Quite enjoying this built in non-destructive spectral repair in the newer versions of #reaperdaw. One less thing I have to use RX for. Works for time selections and razor edits too. > Sample edits: Spectral repair sample values in time selection for all channels at mouse

Ahh, got it. Not something I ever do, but get why it's important now. Thanks.

I'm sure that pre-receive sends are useful, but I'm having a lack of imagination on how to use it. Do you know what the intended use case is?

Had a dream that there was a creature living under the sidewalk that would show you its den in exchange for one pebble, a bit of mortar, and a wild rose.

Ever wondered what's up with Neutrinowatch, the procedural podcast @jeffemtman.com and I make together? We told @narrascope.org earlier this month, and now you can find out too! youtu.be/SHzglKMNWdI

Can't believe I never noticed the action called "File: Spawn new instance of REAPER". It just opens another window so that you can work on multiple projects (and copy-paste between them) in split-screen. Will make integrating pickups a lot faster. #reaperdaw

Oooh and @jeffemtman.com and I are speaking at this too! But you can skip that if you’re a person of excellent discrimination and taste!

Genuinely flattered that the kind folk at Klankverbond put a picture of me babbling about sound design on their website. Klankverbond is a really unique org that supports independent audio folk in Belgium. If you're doing audio in Belgium, join them! www.klankverbond.be

This trick doesn't work in minimum phase eq (what pro-q calls "zero-latency") because of the phase shifting inherent to the at approach. Other than this "auditioning the eq shifts" trick though, I'll leave the linear phase eqs to the folk mixing drum sets or whatever.

Jeff Emtman @jeffemtman.com · 17/04/2026

I think Linear Phase EQ is kind of overhyped. But the one place i often use it is for checking my adjustments. Flip into linear mode for a moment to see if the high pass is negatively affecting the voice. Easy to hear it with the delta solo option in Reaper. You'll hear only what's changed.

I'm quite in love with this script that lets you absolutely break FX and synths in #reaperDAW by randomizing every knob at once. Script is called mpl_Randomize Track FX parameters Synth is Pendulate by Newfangled Audio

Thanks for asking. Sorry to let the feed go stale. I've been stuck in a galactic sized game of whack-a-mole. Due to a recent job getting delayed, I'm optimistic that I can get a handful of short episodes out this month. Not big episodes, but small things.

Looking forward to leading a session at the MIRP Meeting in Belgium on Weds. Hope to see you there.

Ahh, looks like you've got a linear spectrogram. If you go into view-->Peak Display Settings, you can adjust the scale so it's logarithmic. Linear is good for high freq definition, and these log'd curves give better definition on the low freqs.

I suspect that the benefit of having the extra freq info is lost by the small track height. Try with this same clip I used with a big track height. filebin.net/m6tjj3m7plf4...

Convenient file sharing. Registration is not required. Large files are supported.

I think so. I think also the biggest gains from increasing FFT resolution is shown at low freqs. I forgot this earlier when I told you it might be a bug. I'm not more confident that this is just an inherent trade-off with spectrograms.

200

I'm not great with FFT, but if I understand right, in FFT, you have to trade off between time-based accuracy and frequency based accuracy. So, I think that transients have to fade a bit as you increase the fft size.

100

Here's the difference for me.

200

Is your track height tall enough? It only kicks in when it's kinda tall, too.

Jeff Emtman @jeffemtman.com · 17/11/2025

Hmm, for me, the high res is definitely more detailed. Possible you've found a bug? Here are my settings:

Quite happy about the new high-res spectrogram option in #reaperdaw Low-res on the left, high-res on the right.

I've used quite a lot of cassette tape emulation plugins for #sounddesign and I'm coming to the conclusion that Spectral Audio's (now) free OSC-45 sounds the nicest of them all. Beautiful saturation and wow/flutter emulation. archive.org/details/ocs-...

I certainly hope that if you need the group rate on duct cleaning you'd come to me first and not those other hacks.
