Big news,
REALIVE7 is officially out. A lot of imporvements have been made.


The audio routing window has been redesigned with its own Toolbar.
Click and cues can now be triggered globally from the audio routing.
New “Add cues” menu hitting the [Q] key.
New “Add Action Marker” menu hitting the [K] key.
Section repetition has been enhanced. You now know if a section is repeated several times and when the last time is coming.
Ableton live sessions can now be directly imported in REALIVE (Still in a working but experimental state).
The transport bar buttons now supports REALIVE functionalities.
The transport bar now has a section to show times vs full setlist length. Useful to know how long you have until the setlist ends.
A “click menu” button has been added to the transport bar. Several click related functions are found there.
Seeking to a section start can now optionally trigger a cue and a count.
A “next section window” has been added to show the upcoming section when not visible.
Live looping mode can be activated to trigger several loops separated in project tabs and keep them in tempo. They can be triggered with keyboard shortcuts or anything else.
On REALIVE startup a “recent RPLs” menu is shown.
Improve play button’s responsiveness.
REALIVE Render GUI window.
The division click can be reassigned to the same sound as the beat click.
Several new Realive preferences added in the "Options" menu.
Project playlist: You can right click on a song to toggle it to a “separator” type, that makes it a special type that will be ignored while switching from a song to the next one.
Project playlist: Copy playlist to clipboard to paste it anywhere as text.
"Consolidate everything" action to save the setlist and all currently opened projects to a folder.
Options to automatically send a MIDI Program Change of the song’s number on playback. (Useful for for instruments patches or for a lyrics system).


I finally have setup my website for REALIVE (https://www.realive.fm/).

The manual is there, and a youtube channel with some tutorials.

Looking forward to see you there! :)

We have a very different way of looking on "Live" with Reaper.
Your goal seems to be to allow live controlled playback of prepared content. Mine is having Reaper be a versatile multi-patch instrument being played by Midi equipment (Keyboard, Midi-Guitar, Wind Controller, Breath Controller, ..., and Control Surface Devices for patch selection.) (I do use such a setup "on Stage", see the sticky thread here.)

Both of course is viable.

There might be use for a combination.
I am thinking about doing such by using two Project Tabs and routing midi and audio to and fro.

What do you think ?

Thanks for chiming in! Indeed REALIVE is more of a live backing tracks environment. But it is easily possible in REALIVE to run live dedicated plugins in a Separate tab or to have each song using its own live plugins and setup.

But since it is so easy to make portable installs, I have always preferred to keep my thing separated. So my REAPER DAW is a different config than my REAPER live config. I would probably make me a REA-Vis install if I needed it. REALIVE can send program changes when clicking on a song anyways so it could trigger a separate portable install. Just like to keep my backing tracks running smooth and free from hungry plugins and small block size.

My mentality as always been to keep every song’s timeline separate so I’ll never use only one tab with a big timeline.

Yeah, interesting. I thought the same thing when I saw this! :). I use Reaper in a band and we play live with it. Triggered drums -> midi and then guitar/bass effects and eq etc. I also use outputs from interface to mains/subs and use reaper to do the crossovers!

There is one issue I've found. When installing on a blank portable install I get an error message about a missing file on the final reload of Reaper. It is for "RlvQs_FR_Count_1.wav". The issue is for some reason it is pointing to you personal directory under Users on Windows.

Edit: actually is 183 files are in an offline state.

Also when switching to audio routing view, the whole Reaper window minimizes and has to be clicked on twice to reopen. This happens if you click on the "tab" on the left or if you select it in the View menu.

In good news: The new Reaper fixes for screen updating have dramatically increased the speed of changing projects.... Now fairly snappy on the Windows version.

In REALIVE, there is a main tab thats used to store “always on stuff”
That’s could probably be a fix

That being said. I’m happy if you found another solution that fits your needs better.

mschnell
05-30-2024, 10:13 AM
Yep. For (some of) my setups,I need the life played instruments to be on the “always on stuff” tab to see and sometimes control them, I never need to "see" the backing tracks: I just need to start and to stop them by some midi controller.
That is why I needed to do that research and the not that "common" script programming.

I recently had a BIG show with some Auto-Tune singers. This was an outdoor huge venue and I couldn't risk anything on a system I know has always been rock-solid. So I chose to leave my REALIVE intact and run a "REAPER Auto Tune" portable install to run the live auto-tune stuff. I used the IAC Driver to control the live auto-tune stuff from my REALIVE via MIDI. It worked great.

