How to use the Reaper Audio Editing System from Basic to Advanced – with audio producer and experienced trainer Micky Curling.

Each session is £30 plus VAT. It is possible to do individual modules or all three. If you sign up for all three it is £80 plus VAT.  

Module 1 – Introduction to Reaper – 14th November 1000-1130
£30 plus VAT
Maximum 30 people

This session is for people who have experience of editing, but have never used Reaper before. This is aimed at people who currently use other systems for their editing (like Adobe Audition, SADiE, Pro Tools).

What is Reaper? How is it different to other editors? Why should I make the switch? An introduction to Reaper terms (tracks, media items, docker, etc) and a tour of the user interface. A demonstration of recording, editing and rendering audio. An explanation of how Reaper session files work and some best practices for keeping your files organised. 

Homework: Practice editing in Reaper. 

Module 2 – Advanced Editing in Reaper – 21st November 1000 – 1130
£30 plus VAT
Maximum 30 people

This session is for people who feel comfortable with Reaper and have potentially attended session 1. You will develop an understanding of advanced editing techniques, level control, mixing, the built-in effects plugins, defining regions and markers, and control over the rendering process.

Homework: Record, edit and render a simple 1-minute audio example. 

Module 3 – Jumping in to the deep end with Reaper 28th November 1000 – 1130
£30 plus VAT
Maximum 12 people (if this is oversubscribed it may be possible to run this module again at a later date)

This advanced session is aimed as a starting point for people who want to go deeper with Reaper. This is for documentary makers, sound designers, engineers and producers working at all levels of the industry. Reaper is an immensely powerful tool and no amount of training could convey the possibilities. This course will act as a Q&A to allow participants to develop a deeper understanding of the possibilities. At a minimum, we’ll look at programming keyboard shortcuts and macros, utilising Reaper’s many extensions, demonstrate some instrument and effects plugins and look at audio routing for advanced audio processing. This session will dynamically react to the participants.
