Morgan le Fay/MerlinCan I use reaper for mixing? That’s mainly what I need to do right now. I need to record vocals over an instrumental track. Audacity can do it, but it can’t do a very good job of cleaning it up if yours truly goes off key or something.
Justin Macleod@evilcookies98 Yes you can absolutely. It's fully multi-track and very accessible.
@JustinMac84 I think I broke it when I was setting it up. I thought I gave it the right sound devices, but nothing plays when I hit play.
@evilcookies98 Reaper is a fully fledged daw so yes.
Chris Smart@evilcookies98 Yes. You can mix, you can do pretty much whatever you want in Reaper.
@VE3RWJ oh, so it will enable me to commit murder and get away with it? Lol.
@evilcookies98 well ok, not that I suppose. It's not a grim reaper. LOL
@VE3RWJ come on, you knew I was going to say something stupid
@evilcookies98 Don't fear the Reaper. LOL
@VE3RWJ I'm about to start playing
@evilcookies98 Yes you can!
@TSchulte awesome! Looks like I can drastically cut down on the amount of audio editing software. I generally have to keep installed on one computer as soon as I get a license for this thing. My current challenge right now is finding the record button and figuring out what I did to my sound devices so that nothing plays.
@evilcookies98 Get a hold of me tomorrow and I'lll help you out if you want! I'll come on team talk and help you set stuff up if you'd like!
@TSchulte perfect. Just let me know where you want me to pop up and I’m pretty sure I can manage the rest.
@evilcookies98 Solution: don’t go off key. :)
@kd0ess practical solution, except humans have their limits as to how much air they can hold in at one time, and when I start to run low on air, I go off key. Happens more often during the summer months, but I’m hoping I can get this released toward the end of the month. I’m aiming for July 22. One of the tracks on the Album will make it obvious as to why.
@evilcookies98 I think re-recording Summer Lovin will impose copyright infringement. :-)
@kd0ess there’s a special significance to the entire project. No copyright problems here though. i’d never dream of releasing any covers or the parodies I’ve written. Too many legal hoops to jump through, although some people might find sore nerves and bleeding ears, quite entertaining, especially those who hate incense and peppermints as much as I do. Lol
Toni Barth@evilcookies98 Of course, REAPER can basically do the entire process for you, from composing, arranging over mixing and mastering.
@ToniBarth that’s kind of awesome. Too bad I wouldn’t know how to play an instrument of my life depended on it. I used to be able to play a little, but I fell out of practice.
@evilcookies98 Same here, stopped playing recorder and piano before finishing high school back in the day. Luckily MIDI keyboard is far from real live keyboard, as in you've got as many tries at it as you want and can always fix mistakes post recording, and thanks to tools like Dubler, we can use our voice as instrument too. And if you don't want to play an instrument at all, you can always program your melodies instead.
@ToniBarth seriously? That’s kind of cool.
