping sooooo much easier and faster. Love it.
Excellent feature! Thank you so much for your crystal clear explanation.
I love your "bite-sized" tutorials.
the stacking vocals on one track is sick feature!!
Incredible! This is fantastic! Great work Reaper. Excellent tutorial Kenny; as always, your work is outstanding.
The lanes are very cool. Thanks for this

Brilliant!
Thanks Kenny!
Can you split with s just like before? I actually thought the old take system was quite quick and required less mouse clicking
Kenny is the man! I wonder how much the upgrade is from 6. 🤔

I paid for version 6, so that's good for me! 😃@@n.oneimportant5
Just got the reaper 7..during to try out out the comp feature...
Mam 44 hours cant wait for this
Will you go over everything new in reaper 7?
I have some old projects with vocal takes, can I make these takes into lanes?
When I do takes and split where I want, reaper gives me a V shape crossfade between the splits. I don t want this type of cross fade, I want an X crossfade, but if I right click on the several crossfades to change to a different type, the X crossfade is not there on the type list. How can I have an X crossfade when I split? Thank you, and great video as usual :)
There's a preference to have it crossfade (X) instead of fade in/fade out (V) when splitting items.
@@REAPERMania Thanks a lot kenny, Cheers :)
where can I find that cool Reaper Theme? :))
I wonder if you can freeze tracks with Melodyne on them in the new version. It really sucks that you can't in 6 to save processor power.
You can render them and mute the originals though. That works! You could do that in version 6 as well.
Yes, I know but I prefer freezing them.🙂@@n.oneimportant5
@@n.oneimportant5Yes, but arrange view can become messy if you do this on several tracks. Maybe useful to put the Melodyne tracks in a subproject.
@you can hide the tracks after they've been rendered and muted. I do this uniformly. Keeps the projects nice and tidy.
@@n.oneimportant5 yes, I know, but I definitively prefer keeping tracks visible in case I had to edit structure or something else !
I am new to Reaper. When I record multiple track lanes, my volume knob for each clip disappears. Anyone have a solution?
Can we add a lane without recording and drag an item from another track into that lane?
Reaper should just hire you on staff.
Song is amazing! What is it title?

@@NovianLeVanMusic Thank you ☺!
@@maxx27i Wc! :)
after reenabling lanes the "comp tool" is no longer available.

What a sexy voice she has.
I tried your tools but they don't seem to be legit
