![]() And given the entirety of Whoop’s data is based on heart rate sensing, all further calculations were just hot air.īut 4.0 promised significant steps in its accuracy. It was objectively horrible – not just by my tests, but by virtually every trusted reviewer in this space. And the sum total of Whoop 3.0 is that it was arguably one of the worst mainstream optical HR sensors ever made. Some 400+ workouts, each with 2-4 other heart rate sensor devices. In fact, I’d take a pretty safe wager that nobody on this planet has as many comparative workout sets (in terms of quantity of comparative HR sensor devices per workout in total) than I do with respect to Whoop. It doesn’t even let those two Whoop pillars of functionality (training & sleep) mix much in its grading of your results for each pillar.įor those semi-long-time readers, you’ll know I started testing the previous generation Whoop 3.0 nearly two years ago. It’s not a daily step counter, nor a smartwatch with a display, nor an activity tracker. Stepping back to basics though, Whoop’s purpose in life is to try and figure out whether or not you’re training too much or too little, and whether or not you’re sleeping too much or too little. Inversely, if it’s accurate – then we can dive deeper into whether there’s value in the greater Whoop platform, given its pricing of $30/month (albeit substantially less if you buy it in 12 or 18-month chunks). Thus, if that heart rate sensor is inaccurate – absolutely nothing else in Whoop’s app matters. ![]() ![]() See, the entirety of Whoop as a platform revolves around that heart rate sensor. But the real difference you (should) actually care about is the change to the heart rate sensor itself. Sure, it now includes both skin temperature as well as SpO2 sensors. While the new Whoop 4.0 looks physically similar to the previous 3.0, it’s a significantly different beast of hardware. All very simple really.Īnyway I say again ask the BIAB questions over that the other forum.It’s been a few months since Whoop announced their new Whoop 4.0 sensor, and after enough use for me to call this review ready – it’s time to dive (deep) into the details. You can now do any further editing in your favourite DAW program. Then you drop all the exported RealTracks into REAPER and everything will line up perfectly. If you have made tempo changes in your BIAB song then you have to make these same changes at the appropriate bars in your your REAPER song otherwise the bar settings won’t match up correctly. I then make sure I have REAPER set at the same BPM as my exported wave files from the BIAB song. When all that is done I export all my BIAB wave files for the various instruments into a folder. Changing key mid song is no problem as you just enter the new key chords at that point and your change of key is made. This might include changing tempo within a song. I make the song in BIAB and make any edits and changes. However in general I have only used RealTracks. I have certainly made use of BIAB with REAPER and found it to be an excellent combination. It is a very helpful forum like the REAPER forum is. You would be much better served asking all your band in a box questions on the PG Music forums where you will receive excellent replies. Can Reaper switch tempo (say, in the drum part) during the song? Are there any reasons to not use BIAB with Reaper?Ĩ. And for MIDI - say a MIDI drum part - can one edit the actual snare, bass drum, and so on to give a different pitch or sound, or add reverb or other effects?ħ. Is it possible to export individual tracks (either Real Tracks or MIDI tracks) in a common format, such as WAV or MP3?Ħ. Similar to the previous question, can one change tempo during mid-song?ĥ. Is it possible to have various time signatures within a song (or maybe to create different songs and then join them together in order to, in effect, get one new song with different time signatures in it)?Ĥ. Can you mute an individual bar, if you want?Ģ. I have some questions about both the Band In a Box software, and about its potential use in Reaper.ġ. I am thinking about this because it seems to me that using BIAB, or similar software, is a way to get varied sounds into Reaper faster than doing them oneself (e.g., drum track with some interesting fills), and also it sounds like one can create a backing track quickly, and that can be a valuable aid to songwriting / composition. I know that there are people on this forum who use Band In a Box with Reaper, and I am entertaing the thought of doing that, too.
