help request HELLO INTERNET... this is harder than I thought.

1 Upvotes

(linux fedora)So in my previous post I mentioned a little personal protect I was working on called the "universal DAW project". basically a community made theme and key bind configuration from every major DAW, shoehorn it into reaper and hope for the best.

well it turns out that's harder then I thought. for some reason the configurations keep braking and messing with each other... which is less then ideal

now a lot of people were saying "ehhh make reaper what ever you want it to be" and I want it to be ableton, logic, protools, studio one and reaper all at once. is it practical for my own workflow, no. but I'm not looking for that, I'm looking for a way to emulate other daw workflows and looks on one open source daw. will it be one to one, HELL NO, but will it be close, yea.

what would be the best way to go about doing this without braking everything? also what would be the cleanest way to go about it, please let me know.

all I ask is you don't hate what I'm trying to do and instead see what I'm doing as something that could be really useful in more professional environments.

that's all, once again please keep the comments civil and informative, good day!

help request Runtime Error (Yeah, that obe)

0 Upvotes

Hey folks,

in serious need of help because a paid project is stalling due to the following:

Reaper has increased issues withe Error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program D:\Reaper\reaper.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Thing is; Its a VST (the SINE Player from Orchestral Tools) which ran perfectly so far and only recently i started getting this error increasingly - and now i literally cannot open the project(s).

I could of course bypass upon loading, but that doesnt solve the problem.

I also installed the Microsoft Visual Libs but it obviously didnt help.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

help request yabridge keeps giving me the 'failed to start wine plugin host' error (i'm on linux mint)

1 Upvotes

the error pop-up tells me to restart reaper from the terminal to see the actual error, but i don't see any when i do.

i've tried removing and reinstalling wine by uninstalling it manually with mintinstall, but that didn't work either.

if there's any help to be provided here, i'd love to hear it!

help request Reaper Bleeding?

2 Upvotes

I’m having a weird input bleed issue with my Focusrite 18i20.

We’re recording guitar and bass simultaneously, both DI’d straight into separate interface inputs and set as separate mono channels in Reaper. Guitar is on one input, bass on another.

The problem is that while live monitoring the guitar track, I can also clearly hear the bass coming through that guitar track, almost like the bass input is bleeding into the guitar input.

This setup worked perfectly for well over a year and this has only started happening recently. Nothing obvious has changed.

Has anyone experienced this or know what could cause one input to bleed into another?

EDIT:

Thought id add 2 more bits of detail -

1 - our guitars run through seperate multi fx pedal boards, DI'd straight into the back of the board.

2 - I don't believe its a monitoring issue as the audio from the bass has actually been tracking and recorded onto the guitar audio track.

Really weird, especially as we have run this exact setup for a while with no such issues. Any help us hugely appreciated :)

resolved How do you change defaults?

4 Upvotes

I like having snap disabled and selection to be in minutes:seconds rather than ruler time unit, but every time I start a new session, it keeps putting those things back to their original state.

How do I configure it so that snap is disabled and selection be in minutes:seconds by default?

help request Question about Scripting (Sidechain Setup with ReaComp)

3 Upvotes

I was wondering if you can modify the drag and drop to add a new send function in a way, that when you hold a certain button at the same time, it will automatically set up the send 1/2 -> 3/4 and also put a ReaComp with Detector: Auxiliary Source at the end of the FX chain. I know that this kind of works with a script by selecting both tracks and hitting a hotkey, but in that case I also couldnt get the automatic Detector: Aux Source to work. Thanks!
