  • This 51 year old musician is able to follow your tutorial without being overwhelmed. Thank you this is a BIG help
  • This isn't just good for newbies... It's a great refresher course for us guys that have been using for over a decade. Makes you appreciate the app you've been using all along and remind you of why you've switched!
  • @teashea1
    I have been using Reaper for over 12 years. This is a nice course to pick up some ideas. The production values are very good and the organization is efficient and well done. Good job.
  • @mattstalker4084
    This is so helpful. You helped me so much today to transcribe a part that was too fast by introducing me to the playback rate adjustment keeping pitch the same 😅. Amazing resource for free. Thank you so much.
  • @tomershitrit8638
    I record guitar songs and covers at home, and this is the most complete and helpful tutorial I found on youtube. Fantastic content. Thanks for you for sharing this knowledge!
  • @jumpyds
    This would be the best tutorial for years to come! The explanations are very precise, don't go too deep into details, cover every aspect that every user needs to know, and they are arranged in the order that makes the most sense.
  • @HEYMISSX
    Really appreciate that you create this course and share it for free!! I tried to learn how to use it myself, using the official manual and asking someone who is a sound engineer, for many months. Nothing really helped until I saw this video. Thanks a lot!!!
  • @diiegopc
    Interesting default shortcuts: ctrl + shift + left/right: Move play cursor to next or previous grid division ?: Show Actions list
  • @barrystevens3550
    I trained editors for years on Avid, your approach is one of the best I have seen. Good content and pacing. , up to 1.19 so far . . .
  • @Alex-wt4cw
    Compliments for the quality of this tutorials, as a pro recording engineer/musician working on Digital Performer on film and advertising, I am trying to make Reaper my choice for personal composing. This invaluable and vastly informative work Dave Bode has put up here making it available to the community for free is really commended. Thank you sir.
  • @user-rj2gz2th8c
    thanks so much for the invaluable information. I'm rewatching this again and again for many times.
  • @user-jw8kw6ix9z
    Hi - just wanted to say that this is the most helpful YouTube tutorial on any subject that I've ever found - exactly what I needed at this point! I'd just discovered Reaper and found that (unlike Pro-Tools) I could actually do something useful with it even without any instructions so I dispensed with the evaluation period and paid up front. But to really get started, I needed something very different from the Reaper user manual. Your lessons were as good as it gets and better than I'd expected to find. Thank you.
  • @1viewwonder303
    Fantastic Tutorial! Thanks for taking the time to speak clear and slow, yet efficient. Bravo sir!
  • @DryleechMusic
    I'm Learning so much from this Video. I will definitely be watching it a few times to hone my skills in Reaper.
  • @user-by9wk7yj9e
    the most I love Reaper is structure of easy to understand all the value of mixxing mastered in one screen. You can also see the peak mastered (not accurate number but still also good ). For arranger, midi control most important and reaper so easy to adjust, zoom in zoom out stuff by mouse I use to use the cubase but for begginner It's hard to remember all stuff also Fl studio, mostly I cant see any things peak like reaper must export to see in another plugin like EXPOSE, also FL studio need adjust the pedals when start with
  • @kgsaran1970
    Best Comprehensive tutorial. Thank You. So long I was using FL Studio but for recording and editing Reaper looks to be the best software available.
  • @scdaymon931
    This is just amazing!!! Very professional and useful. Thank you so much for this course, and thank you so much, kind Sir, for making it free. 🤘
  • @Downstream33
