In this video I walkthrough using ReaPack’s “mpl Align takes” script for aligning 3 chorus vocals. I then apply manual track alignment using Reaper’s Take & Stretch markers.

I noticed this question while doing youtube research. Here is the best response I found: “I would definitely tune them first and render that. The reason being, the align plugin stretches and moves the audio around. I would be worried about any glitches due to the time stretching. Vocal tuning, in my view, should always be the first and purest signal to get the best results” ******************************************************************************************************* WIN - Suggested Keyboard Shortcuts “Ctrl+WIN” hold down to move stretch marker without “stretching” “Shift+W” ADD stretch marker (Reaper Default) “Shift+D” REMOVE stretch marker “Shift+A” REMOVE ALL stretch markers “Alt+,” ADD take marker (Alt + comma) “Alt+.” REMOVE take marker (Alt + period) “Alt+/” REMOVE ALL take markers in track MAC - Suggested Keyboard Shortcuts “Ctrl+CMD” hold down to move stretch marker without “stretching” “Shift+W” ADD stretch marker (Reaper Default) “Shift+D” REMOVE stretch marker “Shift+A” REMOVE ALL stretch markers “Opt+,” ADD take marker (Opt + comma) “Opt+.” REMOVE take marker (Opt + period) “Opt+/” REMOVE ALL take markers in track GEAR MIC Blue Yeti ACOUSTIC TREATMENT Bass Traps 2 Acoustic Blankets Mini Vocal Booth VIDEO PROCESSING Screen Capture (1080p 60fps) - OBS Video Editor (1080p 60fps) - filmoraPro Filesize Reduction - Handbrake ******************************************************************************************************* DISCLAIMER: References to company brands and/or logos are for educational purposes.

When replacing audio recorded by your camera with audio recorded by a 2nd microphone, you will often find that as you play your video, the audio and video become more and more out-of-sync. This is known as Audio Drift. In this video, I show you how to fix audio drift using iMovie on a MAC. ****************************************************************************************************** References to company brands and/or logos are for educational purposes.

This is a quick "How To" video for removing background noise with REAPER. While I was testing out my new LAV MIC I noticed that sometimes I would get a background "hissing noise" and sometimes I would not get a background "hissing noise". For my specific setup, I noticed the "hissing noise" when I connected directly to my iPhone. I did not get the "hissing noise" when I connected directly into my MacBook. In any case, background noise is easy enough to remove. ****************************************************************************************************** References to company brands and/or logos are for educational purposes.

This video shows how to connect a LAV MIC to MacBook Pro. Headsets Splitter Adapter: https://amzn.to/2TujRHr Connect LAV MIC TRRS receiver cable to a MacBook https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agTgiFeflCE&t=9s Notes on the Demo I recorded the demo with a Camera and just used the Camera audio for this video. So you'll notice the demo "playback" audio has poor quality. You'll also notice background "hissing" noise during the demo "playback" (in practice the background noise is not as loud as you'll hear it in this video). You can use any DAW "noise removal" effect to remove the "hissing noise". ****************************************************************************************************** References to company brands and/or logos are for educational purposes.
