[Rwp] Effect chaining

[Justin Macleod]

Hi, 

 

If you apply your delay to a track and then apply your subtle effect, you will be applying it in series with your delay, therefore it should work, that is, if you don’t have your dry signal in the mix or if your dry signal is mono, so that the only stereo aspect comes from the delay, which can then be widened by your subtle effect. 

 

If, however, you have a stereo dry signal, which you want in your final mix and you don’t want widened, if you only want its delays to be widened, what you should do is send your audio to a track with the delay on it, keeping send to parent enabled on the sending track, with the delay on your receiving track set to 100% wet. Then you can apply the subtle effect to your receive and only the wet signal will be widened. 

 

I hope this makes sense, reading back over it it doesn’t look particularly well explained. 

 

Basically, slapping a bunch of effects on a track is always done in series, so that the latest effect processes the results of the ones before it, including any dry left in the mix. 

 

Hope this helps, 

 

Justin

Hi Chriss,

pretty well explained, thank you

 

i'm still a bit confused

i dont want to aply several fx at the same time to a track or more, this can be done using a feeding track outputting to an fx buss

my idea is:

let's say we have track called "vocal1"

this track i want it to have a delay effect

but the delay effect i want it to have other subeffect not applied directly to the track, but to the result of the delay itself

i could for example phase it, use a special stereo imager or anything i could imagine it to be good for that vocal track

i hope you got me :)

btw both you & justin have well explained it i thank you all so much

I'm just now starting to play with track folders, but yes it's possible, will let someone else help with that.

But with the fx thing and putting your delay to another fx like you mentioned, just insert your fx in the order you want on a track, and consider that track an fx bus.

Then make a send from a feeding track to that fx track,, and then you are golden.

Now when it comes to automation and such,
that's another story,
and that is an area in reaper some  of us are struggling with,
that I find much easier in sonar.

But yes, you can layer your fx, and feed one track with another track, and sends and
receives any way you like it as far as I can tell, and as others more reaperized than I am have indicated.

I just created my first track folder about 5 minutes ago,
so let wiser more experienced heads chime in and tell all if they have time.

hi guys

i'm quickly getting started with reaper happyly

what i want is to pass a effect to another effect chain befaure aplying it to a particular track

example:

do a delay to track 1

but befaure aplying the delay, pass the delay result itself through a stereo widener or a reverb or something

is that pocible?

another thing

is it pocible to group tracks and aply the effect to the mix rather thant particular track?

thanks!
