Default (Noob alert) How can I route an external fx w/o feedback?

I'm outputting reaper into an external Lexicon reverb into a Yamaha digital mixer back into reaper.... how can I turn off the post fx signal send to avoid feedback? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Help without pointing and laughing at the noob doubly appreciated.

I don't think you can, if you turn that off, there is nothing going out to your external reverb. At least based on your description.

I think you need to return the reverb on another armed track.

However, there may be some FX I've not used that might act as an insert, like ReaInsert to allow you to do this. Check it out.

Okay let me think, It's been a while since I've tried to do this. Are you processing your track in stereo or mono? If it's mono, I think you can send it out on channel 2 and back in on channel 1 with no problem. Open the track's routing, uncheck master/parent send, and choose channel 2 as your audio hardware output. Then choose channel 1 as your input for the return.

Last time I tried to use stereo processing on a 2 channel interface, I got it to work by sending my outputs to the effect and then straight to my monitors instead of back into the DAW, so I could safely monitor the effect. Once I had it set the way I wanted it, I plugged it back into REAPER without monitoring the incoming track and recorded the input.

If you've got the inputs and outputs on your soundcard/interface, ReaInsert is designed for exactly what you are describing. I use it all the time to use my hardware FX with Reaper.

I haven 't had enough free time to wrestle with it since I posted this. My duct tape primitive solution was to render what I wanted processed to stereo, make a cd of it and the route it from my masterlink through the verb at 100% wet and record that, lining it up once it's in there. I had no luck at all removing feedback loop the more direct way, from reaper to fx back to reaper. I know the solution's in there somewhere, just have to wrap my head around it. Thanks for the help, guys.

Umm... isn't there a plugin that comes with reaper called "reaInsert" that's meant for external insert effects?
