[Rwp] Routing Effects to Tracks

[Patrick Perdue]

Reaper’s vocoder is a traditional audio vocoder, which has no synth engine. To make it work, you need a modulator (your voice, presumably,) and a carrier (a sound to super-impose the modulator on)
A dirty way of doing this might be to use a saw wave from ReaSynth. Send it’s output only to channel 2 of the track with the vocoder effect, and then only send your modulator source to track 1, making sure those tracks are both not routed back to master.
Otherwise, you will hear the dry modulator and carrier as well as the vocoded output.
If you like, I can throw together a quick template that works, and you can study it for your own use.

BTW, you might find MDA Talkbox to be a more interesting effect, or MDA vocoder. The one that comes with Reaper isn’t horrible, but there are more interesting ones around.

I can insert the vocoder effect just fine. What I'm having trouble with is routing that track with the vocoder on it to my track I'm using for voice. How would I do this from a keyboard perspective?
