▲ 7 r/Reaper

Absolutely in love with reaper but having a few problems (Former Ableton user)

I started using reaper around two months ago and coming from ableton I feel like I used to be in handcuffs that have now been suddenly broken. Reaper just has so many more quality of life things that ableton just does not have. ARA being one of them, Pre Fx automation being another and then there is the track routing that is just honestly insane, I can just route out the dry signal from Addictive drums into separate trucks and then process them using my favorite plugins instead of having to used the Addictive Drums fx themselves

But one issue I seem to be running into is performance itself which comes as a surprise to me considering how lean reaper is

this happens especially if I use kontakt libraries I had a song with 2 tracks of omnisphere, 2 tracks of keyscape, 1 track of addictive drums and then 4 tracks with kontakt, now if I did the same in Ableton I would never get audio stutters or audio breaking but in reaper I seem to do and I am 100% sure this is a configuration issue. Some things that helped me intially were disabling multi core on kontakt itself and letting Reaper handle the multi threading and obviously increasing the sample rate but even still the same setup in Ableton could be handled with a much lower sample rate

I am currently not using ASIO but rather DirectSound because my Minifuse is not with me at the moement and wont be until next month

If anyone has any ideas on what I could try I would be grateful

OS : Windows 11 (unfortunately)
Processor : 8th Gen i7 (mobile/laptop)
GPU : GTX 1050 Mobile 4GB
RAM : DDR4 16GB 2x8 SODIMM

For storage I am using all SSDs so I doubt that would be causing any problems

Some plugins/vsts in case that may shine some light:

Omnisphere
Keyscape
Rigid Audio Nylon (KONTAKT)
Electric Mint (KONTAKT)
Session Bas (KONTAKT)
XLN Audio Addictive Drums
Soundtoys Suite
Waves (CLA, H-Delay, SSL, API, Puigtec)
Slate Audio Bundle
OB-X
Wavesfactory Cassette
Wavesfactory Trackspacer
Melodyne
Fabfilter Pro-Q3, Saturn, DS, Pro-MB, PRO-L2
Soothe 2

Looking for a very specific youtube video

Hello r/ableton

I am trying to find a video i watched years ago that I found through reddit but cannot seem to find again

I dont remember everything about the video but it was about mixing vocals, the mixing was done in ableton, the vocals were japanese but the producer was an english speaker probably european.

What i remember is that the person who linked the video on reddit claimed that the producer was their friend and that there was nothing else like this available on youtube.

To their credit the claim held up and I have not seen a video of that quality or depth ever again and I would like to revisit that video.

EDIT: the video might also be unlisted so it might only accessible through the link

EDIT2: the vocals were male and pretty soft

EDIT3: What i do remember is them using mostly stock plugins but not sure if they used non stock plugins but the compressor they used mostly was the default ableton compressor and i cant quite remember the technique used for compression but it was unorthodox

If anyone has any leads please let me know

me and my family have interviews in november and I was told that regularly checking the website and checking for rescheduling can get me dates for an earlier appointment. I have been doing that for a while but have never really had any success, are there any specific time slots when there is a possibility of interview slots becoming available so that I can reschedule?

Hi r/UAEjobseekers

I landed in Dubai in July of 2024 and have been looking for jobs ever since. I was a fresh graduate with around a year of experience as a Full Stack Developer under my belt. I have tried almost everything here, applying online, messaging people, whatsapp groups, trying through references (for context my father has been here since 18 years, he works in real estate).

Nothing has worked so far, I did get an internship opportunity working as a Java developer (which is the preferred tech stack I want to work on) but that internship did not result in much as the company was going through some internal turmoil of their own.

I even tried making projects and keeping an active github to no avail.

Only opportunity I got was from reddit when I made a post and someone reached out and while everything went well, I ended up being ghosted while trying to discuss the notice period flexibility when they gave me the offer.

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? 2 years of my life have been spent on this trying to utilize my resident visa to absolutely 0 results. no interview calls even

My visa expires on the 29th of July and I honestly no longer know what to do

If anyone knows anything and could guide me in any direction whatsoever I’d be grateful

Thankyou
