Render Problem with Fades

Hi!

I recently switched to Reaper for mastering, so far everything is great apart from one thing I can't seem to work out.

My workflow is making a mastering layout with songs each having their own region, so that when I render, I can render 'project regions' to render all songs separately.

Everything is fine except with fades. The final renders have all plug ins and processing, but it hasn't included any of the fades that I have done on the start and ends of songs. I've search on here and found lots of info on apply FX to track, but just wondering if I am missing something? Surely the fades would normally render when bounced, rather than just for monitoring when mastering?

Other info I found is glueing the fades to the songs, and creating a new version, but that seems a little clunky if mastering say 20 songs, creating a new file for each one.

I'm sure I'm missing something as it's a really simple thing, everything else is great.

Any advice would be amazing, thanks!

Q: Reastream Alternative for Mac ?

Is there any free alternative like reastream-standalone.dll on Mac
something that will send audio/midi from one DAW to another

at least audio as midi can be sent other ways.
Until one day when there will be ReaPlugs for Mac.

Inserting Points in Envelopes with custom actions

I'm in the process of building a custom action that will insert two points at the edges of the time selection, automatically extend the time selection a small amount, and then insert two more points. However, when I run the action SWS/BR: Insert 2 envelope points at time selection, it automatically puts those two selected points at the maximum envelope value. I have gotten around it, slightly, by putting the action "reset selected points to zero" afterwards. This works fine, but only if the envelope is at 0db. If it is any above or below, it will be reset to zero, which is obviously counter intuitive to trying to speed up an automation workflow. Any reason why this might be occurring would be great!

What is the "Buggy plugin compatibility mode"?

In Reaper, plugins can be run in different states, including sandboxing etc. But there's one mode that is unknown to me, and its not mentioned in the 6.05c manual, and very few mentionings in the forum too.

What is the "Buggy plugin compatibility mode"? and what makes it unique compared to the other modes?

thx

Automatically finding similar wave fragments

Is there any way to automatically find the same or similar wave fragment.

Let's say someone is saying 'Hello' in the dialog... is there any way to find very similar wave fragment so I can without going manually find all 'hello's in the dialog (track)?

are there any plugins out there that can do that?at least I totally remember seeing it as a script in Reaper... but can't seem to find correct name\terminology...need your advice friends

sincerely yours,
inari

Mono send in ReaInsert? Always a stereo return with a hard pan.

I have just started using ReaInsert, so it may be obvious - however all the Output sends are stereo options, whereas all the return channels are mono options. I want to send a mono vocal to a mono processor and have the return not cause any change in the stereo imaging. So far, everything comes out panned a bit right or left, and my channel goes from being a mono one to a stereo one.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Some JS plugin to mono

Hi,

Is some JS plugin which brings specific frequencies from stereo image to mono?

Bug? V6 theme transport font on OSX

Hi WT, or anyone who can help:

There is a weird error displaying the correct font on transport. It loads the font to display the playback status, but not the time clock. Is this a reaper bug or a theme bug? On windows it displays correctly.

Thanks.

TCP ZOOM en gardant en vue les premiere pistes

Il y a un truc qui me fatigue à la longue: c'est le zoom du tcp qui se fait en se centrant sur la derniere piste faisant du coup disparaitre les premieres pistes. J'aimerai définitivement changer ce comportement: soit par un zoom sans disparition des premieres piste soit en centrant sur la ou les pistes sélectionné. Une idée ?

NINJAM BPI Display changed - annoying numbers

How do I get rid of the new default annoying huge blinking numbers BPI numbers back to the bar at the bottom of the display?

To optionally turn off selection of locked items

Unintuitively REAPER allows selecting locked items which then prevents other items selected with marquee from being moved or at least creates an obstacle to that.

Just as it unintuitively allows moving locked items with regions.

NINJAM BPI counter-Using large numbers now-how to go back?

Sorry I called this a metronome before

At the bottom of the NINJAM window there a BPI counter. it is now defaulting to viewing huge numbers vs the bar view that has been there forever. How do I chnage it back? The huge moving blinking numbers are very distracting

MASTER TRACK / MASTER FOLDER?

What is the difference please (if any) between the Master Track and creating a Master Folder. Both seem optional....

Please Help - Spotting items to video problem

Hi,
I am pulling hair out of my head trying to solve this issue...

Lets say:
Track 1 is a video (no problem)
Track 2 contains a single short sound effect item (no problem)

I want to click on the sound effect item on track 2, drag it, and align the left edge of the item with a specific frame in the video. The problem is, the video follows where I clicked the mouse in the item and not the left edge of the item. How in the world do I change this behavior? I want to be able to click anywhere in an item and drag it. I (almost) always want the left edge of the item to be the sync point.

Please help!!

