Modular Templates for Music Production
Using Templates works in very specific scenarios. If you are working for other people it's best to have an session and a studio that can adapt to other people needs & music. Building modular is the way to go, since it's flexible and like block building at any point.

Why are the letters showing diagonal moving lines?
I don't think this one belongs in the mega thread, it's not a crash. If I'm wrong, just let me know and I can repost. I searched and couldn't see similar posts.
How to Build a Mix Session?
There are several steps any mixing engineer makes sure are done before mixing. I share my own flow with a lot of tips and stuff to find before running into them mid mix stopping your creative process. Don't stop your mixing session because of bad habits, do this instead. I hope it helps some of you!
In which sort of things do you usually get stuck? I'm happy to make a list to help your Reaper flow.
While recording With Reaper, some Modes might be better for certain situations. Here I show how to use Lanes in specific scenarios or Takes.
If you are recording in Reaper, every feature fits different moments better. Take advantage of the versatility that Reaper offers for recording. Add the Recording Modes on top of this, Markers, Reference Items & you will have all that you need for fast recordings & total control over your session.
There's also a How To Record in Reaper Playlist in my Channel if you want more details.
Do you know how the level in Reaper is related to how many dB SPL in your studio?
Proper monitoring calibration is necessary for studio work, I can talk hours on this topic. It will make a difference, what you listen impacts your decisions.
What level should you be hitting in Reaper so that it translates into the real world? most of the processing you might want to do for volume are because your studio isn't properly set / calibrated. I'll show you how to be in a much better starting point.
