Surely they're aware of the request.
So, since they have neither commented on the request nor implemented it, I think it's fair to say they refuse to do it.
Check some really old FRs, which have been implemented. You can say whatever, but that's not true.

However, this FR is 4 year old and I mentioned it even before somewhen.
FLStudio - just as a simple example - has this possibility to set FX on certain slots since very first versions, maybe from start. Other DAWs as well.

It's simply important to have some plugins at the very last fx insert, let's say like a frequency analyzer, a limiter or whatever.

It's annoying everytime you add something into fxlist to re-sort the order, over and over and over and over again.

Also here: No possibility to fix this issue with scripting

Dear Devs:
If this is not possible to implement, just write something about it!

It might be impossible due to the system of Reaper - however, the idea of adding pre-/ and post-fx slots might help out!

So from me for this FR:

+9999

Regardless of whether this becomes a feature or not, you can be 100% sure they're not going to write anything about it before that. Learn to live with it and maybe you'll get a nice surprise one day. Always been like this. I've made FR that were implemented 10 years later. Not a peep from them before that.

Certainly, making demands and accusations is unlikely to spark their interest...

Simply drag from fx browser directly to the desired position.

I'm still hopeful that this will one day come to fruition, but I've just forced myself to get used to them being offset.

Default Fx Slots

Would be really nice to have specific slots for fx chain. Hope someday it happens!

maybe as a start we could ask for a feature that defines the first and last FX in the chain. (like the great ReaSurroundPan, that makes most sense if it is last in the chain. And since there is no way of the default panner to ReaSurround, it would be great to put it at a fixed slot by default...)

That would be interesting to keep the FX dry/wet knob mapped to a midi controller.

Currently, when replacing an FX, i believe this mapping gets lost.

Try ReaLearn.

Thanks, Already using it... it works when setting the FX "by position" and the parameter "by name".

But if i want to show the "wet" knob in track controls to have it visible in the mixer, this still gets lost when replacing the FX.

Hmm, I tried it with those settings in a chain and it works fine after removing and putting any other in its place.

But yea, if you want the control in the extended mixer and not just with a MIDI controller, that won't have anything to do with ReaLearn and won't support dynamic targets like that.

Still, you could ask in the ReaLearn thread and someone might have a better idea.

+1 for this.

This video from Kenny Gioia shows the lengths that you currently have to go to to get around this limitation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1RDUFxsz0Q

He's creating entire chains of "dummy FX" and then renaming them "------" so that they give the appearance of empty slots. He's specifically choosing low-DSP FX to use as dummies they don't slow down his project.

If Kenny feels the need to do this, it must be a useful function. Why not build it in, like Logic and other major DAWs do?

This simple feature request has been around for at least 4 years now. No response.
I begin to think Reaper's programmers aren't capable of implementing it. CHALLENGE!! TRIPLE DOG DARE!! Now they HAVE to do it.

Sometimes I doubt the devs even read this stuff.
I have made a new thread with a poll. ONLY for the poll. In hopes that the devs might take notice and interest. But keep the discussion in here.

No, I didn't read this entire thread, so I don't know if this has been suggested.

MY desire is to be able to "pin" effects in certain slots. NOT that all slots are fixed.
Everything would remain as-is, except that you could pin effects and they wouldn't move. Unless all the slots above it are full and you insert another effect. Then it moves down, but still remains in the relative slot to the rest.

I have a feeling that would suit everyone just fine, ending debate on the matter. Everyone could use it as they will. Those who don't want to use fixed slots can completely ignore the feature and never notice it exists. Those of us who DO want to use it would be able to.
After all, isn't Reaper all about flexibility?

Hmmmmm ... perhaps this needs a new thread, being a pretty different idea than "all slots are fixed."

EDIT: I did indeed start a new thread/poll regarding this. I have a feeling that pinning fx will gain more traction than straight-up fixed slots.

Pin FX to certain slot - this is a brilliant idea! Satisfies both approaches IMO.

It's definitely possible because Melodyne (ARA2) is forced to be in the first slot.

i don't know the advantage of pining. I would prefer PRE and POST slots like i request in my signature ... which probably even requires less development.

+1 for pinning. How about...


Left-button mouse drag changes the slot order. (current method)
Right-button mouse drag pins to the slot.

This feature is the prerequisite for my FR to unite the sends and FX panels.

Would make so much more sense...

Also it is good to be related to 'FX Containers' as FR form another user.

Pin FX to a certain slot is a great idea (e.g. "FX: Pin selected FX to current slot").

Default Another workaround

+1 for me
Meanwhile, Is it possible to write a script that always move certain FX (detecting the FX name) at the end of the chain or any other position?

For example: I want to have Event Horizon Clipper at the end of every chain on every track. Is there a way to automatically move it down when adding a new FX?

Thanks

Out of desperation I asked Chat GPT to make me a script to keep "VST3: MMultiAnalyzer" at the end of the chain in all tracks and it did:

local lastTime = 0

function loop()
local currentTime = reaper.time_precise()

-- Only run the script if 5 seconds have elapsed
if currentTime - lastTime >= 5 then
lastTime = currentTime

-- Get the current project
local proj = reaper.EnumProjects(-1)

-- Loop through all tracks in the project
for i = 0, reaper.CountTracks(proj) - 1 do
local track = reaper.GetTrack(proj, i)

-- Loop through all track FX inserts
for j = 0, reaper.TrackFX_GetCount(track) - 1 do
local _, fxName = reaper.TrackFX_GetFXName(track, j, "")

-- Check if the FX insert is MMultiAnalyzer
if fxName == "VST3: MMultiAnalyzer" then
local numFX = reaper.TrackFX_GetCount(track)

-- Check if MMultiAnalyzer is the last FX insert
if j ~= numFX - 1 then
-- Move MMultiAnalyzer to the end of the FX chain
reaper.TrackFX_CopyToTrack(track, j, track, numFX, true)
end
end
end
end
end
reaper.defer(loop)
end

loop()

You guys remember that a +1 does absolutely nothing to advance the request, right? Making a persuasive argument OTOH...

Hmm. Some FR are pretty straigth forward. If there is not much to discuss a +1 does make the thread visible for new users and everybody get a non-scientific impression how many might find this useful.
