    This looks useful. Personally I would just create an extra 'master' channel (I usually call it 'submaster') that is the parent to all other tracks. So then this submaster track can take over the role of the master, yet have all the capabilities of a normal track.

      same here. much easier and can also have it´s own fx and automation pre-master

      there have been times I've done this, and wound up adding more tracks forgetting to route through the submaster. That's a real pain remembering to add a send to every track.

      @@TheREAPERBlog Add a send? Every track, except for the submaster, is a child track - no send necessary.

      @@matthijshebly I do that too all the time :) And it's easy to spot a track that isn't a child-track, if you add a new track late in the process, because child-tracks indent very clearly relative to the parent.
      Shift-click and select all the tracks you want to turn into children-tracks, and then simply drag them under the parent (And individual sends/receives between tracks remain intact even when they become children-tracks, or moved around in different order. And you can send from non-child track to child-track if you need to. Very flexible Reaper system :) )

      Can you please clarify with you guys, do you just add the “premaster” track with sends to it, or a folder in which all the tracks of the project are nested?

    Thanks for showing this, but curious - isn't the kick itself also being compressed by its own sidechain signal in this setup - given that it too is going through the Master track?

      Actually a good point, but you'd be adjusting your compressor until it sounds right so I don't think it is a problem.

    this works but I don't think you can disable the audio from the side-chain track doing it this way to the master - I always have a dedicated (silent) side-chain track for pumping so I can use a track other than the main kick in case I change the main kick levels etc. So, I would go with creating a submaster track, and piping all the audio tracks through it, then send 3-4 of the dedicated side-chain to a compressor on that track.

      same thing. You can mute the audio item, or bypass the plugin to kill the send. I've personally never liked routing through submaster. reminds me of mixing in pro tools lol

    interesting...but the only thing that would be useful for me would be using the mic triggering a sidechain to duck the sound like I do at the moment in OBS

    Oh my gosh I have always been afraid of spooky relativistic effects from doing this! Thanks! I think!
