Video: Recording and Processing Voiceover or Narration in REAPER
Source & context ↗Keep the original. Save an untouched take before cleanup or processing.
Use the written spec. The default is mono, 48 kHz / 24-bit PCM WAV, without baked-in effects. Your written project brief takes priority.
Export an audio file. A REAPER or Audacity project is useful for editing; it is not the same thing as the WAV someone needs to play.
Keep the performance intact. A breath or pause can belong to the scene. Cleaner does not always mean better.
WHEN YOUR SCREEN LOOKS DIFFERENT
Some videos use earlier releases. Check the current documentation when a control has moved. For Scrivener, choose the Mac or Windows version you use.
