Hi John
Again, sorry if I'm telling you stuff you already know, but would loading the
file and tapping along with it using "h" on the metronome get you there? In my
limited experience, the tempo you tap is registered in the edit box of the
Project Settings dialogue.
Pasted below is an extract from the article "Making Your First Recording" in
Reaper Accessibility Wiki.
Cheers,
Dave
Turn the metronome on by pressing Control+Shift+M. As with many things in
Reaper, that's a toggle. Take a moment to fix the tempo of the song you're
going to record in your mind, then place your finger on the H key and tap out
the tempo. Now if you press Space to start playing, you'll hear the metronome
running at the speed that you just tapped. Play along with the click for a
while to make sure it’s at the right tempo. Pressing Space again will stop the
transport. Press W or Control+Home to make sure that you’re at the beginning of
the timeline, and guess what? You're ready to record!

Hi Dave and thanks for taking the time to give me the link and paste in the
info. Unfortunately, my case is that I don't know the BPM of the file I'm
importing so that's a different kettle of fish I think.
Any more thoughts?
John

Hi, John,
I'm new to Reaper myself, which means I've been poring over the Reaper
Accessibility Wiki for the last few days. The following extract comes
from the article Basic Editing Tasks in Reaper.
Hope it's helpful. I guess you can count your two bars with the
metronome. You may already be familiar with the wiki, anyway, but
here's the link to the main page, on which you'll find a link to the
article:

So a client asked you to record a solo, a voice, whatever, over a track
that has already been produced, such as a backing track, or the rest of
the band, for example. Before we record anything, We need to set the
tempo first.
ensure you have a blank project open and press alt enter to open the
project properties dialog the first thing you will find are the various
tabs. Makes sure that the left most one is selected: project settings
tab tab about six times and set the bpm. You can also set the time signature
here.
press enter to save your changes.
and now for the importing and recording process itself:
ensure you are at the start of the project or at a place you feel at
ease when recording. Most people like to leave a two bar empty space as
a precaution.
double tap the insert key or use the insert menu, and then choose media file.
locate your mp3, wav, whatever contains the backing track, and press
enter on it. You will notice that a track has been created with the
file name as an item inside that track. When importing multiple items
at once, reaper will prompt you for what you wish to do. Options are
self explanatory.
Once the file or files have been imported, it is time to create new
tracks and record, just as described previously.

tracks which, I'm happy to share with anyone who might want them.
Afternoon All,
Sorry for the lateness in coming back to you guys. OK, Clive,
I've had a listen again to your demo track and like John, I don't
think there'd be too much of an issue doing it. As for
electronic drums, I wish I could be very clever and say I could
do one but, smiles, the truth of the matter is that they are all
drum patterns that you can freely and easily obtain from youtube.
I'm not sure if they are actually electronic but, I agree, they
are very sonically pleasing to the ear and don't sound like
Kraftwork on steroids! Nothing beats a real kit anyway. I have
somewhere in the region of 20 or 30 drum
starter if we have a delay in starting Clives.
As an alternative, I've popped in a track myself into the drop
box under guide tracks. I've covered this myself before and am
currently redoing it myself as it was originally done in Sonar
and I can't access those tracks anymore. Richard Ashcrofts, They
Don't Own Me is an amazing track and very very atmospheric. Not
too difficult and might pose as a good
Steve if he'd be able to supply an electronic drum track.
Best wishes for now all.
Steve

Hi John,
Ok, let's see if we can kick start this. Please could you go to
the demos and guide tracks folder, and listen to the demo I've
put in there called 'Stroke Of Love", and let me know if you
think you could start us off with drums. If you can't for any
reason, please let me know if you need any more input from me
first. If you still can't, I'll ask
be pretty easy to hear on Youtube.Steve, I was impressed, like Dave, by the way your tracks in thethere anyone who can put in an electric twelve-string, with a
Katana thread didn't sound obviously synthetic to my innocent ears.
After the drum track, we can add the bass. Is
chiming sound, as in 'Mr.
Tambourine Man' or 'There She Goes by the La's. If you don't know
that track I can share it, but it should
info, but generally I'll have a go at just about anything if I can.

Hi All
I've now sorted out my Dropbox, it's incredible what you just
leave somewhere when you're not used to using it a lot!
I've updated the Musicians file and added myself as a
percussionist (purely in the hitting things sense, not
orchestral) and added myself to the long list of people who can
sing. I've also filled in some style
perhaps we need to simply do a series of tracks.
Talk soon, John

Hi John,
Good to hear from you. Perhaps a good way to start might be to
hear from people what they like. I think though, it'll be
difficult to cater for everyone so,
other guitar players on board so, all's easy.Sort of something for everyone. What sort of music do you like
playing John? Have you a particular style, or genre, you prefer?
You may like lots of different styles of music but might prefer
playing more specific types?
How about some sort of ballady type song as a starter perhaps?
Unfortunately John, I think you're in the minority here so looks
like you're our resident drummer. Apologies though in case
anyone else plays drums. I'm happy to lay down some bass and
guitar but, I know we have several
Lever for corrections. List now reads:
Clive, I've just seen your emails as I'm having to resend this
email because I sent it last night from the wrong address. I
think it's a good idea having a list of peoples musical styles etc.
Best wishes all.
Steve
