Default How to copy tracks compared with tape recorders

Hi there,

I have one or more tracks and an additional FX track.

What I want to have is

- one wav-file with only one of the tracks
- one wav-file with a mix of the tracks (without FX)
- at least one wav-file with the FX only.

I am confused: with multi track tape machines we used to copy a track together with external FX to a new track. But in REAPER I did not found how to copy/record one track to another, i.e. I did not understand how to root.

Could you give me hints on that ?

I would do it like this:

Attached is a track template of the above:
-- download it,
-- in Reaper, select [Options] >> "Show Reaper resources in Explorer/Finder" to open the AppData folder,
-- put it in your AppData\TrackTemplates folder

-- right-click in an empty part of the TCP area
-- select "Insert track from template" and select it
-- click somewhere to deselect all the template tracks
-- add your own audio samples to the individual tracks
-- add your own FX to the FXed track (remove ReaVerb)

---------------------------------------------
It has taken longer to write this than to do it from scratch.

^^^^
How to route:
By placing the individual tracks in the folder ("Mixed") track, they are automatically routed to that track.

To route the "Mixed" track to the "FXed" track, click the [I/O] button and you'll see the IO window. Add a new Send, selecting the destination track (which was the "FXed" track in this case".

Finally, I turned off "Master/parent send" in the "Mixed" track so that the mixed audio was not Sent to the Master track. That way, only the FXed audio goes to the Master track.

Lots more in section 2.22 of the Reaper User Guide.

You can also do stem render.

Say you have 4 tracks with wav files.

Put them into a folder.
Put on the folder track your effects.
Select your folder track and render it to a stem track.
Unmute the folder track and bypass the effects and render it again to a stem track.


For recording live:

There are 4 tracks you want to record ...and you simultaneously want to record a dry mix and a wet mix of them.

Set the 4 tracks to record-arm on, record monitoring on, and record mode to input.
Create another track.
Set it to record-arm on, record monitoring disabled, and record mode to output (NOT! latency compensated).
Also disable master/parent send of that track.
Now send your four tracks to this track.
Create another track.
Do the same as you did with the previous track and put your effects on that track.

You can now record the individual tracks, plus a dry mix and a wet mix, while you are only monitoring the first four tacks.
