New Mac user who's just acquired Reaper..
Hey all!
I just switched over to Mac after 5 years on Windows! I'm still adjusting to a lot of the little things but for the most part it's been a smooth transition.
I was pretty decent at using Mixcraft (my DAW of choice, and a windows-only application) before switching, and Reaper looks like the way to go thus far on Mac.
I'm just having trouble with the MIDI side of things. If I insert a MIDI drum track thats already done and ready to go, I can't seem to get any sound to play through reaper. Really not sure what I'm doing wrong - am looking into a few tutorials to see if I can suss it out. On mixcraft, I could assign different VST's to the instruments and it'd play based on the sound of the VST. Was wondering if Reaper has anything similar?
(For the record - I'm also using Slate Trigger 2 to try and assign each drum Midi roll a specific sound, no luck so far it's only playing with WAV sounds! but to get it to trigger the midi sounds I need it to at least be able to mix the midi track down to sound like something! All I'm getting is blank noise haha)
Sorry if this is a really newbie sort of question, I know it probably is.
For what it's worth the rest of it is working very nicely, guitar tones are running through beautifully and the built in fx seem to be working a treat.
Thanks all!
