  • I got started with some YT tuts on getting it setup and have been running it for the past day. I’m starting by cloning my main Pro Tools template into Reaper and so far… holy shit.

    I can honestly say that I’ve slept on this DAW and understand why it has the following and support it does. I can make it my DAW. I have the chance to work on a new project with it today so let’s see how that goes.









  • I suggest you first think about what your sources are? What microphones? Does it match the voice? How’s the proximity? How does the room sound? Can you hear the room? Not saying this is your case and it sounds harsher than what it means, but the old saying of “shit in, shit out” is always a good place to start. Check your sources.

    It also sounds like compression might be needed on the vocal to level it. That way, whether you duck the BG music to the vocal, or have just vocals alone, things are even. EQ also plays a part in where stuff fits in the whole spectrum of sound.

    Keep in mind that if the dynamics and equalization is off on each individual track, it’s trickier to balance stuff out bc it’s kinda untamed.
