Hello, and season’s greetings!
I’m completely new to TD. What I want to do is create music videos with TD that are linked to and driven by REAPER using audio routing via REAPER’s reaRoute virtual ASIO outputs and OSC control.
I want to be able to combine video clips, animatons and effects in TD and link them to events on the timeline of the reaper project, as well react to audio signals and parameter modulations.
Specifically, I want to be able to arrange things in TD in a ‘timeline’ fashion, allowing me to specify: x event happens at y time.
Just thought i’d open a discussion here in case anyone else has tried similar things and might have some tips for me?
Hello,
Why do you need Reaper instead of Ableton Live or Bitwig ?
– Ableton is the first choice because there is a TDAbleton tool allowing to master and slave relation between both and Ableton is the first choice for live performances due to the “slot” view of UI, allowing to send and receive orders from TD. MaxForLive has also a great capacity to build tools according to your needs.
Reaper is more a studio tool, great to manage multiple tracks with a lot of effects and with a great capacity to manage multi-voice tracks, like for ambiphonic but its not really tailored for live sessions.
Perhaps the TD team have more accurate infos but I think they are sufficiently occupated to follow the Ableton and Bitwig updates to spend time on Reaper 
But one proposition would be to send timecode from TD to Reaper with LTC audio channel and slave Reaper to this LTC.

Thanks for the suggestion. Reaper is my main DAW, but I also have Bitwig and Ableton.
I’m very new to TD, but I can see that most of the heavy lifting has already been done for Bitwig and Ableton. It looks like OSC control is used as well as MiDI.
I’ll have to take a deep dive, but I can imagine exporting stems from Reaper projects into a Bitwig or Ableton project might be the way to go.
Of course, Reaper can do OSC, MIDI, and audio into TD as well, but I’d have to set it all up manually. Maybe I will in time, but for now, there’s no need to re-invent the wheel!
