Hi guys! Sharing a simple tip and trick with Reaper =)

If you missed this out, in case you need to apply auto gain staging using LUFS measurement to all of your audio tracks (for various reasons), I just learn that we can do this pretty fast in Reaper. No need to load 3rd party plugins/VST on every mixer channels. Here's a quick how-to:

NOTES: Requires SWS extension (it's free, download and simply just run its installer.exe to get it installed)

PREVIEW (RESULTS): We have two options to apply this in Reaper:

1. On mixer channels (auto adjust gain on selected/all volume faders only, audio items remains unchanged) (see screenshot below), or,



2. On audio items (auto adjust gain on selected/all audio items only, volume faders remains unchanged) (see screenshot below).




HOW-TO:

Simply,

1. Focus mouse on TCP and Press CTRL + A
(or manually, select/highlight your targeted TCP (with audio items))
2. Press SHIFT + /
(or manually, Go to Action menu --> Show action list...)
3. On Filter section, enter Normalize. Locate and Run SWS/BR: Normalize loudness of selected items/tracks... (see screenshot below)

4. On the next window, select and enter your desired options, done. (see screenshot below)



That's all.
