Freezing Parts of an FX Chain in REAPER

[@dougsmith9679]

Just when you think you know as much as you'll ever need about Reaper, along comes Kenny with another gem! Thank you! 😊

[@gregoryvpencheff3091]

Keyy, your Reaper tutorials are simply outstanding. 95% of what I know about Reaper I learned from your videos. I can't thank you enough!

[@cedricsimonakafrozenjazz]

Thanks, I never used freeze because I hated to see my Fx disappear, I didn't know you could have the details, and do it in layers! For now I was only doing "apply fx" after having selected the first fxs I wanted to somehow freeze, then I put them offline... So, thanks again!

Incredibly useful... Deserves more views already

Thanks Kenny, I really enjoy your style of making great tutorials. Some people can't bear the pace of your speech, personally I find it to be a perfect way to teach , you go straight to the essential but also your never forget any important details. The perfect way to learn !

[@lengotin]

wow reaper is slowly but surely become the industry standard

[@serged.9369]

Cool! Thanks!

Did not know that, huge game changer for me! Wow, these clips help me out a bunch.

[@pingosimon]

Wow, this'll help a ton with Melodyne!

Yeah, and it's a lifesaver with UAD plugins. I've only got 6 cores. They go pretty fast. This feature lets me do WAY more than I could with other DAWs with my MacBook Air, UAD Apollo Twin Duo, and UAD Satellite Quad. This is why I LOVE REAPER and Mr. Gioia!

[@tatiuswolff]

Great video! I had no idea you could do that. Would have been very valuable when mixing my last album! :)

[@DreErdna]

Awesome ! What’s the difference between this and putting an FX offline?!

[@deltavistastudio124]

Offline FX are not processed. Frozen FX remain part of the sound, but don't take up processing power.

[@Nematod180]

Great tutorial and functionality but what happens if the compressor is side chained?

[@eschaton]

whatever the compressor is doing will be printed to audio, sidechain-controlled behavior included :-)

[@greenprpl3996]

this is pretty cool. thank you very much. I need help with something. When I freeze certain FX, the receives of the track are also frozen. Now, I look at my unfrozen dynamic EQ of the same track and there is no sidechain signal coming in, since it was frozen when I froze the first FX. Any thoughts?

[@greenprpl3996]

awesome. i figured it out. You are supposed to freeze the track as a multichannel, so that you "store" the signal that will act as sidechain, within inputs 3/4, 5/6, etc

[@credenza1]

A great way to save resources.

[@tbvanwagner]

Hi - I noticed that when you are freezing FX that you have to freeze them in order. Is it possible to freeze only the last plug-in in the FX chain while leaving all of the prior FX operational?

[@irascib1e]

That's impossible. You can't freeze the output of a track if the inputs aren't also frozen

[@brandonsanchezr.7383]

Reaper is driving me nuts :( How do I freeze plugins on a track without having Reaper delete my receives (sends from other tracks)? I can't find anything on the Reaper forums, is it a bug? It doesn't go away no matter how many times I keep updating it. Thanks for the help.

[@vizcainojorgito]

Can you freeze the master track Fx chain?

[@samuelj.rivard]

so useful thank you!!!!

[@Fwuzeem]

But how do you see the effects you have frozen? Ah... Good to see you can do that in the track manager

[@atamanlive]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@andreyklochok]

Thanks!

[@OrchestralMusicMidJourneyArt]

what about if freezing all FX in 1 freeze?

[@kennygioia7184]

You can do that as well.

[@OrchestralMusicMidJourneyArt]

kenny gioia I assume you freeze with last fx and click the last one right?

[@kennygioia7184]

@@OrchestralMusicMidJourneyArt There's an option to freeze the whole chain but you can also choose the last one.

duuuuuuuuuuude
