Large transport buttons

Hello!

I'm setting up Reaper at a spot where absolute newcomers without prior experience in DAW's should be able to record VO by themselves. So I basically want to make it as simple as possible, and pretty much just have one large REC button and one large PLAY button, and one for rec arm.

Any suggestions how to do this? I have found no way to make the transport bigger, or to make very large buttons.

Thanks in advance

faderport 8

Hi...a two part questionif if may:

1: anyone using the Presonus faderport 8 with Reaper?...anything to report?

2: i am just about up to speed with using Reaper for recording and basic editing and production. i have no knowledge of MIDI. what should a sperson like me.....a bit old and lets daughters programme the video if i can't find anything nice on the wireless!......what should i be checking and researching before i buy the presonus which as it & it's ad' appeared in my email box...seemed the answer to my prayers/dreams....i like fingers hovering over faders and mixing with a live feel sort of thing and trying to get a little distance between wanting to adjust something but having to stop the flow to do the adjustment....a small space of time but it does cut into the groove sometimes..

any advice + or - welcomed

regards

Reatreaving Group Names

Hi,

For a script I'm writing I need to get the goup names (track groups). I didn't see any API function that does this... Any Idea how this could be done? preferably with eel.

Thanks for any suggestions!

media explorer - change rate instead of pitch

Hey everyone! I have started using the media explorer and I am realizing that it is pretty powerful. For sound design purposes there is one thing that I am missing, could of course be that it is possible and I am just not understanding how to do it.

When previewing a sound you can of course change the pitch with the pitch knob. What that does is the sort of "time-stretch-pitch" that doesn't change the speed of the sound, just the pitch. I would very much like to be able to do "classic" pitching, that is changing speed and pitch, , in reaper terms, changing playback rate with "preserve pitch when changing rate" unchecked.

Buying a MIDI keyboard / controller

I want to get a keyboard to improve my keyboard skills on, and write some music.

As an ex-Maschine user, I was all set on just buying the latest NI keyboard but saw a lot of reviews saying it basically wasn't worth the extra money for the flashing lights, integration with Komplete etc (I don't own Komplete).

So I ended up down the clickhole of reviews and compared pretty much every 49-key controller on the market! And now I don't know what to get. Tempted to just go for a cheapo Oxygen49 as at least it's low commitment! I'm also still really pissed off with M-Audio for their crappy driver support - they failed to keep my Fastrack Ultra updated to work with OSX, total hassle. I was looking at Novation stuff, but I never did like their Automap stuff much and the Incontrol version doesn't sound much better.

Main things I'd like - pitch / mod separate, or at least without a 'spring' in them. Some good faders / pot controllers for synths, that do some kind of 'auto' connection to synths like Diva, so I don't have to muck around MIDI mapping every time I open a VST.

A 'good enough' keyboard (I'm no player, synth / semi-weighted will do fine - but it should at least respond accurately to velocity).

Any tips welcome! Only caveat is I'm in Japan right now so some stuff is not readily available it seems!

Any way to lock MIDI notes?

Can't seem to find how to do this...

When moving individual notes to a different pitch in the piano roll, is there a way to prevent accidental left or right movement - similar to 'locking items'?

Thanks guys!

Auto-mute Problems

To start off, I'm very sensitive to loud noises, so I know when something is blasting. Also, I keep my Surface Pro Audio relatively low (below 30 percent) which may be part of the problem.

In any case...I've got 40 tracks going and I want Omnisphere to bust through the mix, specifically in a low-end part. I'm using earbuds, and I know when something hurts, and this definitely is not hurting me...but when I crank the volume, it always shuts off.

I know nothing about engineering...very little about the science of audio...I DO know when something is too loud to be healthy, and that's definitely not the case here.

How do I keep Reaper from shutting me down (without making myself deaf)?

Grazi, multo beni! :D
