Rapid-Fire Reaper Tutorials Ep30: How to Record Yourself Playing, the Easy Way!
Hey folks! Been a long time! Well, it's been a day but I had to miss a couple of Rapid-Fire Videos so excited to be back. Today we're answering another community question on how to record yourself.
If you are your own performer and engineer, sometimes it can be a tedious and gruesome task, and it can have you wrap up on recording early because of how annoying it is. Today I wanna share with you some ways I have found to make this process a little more streamlined for me.
In reality I do use a Remote control App for this, but I'm gonna show you the barebones version first before we get fancy!
