[RWP] Midi Overdubbing

Thu Jul 11 14:58:36 EDT 2013

Yes, for now, the MPC fills up my needs. But Reaper enhanced this. Maybe I
can really work together with both. But I cannot try this everyday. So I
need a couple of time to find this out. ;-)

Well, I wish you luck with what ever you end up using.

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. ;-)

This is one reason

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

But that's just me.

Subject: [RWP] Midi Overdubbing

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
