Make beats FASTER with TEMPLATES 🏃 | Reaper Beat Making

yo what is up guys it's vozubitz here and welcome to another episode of beat grinding in reaper today we are not in my studio i am my parents house because i'm on the road uh and i decided to stay here and shoot a few videos just in order not to be in the same place for most of my time i thought it would be a nice alternative for sitting in the studio for the whole day today i'm gonna show you how to make a template for making beats in reaper [Music] i have my mpd here as usual okay so here we are in reaper as you can see the whole design is totally different it's because i started using the ilogic paid version which cost me like one dollar this particular one has a lot of improvements as you can see not only in the layout it's got all the functions like pulled out out of the context menus here you have all the basic settings metronome mixer stuff like that colors if you want to download this theme just go to the comment section down below and see the pinned comment with the link to this particular theme you just have to donate like one dollar to blank files the creator of this theme and he will send you the full version for the email you typed in as first really important question what do we want to achieve we want to make a template for making beats in reaper so a bunch of prepared tracks with some particular fx and particular instruments just to open this template and start making beats out of the box i was doing it every single time i was making a new beat and this is a horror if you are making beats every day preparing all of these tracks kick snare clap every time loading samples you can do it just once and you have all the settings set up so now i'm gonna add multiple audio tracks uh four tracks okay so the first one is heads second one is snare third one is clap and the fourth one is the kick so a basic drum set now i press the kick and when holding shift i'm clicking heads so i have all of this selected and i move it under the drum track so now the drum track acts like a best track like a parent track for all the tracks below it next thing we're gonna do is to select it once again i'm placing my cursor on this blank space right here where is the meter i'm pressing the right button and i set the midi input to all midi inputs i am setting this this way because i'm not always using this akai mpd so i want any instrument any controller i have currently plugged in uh to work with reaper okay now i'm just expanding this right here and here we have the insert what we insert is reassemblymatic 5000 i've showed you in the first episode and here's the reassemblematic interface uh the first thing we're gonna do is to set the minimum volume to infinite that allows us to actually make velocity on any sample we choose velocity happens uh when you hit the pad lighter and you get a quiet sound and you hit it hard and you get loud sound so you get the dynamic range okay it works perfectly and we leave it as it is now i'm gonna hover over the fx and i'm gonna drag and drop it to the next track and to the next track and to the next track now i'm holding ctrl and so i'm pressing m so i can see the mixer and as you can see here is the hi-hat on all of these tracks so now i'm going to change the samples on the other tracks i'm clicking the re-assemblymatic on the snare track and i'm just choosing another sample the volume is also set to infinite because we've set it in the previous instance of ria symplomatic 5000 and we've copied this settings the clap and the kick so remember this is just the default drum kit i'm going to use in this template you can always change those samples whenever you want okay so we have a drum group track and we have all the instruments kick clap snare and hat now we're gonna select all the tracks once again and we press this i button now it's all set to record monitoring on thanks to this option as i arm the track for the recording i can play those samples from the mpd straight away so just one click i hit record and i'm recording a loop okay the drum template is ready now let's make something for the bass i'm going to create the bass bus and under this bass bus i'm just placing the 808 track i'm placing only one track here but sometimes i use more basses like 808 atmospheric basses traditional bass guitar you know lots of different bass sounds and all of them are placed under the bass bus here i have my older project with the 808 sound alike which i tweaked in sirium and i'm just gonna paste it on my 808 track in the template personally i am using sirium because i find it much more bassy and much more punchy but you can use any 808 sample loaded into reassemblamati 5000 or any sampler the purpose of my particular track is to just give me a basic 808 i can modify later but i can compose it like straight away without any tweaking without loading any other plugins i just hit record i just arm it for recording i press any pad and it works perfectly next bus would be the instrument bus i will just name them one two and three i will add another one and call this lead i select all of them and set the input for all the inputs as usual i'm not putting any particular vst instruments here uh it is all your choice i'm using lots of different instruments so i don't need to put them in a template i'll just load them as i need them let's go to the instrument bus itself let's hit the insert and let's type in eq let's apply the re-eq the reapers eq here i'm just gonna make it full screen uh and i'm high passing everything above like 100 hertz so i'm placing this red dot above 300 hertz this cuts off all the low end frequencies because when we have synths guitars mallets anything like that it doesn't need this super low bass because it messes up with the real 808 base this is what i usually do so that's why i'm putting it in the template if i need any like stronger filter i will just edit afterwards this is just some basic stuff okay next bus reverb bus i've added four tracks here which will be vocal reverb tail reverb so this would be this long reverb drum reverb so a really short one and a plate reverb these are just some basic reverbs which you should always have under your hand i will add another one which would be the bright reverb for the vocal reverb i'm going to be using the free epic verb from the variety of sounds here is the epic verb and you've got a bunch of presets here i've been showing this reverb in the second episode of bit running in reaper where i was talking about plugins so i choose the vocal straight and i'm moving the next boss tail reverb i'm using one of my favorite presets here which is the tc tail here it is on the drum reverb i'm also using epic verb and i'm using the drum preset modern drums for the plate reverb i am using a commercial plugin which is not so cheap but the template for you will include the alternative from epic verb as it comes to the plate reverb personally i am using the arturia plate 140 which is the emulation of the emt 140 reverb a really old-school unit i'm setting the blend knob all the way to the wet so i don't get any dry signal and for the bright reverb i'm also using this arturia plugin about with the bright tunnel preset which is like really really bright and really really long and the last thing as it comes to the river bus i'm adding an eq on the whole bus i'm high passing it on like 300 hertz and i'm low passing it around 10k this takes out all the really really high resonating frequencies and all the really really low frequencies from the reverb so when we add something to the reverb it doesn't get muddy it doesn't get like whistling like annoying sound so the reverb bus is finished the last bus we're gonna create is the delay bus i've inserted six tracks and i'm placing them under the delay bus the first one will be delay one slash two so it will play the hot note second one the reverb for the fourth note did they say reverb third one the delay for the eighth notes fifth one delay for the triplets so we've got all the delays we need now we move to the mixer by pressing control plus m remember that shortcut and the plugin i'm using for delay is the classic delay from uh the company which i always can't pronounce correctly chargis audio i'm setting this delay to the effect mode i'm setting it to the half note and it's okay now i'm just drag and dropping it to the quarter note i'm setting it to the quarter note and so on on the delay bus itself i'm placing the ping pong pan which is the plugin that moves the audio signal from the right to the left speaker on a certain frequency i'm mostly using about 40 percent width so it means that the signal goes 40 to the right 40 to the left to the right to the left and so on you can add a bunch of other effects uh on the delay bus like some filters like some distortion anything like just to fit your aesthetic so that's how a basic template looks like you can add a bunch of more buses like fx bus where you would place some flangers choruses and other modulation effects phasers for example you can of course make more tracks in the drum drumbus for the chance for other percussion sounds anything you need for the snaps but i just don't want that big template i just need a template that has drums bass and some instrument tracks so i can start making a beat by just opening reaper so i don't have to set everything up as i open reaper as the template is finished we navigate to the file menu we press project templates and we save the project as a template i already have mine right here so let's name it making a beat so now as i open reaper by default it opens a blank project so now i press file i press project templates and i select making a b and bomb here it is we can start making a b [Music] so guys that's how you make a template for making beats in reaper i hope this template will make your life your producer life uh faster much more enjoyable and you know it will make some bangers just out of the box the download link for this particular template i've made here is available uh in the pinned comment in the comment section down below if you
