Hello.
In this video, you will learn how to write
lyrics in REAPER quickly.
So you don't need any other software like
notepad or MS Word to write your lyrics and
also lyrics in REAPER are aligned with your
music
Let's start
Step 1 - insert a new track and create a MIDI
item.
Then create a midi note
Step 2 - right click on your midi note.
Go to notation.
Go to text/custom.
Select 'Enter text'.
You can type your lyrics word here.
But you have to manually do all this above
process again and again, so we have to assign
a keyboard shortcut for this action
Step 3 - by default, you won't see your lyrics
words in your midi note.
So to enable viewing your lyrics word inside
your MIDI note, go to 'view', then go to 'piano
roll notes', then enable 'show notation text
on notes'.
Without selecting this, you won't see your
lyric words in your MIDI notes
Step 4 - Now, we assign a shortcut key for
this action.
In order to quickly do that, you have to assign
a shortcut key to instantly write your lyrics
word into MIDI note.
For this, go to 'Actions', go to 'show action
list'.
Select 'MIDI Editor'.
Then search for 'Notation: Add text ornament'.
Select that and add any shortcut key you want.
I have assigned 'Tab' key for that, but you
can assign any key you want to.
Step 5 - That's it.
Now look, whenever I press Tab key, I can
instantly type lyrics into MIDI notes.
And I can write entire lyrics for my song
inside REAPER with this.
Even a bonus thing, I can see all my lyrics
with pitch, whether I have to sing G3 or B3
or D4.
Also, load any instrument into this track
so that you can listen how your lyrics sound
like.
You can adjust your lyrics along with its
pitch.
And after adjusting everything, you can finally
record your or anybody's singing with the
help of these MIDI notes & lyrics written
on those.
Thank you for watching :)
