[RWP] Setting up the rea vocoder.

[Patrick Perdue]

The simple explanation: Drop the vocoder VST on a four channel track, 
and send two mono tracks to it. Send your modulator source to channel 1 
on your vocoder track, then send your carrier source to channel 3. Nope, 
not 2, as you might expect. Apparently, you can send a stereo carrier 
and modulator input into Reaper's built-in vocoder, so mod uses channels 
1/2, and carrier uses 3/4. You could alternatively drive it with one 
stereo track, where modulator is panned hard left, and carrier is panned 
hard right. Just make sure that audio from channel 2 on that track is 
going to channel 3 on the vocoder track by setting up two mono sends, 
channel 1 to channel 1 and channel 2 to channel 3. Note, this assumes 
you are using Reaper 3.x. It's a bit harder to pull this off with 4.x 
versions and the broken state of ReaAccess.

There is a checkbox in the ReaVocode interface to invert the channels.

If you like, I can send you a track template I created with all the 
routing already in place. You'd just need to change the inputs on the 
mod and carrier tracks for your specific setup. In my case, I used two 
mono tracks to drive both sides of the vocoder, then another track with 
the vocoder effect itself on it.

By the way, the MDA vocoder and MDA Talkbox effects are simpler to 
route. They just take audio on channels 1/2.
