I use a headless Mac Mini in my tour rig, and have it KVM'd to my console screen, but I basically do everything on the ipad and leave it running where I can see it during the show.Īnother trick, to sort of replicate venue-link is to create a list of pre-named markers for your songs. Its also very useful in the studio for any custom control options you might want. Another has some utlity macros, like save/close, or create new session from main template. Another has big jog wheels for zoom and jog/scrub plus skip to marker buttons - I use that for virtual soundchecks.

One has VU meters and arm buttons, transport controls and time - I use this when capturing a live show. Almost everything in Reaper is OSC mappable. My big tip, if you have an iPad, is to get TouchOSC and build yourself a custom template. The routing matrix takes a little getting used to (especially with a 192 channel interface!). I'd make a custom toolbar with buttons to arm all and un-arm all. Not much to it really, just record and play back. Not 100% certain about importing at a timestamped position but there are some relevant preferences at Preferences->Media.Ĥ. Preferences -> Keyboard/Multitouch -> click on 'Assign keyboard shortcuts.'Ģ. OK, the following notes are for Reaper 5.ġ.

But still, any advice is much appreciated. OK So I'm now enjoying Kenny's fantastic accent in his fabulous videos.

Ģ- How do I get Reaper to copy imported audio files & place them at thier time stamped position ?Ĥ- Do you have any top tips for using this to record a 2 hour show & using it for virtual sound checking ? Being a Pro Tools guy I have some questions which I would really appreciate help with to get me kick started ġ- Where do I edit key commands so I can match them to what I'm used to ?.
