help request Recreating Nine Inch Nails’s guitar tone from “1,000,000”?

6 Upvotes

I want to recreate the harsh, almost-glitchy guitar filter from NIN's "1,000,000" within Reaper for a project I'm working on. Would anyone be able to offer some insight on how one could potentially recreate this kind of sound? Strong preference towards a free solution.

I've attached a waveform video of the guitar stem for reference.

help request Error when attempting to download Sitala?

4 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I've been getting some VSTs on my laptop (Ubuntu Linux) and I would really like to get Sitala as I have no drum samplers yet. Unfortunately I have repeatedly come across this error each and every time I attempt to install it. All seems to go well up to this point until after I press install and put my password in. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? And if possible are there any other drum sampler VSTs out there which are free and also available on Linux? Thank you.

help request set plugins offline without opening them

3 Upvotes

basically I've been having problems where a plugin is crashing reaper, I know what plugin it is, and it's really frustrating having to open the project in recovery mode and then having to reactivate all the other plugins manually. is there a better way to do this? can I just turn the single plugin offline without having to open it?

I want to be able to access the other effects in the chain but last time the project was saved had this one plugin open which means I can't open the fx chain and delete it.

help request Plugin horizontal scrolling is the reverse direction (despite setting actions for horizontal reversed scrolling)

3 Upvotes

Hi there. Reaper newbie here.

I have set scroll horizontal reversed, and everything scrolls nicely from left to right when on I move my mouse wheel.

The only problem is that when plugins open (eg Melodyne or EZ Drummer), it scrolls back from right to left.

I have tried disabling scroll horizontal reversed and changed the settings under mouse for scroll horizontal reversed, and even tried using my mouse software to invert the scrolling the direction. That works to a certain extent but then my mixer scrolls in the opposite direction.

I have Reapack and SWJ tools installed. If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated. All I want is for everything to scroll left when I move the horizontal wheel left, and right when I move it right.

Thanks so much for your time!

help request How to add panning controls to the more_me web interface in REAPER?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I’m using the more_me web interface template in REAPER to allow each musician to control their monitoring from their smartphone, controlling volumes and other basic mixing parameters. However, I’d like to add the ability to control the panning of each send directly from the web interface as well.

I’m not very familiar with code editing, so I’m hoping someone can guide me through how to make these changes. Has anyone modified this template or know how to do it? Is it necessary to modify the script? If so, could someone help me with a step-by-step guide?

Thanks in advance for any help!

help request Double sound when using ReaJS plugin in OBS?

2 Upvotes

When I use the superpitch option to alter the pitch of my mic, the sound seems to be doubled, and when I disable the filter or remove the pitch change it sounds normal again. Is there a way to avoid this?
I've included a screenshot of my settings on the plugin and a recording with a fair amount of change in pitch to highlight the effect better since it feels like it's not as easy to notice if the change is small.

help request Timing for comping takes

2 Upvotes

I am trying to comp some takes on windows. However, when I do, Reaper seems to be adding a tiny delay between takes so that there timing does not line up exactly. (The notes are "flamming"). It's making me crazy. Any ideas? Is Reaper adding something?

While I'm here, how do you delete just one take for one time selection but not another?

Thanks in advance

Hello all, just found and joined this sub to ask for some help... Recording newb, just for personal reference/writing... but had no problems getting started with Garageband on a Macbook Pro until it was stolen recently. I'm now trying to get back on the horse with a Windows 11 Asus laptop and Reaper (obviously). I just got set up, and can record a track, and I can hear the instruments through the headphones on the interface, yet I cant hear the playback of the Reaper tracks. What am I doing wrong? TIA

Added input as midi 1 usb , and the pads trigger sounds . The only problem is the sound comes out of My MacBook instead of going to the drum module . both MIDI in and out are connected on my module then connected to usb port of MacBook …. Anyone please help!! I tried and tried to search up solutions but can’t find it. I also forgot to mention I turned off local control of my module but nothing happens but cuts sound off from in module sounds. Any help will be appreciated!

Hi, I want to change the tempo mid song and use the metronome, but when I do so, my whole project changes the tempo. How can I keep the previous tempo and use the new one with a metronome?

help request Can’t Hear Guitar on Recording

1 Upvotes

Newbie here,

I’m using the Xvive U8 mic through the Scarlett Focusrite to record my guitar. I can see that reaper is picking up the audio. I also tested the metronome to ensure I can hear something come through Reaper. I can hear my guitar through my headphones as well.

I can see the sound of my guitar getting picked up when recording. But upon playback it’s silent. I have ensured my inputs are correct.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I deleted and reinstalled the app and now it seems to work. Thank you all for the input.

help request Out of nowhere extremely slow exporting

1 Upvotes

I'm currently exporting individual multi tracks and it's taking hours. I have 8 songs to export and it is getting painfully long. Usually it only take about 2-5 minutes so jumping from that to hours, I wonder if there's anything that can be done that I wouldn't know about?
