Kenny’s videos are fantastic. I join with the others to add my heartfelt thanks for your work, good sir.
Also noticed that you’ve changed themes and added new intros and outros. nice touches.

Kenny the videos are a compelling library of information that is superbly set out.
Sadly I don’t use YouTube, or any of the corporate social media sites with a login so can’t subscribe through those routes to comment. If I did have a comment other than thank you, it would be to request an insight to some othe features you use. Like setting up the screen display that shows the output from a physical midi keyboard … eg. The 1 key becomes a 3 key chord output and some of the other things that flash past in a video… I sometime sit and wonder ‘just how did he do that?’ …
Anyway thank you again for your patience and time put into these tutorials.

Hey, Kenny! Love your videos and can't thank you enough for all the help you have given those of us who love Reaper. Question: I just watched your video Recording and Processing Voiceover or Narration in REAPER. What determines exactly where you set the frequencies in ReaXcomp? I noticed that you are moving them around but what are you listening to/for that tells you where to set it?
Thank you, Sir!

@Flubotti:
Frankly, the order Kenny`s videos appear in is the ideal way to access them, rather than alphabetically.
Sorry it took a while for a response, by the way. Xmas eve was a tough time to put up a question when all the Xtians would be swapping presents or drinking booze, etc....

Is it just me, or are a couple of Kenny's recent videos marked private on YouTube?
Specifically, 'Playback Looped Takes as One Performance' and 'Quickly Rename Tracks or Items'.
I just noticed because I usually download them to a tablet so I can watch them while plodding along on the treadmill at the gym.

Either here or I guess subscribe to Kenny’s YouTube channel as that would, or so I think, ping you when he posts something else up. It’s a tough one if you aren’t somebody that has a google/YouTube or a Facebook account and not everybody does.

As someone without a Facebook account or daily activity on ThemTube (I deleted the app off my phone last year and never looked back) I just have his main page bookmarked, go there once a week or so, and check to see if there’s a new video up. Not too much of a hassle considering the alternative of getting bothered by social media every hour or so on my phone

Suggestion to Kenny
Kenny,
Thank you for the videos, they are excellent.
On thing, as new comer I sometimes struggle with is, you use keyboard shortcuts to do something simple, but don't explain what shortcut you used because it's not related to the video's topic. I guess you assume people know what you did. It will help beginners like me to know exactly what you did to make the change.
Thank you

Any thoughts of a video using Scaler in Reaper?
Kenny,
I among all the rest on here love your videos and use them constantly when I am trying to figure out how to do something while recording.
I was wondering if there was any thought of doing a video setting up and using Scaler from plugin boutique in Reaper?
It is a great little program that is useful in coming up with ideas while writing music. It is also very affordable and I would love to see you set up several instances of it in reaper to create a track.
Just a thought.
Thank you again for all your help with this great program.
The Fishman

video idea
Kenny, loved your AMA. Hope that desk is still standing lol
I answered a question that has lots of views on here and reddit.
Don't think you've done a video on it recently.

Request
Since the videos are awesome and since there are beginning to be a lot of them (which I love!), is there another way to search the videos with keywords like "stretching audio without changing pitch". Sometimes I know there's a video I've seen about a certain topic and it's hard to find quickly other than knowing the category and searching thorough all the videos that might be it.

Seems to be really good tutorials for those who can follow this type of speaking and a lot of time is put into these videos. It is not the speed, it is all the breaks in the wrong places that makes it hard to follow, but then again, I am just one person.
I am beginner in reaper and I find these videos really hard to follow because of this.
Eg it is like reading a....book with several...dots between every....third word, it just....hard too...read this, or pause a movie every 10th second, you get out of focus quite fast.
I have tried several times to watch but I just can't keep watching after a minute or so...I am quite sure the subscriptions would be far more if it wasn't because of this, because the content seems to be really worth while besides that.
Please read this as constructive criticism, my native Language is Swedish and on the flip side of this, I choose to learn by trial and error, so in a sense, that is educating too.

It's been a while since I've watched Kenny vids, but I'm pretty sure "the breaks" are not "in the wrong places." You as a beginner probably just need to stick it out a little longer, try harder, learn a little more, and pieces will start to fall together more easily, you'll find the videos easier to follow, etc. A lot of the procedures in Reaper (or any DAW software) can be pretty complicated, and there's a lot of them, so...
Pause the videos, work through the routines/the steps, re-start the video, repeat the processes, and then repeat them again and again in your work - it should all start to gel, eventually.
You might be a little like me. I'm not good, patient, with step-by-step instructions. I prefer more global, over-arching, conceptual explanations, and then me putting those concepts into practice, figuring out the steps myself. But, you often just can't convey the 'big picture' and/or the underlying logic in a few minutes. You have to start with the pieces, the steps, and just endure the tedium. You'll 'get it', eventually...

Just an FYI... For speaking fast/slow, there's no need to record it any differently as there is a playback speed control for both the Reaper and YT versions of the videos.
That's what it's there for FYI.

