Just type it in to the grid dropdown. It should conform.

Thanks a lot! It works now!

Here’s my approach, in steps.

 

1. Place an overdrive marker at measure 8, over the guitar. The marker should cover the entire measure.

2. Copy it, and paste another copy at measure 18, 28, and so on. One marker every ten measures.

3. Play through the guitar chart on reaper, and see if you like the overdrive. Move things around a bit, until you are happy. At some points, you might make the overdrive larger, or smaller. So, you might decide the overdrive works better at measure 35.5, and should run until the beginning of measure 37.

4. Now click on the first marker, hit v to highlight all of those markers. Hit control c to copy all of those markers. Go to each other instrument, and paste those markers. The result, you have the same (unison) overdrive markers in every instrument.

5. Go through each instrument, and delete markers that appear over parts with no notes. For most instruments, there are notes throughout the song, but, with keys, say, you will often have sections where the other instruments are playing while the keys are idle.

6. You want approximately half of the overdrive sections in unison, the same on every instrument being played. Decide which sections you want to stay as unison. Most of the time, you will simply alternate, so measure 8 is unison, measure 18 not, and so on. If there is no keys at measure 28, I might keep that as a unison phrase for three instruments only, or I might keep measure 18 in unison, and move markers for measure 28.

7. On the measures that should not be unison, go to each instrument, and move the marker over. I will, typically, move drums two measures to the left, keys one to the left, bass one to the right. Again, use the song as a guide, it may be better to place the overdrive differently in some sections.

8. Now you are done. Overdrive markers for each instrument, nearly half are unison.

Thx so much for the help! I’m gonna release the custom just shortly! Again… Thanks for the advice!

ah yes. that makes a lot of sense and i’ve experienced the exact same issues and it did have to do with the device settings. here is an image of my settings in hopes that will help you compare.

 

Yeah it helped a lot, thanks! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

Not sure that has anything to do with your original post, but WASAPI setting works absolutely fine. If you’re using an external sound source, you should consider ASIO, but it comes with its share of conflicts with some onboard soundcards. I have an audio interface and use WASAPI to avoid conflicts. This has not impacted my authoring at all.

The thing is that whenever I author on Reaper the sound sounds a little bit off sync, so I’m not sure if it’s the program or the sound settings, especially when authoring Vocals

Good vocals cannot be authored quickly. Good charts take time.

 

Bad Religion put it best. Quality or quantity, a choice you have to make. In this case, that quantity is the number of hours to produce a good chart.

ah ok

 

Question: which settings do you put on your Reapers Audio? I use WASAPI

I know nothing yet about authoring, but I am curious to get some hints as to what song is being worked on…

It’s about a popular that’s less recognized from the other most popular song (ps. this song has nothing to do with blocks)

Most likely invalid notes, see these threads:

thanks, it now works!

A quicker way, highlight the lyrics, press Shift + A and it will align the lyric marker to the phrase.

Dude thank you so much, I’ve been struggling with that problem for almost like a month, really thank you so much! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

There’s a tempo map marker placed after the [end] event. It looks like it was an accident (it occurs >100 measures after the song ends), so go ahead and remove it. This should fix the problem

It worked! Thank you so much! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” /> ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” /> ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />
