REAPER 5 Explained - 21. Ripple Editing Video Lecture | A Complete Course: Reaper Tutorial - Video & Sound Editing

okay next I want to show you a ripple
editing in Reaper
now ripple editing just defines how he
edit in Reaper and there's three
different modes if we go to our menu
under options we could see two of them
right here ripple edit / track and
ripple edit all tracks we can choose
either one of these or we could choose
none those are the three different
options and we could also choose it in
our tool bar right over here
right now it's off hit it once it's
ripple editing on one track
hit it again and it's ripple editing on
all tracks so let's see how it works
let's turn it off
we have some items here that I colored
differently and they're named a B C and
D so let's take B and copy it now let's
paste it right over here
it pastes it right on top of D now in
some situations that's not what you want
if you're using Reaper for things like
video narration or voiceover or as a
stereo editor or for mastering in those
situations we might want things to move
when we paste them so let's undo that
let's turn on ripple editing for one
track hit it once
now it's copy this
and if we paste it right here it moves D
over here
now we have two copies of B
so this moves out of the way based on
the size of B and it works the same way
for deleting if we select it and delete
it it moves D over to fill in the space
before we just delete it if we delete C
D moves over by the length of C undo it
back and it works the same way for
moving our items so if we move C this
way item D moves with it
so everything to the right moves
together so if we grab B
B C and D or move together
or free grab a
they are move
so that's what ripple editing works now
let's say we're using Reaper as a stereo
editor so let's put these items right
next to each other
and now it's pretend we're using Reaper
as a stereo editor and these are
different sections of the song maybe
this is a verse this is a chorus so
right from here using ripple editing we
can change your arrangement let's say we
wanted to hear what the song sounds like
with this part missing
if ripple editing is turned off
and we delete it we have a whole space
now we could select these two and drag
them over
that's an extra step
it's quicker
just use ripple editing
on
go to be delete it and C and D move over
give me any space in our audio file so
if you tried different arrangements that
easily
we could do the same thing for copying
and pasting but say one thing I'm next
to copy so we can copy B click right
over here and paste it we get an extra
copy of B so you hear a different song
arrangement not quickly because D moves
over to make space for B again it's
great for stereo editing or editing
video or narration and for mastering and
it also works if we split our items so
let's go to C and split right here and
right here now we can take this one and
delete it and that space gets removed
we can cut it instead and paste it right
here and it gets placed right there
and again it works for moving our items
so we can move this and D moves with it
remove this and Cindy move with it
we'll move them all but grammar in the
first one
and we could place them exactly where we
want
number two so that's one track
repetitive mode now it's check at all
track ripple editing mode
and here we have multiple tracks and
normally when we grab our items just
those items move but again with ripple
editing
in one track mode
if we move this all the items in that
track move together but zoom out see
this
all the snare items from the one we grab
and to the right are going to move
together
that's because we're in singletrack
ripple editing mode and it's the same
thing if we delete we do eat this item
the other items move over to fill in
that space
or if we copy and paste it right here
the other items move over to make room
for it but again it's only happening on
one track
let's do it with multiple tracks
we'll go over here and switch it to all
track ripple editing mode
and now it's going to work on all the
tracks
and notice we have regions in this
project
so this modes gonna work with those
regions for editing purposes check it
out what's they wanted to remove the
chorus we could select this hit the
wheat and the whole chorus and all the
items that were in the chorus are now
gone undo it and they're back let's do
the same thing for verse one
you can just double-click the region it
selects it then we could select any item
within that time selection
we can cut it and the verse is gone one
with all the items and the region
let's do the same thing with our course
what's they want to remove this course
double click up here choose any item in
that time selection delete it and our
course is gone and the second intro
moves over along with all the items that
are to the right
before
and after it's a great way of
rearranging our song
let's undo that
and it's also gonna work for moving our
items so if we grab the snare track and
move it around everything to the right
moves with it but if you notice there's
a problem with it because it only moves
the items that start after the one we
grabbed
so if I grab this one which is the first
one in the song everything moves so we
can move our entire song to a different
place let me put it bar 7 or bar 9
but if we grab an item over here just
the items that start after the one we
grab get moved so if we grab this just
the snare and the kick track get moved
because these a one big item
but we can fix that
when you want to do that like move the
verse and everything over
just split it go right here and so this
hold shift and select this track in this
one split them and now zoom out we can
move this and all the tracks are going
to be moved can move it over to here now
I have an extra space right here we'll
pull them back or bring them over here
do the same thing workhorse
sweat from here down split them and we
can move these the same way in our
chorus and all the tracks can move
together
and again it's a great way of moving our
entire project if you want to put this
on bar three instead just grab it and
drop it here a know attracts move along
with the regions and even the markers it
all gets moved in all track ripple
editing mode so anyway that's ripple
editing in Reaper let's move on
you
ah
you
