[Rwp] Routing Effects to Tracks

[Patrick Perdue]

Well, playing with this thing again after a while... Yeah, MDA TalkBox 
is definitely a much better vocoder. The Reaper vocoder is a four 
channel plugin, meaning you can have both a stereo mod and carrier. So, 
in order for a basic mono track to work, send the modulator to channel 
1, and the carrier to channel 3 (or 3/4,) making sure the track on which 
the vocoder is inserted is a four channel track.
With MDA TalkBox, you can just send mod to 1 and carrier to 2, plus, it 
sounds a lot better.
