I do this kind of automation a lot, but I didn't know about doing the selection and ctrl+shift. Much faster and cleaner!

[jrfoster]

The Ctrl plus shift is sooo much quicker, I use this a lot in vocal volume automation and for this kind of on/off toggle in plugins. Thanks!

[louisholt]

Thanks again for your vids. I always learn new tricks!

Thanks, Mike! Always teaching me Reaper stuff and I greatly appreciate it.

This is a bit off topic, but the Berry amp is moderate for a plug-in.

Really what you're mainly buying it for is the sick presets, but there's not way too much variety in those. They tend to all have low amounts of bass and high amounts of mids (which admittedly is what is ideal when you're playing 8-string riffs in order to leave space for an actual bass guitar) but they all sound pretty same-y. The harmonizer is praised for being able to respond to pretty fast playing, but it's severely limited by the fact that there's no wet/dry knob, no hz fine-tuning, and it only has standard scales based on major. So no harmonic/melodic minor, whole tone scale, chromatic scale etc. Not being able to customize the scale the way you want is especially unfortunate considering that's arguably the #1 most iconic part to Berried Alive's sound. With this plugin you could replicate it with some large amount of automation shenanigans but at that point there are other plugins which do the job better.

The only real praise I have for the Berry Amp is how you're able to customize where the microphones are placed on the Amps and what microphones to use, of which there are a massive amount. This gives an insane meticulous variety to your sound of you want to not use the presets, and in general this is the only point of buying the Berry Amp, as it is easily outperformed by other plugins in every other way.

Great video, Mike! I'd love to talk to you about collabing on some videos. What's a good way to get in contact with you?

[BVCKBENDFL]

I just bought it and I'm a bit confused on how to use this especially after watching this video. So I have to record on reaper first with the regular clean sound and then edit it with the amp after?

[ZeeKat]

TIL you can directly open an envelope for the last touched parameter. Now that's way better than browsing through a hundred automatable parameters like an idiot.

[petealba]

Very useful deep dive! I've been using a pesky workaround but this is more efficient. Looking forward to changing over with some practice, thank you!

Harmonizer is not working for me. it's only pitch shifting as if I had the mix 100% one way, has anyone else had this issue and know a way to fix it?

[heartofodds]

Pretty sure ole chop-fest stole that from nintendo.
