Favorite Reaper FX?

[Mr. Paul]

Just getting started with Reaper and the list of available FX is quite daunting. Do you have any you particularly like using with vocals / acoustic guitar?

Revenge - but duplicate to auxiliary channel apply effect there and fine tune with faders.

I like a tiny amount of digital delay -almost inaudible but adds thickness to the signal.

Compressor - threshold to take about 5 to 8 db - ratio determined by listening to the track.

You Tube - Recording Revolution has some great tutorials on compression/eq, etc.

I probably use Reaper's multiband EQ more than anything else, especially as subtractive EQ.

The other thing that I use most often is reverb, but I've never been particularly excited about Reaper's offerings. I use Freeverb 2 and programmed the pre-sets to match what I like in other verbs that have a much higher CPU hit.

The other thing I use is a Mastering plugs, but those are from Terry West. They used to be free, but now have a small fee.

You can find a bit more out about those, as well as my commonly used pre-sets for Freeverb 2 on my old webpage. No photos any longer, but text is there at the internet archive site:

My vocal FX chain usually uses EQ, Compression, Delay, Reverb. Not necessarily in that order, and with varying parameters as needed/desired.

ReaEQ
ReaComp
ReaVerb - note that you need to download some convolution files (room captures) for this to work correctly. There's info in the user manual on this. 99% of the time I use the Milan Scala Opera House for things, and sometimes a plate reverb for the lead vocal.

The only stock effect I use regularly is ReaComp. I like the NY preset.

And I really enjoy the sound of the Vahalla Plate Reverb... https://valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-plate/

I Don't use Reaper

But you will find that there are basically four that are the most consistently used plugins throughout the recording world :

#1...EQ (preferably adjustable frequency selection multi band with adjustable Q)


#2...Compressor ( with adjustable ratio and attack and release times )

#3...Reverb ( with adjustable pre delay)

#4...Delay (with adjustable decay time)

Beyound those basic consistent workhorses, it starts to get pretty subjective to personal tastes and goals

Where do you download your convolution files? The link to Noisevault on the Cockos wiki is dead. Did you get some freebies, or pay for some worth having?

Sorry, just saw this. I shared mine with someone else here a while back, but deleted them from my Dropbox. I'll upload them and send you the link by PM.

Here are some outstanding ones (if they are even remotely like the presets on the M7 Bricasti hardware unit)


I would reccomend the WAV 24 bit 44.1 files or 24 bit 48k if your doing video
