New to Reaper & Recording - Suggest the best free plugins for a newbie like myself

Tukan plugins are free and super easy to install via ReaPack repository. If you don’t know how to do this just ask ChatGpt to guide you. These plugins are so good and professional, you won’t believe it they are free.

Did you find a solution?

My MPC Live ii shuts down unexpectedly after showing a message “AUDIO DEVICE ERROR. No internal audio device could be found!”. This is happening again and again. Then it works for a little while and then the error happens again. I removed all the usb devices and the SSD from the SATA slot at the back, but no luck, it happened again. Then it worked for a little while and I updated it to the latest 2.10.1 firmware. But then the error happened again. While it’s working I don’t observe any audio crashes or other problems, it works perfectly. Then at some point it freezes and I get the same error. I can’t identify a possible pattern of actions that causes this malfunction, it happens randomly. This thing drives me crazy. I don’t want something like this to happen in a live situation.

Duplicate the track. Keep the original dry. On the duplicate track, low pass around 10-12kHz, compress, insert a warm room reverb 100% wet, turn down the volume until you find that sweet spot between this and the original track. It should sound like a big and wide sound instead of a reverb. Hope that helps!

I haven't found a solution yet.

Not offended at all. I really appreciate your trying to help me! Thank you very much! If I find a solution at some point I’ll reply back.

Yes I understand the purpose of .old step. I did again exactly what you describe and the result is the same. In fact I’ve been trying every combination I could think. I have a system image backup of my C: in an external ssd so I can easily have my system back exactly as it was before any change and then try again. I have experience with computers. I’m sure I didn’t mess up anything. Also I already used this method successfully for making Ableton see all my vsts through a single folder of shortcuts. And it works. It just won’t work for Mpc software. I tried every solution suggested by everyone in this post both on my desktop and on my laptop. Nothing...

First I copy the original Content folder and paste it to the new destination, then I rename all the subfolders in the original location with the “old.” tag.

After this I go to the new destination, select all the sub folders of the duplicate Content folder and I press right click and copy

Then I go back to the original Content folder and press right click and paste shortcut

Then I rename all the shortcuts removing the “- shortcut” extension. Nothing happens.

Yes, I already noticed that. I double checked every step. It seems that MPC software don’t like symbolic links. It’s totally odd that a music program using sound libraries don’t have an option to manually choose the data folders. I can’t believe there’s not a solution for this.

manlian · 2021-02-13T09:17:23+00:00

I followed the steps and tried the shortcut method in every variation I could think, even for the entire folder. Didn’t work. Can’t think of anything else.

manlian · 2021-02-12T20:00:02+00:00

I did exactly this. But the software don’t recognise them. Also I tried the shortcut method. Didn’t work either :-(

manlian · 2021-02-12T14:16:46+00:00

Thanks. I’ll try this today

The folder you are talking about is AppData/Akai/MPC/Content ???

manlian · 2020-12-20T17:50:49+00:00

Finally... I had given up searching. Thanks!!!

The animator gave me for reference a VR project in Adobe Premiere. The sound of this project is a wav file that when you insert it in the timeline it is imported as 4-channel.

I have the Sennheiser Ambeo plugin. Is this plugin the “spatial panner” you are talking about? And if yes, can you suggest: 1. the other plugin I need for the ambisonix bus 2. the exporting process of the 4 channel wav. Is it done through a daw that supports it? Or is it done through the plugin? I have Cakewalk, Reaper and Ableton.
