![]() ![]() I also found a slightly acceptable workaround: Copy the comped events down to a single lane, then I won’t forget what the comp was if I wanted to mute all prior takes. I really don’t like having to use the Cycle recording more in an unintended way like this just to be able to solve the problem of recording a MIDI take and being able to ignore the others. But to not think of this, and it CLEARLY be an unintended use case…Ĭubase is still in need of a usability and interface overhaul. If what you’re proposing is to use a feature for “X” to solve a problem for a different scenario (use “Cycle” recording mode to workaround the limitation I’ve described), then … I guess that might work? It didn’t even occur to me to set the cycle markers to the whole length of the project (I only care about the “NOW”… and don’t want to be bothered by a range) and just go back to recording as I would normally. “You can record in a cycle, that is, you can record a selected section repeatedly and seamlessly.” (See: ) “Cycle” doesn’t mean… loops? So you’re proposing that I turn on “Cycle” recording that (according to the manual) is: Wanted to provide a little more color to the scenario where I want to be able to simply “record and ignore all the other lanes/takes - and not mess up any of my editing/comps”. But now I’m thinking the only solution is to use the “MACRO” (oh god)… to “copy the track without events” and just mute the current track. This is a very common thing I want to do… Come back to a track, add a few more takes, clean up some stuff. But now that I’ve performed some slicing and dicing with the comp tool, the unmuted tracks make up my current track… that’s decent… This is now a nuisance as I want to lay down a few more takes… Previously, prior to comping, I simply “Shift-M” after a take … and pause to breathe (sorry… cycle mode won’t work for me… I’m not on Adderralllll). ![]() (Note: The way the comping seems to work with MIDI is by effectively muting all other lanes, so you’re left with unmuted events that make up the final track) A box will open where you can select a different automation mode based on your needs, such as Trim/Read, Read, Write, Touch, Latch, etc. The problem is that I’m basically forced to create a whole new track so that I don’t screw up my current comped events. Automation Modes in Reaper To change automation modes, navigate to your track in the mixer and click the button called Track Envelopes/Automation. I want to now go and do a couple more takes for a section of the track… maybe even the whole thing. It lets me work in the same fashion as audio, where it mutes other lanes… splits across lanes… it’s pretty fluid, and a wonderful tool. I do admit, the “comp” tool actually does the right thing! when working with MIDI lanes that have been muted. The current bass track currently has 7 lanes, of which I’ve “comped” bits and pieces from about three of the seven lanes. Come to think about it, we should probably have included a template song file with the RE.So tonight I’m going back to cleanup a bass track for a song I’m working on. Route it to the output(s) you want, and maybe even assign a Keyboard Control Mapping to the On/Off button, for example the 'C' key. The idea of MetroTone is to make it part of your song template. The other combinators are experimental patches we added for fun. MetroTone is connected to two Thors which can be controlled via the combinator knobs and buttons: It has separate pitch controls for Bar and Beat, a common Decay knob and a common switch to choose between Triangle/Square wave. MetroTone is prewired to a Redrum, just drag samples into slots 1 and 2 on Redrum to replace the sounds. Since MetroTone is a Utility device, it will not be auto-routed by Reason. This is a single MetroTone wrapped in a combinator, with the advantage that it will auto-route to a mix channel. We included a couple of combinator patches as well: Yeah, the built-in tones are there to get you up and running quickly. I think you could just hook up a Redrum via CV outs, if you needed more or different sounds. The 4 they chose is neat and all, but there's so much more!