These were my reasons to do so:

It is more flexible (different buffer size, audio settings etc...)
The backing are still solid and very reliable
Less crash prone (running heavy plugins with a very small block size).

It is so easy to make an extra portable install anyways so it took a few minutes to set it up.

Hey ReaLive Team - a few questions:

1) Is there a way to toggle between a Realive config and the standard Reaper config on startup - in case I want to have my choice between a Live performance rig and a mobile Reaper recording rig?

2) I did not see if tracks can be added to control DMX lighting (I currently use .mid files to control an Ipad app - Photon2). Ideally, I'd like to either drive that through Reaper or directly control DMX via network or USB.

3) similar to #2, is there a way to drive synced video playback for a projector or hdmi screen?

Please let me know on these.. I'm excited to check out the product but want to make sure it fits my needs.

lexaproductions
10-02-2024, 07:34 AM
1- No. The best way is to make a portable install with Realive so that both REAPER AND REALIVE can be run side by side if need be.

2- Yes. It can be manually setup. And I have all of this setup in convenient menu function in my current beta. That will be released shortly.

3- I usually do that with SMPTE timecode. Works great. Setting up timecode for a song is just a click

When writing our backing tracks, I just threw all the songs into one project and composed the additional parts that way, so I have a region per song and they're mostly MIDI programmed synths etc. I have to freeze the tracks to ensure the synths don't go sideways during a show, but as it's just a big long project, it's a bit cumbersome to control, even though we have stop and control markers.

As a result, I'm going to build a new project with rendered audio and have it specifically for performance, not for both writing and performance. Preferably have a good display and control system like what you have in this script.

My question is, however, regarding transitions. We have (currently) two songs where there's no pause and there is a transition into the next song. We're probably adding more interstitial audio and getting more complex with the transitions.

Is there any provision in this script for independent transition audio, so that if we were to rearrange the set list, we can also either remove or rearrange the transitional audio parts easily?

And if not, is there gapless playback between one track and another if we script it to not pause (if that's even possible?) between songs?

Also, we're looking at rolling out synced video as well, and I'd be curious to see what you're referring to when you say you're using SMTPE to handle that. I know that you can usually just drop video files into a track, but are you calling to an external player or something?

lexaproductions
10-10-2024, 02:25 PM
Hello and thanks for your interest in REALIVE.
Yes the smooth Segways are easily done as you can start one song while another is playing. Either manually or automatically using action markers that are already available

As for video, there’s an already setup action setup to generate a timecode track at the length of your song. This allows for external lights or video control

The track is automatically routed to the audio routing at the right track.

Let me know if I can help.

tf5_bassist
10-10-2024, 02:36 PM
Oh cool, so we should be able to have a song defined without the transitional audio, create an interstitial "song" with the transitional audio, and then roll the next song in so that they all overlap smoothly. Good to know, that should make life much easier.

So when you say "external lights or video control", what is it there that you're specifically referring to? Can you not use the Reaper video functions to play video, or control DMX lighting directly from the project? And what are you using for this externally? What should I be looking into learning/getting?

lexaproductions
10-10-2024, 07:40 PM
Well usually video is layer back on a led screen or another system like resolume
And lighting are operated by another system that would receive the timecode to sync to.
That being said, you can setup midi tracks like usual.
The video window is still available. In Realive.
But video playback on a live sequence rig adds a cpu strain that I’ve never used onstage. Your mileage may vary

Althought ancient method, SMPTE TC is still a very solid and reliable option. The screen becomes an extension of your sequences and follows your every moves without a sweat.

That being said, if all is needed is lyrics, then Region/Markers Notes with the SWS Notes Reader might be perfect for the task.

Just different options depending on the preferred workflow.

Ahh, I gotcha. I can see how running video on a separate machine is probably the "smart" way to go about that. Right now we're using my personal MacBook Pro M3 Max until we move to a dedicated show laptop, so I know I have plenty of CPU to spare for now. But if we move to a cheaper, non-daily driver device it may be a good idea to split those two tasks for reliability's sake.

Very likely a second PC for video playback remote controlled by Reaper (e.g. via OSC) might be a way to go.

That sounds reasonable.

It seems that ReaLive sounds like it could be a good solution for us. We don't need lyrics, chord changes, and jumping around song sections/looping, but we do need a rock-solid setlist/backing track playback system that my self-described non-techie drummer can operate with 100% confidence.

