I prefer to bypass FX in automation using Wet mix envelope. I found that, depending on FX, simple bypass may produce clicks or pops, while the Wet may be set to change from 0 to 100 (or vice versa) over 10 samples or so, and that eliminates any clicking.
@@XscrewdriverX sorry, let me know if this explains, is it possible to use one track as sidechain and apply on multi fx to change wet 0 to 100, do you have video to show how to do it, thanks
@@ThePilate30 Don't give me that much credit. I normally zoom in by using my trackpad and using two fingers. It's fast but it's very sloppy. Fine for me. Terrible for videos. So in the video, I use the + and - keys. They're slower but they're perfect as I keep the center in line with my cursor. Then I speed up the video in editing. So what you're seeing is not 100% accurate.
@@REAPERMania nice! Thanks for the explanation, now I don't feel too bad about my work flow. Keep up the great work, it's invaluable to people like myself.
Silly question time, with the item method you get (or can have) a crossfade as the effects switch thus no glitches, if you use the automation method does bypass always switch on a zero crossing or do you get glitches?
That is the benefit of the earlier method. You can crossfade effects. Really cool for EQ things if you want it to happen very slowly. You can get glitches the other way but you can usually find a place where you won't notice. Or else you can automate the Wet/Dry knob instead.
Hi Kenny! I have a midi pedal that I would like to use to move between tracks. My tracks are presents from my favorite VSTs, like 18 tracks. How can I use the pedal to move like in a bank present of a multi-effect pedal? Thanks
Is there also a way to automate putting fx into offline mode ? Im usually at 96 or 128 samples latency and it's a fight to not to get any issues even with a decent cpu so I have a macro to quick offline and online entire tracks but automating it for the parts where it's needed would be even cooler.
Is there a way to automate multiple parameters with one automation track? It would be nice to literally control all three bypasses (or wet/dry) with a single automation lane.
How can I bypass the first slot plugins on multiple tracks simultaneously? Specifically, I have ten tracks, and each track has a different type of saturation plugin in the first slot. I'm looking for a way to bypass all these first-slot plugins at once, regardless of them being different plugins. 🙏🏿
Thanks for all the tutorials, Kenny. I'll take this to the Cockos forum, but I'm dropping it here too because I'm on YT more often: *Where in Reaper do I disable certain VSTs for good??* As of last week I'm having a nightmare of a time in Win7/64 because iLok is no longer supported. The old software is crashing my projects as it fails to validate authorization, and any and all patches/updates pursued have not improved my situation any. All of my Softube, Soundtoys and Sonnox are borked and causing Reaper to hang. so, again..._Where in Reaper do I disable certain VSTs for good???_ I attempted a re-scan in Preferences/VST tab and it spent 1/2 an hour going through each VST and "terminating" them individually...but it hasn't helped stop Reaper from getting stuck/hanging as it searches for Sonnox (an instance of Inflator is trying to load into a session I'd last saved a month ago) validation through iLok!
yes, It's that easy! But when I reopen the project reaper will ignore the automations. Gotta click READ -> "show all active track envelopes" -> "arm all tracks envelopes" -> "hide all track envelopes" every time for each channel, this is becoming a nightmare cause in Ableton is SO easy! Any idea why is Reaper ignoring the envelopes?

Great tip.
That I also do. Fixes the clicking thing
Can create a video on how to sidechain wet 0 to 100
@@sunreactor6535 not sure I understand the question, but in Reaper you can create a wet/dry envelope for any plugin and just draw the automation

and just like that, i knew a bit more, thanks kenny
Thanks for this Kenny. You once again have made my editing life so much easier and given me another tool in my audio toolbox. You're the best!
Thanks for everything you do Kenny!
I remember when I first found this long ago. I was so happy.
This is very useful...more control and colour in the mix. Kenny, you are a goldmine of Reaper information.
Gonna try this out on a live delay. Great content, as always!
Thank you Kenny! Your sage advice and tutorials are always so informative and helpful!!
Great video, always informative, thanks Kenny.
Kenny you are the best!!! Thank you!
OMG you read my mind. I was trying to figure out how to do this!!!!! Kenny you rock!!!!!!!
Thanks Kenny 🍻🥇
Cheers Kenny!
AWESOME! Now I can add flanger to certain parts on my guitar tracks without fumbling for buttons 👍
Thanks for all you do,you're awesome!
Good, as always.
Excellent work, I'm still amazed you can easily identify your beats and bars so easily without grid lines
You know you can turn them on. Right?
@@REAPERMania yes of course, I think I'm just more impressed when you zoom in and your mouse cursor is dead on, I may just be too sloppy with mine

I would just freeze the tracks.

Yes. Just link the parameters using parameter modulation/MIDI link. th-cam.com/video/l8EcSniMiDE/w-d-xo.html

where can I find the song?
Did you mix this song?
No.
is there a way to bypass track insert fx ?
