  Hi Chris,

   

  Sonar would be overdozed for that what I will do with Music. ;-) For professionals, it might be a good solution, so if you are, great! But me, no chance. ;-)

   

   

  Viele Grüße

  This is one reason

  I prefer sonar for midi and use reaper for audio editing.

   

  But that's just me.

    Hi folks,

    as I searched the web to find anything out that helps me easier in
    overdubbing and looping Midi, it seems that the Reaper users in general take
    not really focus about that topic or in Midi in general. One user is
    confused with this as well with the fact, that nobody answered in his
    created thread. I tried to, but found no chance to do so, maybe because of
    the mobile view of the bulletin entry.

    However, I can't really understand that this feature as well as easy looping
    of beats seem not to be interesting for most users. So I ask myself, how do
    you create drum patterns or tracks? With addictive Drums, where each
    instrument is highly dynamic and I play the hi-hat and find it a little too
    strong, I can easy remove and re-enter the note while I'm hearing the loop.
    Not only the MPC Ren, also my microSTATION is able to do this in a nearly
    similar way of the MPC or any other sequencer: So it might not be so strange
    to work like this. Hold a key to delete a note, go back, play the note
    again, Two buttons on my MPC except transport field.

    As I guess that Reaper couldn't give me this workflow, I'll answer how do
    you create Midi track like drum grooves bass lines or something else and
    what you are doing if you miss a key. In the theory I know to remove or edit
    this mistake it takes minutes over minutes...

    Maybe Reaper developers are here and can explain how nobody seems to find
    that this is helpful, just as a solution in my mind which I will explain:
    1. R = Record armed track and play.
    2. P = Play the track and find out the mistake.
    3. then, maybe Shift+R = Record in overdubbing mode, hold Del and the key
    which should be deleted, backward and replay the notes.
    4. Ready and enjoy.

    This could be done in seconds. I am thinking about how I did this in Voyetra
    Sequencer. There was also no overdubbing mode but you could press E I think
    to reach the piano roll of a special track. Then you could walk through the
    timeline using arrow keys and hear instaid the rached note. If you are on
    this one you only had to press a special key, then you were able to move it
    around with arrows, up/down for pitch, left/right for position, +/- for
    length. Press enter and it was saved, press del to delete it. You also could
    insert one. This workflow I found also not really comfortable but more
    helpful. In Reaper, as I understood, this is possible, but not in such
    relative easy way.

    Maybe, does anyone knows another sequencer software which is very easy and
    can load VSTI's? I'll think that I have to divide my work to different
    machines. The general problem for me is, that many ideas were gone since to
    think and think how to realize them.

    At least, one of the famous workstations by Korg and Roland also have an
    intuitive memory for ideas and something else. Also the microSTATION is able
    to record in any situation if you simple press Record key. This is with
    Reaper possible, I think. Well, in general I like Reaper, but I would like
    it much more if some things were much easier to handle.


    Cheers
    Stephan
