Re: The Reaper Q&A Thread
haha it would make sense since i have been doing the exact opposite of that to no avail. i always thought the larger buffers meant the program had more "space" to do calculations, i'm probably waaaay off.

Re: The Reaper Q&A Thread
I think it`s actually larger buffers that reduce the artifacts.
Small buffers are for cards that can handle the extra throughput

Re: The Reaper Q&A Thread
Hey, does anyone know if there's a way to copy audio files without also copying the automation points? Every time I copy and paste something on an track with automation it turns into a mess of points that take so long to get rid of.

Re: The Reaper Q&A Thread

Re: The Reaper Q&A Thread
What's the best method to add swing to my hats if I'm working with audio instead of midi?
Re: The Reaper Q&A Thread
Nudge them around when you're laying them out.
Sorry if that's not helpful haha that's what I do though, and is the only way I know of.

Re: The Reaper Q&A Thread
You can adjust the quantize values and apply a shuffle by using a fraction.
It will shift the selected midi instances.

Re: The Reaper Q&A Thread
Fuck the grid! Click the little magnet in the menu bar to turn snapping off and slide those hats around yourself. Just throw every second hit off until they swing. Volume automation helps too, you can edit the volume right on the sample by moving your cursor to the top of the clip and dragging that little red bar down. Once again, start off with just changing every second hit, then experiment from there.

Re: The Reaper Q&A Thread
You can just select individual beats and set the quantize value to a different amount, it will shift the selected beats to the shuffled grid.





Re: The Reaper Q&A Thread
Woah that is cool and easy, and no need to draw in little dots. Cheers guys thanks
Re: The Reaper Q&A Thread
What I do is copy patches.. then paste patches into fresh units within another file. Maybe there is a faster way? But this doesn't seem too bad for me. I ctrl+c and ctrl+v and ctrl+x a lot and hold ctrl click so that alone speeds up my worflow ten fold.hudson wrote:Hey, does anyone know if there's a way to copy audio files without also copying the automation points?

What I did was right click on the highlighted part(s) and go to Item Processing -> Quantize Item positions to grid (I actually hotkey'd this to Alt+Q)skyhigh wrote:Electric_Head wrote:You can just select individual beats and set the quantize value to a different amount, it will shift the selected beats to the shuffled grid.
