    FX list has disappeared !!

    The L-H panel in my FX list has disappeared. When I press Options, then Show in Left Pane List, it shows the full left pane list which I normally see when I open FX, has been selected. However, they are not shown when I open FX. How do I fix this. Many thanks, Brian

    Save File

    I feel dumb asking this. When I wish to finish working on a project I hit "Save Project". This works absolutely fine. However, when I hit "Close Project" I get a screen asking for file name etc. I simply "X" out of this and it goes away. However, it is annoying. Is there a simple setting...

    Trouble locating FX in Reaper

    I have downloaded Sitala and MODO bass. However, despite my best efforts, they are not included in my FX lists. I have attached two screenshots, one shows where the downloads are stored and the second shows the path in Reaper. Can anyone help. Many thanks, Brian

    Transpose vocal by 1 octave in Reaper

    I wish to sing a harmony part to a song and I want to transpose it by 1 octave (up or down). Can this be done and, if so, how. (All the youtube videos deal only with MIDI or simple vocal pitch correction). I am hoping to transpose a track. Many thanks, Brian

    Cannot overwrite saved file (newbie)

    When I RE-save a file ( i.e. one I have modified), I am shown that I already have a file of that name. When I save the file, it does not overwrite the existing file, it adds another file. See image attached.: I now have three "Drum Test 2" files. I want the latest file to overwrite the...

    Cannot save Reaper file to required drive !!

    I have Reaper 7 on my C drive. I do not like it, so I made a D partition and downloaded a V6 to the D drive. I am now trying to set up Reaper V6 to work on my D drive. However, try as I may, Reaper will not let me save to the D drive. Every time I try to open a new project, I am required to...

    Windows 11 and Windows 10

    I prefer to use a 6 version of Reaper (rather than a 7) . I have an Acer Swift 1 laptop with W11. I want to be able to boot W10 from a USB stick when I wish to run Reaper. Does anyone know if this can be done (or, better still, has anyone done this with an Acer Swift 1 computer). Many thanks...

    Metering in Reaper

    I have set up my master meter as follows. Have I used the correct settings for both the TCP meter and the floating mixer meter. It is not clear to a newbie which settings e.g. Loudness choices and Meter (e.g. rms etc.) to use. I am happy with the display offset part. Many thanks, Brian

    Copy/Paste MIDI

    I feel very embarrassed writing this. I have Reaper V7. When I try to copy a MIDI section e.g. 1 bar from bar 1 to repeat this in bar 3, the DAW creates a new track and copies the item to the new track. I cannot get it to copy to the track where I want it. This has never been a problem...

    Reaper track control panel

    Since version 7 from Reaper, I cannot access the track control panel (Options/themes/theme adjustor...) The "theme adjustor" shows as "theme adjustor/color control". When I click this, I get "default 6.0". This has been the case since about the middle of last year. Does anyone know when...

    Reaper clicks

    I have a Reaper recording (my first large one with 60 tracks). I have about 4 clicks on the recording. However, when I increase the buffer size (even up to 2048) the clicks do not go away. Also, the “Flash Transport yellow…” in ON, but there are no yellow flashes when the clicks occur. How can I...

    How to install Pocketblakus in Reaper

    I (still a newbie) have downloaded Pocketblakus to my PC. (Pocketblakus seems to be an excellent cello vst). I simply transferred the file from Download in the PC to Program Files/Common Files/VST3/ This path is used by me in Reaper for other FX downloads. However, when I try to load this...

    FX for guitars in Reaper

    I can see that Reaper has LOTS of built-in FX. However, I would like to find out how to get good guitar FX. It seems rather confusing trying out numerous FX when the FX name does not necessarily indicate what the FX is. This is not a complaint - I am simply trying to find a range of guitar FX...

    Screensets in Reaper

    I have tried to set up a couple of screensets in Reaper. The process seems very simple. However, when I press the designated "Load" key e.g. F4 etc. to load a chosen screen, nothing happens. I used the Track tab when setting up the screensets. Even in the screensets window, when I...
