Thank you for doing an instructional video that is straight to the point as well as visually and audibly articulate. My biggest pet peeve is when I go to watch a tutorial and it’s 75% commentary and 25% instruction. Good job!!!
Myk, you are straight and to the point. Have been using Reaper for years, but your clarity in explanation is what I wish I started with. Keep up the great work.
if you havnt, try a little crispy compression on reverb sends and eq. game changer especially if you pair that with a sidechain so you only get the tails
One thing to keep in mind when pulling down the send fader is that some FX, particularly reverbs, operate better (or at least much differently) when being fed a strong signal. For that reason, I tend use the FX track fader instead of the send fader to adjust the wet/dry balance on reverb returns. For delays and all that kind of stuff it's no problem, though
Same with compression, you may find yourself fighting between the track send and the threshold to get the desired result. I typically end up adjusting both when it's all said and done
Definitely handy for delay throws and such. I do plan to go a bit deeper with some of this routing but figured this was a decent cursory glance at the concept. Gotta keep this stuff short in an effort to match my stature 😂☕🥺
I got a new one :P I created a simple 4/4 MIDI drum pattern. I added an FX REVERB like you said. It's a reversed reverb, and liked it. How can I record the output sound of the reverb track, avoiding the original drum track to create a weird sounding beat? I recorded the output but there's the original track and the reverse one. Thanks a lot!

There's not really a right/wrong answer for this, but generally speaking, you'd use a pre-fader send if you don't want the parallel track to change based on the movements of the fader on the channel being sent. A good example would be monitor mixes. If I were sending tracks to an AUX channel for a performer's in ear, I would use a prefader send to make sure that the performer is able to adjust his or her own monitor mix, and a monitor mix is not affected by what I do to the faders on the tracks that are being sent. There's nothing worse than having your eardrum shattered when someone moves a fader on the mixer.
@@LetsTalkAboutReaper I usually use post fader to send modulations (reverb, delay) and saturations or distortion. This way the amount of effect is in accordance with the amount of dry you use.
@@ZangalangaTube same, but in some instances, I prefer to have a pre-fader send and automate the send for even more control. This can be helpful if you have an effect that you feel like is just not getting enough from the track

This is a great tutorial on aux sends and parallel processing. I appreciate and like your short and concise style of teaching!
Thank you, I appreciate you watching! Never thought people would actually watch this rubbish, but I'm quite glad people are enjoying the content :)
Thank you! I've never known how to do this and you explained it perfectly!
hey man I've seen your post in r/reaper and in FB Reaper Blog Community, your videos are always interesting and straight to the point. Thank you!
thank you so much for stopping by, and i most definitely appreciate the encouragement. Glad this is helping folks!

That guitar work sounds so good that you tracked 🔥
Thank you!
I like that, Myk. Well done.
thank you!

Ahh thatns for that - been Usng Reaper qiutre a while, and I still handnt got the hang of it - Yrs, Wokestar London
Very well done tutorials. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the encouraging words, as well as the coffee!
Thanks, Myk. I like to automate the send gain sometimes, it's a shame the control is a bit hidden away.

Is the reverb track 100% wet? My best guess is that you still have some of the dry signal on the reverb track.
@@LetsTalkAboutReaper Should try that, sounds like that's the answer :) thanks!
@@LetsTalkAboutReaper It did it. Thank you so much for your time :D
thank you!
Cool cool cool very matter of fact !!
Looks like you're on an arctic expedition.. How cold is it in your house?
21° C in most of the house, but I am extremely cold natured. It's not uncommon to see me in a hoodie even in the summer.
@@LetsTalkAboutReaper more coffee is due

how to parallel processing on a single track.
think about FL studio "patcher" or Bitwig "Grid"
But do you parallel brew your coffee?

Hi, when I use pre or post send,? I
For parallel compression? For fx?
