#reaperdaw

I have #SoundToys effects loading on my Debian system through the magic of #wine. Mostly. I mean, the GUI doesn't really work, but it loads. (And fortunately, you can turn the skinned UI off entirely in #ReaperDAW and just use basic sliders, though that's not ideal for everything).

I have never really messed with Wine much so it's definitely odd to see Windows installers running on my KDE desktop.

After spending part of the last week trying to figure out a good workflow for noise reduction in problematic spoken word audio

(and documenting it here venya.soundslike.pro/blog/2025)

I am now playing on hard mode by trying to fix up audio from an outdoor wedding recorded on a not-close Zoom H4N under a local airport flight path

venya.soundslike.proVenya does sound - Meeting ACX (Audible) standards with Adobe Audition (and Reaper)

I’m learning to edit audio in Reaper. Used to edit in Reason, loved it, but their updates broke my workflow in 2019 and they shifted to subscription model.

ANYWAY, I’m on a Mac with a trackpad, and the horizontal scroll feels really janky. It’s also the wrong direction; and the setting that should reverse it, seems to, not?

Anybody have experience with making #reaperdaw feel better on Mac?

@ai6yr If I can find people who can finish this work: bitbucket.org/Klinkenstecker/c I will be able to bring the final machine in the house on to a FOSS OS but right now MS are not only obsoleting a perfectly good computer (for my music needs it's all I could ask for and more) but also a rather snazzy bit of hardware, which is entirely useable thanks to this plugin/addon.

Does anyone know of a free mouth noise remover plugin that works with Reaper on Linux?

I know there's one out there with a free trial, not sure about Linux etc.

I know so little about it all, mostly interested because there's a brilliant meditation teacher that smacks his lips and I have misophonia.

The other day at work we had a show in who brought along their own very capable sound technician. As I was getting him all set up to run their show in our venue, I showed him how to do some esoteric routing in our #digico console that solved a problem for him.

A little later, I noticed he was running #ReaperDAW for recording the show. He started about tediously adding a track, then clicking through a series of menus to assign the routing, rinse & repeat 40some times.

I said "oh, you're a Reaper fella too, eh?"

"Yeah, it's great and all... but I don't suppose you have any tricks to make this go faster?"

Boy did I.

I showed him how to add all his tracks at once.
How to arm them all at once.
How to use the Routing Matrix to VERY quickly assign channel routing.
How to quickly name all the tracks.

At the end of 2 minutes, he had his reaper file ready to rock and told me "they should double your salary".

While he's not wrong, it got me thinking about other industry pros who protect all their knowledge like gold charms hanging from their belt. I've encountered them, too.

I DID NOT spend decades suffering, bleeding, failing, learning, succeeding, writing my own rules, etc just to have ALL THAT CRAZY COOL SHIT die with me.

Information is for *everyone* and I personally will trip over myself with excitement for any opportunity to pass it along.
