Full Transcript Below:
00:00 hi i'm anita potter from anita potter
00:02 production and in today's reaper quick
00:04 tip
00:05 we are going to learn how to change
00:06 reaper's metronome sound
00:16 as you all know uh metronomes are tick
00:18 tick tick tick tick and it's just like
00:21 poking you in your eardrums and frying
00:23 your brain and stuff but there is a way
00:25 to change it in reaper i'm going to show
00:28 you two separate ways one's within the
00:30 metronome and the other one is in the
00:32 click source we're going to work on the
00:34 metronome first
00:36 so up here i'm going to
00:38 go ahead and just i'm going to just
00:39 double click and add a new track i don't
00:41 really need to but it's nice to have
00:43 something there so it's not naked
00:45 and we're gonna click to enable the
00:48 metronome and we're gonna right click on
00:50 the little icon
00:52 and you can see
00:54 that we have settings for the metronome
00:58 enable it run it during playback and all
01:00 these other settings count in and
01:03 beat volume and the beat pattern
01:07 now down here we can change the primary
01:10 beat sample and then the secondary beat
01:12 sample
01:13 i'm going to copy and paste it in
01:15 so
01:17 where did it go it disappeared
01:20 so we're going to right click on the
01:22 metronome
01:24 and you have primary
01:26 beat sample and secondary beat
01:29 i'm going to and i'm pretty sure it's
01:31 going to disappear on me again yep
01:38 which it will do so we'll just get it
01:40 back
01:41 there we go
01:42 primary beat sample i'm going to paste
01:44 it in
01:46 i'm going to get the secondary beat
01:47 sample
01:50 copy it
01:54 oops
01:55 dang it
01:58 and then i'm gonna
01:59 paste it in
02:01 okay
02:02 so when i hit play
02:11 kick snare snare snare kick snare snare
02:16 let's see you can also i do believe is
02:18 there a way to turn the volume up on
02:19 these you can turn it up um
02:22 right now the first beat is at negative
02:24 12 db
02:26 and the secondary beat is at negative
02:28 six so i kind of want to move this one
02:31 up
02:32 to
02:32 a little more that way
02:36 else wait what is the secondary beat
02:38 it's just let me make sure
02:42 primary beat volume yeah i kind of want
02:44 to hear the beginning so let's test it
02:46 again
02:48 [Music]
02:54 and that's the way to change it into the
02:56 metronome
02:57 now i'm going to disable
02:59 the metronome i'm going to insert
03:04 click source
03:06 which is right here
03:09 and you can do the same thing with that
03:12 but
03:13 in order to get to
03:15 this
03:16 you need to hit control f2
03:19 to open up the click source properties
03:21 and i've already got
03:23 the same samples but you'll just browse
03:25 for each of the samples you want for the
03:28 first hit is your primary beat your
03:30 secondary beat is the the rest of the um
03:34 uh four for four
03:37 in four four time it'd be like
03:40 kick snare snare snare
03:43 be the rest of the beats the final three
03:45 beats if i could speak properly
03:48 and then it'll should
03:51 [Music]
03:56 now i'm wondering if i use the gain will
03:58 it make it louder
04:02 yep
04:05 you can turn
04:07 volume up on it you can even do it on
04:09 the track if you want to
04:11 and that's basically how to change
04:14 reaper's metronome now i'm not sure
04:16 entirely
04:18 if it will
04:20 transfer on the metronome i know in the
04:22 click source
04:23 it stays it doesn't disappear but i
04:26 think on the metronome it does so i'm
04:28 wondering if i go to a project that's
04:32 over here
04:34 and i turn this metronome on if it's
04:36 still the same metronome sound that
04:37 reaper came with
04:43 yep
04:45 so for every project you want to use the
04:47 metronome on
04:49 you are going to have to set it every
04:51 time
04:53 unfortunately but if you just use the
04:55 click source it's it's there forever so
04:58 if you have any other comments or
04:59 questions please leave them in the
05:01 comments section below and i will see
05:02 you in the next video bye bye for now
