Hey y'all, Sean here. I, if anybody is good with Reaper on Windows, I would like some help. I'm part of the Reaper access group on WhatsApp. I'm also part of the Dropbox as well. But, I, man, my throat is really bad. Excuse me, let me take a drink really quick. Reaper, for me, is very comprehensive. It's hard for me to wrap my head around a lot of the content that Reaper allows. But my, I know you can use it for audio production and, of course, you can use it for MIDI production. My concern is MIDI. I have Native Instruments Complete Control. A61 keyboard, and I have the Native Instruments Complete Select and Complete Ultimate as well. And, I definitely love a lot of the instruments that it contains. I've even got some free stuff as well that I've been scouring the internet for, you know, free, realistic instruments, and I've found things, and sometimes I've had to go through YouTube to actually find some of these instruments because if you search for it in any way, you really can't, you really don't, you really don't find the right answers. So, I just search for free. Um, NKS Libraries on YouTube, and, man, some pretty good ones. They've got, uh, some nice guitars and horns and things like that. But, anyway, back to Reaper. I would love to be able to create a multi-track, uh, multi-track project. I'm really, really into cinematic music. Film. Score music. Game score music. Things like that. And, I'm wanting to be able to create, um, such music like that. I'm, uh, a partial developer of a game that's being worked on. Um, and I want to add my own music to it instead of the placeholders that I have right now. But, I, I guess I'm really nervous and a bit scared to, to do a lot with Reaper because I'm afraid I might mess things up. I mean, I was trying to work with, uh, a MIDI file that Andre Louis gave to us in the Complete Control Dropbox. Um, called Daydreams. And, uh, I wanted to add more to it because that's what he wanted to do. Is add more to that particular file. And, uh, I, I couldn't do it. I tried. And, I couldn't figure out how to arm the second track and not the first track because the first one had the MIDI file on it. every time i would hit record it would record at the beginning of the track and push the midi file farther down the track which is not what i wanted i wanted to add more to that composition that he had done and i just i can't wrap my head around some of these things and i'm trying to find some help uh somebody that would possibly be able to sit down with me and you know work with me one-on-one uh to understand a lot of these things you know midi note editing you know i mess up something you know maybe maybe everything's good except a few notes that i'm not really good at here and there that i need to move around change from one note to another i can't really understand how to do that um and it's hard for me to understand where to allow other instruments to come in and then drop off if i want them to go away for a while and then come back you know it should be simple but i just can't wrap my head around it so if anybody knows uh reaper well enough and is willing to kind of talk with me about it hey send me a private message you can even reply on here on this thread if you like um oh yeah yeah yeah anyway take care and i'll talk to you guys later
