I thought the same, but surely Kenny did it that way for a more visual explanation that you can implement even with a diferent compressor with no built-in filters. And if you want or need to cut the mid frequencies then you will use an Eq.
@@Kikokaoss that was my take away as well. If all you want or need to do is high pass the low end, then you could just use those controls on ReaComp. However if you are cutting bands and doing subtractive EQ that should go before compression, and if you are boosting that should go after. Not only is this an astute observation, I agree with it 100%!
@@Kikokaoss Yes but the disadvantage of using an eq instead of the built-in highpass/lowpass is that the eq will get rid of those frequencies for good. On the other hand, the highpass and lowpass function in reacomp will just make the compressor ignore those frequencies and compress the whole signal as one(it won't roll off those frequencies, it'll just ignore them so they don't trigger the compressor).
@@eegoal That's the beauty and flexibility of the tools you have at your disposal. If you need to cut frequencies do It with an eq before the compressor. If you need to filter the signal in order to not affect the compression negatively and don't want/need cut frequencies then use the built-in filters, and then you can use an eq after compression too for boosting frequencies.
I've been watching your videos for a few months now, since I got Reaper. They are super helpful. I'm trying to remaster some old songs from the 80's and 90's that I digitized about 15 years ago.
Once more very well explained, thank you! Your great audio engineering experience combined with perfect Reaper knowledge make this series a superduper learning source for me! 🤩
Good tutorial. An alternative route, if you don't really want to apply EQ is to use multi-band compression and set higher threshold for the lower frequencies.
But I dont understand something wht arent there ads on Reaper Mania they could help support the good and great work.....I mean....30 seconds ads doesnt spoil anything if it helps the Chanel......
Hey Kenny, thank you so much for videos. They are what helped me get into using Reaper! Also, could you make a video about Reaper’s “video processor” plugin? I noticed reaper has a new built-in plugin titled “video processor,” but I have no idea how to use it. Can you use it to edit videos, or does it do something else? If you don’t want to make a video about this, could you just try to at least answer my question with a reply? Thanks so much!
Kenny, thanks man. This is coming from a beginner, you are a great teacher.
Very useful tips. First eq for cutting, and the second for boosting if needed.
I’m a metal vocalist so I’m glad I found this video I’m going to play around with these settings. Thank you so much reaper is the best!
Thanks so much. Great tutorial.
This is a great, simple explanation to a question I see on forums and groups all the time, excellent stuff!
You can also use the high pass in reacomp not to trigger the compressor

Always giving me all it takes to use reaper.

Super helpful. Thank you.
Great to have always an ideas specially for us beginners here..Love it Kenny. Thanks always..
Excellent tutorial. Thank you Kenny.
a Master teacher of Signal Processing
Strong Christopher Walken vibes

Thanks Kenny, you're vids are invaluable to me!!
Very helpful, thanks, Kenny. Always learning from your channel.
Thanks Kenny :-)

Super explanation, thank you
Love these compression tips - thanks Kenny
Thank you my friend, my guitar tone was terrible an this helped me a lot! God bless you!
Man, I needed that! Great video.
... simple and to the point !!! 5 thumbs UP !
Great explanation 👌 Thanks for another great video
Theres always something good from kenny.
Thank you, Sir
God damn you're skilled at clearly explaining anything.

I'm guessing it's because he's not officially endorsed by reaper and can't make profit off of tutorials on software he doesn't own.
Make a video about when to and how to use RMS and when to use peak in reacomp
Thanks
Love you senpai

tons of videos already available on that subject on ReaperMania and TheReaperblog TH-cam channels
useful info
Great . What about reverb? I put it at the end?
never been this early!
not much info out there regarding order!! thanks!!!!!
How you turn on the high pass filter.?
may i know what is the best plug ins for acoustic tia
Brilly
Why is it that VST Virgin Choir no longer opens in Reaper?
how about sends? can you set effect order there?
