routing question
Hi Anyone,
I am slowly getting better and I am able to hear what I don't like about my mixes and how muddy they are. Lots of fixes/ learning curves apply to improve this, I know.
One thing I had been doing is using sweetening/ time effects (reverb etc) within the primary instrument or vocal tracks. I am now ready to begin to put all effects on secondary channels and blend them in.
Is it as simple as having a track 1 that I want to add reverb too, putting the reverb on track 2, and then using the send function to send/blen the signal from track 2 back to track 1?
Thanks to anyone who can help a newbie without the lash
LUUUUUUUUke

Yeah, its that easy. Drag the io from track 1 to 2 and the send is created.

Thanks Coachz. I know what i/o is or so I thought. What does it mean to drag it?

First of all, nothing is going "back" from Track 2 to Track 1. You send from 1 (the original track) to 2 (the reverb track) and then both of them generally send to some parent or bus or whatever where they are mixed together. By default, they will just both pass up to the Master. The point being, it's not any kind of round trip from 1>2>1. That would cause feedback, and Reaper won't let it happen unless you check the box in Project Settings, which you don't normally need or want to do.

Literally left-click and hold on the I/O button on the send track, drag to anywhere on the receive track, and let go of the button. You can also drag from the area in the MCP where sends are displayed and accomplish the same thing.

Thank you ashcat. I understood you I think, as you were quite clear. What if I am not sending anything to master buss, and instead, my original intention was to send the instrument on track 1 through a stereo or mono hardware output for summing? (I think I was just very clear, but I can explain more if I was not).
Also, I realize otb I have other options perhaps but I am only summing out there, so my faders for each channel are ITB.

Well, I guess my point was that the reverb track is itself a separate track that needs to be mixed with everything else one way or the other. You'd basically have to send it out to your hardware also.
