[Rwp] Reverb, gain, and EQ plus rendering

[Marion & Martin]

Dear All,

 

                As a new Reaper user, I am working my way through the
learning curve with the help of a few of my new RWP friends. David Shortland
from the Land Down Under has been a great help! Thanks a bunch to my new
Aussie friend. Now that I have figured out what the hell I am doing a little
more, I have a scratch test recording with five tracks: One vocal with one
harmony and three guitar tracks. (I duplicated the guitar tracks because
they were not loud enough and I couldn't figure out how to increase the
gain. This is my first question: how do I change the gain of each track so I
can mix them? 

 

                I also want to add some effects to the vocals and EQ my
guitar. Where do I find those? Also, I have the metronome working but cannot
figure out how to change the tempo. I know these are pretty basic questions
but I am a pretty basic dude! (smile) I know it can't be all that difficult
once I get over the learning curve. Learning curves frustrate me! (grin) 

 

                Finally, I tried to render what I have to mp3 and I am
getting a message that I need to download LAME. There is a download link,
but it doesn't seem to work. I have gone to the LAME download site, have the
zip file in my download folder, but when I unzip them I get a message that
36 files have already been download and a query asking me if I want to skip
or replace them. I have done both, but the rest of the files don't seem to
load. Pretty lame! Does anyone have a direct link to the LAME download
files?

 

                While I am asking questions, how do we access the meters to
make sure we are recording at good levels? I checked out the Reaper video
tutorials but couldn't follow the Dude's "go here!" and "Click there"
instructions. Are there any tutorials for nonvisual access? Or do I just
keep pestering y'all? 

 

Peace!
