Reaper(Fried)

[Tonray's Ghost]

I've been Reaperfried....arghhh.

So after a year of having my little Valeton GP-100 (which I have come to absolutely love !) I decided once again to descend into the depths of DAW recording seeing that it has a USB interface built in. After some initial hiccups, I got the proper ASIO drive from Valeton and Reaper recognizes the device and I see audio levels move when I strum the guitar...but...I don't see any other indications that it is recording anything in the waveform when I try to record (record track is armed).

Any suggestions ?

I can't help, so I'll do my best to hinder.
This is what I know about a reaper, crappy sound, and a fried brain. It's what I was expecting when I clicked on this thread

Ok...figured it out. Something about Normalizing Peaks....just followed some advice on Reddit..don't worry not planning on buying Gamestop but they do know their Reaper options.

BTW. Found a great YouTube Reaper channel to get started.

There are dozens of Reaper videos (mostly by the same guy you referenced above) right on the Reaper website… all nicely organized:
