[Rwp] A few Real quick questions about instantiating plugins

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Aa, gotcha.  that takes precedence over activating a control.

So, here's the deal now.  I looked in the ctrl+Shift+W window, but I only see 3 parameters: Volume, pan, and mute.  I don't see a way on the track itself to set an in/out.  and F7 isn't arming.

Here are the precise steps I'm taking.

1.  Open Reaper.

2.  In windows Explorer, locate the mp3 file of the karaoke track, and copy it with ctrl+C.

3.  Alt+Tab back over to Reaper, and hit ctrl+I to import it.

  Cuz space is the play shortcut key even in fx windows.

    Why shift and space on the add button?  Wouldn't just space do it, or is there another little gotcha here that I'm not yet aware of.

      Hi Chris, there is Reaverb and other reverbs too. Press F to get to the FX window. Type verb into the filter edit field and then enter, which will narrow down your effects based on the search term. Tab until you get to the list of plugins, and then down arrow through choices. Press enter to add. To add a new effect below tab to the add button, shift and space, and repeat previous steps. To remove an effect, locate the list of added plugins with the tab key, cursor up or down until you're on the plugin you want to remove and then tab to remove, and shift Space Reaeq is a good EQ plugin. To access any plugin parameters that are automatable, press shift P. Hope this helps and is typed OK. I'm brailling on the IPhone touch screen, so hopefully I've not made too many typos..

        Guys,

        Oh my God this is incredible!  I am so excited to say, I'm gonna work tonight on my very first Reaper project.  Granted, it's not gonna be anything real fancy.  It's just gonna be a karaoke track that I'm gonna be singing on top of.

        Anyway, here are my questions.

        1.  Inevitably, I'm gonna want to process my vocal track a little bit to clean it up.  How easy is it, and what are the exact steps to put a little bit of reverb on my vocal track?  I don't need much.  I neither want a delay.  I literally want a reverb.  Nothing willy milly.  For now, I don't need to learn about automating reverb with an automation pass.  I'll learn that later.  I'm probably gonna get later with Chris Bell, and pay him to work more with teaching me Reaper, as he did such a phenominal job last night.  All this however said, for now as a quick solution, I just need a small bit of verb.  I'm just looking for a quick down and dirty, yet sounding clean way to add a little bit of wetness to bring a little color to the vocal.

        If you're wonderring what song I'm doing, so you can get an idea of the smoothness of reverb I need, I'm gonna do 10 Thousand Angels Cried by Leann Rimes.  Yes, I have a version I can sing in a lower man's register, don't worry.  LOL!

        My second question is, I'm probably also going to want to add a little bit of EQ.  Is there a good stocked plug you all would suggest I use that comes with Reaper which would give me access to the queue frequency width, hopefully syncronisly on both sides, and would also give me the frequency selecter, and a gain control.

        Finally, How do I go back and forth between the two effects, my verb, and my EQ, if I need to retweak things.

        Chris.

  4.  Press ctrl+T to create a new track.

  5.  Type Vocal, then hit enter to rename the track.

  6.  Down arrow once to make sure I'm on the vocal track.

  7.  Press either home, or W to be sure I'm at the beginning of the song.

  8.  Press F7 to try arming the track.  This is when I'm told unarmed, and it won't let me arm it.

  Chris.