I feel you; however, have you ever tried to make a tutorial video? It’s really hard to do things, think about what you’re doing, keep the right steps in mind, find the right words to describe what you’re doing, and talk all at the same time. Took me a couple videos to get used to his verbal rhythm but once I watched a couple videos it started making more sense and I got used to it
I suppose that theoretically, one could write a script to find all silence over say 1/2 seconds and then trim that silence with the video; but then you’d be cutting out potentially useful information from the video… unless you then also figured out how to automate insertion of time-stretching flags and time-stretch each section where the silence was cut out… that would probably be a pretty huge task though…

I am a beginner in reaper, but not in the English language, it is not the understanding of words that is the problem here. It IS the breaks and pauses, as many others stated. Now, I don't want to talk down Kennys effort, but his videos is not for me or the ones who has a hard time following the videos because of this, it has nothing to do with pausing the video to understand it is the flow of the talk, that is the issue.
The reaper blog and Lets talk about reaper, gets my attention thou

No, I have-not done any educational videos, but a bit of educational support in IT-systems, but not videos.
However, I´d really like to watch them, start to finish, but I just can't, so my attention goes to The ones I can follow (eg The reaper blog, Lets talk about reaper etc) without thinking about the stops and pauses in the middle of sentences.
Well, as said, the videos is not for everyone as our styles in taste and music differs, there's nothing more to it than that. And still this is only my own opinion (even though I am not alone), and far more people like the videos, even though I think the subscriptions could increase if these stops and pauses were to vanish somehow.
Kenny seems to have some impressive knowledge thou, and should keep up the good work for the many others who can follow.

It is not the speed of the speech that makes it hard to follow.

I think. Kenny's pauses are. Endearing.
I have no trouble. Following.
On the contrary. I keep checking. On YouTube.
EDIT I mean checking. For new content. By REAPER Mania. (That's Kenny Gioia.)

You made my point, then a read a book like that, preferable in a language that is not your native language, let alone, listen to an audiobook, although I don't think there is one that reads like that.
And yes YouTube has other choices

I think that without the pauses, Kenny's fast paced NY hammer would be even harder to follow for a non-native speaker!

Like almost every other YouTuber you mean?
Or maybe I need to take a breather in the pauses and stops, and meditate them away.
I will leave this as is for now, I´d just want to leave a constructive note on the matter.

IMHO, the breaks are perfectly emphasizing the correct places in the flow of the sentences.
I am not a native English speaker and I find Kennies videos are among the easiest to follow I know.

I beg to differ, and more so when the videos is the only ones existing on the reaper site.
A purchase of the software, could make it or break it for those who really do think they're hard to follow.
Just an honest opinion and should be considered as constructive criticism since it is official tutorials on the Reaper site and the vids are a sticky topic on this forum.
And to all of those who has the need to defend the videos as is, please think outside the box, there are more than one views to a perspective, whats obvious to some could be really hard for others as in ordinary life.
And personally, I have no issues following every other information or instructional videos on the matter on the internet, so there is no lack in understanding words or the language, but I have never heard anyone give instructions with stops and pauses that takes makes me loose interest and focus.
It is all in the beholders perceptions right....

HI
Thank you so much for these videos, I've learned a lot from it!
Don't know how much I have seen so far, but more than 200 in the last 6 months I think
Since this week I'm fully working with Reaper (Cakewalk before from the beginning on, Vers. 0.98 Shareware)
Thumbs up
Awaiting the new Comp Features in a Video, which will hopefully come in the future
Greetz,
Bassman.

I understand that you don't like Kenny's videos.
And that's your basic right.
I don't think it's necessary for you to tell us any longer.
Seven messages were enough for us to understand.

Yes, I did!
And we should be thankful for that, without the nay-sayers, there would be no development.

I too wish Kenny would make more videos maybe with blonde pigtails and big breasts. But I still follow the videos of him with soda and popcorn. I remain humble.
Ciao Kenny thnx always

hmm, maybe the or a point I was trying to get at, something I'm not understanding here, is that, Kenny's been doing these videos for a long time, they're all similar style/presentation (i.e. he does them the way he thinks he should do them, the way he wants to), there's a lot of them, etc., he's doing a service here for reaper folks, and you're the beginner, looking for help:
Shouldn't you be the one who tries to adjust your brain to his style, not him adjusting his style to your brain?
I mean, you don't have to, and apparently you're not going to, but I think you'd be better off not adopting, settling on, such an inflexible position. Adapt...

The purpose of my narration style is based on people following along and not getting lost and having to keep rewinding when they miss something. So you can ingest information in slow packets.
This won't work for everyone and that's understood but the feedback I've received is that it does work for most people.
My recommendation for you (and it's how I learned) is to use the User Guide.
https://www.reaper.fm/userguide.php
It allows you to work at your pace and the only voice you'll be hearing is your own.
Unless you're a psychopath and you find your inner monologue to be someone elses.
Good luck.
Kenny
