The REAPER forum is one of the friendliest and most helpful i've ever encountered.

Ok, so you were evidently able to load a file from your Tascam into Reaper (by creating a track in the Reaper project, then inserting Media)?
That's a start. WHat are you trying to do with those tracks? Specific questions will get specific answers.

Yep, very steep learning curve!
I've been using it for nearly a decade and no doubt use about .001% of the functions, and it still took me awhile to get there. But stick with it, and use the forums and especially the free help videos; once you cut thru the clutter and can ignore the stuff you don't need, it's mighty cool. |

As you mentioned, these recording software programs require foreknowledge to understand even the manual: once you understand how to do something in the program, the manual all of a sudden makes a lot of sense.
So don't be afraid to ask questions here. I went to bed each night reading the manual my first year using Cubase. And, as was already said, you'll end up probably using just a fraction of what Reaper can do. The problem is knowing what fraction you need to know. |

I have mainly used Reaper as my DAW. I have been able to turn out some decent projects with it...However I always have this feeling that I'm doing things the hard way or I'm missing some shortcuts.
The program has way way more functionality than I'll probably ever use and I have a deep respect for those that put it together. I have learned quite a bit reading online and watching videos. What would be neat is a true tutorial video that demonstrates the "basics" and shortcut ways of doing basic things. Something like splitting, merging/gluing, inserting, using EQ and other plugins, etc...and generally getting around Reaper in the most efficient way. I can get it to do the basics...but I know I there are much faster and efficient ways to do what I'm doing in there. As a simple example I watched a vid the other day that showed you can just double-click on the blank space where a track goes and it automatically creates a track - rather than clicking on a menu and "inserting a track". I have watched Fran work in Reaper on his videos and he is right clicking/splitting/moving/etc...very quickly and efficiently. I'll keep plugging away and figuring things out here and there. Maybe there is a "shortcut" tutorial out there - if there is could somebody point us to it? |

Learning the shortcuts in Reaper takes time - all the ALT+_ and CTRL+shortcuts can save a lot of time:
Split a track at the pointer: ALT+S Insert new track (beneath the selected one): Alt+T I use those ones all the time.

Maybe if you posted a list of words that elude you, we could fill in some blanks.

Hmm, curious. Perhaps the developers came from a film sound background.
I don't use Reaper, but in film sound parlance, a stem is just a track specified for something. A sound effects stem, a dialog stem, a music stem, etc. Regards, Ty Ford |
