The way to do this in Reaper is fairly simple: This allows to treat this track as if it was a master track, on which you can apply a limiter or compressor if necessary. In order to avoid touching the master track, the solution is to create a pseudo master track. In addition, if the master track has been modified, either in volume or in effects, any sound files added to the project will automatically be affected by it. This is done by leaving this track untouched. You need to be able to rely on its VU meter and know that it is an accurate reading of the final output. The way I see it, a master track is like a master volume knob in the studio: you’re not supposed to touch it once your studio is calibrated. This means not adjusting its volume fader, and not adding any effects or plug-ins to it. I strongly recommend never touching the master track. Want to use REAPER for sound design? In this 2nd part of her special guide, Anne-Sophie Mongeau shares her tips, tricks and insights that get you the optimal workflow (and, if you missed it, part 1 – covering how to get started with REAPER – is here):įollowing the first article of this two-part series where I listed a few tips and habits to observe when getting started with Reaper, I would now like to explore this DAW’s workflow as well as some of its unique features to take advantage of when using it as a Sound Design tool. But it would be great to be able to work within one project also wit tempo changes and gradual tempo curves without it becoming messy. I found that working with subprojects is a sure solution to this problem ofcourse. So the measures and beats between to markers is malleable but both tempo markers before and after stay fixed? Is there no way to lock a a tempo marker so that if you have one before and many after the one you are moving around is not affected. But all the tempo markers coming after it and their measures and midi Items are affected and displaced. When Moving time markers around, the measure that come before the ones you want to stretch or turn are intact and not changed. lets say a film where you have already set a tempo and have been working with cues far out in the film. if working on different areas on the timeline Or maybe I just havent undestood it or found out how to do it? So its all fine that you can move tempo markers around and make gradual tempo changes with them. I am dabbling into tenpo markers to find a solution to this if there is any yet?
