[Rwp] More Reaper Inquiries

[Gavin Grundlingh]

Hi all,

OK, now that I've gotten folders to work, I'm attempting the 
sidechaining / ducking example in the user guide. The thing is, apart 
from having to make certain changes to account for trying the example 
from a keyboard rather than a mouse,, I followed the instructions to the 
letter, but can't seem to get ReaComp to have any effect on the folder I 
apply it to. I noticed that the plug-in pin connecter dialog is totally 
inaccessible, so I verified my pin connections in the context menu 
accessed by right-clicking the button that displays the inputs and 
outputs for the selected effect.

I have a suspicion my problem lies in not properly creating a send from 
the vocal track to my folder. The user guide says to click and drag from 
the IO button of the vocal track to the IO button of the folder 
containing all the other tracks. Apparently, this will create a send 
from the vocal track to the folder, and open the controls for that send, 
allowing me to change its options. What I did instead was open the 
routing window for the vocal track, and added a send from there, though 
I didn't see an option to change the newly created send's type, as the 
user guide says it should be Post Fader (Post Pan). Could this possibly 
be my problem?

Regards,

Gavin
