[RWP] Fading in reaper.

[Indigo]

Here's a YouTube tutorial on ducking, or sidechaining in Reaper.
He mostly refers to things by name, so you can follow.
he takes the kick track, which has stereo outs 1 and 2, and sets it up 
with 4 outs, so it has stereo outs 1 and 2, plus 3 and 4;; then he sends 
outputs 3 and 4 to a second track; which he calls the auxiliary track; 
which will feed the ReaComp compresser.
What happens is the kick then causes the compressor to duck down the 
synth track in volume when the kick occurs.
I haven't totally puzzled out how the compressor is routed to the synth 
track, but I'll listen a couple more times.
You can do the same thing with your music track; make it duck down in 
volume when you speak.
There's another tutorial that's also good, I'll try to post here, that 
may make sidechaining clearer.
