Routing in REAPER Explained

A crash course on routing audio within (and between) tracks in REAPER. Reaper only has one type of track, and it can handle up to 64 track channels (lanes of audio) within each track. These lanes can be used for surround sound, sidechaining, parallel processing and routing multichannel audio in and out of VSTs.

From REAPER Blog Community Facebook group:
"Man, that is a super informative video. Great job. I consider myself pretty good at reaper but didn't really understand the more advanced routing or how to really leverage the pin-out connectors. Great job, thank you."

I have no knowledge, no experience but it is so interesting that I stayed here ;)

I use Reaper for work every single day, and even I learned some things watching this. Nicely done! Thank you.

very nicely done ---- and excellent video with fine quality in all regards.

This tutorial has cleared almost all my confusion in routing. Really, it should be watched by many people using reaper.
Thankyou so much. One new subscriber here. Love from India.

awesome. I have used REAPER for almost nine years and learned a few things. Combining stuff in this video with track folders is going to be super flexible. THANKS.

[@bertbrause]

Very good coherent tutorial. Thank you very much.

Great tutorial. I learned a lot about routing (after working with Reaper for several years). Keep up the good work.

Thanks! Glad to hear you found it useful. When I started out I watched plenty of routing videos, but I still didn't fully grasp 'track channels' until much later.

Thanks for this!!

nice... thanks

I'm not sure what's up. Every video I watch, the track boxes look a little different. I try to follow step by step, but I don't have the same buttons on my tracks as the poster. Is there a plugin you're using that shows these extra features? If so, it would be nice if that was explained, because I'm stuck right from the beginning.

How to setup multiple speakers in reaper?
I have 4 pair of speakers on my interface i need a switch between them in reaper
Please help!!

When you choose the destination channels in the routing around 17:05 onwards, do you choose '1/2' as a destination because the source was stereo, or is '1/2' what you'd choose even for a mono source? Perhaps this is something I don't understand about 'lanes' - what does '1/2' mean in this context?

I'm facing a problem trying to sidechain compressing using the Grace Sampler. When I route the Kick and the 808 in order to compress the second, the signal of the kick seems to reset the signal of the 808, and this result in the 808 changing the note I want for another. It plays the route note of the sampler every time the kick appears. I've seen you doing a tutorial of Grace. So, if you have any solution to this problem, let me know! Great job, by the way!!

Thanks for the TubeBuddy tip. Been fascinating seeing how other creators tag their shit.