PS.
I have found a work around by clicking in an empty area on track 2 (for example) and dragging the selection markers to the perfect video frame, then I drag the clip to the edge of the selection marker, but what a pain...

Thanks..

Never Again - Grunge Song

Hi all,

Hadn't written anything for while, but the pause came to an end today. Wrote this song quite quickly - sometimes breaks are good to clear the mind. Feedback most welcome:

NEVER AGAIN
(Words by Jonathan Linton, Music by Jonathan Linton)

Use your stealth, find a victim
Cheat into their inner sanctum
For you to rise, others must fall
First through the slime, you must crawl

But I won’t be fooled
No, never again
Won’t be ridiculed
Never again

I put my trust in you
And you stabbed me in the back
No, no, never again
No! Never again

One day your time will come
Not every victim’s so dumb
Those who you’ve fooled, will turn against you
A slime creature hidden from view

But I won’t be fooled
No, never again
Won’t be ridiculed
Never again

I put my trust in you
And you stabbed me in the back
No, no, never again
No! Never again

SOLO

No!
I put my trust in you
And you stabbed me in the back
No, no, never again
No! Never again

Any possible soultion inserting multiple instruments?

Hey Guys Whats up I am still quite the beginner on using reaper but the more I use it I'm staring to really enjoy it. I am using it though with the ilogic v2.5 theme. Which ironically for me made it a little bit more simpler to understand. I'll give you all my specs so you know what I'm working with here.

Computer specs
i7-3960X @ 3.30GHz
32 gb ram
1tb samsung pro 850 SSD

Windows 10 Enterprise 1803

Reaper v6.03/x64 rev 881187
With
SWS/S&M Extension
sws-v2.10.0.1-x64-install
Using the ilogic v2.5 Custom Theme


So Here I know my issue is with this theme, it has a nice custom right click menu that is not standard.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hphun17ih2...track.png?dl=0

I had this issue with the insert instrument track, but I figured out a way to modify that custom action. That now it works the way I want it too.

When I insert multiple instruments first I get this window. To add more tracks

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wcircnuviq...k%202.png?dl=0

Then after I lets say add 3 tracks, I get my insert virtual instrument windows and the windows to name the tracks.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/k6605yjfpl...k%203.png?dl=0

But here is my issue, the instrument is inserted in one new track. and then I have to manual add instrument on the other tracks. But at least they got named.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/6uctf72z8z...k%204.png?dl=0

Is there a way to perhaps change how multiple tracks are added to make that insert multiple virtual instruments. Then I can remove that rename feature as well. As the instrument usually names itself on the track.
This is what the custom Action currently looks like.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3xjfybjsjc...ction.PNG?dl=0

Any ideas I can try I will gladly spin up a VM and get to testing.
Thanks Guys

"Transpose Midi" script/action?

Hi,

Is there an action or a script that can summon "Transpose Midi"(see attached photo) without opening the editor?

Levels don't track?

This is a weird one, that I haven't run across before... I'm working with what should be a very simple track; a basic reversed reverb. The track was rendered cleanly, peaking at -16dB per the Pro-R metering. After isolating the clip, I flipped it and then hit "normalize" to bring it into the basket for the mix, with no processing in the FX chain. The normalizing process applied 15.3dB of gain, which is fine, but now the channel meter (fader at "0") is reading a peak of +8.8dB. I tossed a stereo limiter into the FX bucket (Waves L2) and set both threshold and out ceiling at -3dB, which should yield a meter peak of -3 as well. Much to my surprise, it peaks at +5.8. WTF? Drop the limiter to -9.0, should yield -.2, assuming some sort of offset, right? And it does...

So what gives? Clean track, no clipping, normalized, yeilds an 8.8dB overshoot. The metering tracks what the limiter is doing in terms of gain reduction, but the channel metering isn't even close to the VST metering. The L2 insists that I'm inputting -1.1 on the left channel, 0.0 on the right, which makes sense with a normalized track. The limiter shows output as -3.0dB on both sides, which makes sense with the -3dB ceiling, and also indicates 3dB of GR, which also makes sense. Reaper's channel meter, however, insists that I'm hitting +5.8dB. So where is the extra 8.8dB of gain magically coming from? Again, fader at zero, no gain boost from any FX.

Color me confused. FWIW, I'm running V6.04/x64, with a stock White Tie Imperial theme, but that shouldn't matter.

F2 hotkey does not TOGGLE media properties window

F2 hot key "Item properties: Toggle show media item/take properties" does not TOGGLE any longer since version 5.92 (maybe earlier, but v5.70 does OK).
It opens the window, but as take name has focus, cannot be closed again by F2, only by ESC :(

Its Scope can be re-set manually to (Global + text fileds) in Actions, but in Default state (after installation) it is broken!!!
