Talkback lives inside REAPER. Type a request in plain English and it edits, arranges, automates, mixes, masters and exports, using REAPER’s own tools, applied as one undo step.
Talkbackvox 3.8 dB), shared room reverb, master -14.0 LUFS / -1.0 dBTP. One undo step.
Push to talk, like the talkback on a console: hold the talk button in the Talkback window, or press a key, MIDI button or footswitch you’ve assigned, and say your request.
Bars, markers, regions, “the selected items”, “the bridge”, “the last 20 seconds”. Talkback reads your project and remembers the conversation, so “now fade it out” just works.
Split, cut with ripple, trim, move and copy, duplicate sections, fades and crossfades, item gain and normalize, markers and regions, tempo and time signature.
It measures loudness, peaks and tone on every track, then builds a mix with REAPER’s stock plugins. EQ cuts before it boosts, and compressors are set by the gain reduction they actually produce.
It checks the master against a tone curve, gain-stages the mix, drives an oversampled limiter to your loudness target and renders WAV or MP3 next to your project.
Raw multitracks with every fader at 0 dB, then the result of a single request. Switch between them while they play. Level-match is on by default so you hear the mix, not just the loudness.
30-second excerpts. Multitrack audio from the MedleyDB Sample (R. Bittner et al., “MedleyDB: A Multitrack Dataset for Annotation-Intensive MIR Research”, ISMIR 2014): “Rainfall” by Liz Nelson & Jennifer Davies and “Lark on the Strand / Drummond Castle” by Phoenix, licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. The before/after mixes are derived works made with Talkback and are shared under the same license.
Type in the Talkback window inside REAPER. Mixing requests first measure your tracks on your computer.
The request, a summary of the project (track and item names, positions, plugins, markers, tempo) and the measurements go to AiHud. A validated plan comes back.
REAPER applies the plan with its own tools and plugins as one undo step. Every move stays visible and editable. Optional: a one-line preview before anything destructive.
One request that changes your project counts as one edit. Questions and “nothing to change” replies are free.
The same account and plan also work in Scorehand, our notation assistant for MuseScore.
