[RWP] Getting forward

[Stephan Merk]

Hi all,

Now I tried something more and found how I can create multiple tracks. I did
this as follows:

1. Inserting Virtual Instrument with Ctrl+Ins, in my case Addictive Keys.
2. Metronome set to on and press R for Record and play the things I like.
3. Stop with space bar, I was asked to save the file which I were able to
rename or same as described. In my case Addictive Keys.
4. After Track 1 was created, now inserting Track 2 with Addictive Drums as
I did above.
5. Reaper asked me to create several tracks for each instrument. If I do
answer this with Yes, a track for each instrument will be created: Bass,
Snare, Tom etc.
6. Now my first stumble: If I press any key also drums and piano was played.
If I press record and Reaper warns me to record multiple tracks, the first
track was overwritten. So I had to do is uncheck the rec marker on Track 1
before recording the next tracks.
7. To do this, select arrow keys till you hear Track 1. Press Tab untel Rec
mode or so is spoken, state is on. Now press space to change the state to
Off and - very necessary - press Enter to save this state.
8. Then, after recording, you will only record the drum tracks.

Now, there are some issues I have:
1. Non-pattern based sequencers need to copy a drum style for some bars, but
how?
2. During recording, on my MPC I was helped by fast forwarding through the
track and clear out one special note or key. Is this possible in Reaper,
too?
3. Is there a feature to overdub, e. g. to record partial melodies?

But nice to see that it's working now! ^^


Viele Grüße
