<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [RWP] Midi Overdubbing</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi folks,<BR><BR>as I searched the web to find anything out
that helps me easier in<BR>overdubbing and looping Midi, it seems that the
Reaper users in general take<BR>not really focus about that topic or in Midi
in general. One user is<BR>confused with this as well with the fact, that
nobody answered in his<BR>created thread. I tried to, but found no chance to
do so, maybe because of<BR>the mobile view of the bulletin
entry.<BR><BR>However, I can't really understand that this feature as well as
easy looping<BR>of beats seem not to be interesting for most users. So I ask
myself, how do<BR>you create drum patterns or tracks? With addictive Drums,
where each<BR>instrument is highly dynamic and I play the hi-hat and find it a
little too<BR>strong, I can easy remove and re-enter the note while I'm
hearing the loop.<BR>Not only the MPC Ren, also my microSTATION is able to do
this in a nearly<BR>similar way of the MPC or any other sequencer: So it might
not be so strange<BR>to work like this. Hold a key to delete a note, go back,
play the note<BR>again, Two buttons on my MPC except transport
field.<BR><BR>As I guess that Reaper couldn't give me this workflow, I'll
answer how do<BR>you create Midi track like drum grooves bass lines or
something else and<BR>what you are doing if you miss a key. In the theory I
know to remove or edit<BR>this mistake it takes minutes over
minutes...<BR><BR>Maybe Reaper developers are here and can explain how nobody
seems to find<BR>that this is helpful, just as a solution in my mind which I
will explain:<BR>1. R = Record armed track and play.<BR>2. P = Play the track
and find out the mistake.<BR>3. then, maybe Shift+R = Record in overdubbing
mode, hold Del and the key<BR>which should be deleted, backward and replay the
notes.<BR>4. Ready and enjoy.<BR><BR>This could be done in seconds. I am
thinking about how I did this in Voyetra<BR>Sequencer. There was also no
overdubbing mode but you could press E I think<BR>to reach the piano roll of a
special track. Then you could walk through the<BR>timeline using arrow keys
and hear instaid the rached note. If you are on<BR>this one you only had to
press a special key, then you were able to move it<BR>around with arrows,
up/down for pitch, left/right for position, +/- for<BR>length. Press enter and
it was saved, press del to delete it. You also could<BR>insert one. This
workflow I found also not really comfortable but more<BR>helpful. In Reaper,
as I understood, this is possible, but not in such<BR>relative easy
way.<BR><BR>Maybe, does anyone knows another sequencer software which is very
easy and<BR>can load VSTI's? I'll think that I have to divide my work to
different<BR>machines. The general problem for me is, that many ideas were
gone since to<BR>think and think how to realize them.<BR><BR>At least, one of
the famous workstations by Korg and Roland also have an<BR>intuitive memory
for ideas and something else. Also the microSTATION is able<BR>to record in
any situation if you simple press Record key. This is with<BR>Reaper possible,
I think. Well, in general I like Reaper, but I would like<BR>it much more if
some things were much easier to
handle.<BR><BR><BR>Cheers<BR>Stephan<BR>--<BR>Stephan Merk, <A