Next steps will be looking into triggering mechanisms like drum pads, once I can convince him to take over control of the playlist haha.

Appreciate the guidance!

tf5_bassist
10-21-2024, 09:24 PM
Finally got around to setting up a portable install and bought ReaLive, and trying to recreate our existing tracks there. But I'm running into a few stumbling blocks with the cues and I don't believe there's any documentation to answer these questions specifically.

I see that the built in cues only count up to 6, where we have a few countdowns from 8, primarily at the end of the intro going into the first song. We also use half-time counts since there's a click running as well, it gives us more ramp-up time if a song gets triggered before we're all paying attention.

All of our cues also count down instead of up, so that we know at the start of the cue whether we have a 4 count or 8 count.

I've also created audio cues for the titles of our songs that play right when the song is triggered, which is followed by the countdown.

From what I see, the only pre-built counts are up and on the beat (not half-time), or they're individual counts. But again, only up to 6. I'm fine with flying in my own cues, but will skipping the built-in count system and putting my own on a random track cause any problems?

Hello and thanks for your interest in REALIVE.

in every project you have
QsBd and QsBd_MIDI
QsVx and QsVx_MIDI

Whatever track you put in the QsBd or QsVx folder will be routed to their respective Qs track in the routing. Keep in mind that when building the conductor track those folders are reset. So if you want to build your custom stuff before building the conductor track, you must temporarily move those tracks away before building the conductor track. you can move them back in after.

Let me know if you other questions

tf5_bassist
10-23-2024, 08:36 PM
Ahh, I see, that makes sense. Hopefully custom cues will be on the roadmap sometime in the future!

I did notice a weird behavior though. When I've imported my original file I'm able to line it up where it goes after the count without problems. But once I get more than one audio file imported, trying to move the newly added files to line up with the first one seems really difficult because moving one file moves ALL audio files in the song. Is there a way of changing this behavior to not select every audio file? I suppose the workaround is to select the full file and use the blade tool to move them elsewhere, but it's just cumbersome. I couldn't find anything in the docs about it either.

can we trig by osc a song, and start it directly (and cut other song played before offcourse)? without follow the list! (so any song at any instant go played with just an osc message).

>my goal is to create a "foh information session" when i work with my orchestra (as a sound engineer) who play 3h30 to 4h30 liveshow, and setlist is rarely played without modification (the playback is played on an Ableton live session, by a musician on stage, and I don't want to change it, he has these habits on it).

Hi and thanks for your interest in REALIVE!

While playing back one song, you can place your cursor anywhere in any song and hitting [Return] will go there at the end of the current measure.
[Opt-Return] will go at the end of the current section.

There are commands to seek to anywhere either

Instantly
At the end of current Bar
At the end of current section


Using those commands, you can go to any bar/section in your current song or in any bar/section of any other song in the setlist.

This can all be triggered by OSC using TouchOSC or your method of choice.

You open the action list and look for "realive control seek" to find all the seek related actions.

I've gone over the manual on the website, but I don't see any documentation for the MIDI program changes/CC stuff. I know there's the Insert > REALIVE PROD MIDI thing, but I don't know exactly how these are intended to be used.

Use case is for implementing patch changes on my Helix and guitarist's Kemper. I was able to create a song-length MIDI file in my Reaper project for one of our songs to test out the new WIDI Master device I just got and figured I could just copy/paste the MIDI file into REALIVE, but then I found that Insert command and thought I'd look into doing this right haha.

Then it will setup the Prod tracks if they were not already setup. Then a small dialog will ask for a Program change. You enter the number you want and a PC will be entered on the PC track at he cursor.

Make sure in the Routing tab that the PC track is output to your MIDI device.

Yeah, I also saw that, but it leaves a few questions. Namely, handling multiple concurrent MIDI instructions to different instruments.

Can I just duplicate the MIDI Program Change and CC tracks however many times I need to for each instrument? And then if I do Menu/Track/Insert/REALIVE MIDI PROD: Program Change, will it create the MIDI item on whichever track I have selected? Or is it not built to handle more than one concurrent PC/CC change?

Will be using it to not only play backing tracks, but for the VSTi instruments I will be playing live as well (probs up to four).

So these need to be set when I load the various songs/projects.

And not all at the same time. IE with other systems I have looked at, every song in the project usually pre-loads all the VST's for EVERY project in the setlist when the Setlist is loaded. If this is how yours works as well, it will overload the MIN PC I will be using, not to mention the time taken to load!

