[Rwp] Reverb, gain, and EQ plus rendering

[Marion & Martin]

Justin,

 

                This helps tremendously! The gain adjustment, especially is
so simple but I couldn't find the instruction to do this. I also found the
effects key and have a couple questions about it. I agree it might be good
to chat. I will send you a follow on Twitter but feel free to give me a
call. Where are you located? I am in Tampa. My number is 813-626-2789.

 

Peace!

Marion

Hi, 

I think these questions would best be answered, in detale by direct
conversation. I'd be happy to help so feel free to send me an email at
justinmacleod at hotmail.com or follow me on Twitter @justinmac_84 

For the time-being though, make sure you're using Osara. Osara has a
built-in way to access metering which is really good. The peakwatcher
dialogue can be access by pressing alt shift p. 

there are other relevant actions which can be found by pressing f4 and
typing osara into the edit box that will appear. Tab til you find a list of
available actions, most of which have keyboard shortcuts assigned. 

You can adjust the tempo by pressing alt enter, which will bring up your
project properties, that is to say settings that govern your whole
collection of tracks. Change the tempo from there, but be careful to make
sure that it is set to time rather than beats position length rate or
anything else. You will stretch or shrink your audio otherwise. 

Increase the gain of each track by pressing alt cursor up with that track
selected. Alt cursor down decreases gain. 

to add effects, select the track to which you want them applied and either
tab to search all the plug-ins you have available or type things in the edit
box such as eq, verb, delay etc. Once you have added the effect you want by
pressing enter on it, press escape to get out of that dialogue and press
shift p, which wil bring up the parameters you can adjust for that effect. 

Hope this helps, 

Justin

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!

Marion from Tampa, florida
