Looking for downloadable Reaper videos

I'm loading up my laptop with stuff to entertain myself while lounging beneath the mango trees in the Philippines for three weeks. I've decided to load up Reaper and give it another go. Maybe I'll click with it this time, in an ultra-relaxed environment.

So what I'm looking for today are tutorials (video or otherwise) that I can download onto my laptop for offline viewing. I do have software for capturing YouTube videos, but I'd rather not hassle with that if there's someplace I can simply queue then up for downloading.

Have you checked out the Reaper forum? I think there are several links to videos including reapertutorials.com or some such on the main forum page. HTH

Ever tried Easy Youtube Video Downloader? I use it often mainly for the Dave Pensado "Inside The Lair" videos. It downloads in several formats including 1080p video mp4 I think. It is a Firefox extension that shows as a button on the Youtube page. I'm assuming you were thinking of a screen capture in real time.

Enjoy the mangos and if you really learn something from the vids maybe you can recommend the best ones?

I played with Reaper back in the 3.0 days and I upgraded to 4.0.

My plan is sometime this year to record a whole song in Reaper using audio and MIDI to get a feel for the product. As well I plan to do a different song in Studio One Pro 2.5. Same idea.

I am NOT planning on leaving SONAR as my main DAW, I just thought I should learn the other DAWs that I legitimately own.

I mess with Reaper a bit from time to time....just enought to goof myself up....but it is a powerful DAW.

I have the Groove 3 Videos which I got them on sale and a few of Kenny's video's from the Reaper Forum.....I know that he has a number of them for free but then your stuck with your vidoe capture dituation. Same with You Tube.....

So in essence, it has all been mentioned before....sorry I could not be any more help but they would be my first choice as well....

Now if I can just get lucky and score an exit-row seat on the flight to Tokyo I'll be set.

Is there a vid/tut for that?

Hey Bit, 

Hope you’re enjoying the best of the islands and being chased by young naked native girls. 
 
Opinion here, no intent to cause tribal fanboy or flame wars amongst other respected forum members. Just an observation, trying to be objective and the like…

Reaper and Sonar in one area… 
 
Handling of vst’s and vsti’s, Sonar suks.   

The vst/vsti file management in Sonar is convoluted defective, spread over the hard drive without recourse to any sane library system adjustable by the end point user. 

This in spite of years of valid requests by users to get with the program. Meaning here, the ability to chain together more than one synth on a channel and option to organize vst/vsti plugs in a more user friendly way.  
 
Off topic, another reason to pass on the Presonus DAW option. Presonus is strangled as badly as Sonar in this aspect... 
 
Cakewalk company posts give a complex workaround for the defect, but like a patch on an infection not addressing the root cause of the infection. 
 
Wanted to do all my keyboards in Sonar but can’t. 
 
Reaper, click on one synth, series it with another synth, series it with another, etc etc on the same track. Parallel or series route with another click. Adjust relative volumes with another. Done. Beautiful landscapes without having to resort to multiple cloned tracks.
 
Doing exclusive audio input, except for the defective file management jungle, Sonar and Reaper feel about equal, just more to go through with Sonar before you find the plugin you were looking for. 
 
Have to keep Reaper on board for keyboards where Sonar doesn’t have the capability. Sonar is kept here for midi sheet music and advanced midi editing where Reaper as a lot of catch up to do. I can't seem to work without both programs.

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the diatribe...

Got to remind myself not to drink and post and not to post with Firefox.

Been with Sonar since the 90's and I guess frustrated about the vst browser and how vsti's are handled. Hasn't changed that much.

Layering is probably my way to get enhanced sound to compensate for talent so is an important part of my workflow. Sonar makes this quite difficult where it could be made easy and lightning fast.

Maybe a good way to illustrate this is with a video. I'll try to do a YouTube video of the way Reaper handles vst/vsti instruments and a look at the excellent customizable filing system. Will make more sense than me rambling and a good way to compare the two approaches.

Hope all are well.

I always light up a bowl before responding to bapu's posts. It doesn't seem to matter whether my replies are coherent or not.

That's ridiculous. The answer is 96 kiloHertz. Do the frickin' math.

Coherence is clearly not a prerequisite for audio engineering. Dave Pensado and Alan Parsons are living proof of that.

Bit, no need to capture from youtube.  Use this free firefox extension to download directly to your computer:
