A context sensitive search function, along the lines of "what do you want to do in Reaper" would help vastly, as it would narrow down search options for each user.

First of all - I don't even want to think about where I'd be without your videos for the past few years. They have been invaluable to me. I'm actually teaching other friends on how to use the software.
I like the new layout but as mentioned by others with a super Search engine to locate videos using key words.
I've always been in awe of how you have organized the subject matter to date.
Great work!
Regards,
Eric

Thank you. The goal of the new layout was to add a search option but I couldn't figure it out. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I would love it to be like REAPER's filter where you can type and video would filter to just those words.
The new page just makes it easier to keep things updated as I don't have to do anything besides upload it all to youtube and add the video to a playlist that it applies to.
I appreciate the fact that you think it's organized. It really is hard to figure out what video should go where. If anyone has any suggestions for making it better, I would love to hear them. More categories? Less? Different categories? etc
Thanks

Hi Kenny,
Here are a few suggestions. I really like when you number the videos.
The Reaper 5 series could be used as the umbrella to organize the other videos you've made.
If you could "link" the same subject matter together with the Reaper 5 series, the other videos of the same or similar topics could be contained or linked in a sub-folder.
For example #5 is Recording Audio. All the recording videos would be linked to the #5 video. You could number each video starting with 5001, 5002, 5003 etc.
Stretch Markers is #20. All stretch marker videos would be in a sub-folder and numbered 2001, 2002, 2203 etc.
Midi - # 24 - Midi videos would be 2401, 2402, 2403 etc.
All videos organized under the main Reaper series in sub-folders by topic.
Each video with it's own distinctive number.
Just my thoughts.
Eric

It's not a bad idea but many of the videos don't fit under those topics.
And now instead of 8 or 9 categories I would have 30.
I would love to create fewer categories (4 or 5) and have 4 or 5 sub-categories under each. Like an owner's manual might have.
It's also complicated as I make new ones. I tend to make videos from varying points instead of from an organized place.
But I appreciate the input and will consider it.

It is looking better but the buttons on the top do nothing. Is that intentional?

Troubleshooting...
Kenny, your videos are great. But Reaper is a little like trying to learn to read and write with Chinese characters. There are some 6000 of them, each of which has a different meaning and function within different contexts.OF course once you learn them all, you're a Son of Heaven or Master of the Universe, or whatever passes for either these days.
I'm a newbie with Reaper and having a hell of a time-an old dog trying to learn all these new tricks so I can get on with turning all my previously published novels into audiobooks.
I'm findng it's real easy to mess up a vital project file, and if one sets Reaper to open on the last project, Reaper cannot open. Is there any way to hold down a key to open the program to it's defaults? Because then it would be easy to fix once one has access to the program. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't reset any config files already on the hard drive. The Cockos webmaster responded to that question with some vague instructions which I haven't been able to implement and I'm at my wit's end about what to do so I can get back to work on my different projects.

Hi Kenny,
I just visited your site and got the following prompt (noscript plugin) in firefox. I wouldn't have normally bothered you with it but noticed it referred to localhost:8088/test and thought it might be a link you left in from testing?
Thanks for all the videos and help through the years.
Andrew.

Hi Kenny,
Sorry for the delay, I have been away from the computer so couldn't test the page for you.
I am still seeing the message. I will send you a pm because I inspected the page and found the line which I think is causing the warning.
Thanks,
Andrew Branch.

Hey Kenny, The quote is from back in Feb 2017
I am very interested to see how you treat your voice in the tutorials, it is very smooth and I can't hear anything in the background. I don't hear any gating or ducking and when you are talking I don't hear any noise... are you in an anechoic chamber?
Please share this info... I do tutorials for my audio production course and need to clean things up for next year, August.
Thanks for all you do, I have learned so much from you.

It keeps getting bumped from the list but this one should be done next week.
Sorry for the delay.
No echo chamber at all. If you're in a rush, watch what I did in the ReaFir video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31phzT7pxkk&t=2s
I start by Dynamically Splitting everything. Then I add ReaFir, a bunch of compressors and some EQ.

Not the right thread.
But, you've probably have the button in toggle-mode,
sending one midi cc on press, same on release.
You need to set it to momentary, one message only.

Reainsert tutorial?
Hello Kenny,
Firstly, thank you for the tutorials. I'd be lost without them so, much appreciation for your work in getting them out to us. However, there is one tutorial not on the list that I'm keeling over for because I use outboard gear- a tutorial on Reainsert. Do you think there will be one anytime in the near future? Thanks again!

