Connect AI and REAPER
AI interprets requests. REAPER Bridge carries out DAW actions. These are separate connections.
Connect your AI provider
- 01Open Preferences → AI / LLM and choose your actual provider, such as OpenAI, DeepSeek, Claude, Ollama, or a custom service.
- 02Enter the provider’s model, service address, and API Key. A web chat account password is not an API Key.
- 03Test the connection, save after it succeeds, then send a simple question in Chat.
Connect REAPER to the app
- 01Open REAPER and go to Preferences → REAPER Bridge in the app.
- 02Follow the page to choose the bridge directory, deploy it, and start it.
- 03Confirm it is connected, then try transferring an asset or running a simple action in a test project.
Check three things before running actions
- •The open project is the one you intend to change.
- •Selected tracks, Items, and the Time Selection match your request.
- •You have reviewed the actions. Save or use a project copy before batch changes.
