Check out my "Drum Editing in REAPER" course on Pro Mix Academy!

This marks the first in a new series geared towards new users looking to start recording and mixing in REAPER. While the series will be more geared towards working with live instruments (guitars, bass, acoustic drums, vocals), depending on how things go, we may touch lightly on MIDI.
In this episode, we'll look at some default REAPER settings that I like change. it's important to understand some of the things under the hood so you can configure REAPER to work the way you wish to work. It's also important that you have some semblance of a plan for what you intend to do to accomplish the song goal(s) you have in mind.