The challenge with this is:

To be able to quickly route stuff to the Audio Device and change the Audio device for all opened projects tabs, you must use one single Audio Routing tab. and all other tabs route their audio to that audio routing tab using the Audio Loopback busses.

The two problems with this is:
1- If you want to be able to send audio to the audio routing tab, you must use
Project tabs: Run background projects to ON
But if you don't want all the projects to be on all the time and only be on when playing or focused, you must use the:
Project tabs: Run stopped background projects to OFF
and make sure the audio routing is always playing while another tab is playing. It works great, but this prevents playing live VSTi or live audio FX while all song are stopped. To defeat this, I've made a mode which keeps the Audio Routing tab always playing to "keep it alive" even when no other songs are playing. This allows for live playing back.
2- The problem is: The loopback busses use an extra cycle of buffering so it adds latency. And I haven't found a way to around this. For playback track, it's a non issue. But for VSTi playing you mileage may vary.

3- You may want to setup all you instruments in the different songs and assign them directly to the audio device directly from the songs, but this raise another problem. With Several songs, it would be a pain to change the output of all the pianos for all the songs. or to change the MIDI input of all the Rhodes track for all the songs.

Here's my humble explanation of my findings on the subject. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for that, it explains it a bit clearer however going from what you write there will be issues with how I want to use it.

Perhaps I could run two portable installs concurrently, one with the VSTi's controlled from the keyboard as far as selecting stuff and another [portable running Realive??

See this is why I was asking for a trial - so many unknowns, and as it is software, no refunds. It is over $100 down here, so is a lot to spend on a "pig in a poke" so to speak!

This is exactly how I run my autotune stuff. I made. Portable install running Autotune and control it from REALIVE using the IAC driver.

I even start it from Fealive and enable disable it from REALIVE as well.

If you want to, send me an inbox so we can discuss a possible solution for you.

So what's going on with the Black Friday thing? Don't knwo as the developer seems to have disappeared again!

Not sure I want to buy if this is the example of support - zero response to either the forum thread NOR PM message (as I was asked to do!!)

So if I spend the $150 Aud to buy it, and then need some tech help, is this an example of how long it is going to take?

At the dev....if you are going to charge premium prices, you have to provide a better and more rapid response system!

Thanks for this Post, I will not buy!

He finally DID get back via the PM (perhaps the post prompted it?)...still unsure re the Black Friday thing though...

Too be clear,
What lexaproductions (https://forum.cockos.com/member.php?u=55185) has made, It may, very well be good.


I've long ago stopped buying things until I have thoroughly checked it out!


A live setup can mean many things to the end user (Each user has their way to do things live). Right now, Playtime does look promising, but I'm still Looking.

Ditto to all of that!

He has advised that he cannot figure how to do a crippled demo version, or time/save limited version....all we really have is the manual, which I have perused but it doesn't answer a few key questions. I really do like supporting indy developers, but they need to be contactable - at the very least within 24 hours!

Looks like he has disappeared again.

Got the PM saying it's better to go via a special email address he gave me, did that hours ago and still nothing!

I imagine he will remove the special at the end of this day and then claim I should have bought it!

It's only $25 off anyway

Playtime is only $65.00 and it has a trial that will let you play around with it, you just cannot save or load any projects! That's what I'm currently looking at!

Well hang me for a sucker, I went ahead and bought it haha! I THINK I can get it pretty much up and running from the manual, MAYBE!!

fwiw, I did look at Playtime, but I thought it was a bit arcane and mebbe not EXACTLY what I was looking for, or the MO I was looking for.

You need to clear your messages box. Reaper reports it cannot send my message as you have no space left...

I think this was a good buy tbh, seems a lot more setup and "with it" than the other live app.

I will post back further when I get how I want to get it running on my NUC and touch screen monitor

Let me know if I can help. There is A LOT of stuff already available for a quick workflow. Most of the stuff is one click away.

Hi,

I'm very interested in this!

Is it possible to get two machines on one purchase since we are running redundant setup?

Hi and thanks for interest in this.
As far as redundancy, this will go as far as reaper lets it…

Hi. I meant since we are running two different machines mirrored, is it possible to only purchase one licence and get it for both machines? For example QLab offers on one licence: main, spare + edit. So total 3 machines :)

Best,
Miska

Ah sure. It is a Reaper configuration package, you can install it it on both. :)
