In this Reaper for Game Audio tutorial, we're going to talk about how to insert a virtual instrument on a track. Dead simple, but I want to make sure everyone knows how this works within Reaper. It'll also show you how to make sure your MIDI controller is talking correctly with your tracks!

This setup process applies to any virtual instrument you want to use! Whether you want to hook a track up to Massive, Serum, Spitfire, Kontakt, or anything else, use this process to make sure that your MIDI devices can properly "talk" to your virtual instruments!

Alas, this is a quick one, so Thane doesn't make an appearance! Gasp! But he'll be back for future ones! Don't you worry!

We're also using the default Reaper 6 theme for this series!