Video: Linking Master Limiter Parameters...
Hi Kenny,
thanks for your videos, i learned a lot with them!
For your video: "Linking Master Limiter Parameters" i have an idea:
If you add one more slider to the masterLimiter FX:
-> slider8:0<0,1,1{Off,Compensate}>LevelCompensate
and instead of the line:
-> limit = exp(slider6/c_ampdB);
// LevelCompensate
slider8 == 0 ? (
limit = exp(slider6/c_ampdB);
)
limit = exp(slider1/c_ampdB);
);
Then you get the Level Compensation directly in the plugin and keep the value of the "Limit" Parameter!
Also i like to warn everybody not to change the Reaper js-FX, first make a copy of them rename and work with the copy, otherwise your changes are gone after the next Reaper update...
Thanks again!

Yeah, highly subjective and all.
I myself found Kenny to be the best ever voice-over regarding, pace and smoothness (no "...eh..." heard ever).
For abit, i could imagine his flow of voice (tone of voice) seems not to be totally natural, but for me, that is just what it makes more attractive to listen to.
This way of tone of voice gives it "attitude" and firmness.

Kenny's videos are the most clear and concise that I've ever experienced. I usually only need to watch them once to understand and retain everything in them. The people who run our teacher training programs would do well to study Kenny's method.

Thank you plus
Kenny,
I used to hate recording - okay, hate is a strong word. But, I would only do the basics to prep songs for my band or to get a general acoustic idea across.
Your videos provide the best instruction on using reaper and understanding sound principles as well. I point many musician friends at them.
Furthermore, it has given me the confidence (and ability) to put together more full-featured demos of my songs. I have a Google Doc for specific instruction that I find valuable. You make up about 80% of the document. EQ - it has been my newest/latest revelation for getting sonic separation without having it sound forced.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you for your videos Kenny. You are one of the big reasons the Reaper community is so great.
English is not my first language but I understand perfectly what you say. I really appreciate the effort you put to not talk too fast.

I can only echo what previous posters have said.
Being a former long-time SONAR user, I've found these videos invaluable in learning how to "get things done" using Reaper that were second nature in SONAR at a pace that is spot on for newcomers to Reaper like myself.
Excellent stuff Kenny, and long may it continue

I would like to see a video about aftertouch in reaper.
And maybe something about MPE support.
Thanks for all the great videos you make.

I also would like to thank you Kenny.
I used to do tech support at Steinberg, as well as seminars, and I would love to switch to REAPER, but there are many things I still need to learn.
Because in my studio I record many different types of projects, like bands, some all acoustic, some almost fully electronic, my focus on the last 30 years has been on a very powerful template.
With my default template I can do anything from recording 5.1 surround a full movie, to a live band, or start just about any Audio and MIDI project.
As I learn REAPER, I am slowly trying to build a project template at the level of Nuendo, and I hope to get there sooner or later.
It will be very tough to switch from Nuendo to REAPER, at least at the speed and depth that I am used to, and I hope I can fully do it.
Your videos are incredibly helpful.
John

Hi !
First thing that comes to mind: Why specifically do you want to leave Nuendo for Reaper ?
Anyways,
Yep, you have to take into account that (further) learning Reaper and making a Nuendo alike Template in Reaper will cost you time.
You have to be willing to invest that time.
I honestly think that you won't regret this investment:
I am sure that your workflow speed in Nuendo can be translated to a superfast workflow in Reaper.
I'll bet, in the end, you can do things in Reaper even faster than in Nuendo.
I would say: just take the plunge and don't be afraid.
Ofcourse, this is only my subjective opinion.

vanhaze there are several reasons why I want to switch from Nuendo,
and some of them are:
1 The huge amount of money Steinberg wants to upgrade
2 REAPER's price
3 The incredible capability of REAPER
4 Justin Frankel and his team's excellent attitude
5 The great REAPER community here at the forum
6 Individual contributions like forum's Superstar Kenny Gioia
7 Older guy's learning new software keep their neuroplastic brain younger

Nice!
I do like the idea of a search bar, where if you type in 'stretch marker' for example it would pop up a list of all your videos that cover that topic.
One way to do that might be to use tag words on each video, like people do to get hits on google searches.

Thanks Kenny - two reasons...
Hello Kenny!
I’m a recently retired old fart who now has the time to play and record a lot of music, and Reaper is amazing.
My first thanks, which everyone else happily agrees with, is for your wonderful videos - I’ve learned more about recording and mixing in the last six months than in the previous 40 years I’ve toyed with recording - all because of your videos!
The second thanks is a little more personal - I was born in New York and lived there for my first 35 years... but I’ve been living in Pittsburgh, PA for the last 28 years.
A few years ago in this thread, someone complained about your New York accent - well, every time I watch and listen to one of your videos, I feel like I’m home again!
I’d love to buy you a bagel and cup of coffee someday!
Thanks again -
Tom Kearney

Hmm, if there is a Rewire tut with Kenny, then I could not find it in 30 seconds.
I just went multi DAW user, Ableton in my case.
Ps, no, it must be Kenny, thx.
