This is REAPER 6 - Folders (9/15)

[@JoelCarbonellGonell]

As a drummer my feelings got hurt when he didn't put the drums in to the "instrument" folder lol hahaha

[@IsmaelAngelus]

As a bass player I understand your pain 😂

[@by3176]

That’s just because drums are so badass and important that they’re in a category all their own 😎🤙

[@ling6701]

This daw looks very promising so far. Just going to finish this "This is Reaper 6" playlist and will buy it, because the price is so cool, and it seems more thoughtful than other daws.

These videos are amazingly instructional-and somehow also very relaxing

Thanks Kenny. I've seen countless hours of training videos in my life and yours are hands down the best. I've learned tons from your videos.

Was anyone else really disappointed when Kenny didn't play anything off the last project? It sounded so interesting with all the tracks

Thanks Kenny always appreciated :)

Really helpful channel but I can't help but hear Christopher Walken's voice when Kenny speaks. Suddenly the channel becomes "Reaper Tips with Christopher Walken"! LOL

[@jcolpean]

I realized this also starting in video 2...and each video since then I keep thinking Kenny is going to give me a watch that he got from my Dad in the war.

What's the main advantage of using track folders instead of track grouping, when mixing?

[@alpercizmeci4039]

Thanks for the tutorial. It was very helpful

[@musaire]

I'm more interested in how does Reaper process the sound of the child tracks - does it add/mix it together exactly the same as for bus, using the same math? I'm asking this because I don't know where to put my airwindows channel and bus plugins...

[@GuilleTrejo]

In a bus, you send a duplicate of the signal. In a folder, you just send all the child tracks to a parent track, but there's no "duplication".

[@TonyPelosi-music]

A perfect tutorial

[@leodreim]

If you put a track in a folder and keep the master send active, are we sendind our signal to the master twice?

[@jasonwright4144]

Man this is so good. I've been using Reaper for a year now as my first and only experience with a daw, and never knew you could utilize it in this way, which makes SO much sense wow. Quick question: Is there any difference between busses and folders in Reaper?

[@jflory0207]

I was wondering if there a way in the mixer to show let's say folders only for 3 but one folder like drums see all the individual tracks even if they are in a folder

[@LotGamer76]

this hurts the only brains that i got

[@davesdream]

So, what's the difference between using a Folder o create a Buss, if you can achieve the same thing? Right? Anyway. This series is opening my mind on how many things you can do with Reaper.

[@korpze206]

I have the same question. Folders can't achieve parallel processing but organize better idk

[@jaytee5018]

Maybe late with this answer. If you need to parallel process use a bus. If you want to affect multiple tracks at the same time without duplicating signal use a folder.

[@jaytee5018]

You can do the same with a bus but you will have to disable tracks from the master. Convenience with faster workflow to use a 📂

[@Mojokiss]

i feel like this is when i get professional

[@dvdpz89]

Which theme were you using here?

[@plummetplum]

What theme is that, I like the dark grey behind the items in the arrange view? Thanks

[@billfox3761]

Hi Kenny. When I right-click below an indented track in the mixer, I get a totally different menu starting with various insert operations. I have v6.47 and don't know how to get the menu that you show in order to show only folder tracks. Am I doing something wrong?

[@smoidysound1469]

Lets say you have a bunch of tracks in a folder and you have effects sends on those individual child tracks. When you lower the parent track volume, the effect sends stay the same volume level. How do you make it so that the parent track lowers everything including the effect send volume from individual child tracks?

[@dangdrjay3011]

Route the sends to the parent and it will act as bus for the effects (sends) only

[@martincaz7772]

Nice one, hey, but how can I remove just one track from a folder ? I've tried dragging it and righ-click menu but don't see the option like "remove track from folder" :((

[@Artek604]

Why isn't "Route" icon updated with sends & receives when Folder is created?

[@Eric-dd8bk]

Coming from Cakewalk. So the whole signal of the child tracks are all sent to the folder, then to the master track? Or are folders still parallel processing with a non parallel level control? Thank you. Your videos are a great help.

[@Gumpa2]

Well, what do I do if my version of REaper doesnt have that folder button? EDIT: oh, I found it, it was messed up due to my 4K screen and on the right hand side.

[@mollayt]

Ciao Kenny i can't find a way to collapse/expand folder in the MCP: Can you help me?

[@ulisserigamonti3172]

is it possible to hide all the tracks when I open a folder track? I mean when I open a folder track I would like to see only the childs track and the folder track as well but not all the other one in the rest of the project. it's just to be neater. Thank you :)

[@FesteringGhoul]

So when i put my guitar tracks into a folder (2 guitar tracks- double tracked guitars panned hard left and hard right) but when I put them into one folder to use as a bus for compression and eq, the track that’s panned hard right doesn’t make a sound when I solo it. The guitar track panned hard left seems to be mostly normal, although some of its audio still comes out of the left speaker it seems. But none from the guitar track panned hard right in any of the speakers, but when I bring it’s panning to the center I gradually hear the volume turn up. Why can’t I hear it when it’s panned hard right and put into a folder with another track? Any help would be much appreciated.

[@nibblrrr7124]

Huh, that's odd! I suspect that the routing on the folder track (either the whole track or one of its FX) has been messed up. Try creating a new folder track without FX, and dragging all the individual guitar tracks into that. Does that fix it? If not, does any guitar track have any active sends? (You don't need a send to the parent folder!) If that did fix it, try copying over the folder FX one by one. If one of them causes the problem again, inspect its routing matrix (click the button on top that says "X in Y out" or something similar, X & Y being numbers) and make sure all the blocks on the diagonal are black (active), and no others are. What you describe really shouldn't happen unless you accidentally messed with the routing manually. Hope that helps.

[@abhidmusic7819]

how we can add fx send return buss along with this folders setting and do we need to disable master send on tracks?

I don't think you can, its there be default to show the contents of the filter, i don't think it does anything tho

[@rautshsale1948]

i think it's a bit annoying that there is no way to simply fold and unfold a folder on mixer window. it's either all the child tracks, or none. really do find this confusing tbh

[@somebodyelseuk]

Yeah, this used to be possible. I've been using the v3 skin since... well, version 3. You can/always could collapse individual mixer folders. Recently, trying the default v6 skin, can't do it, it seems... Maybe there's an action for it? EDIT: Right click empty space in the MCP, about halfway down the menu, there's the option to add a button.

[@caseylockwood5512]

Is there any way to make the audio being sent to the master folder visible? I hate how it looks when everything is collapsed and all of the audio looks like its invisible...

[@AndresS40]

Thanks Kenny. What's the difference between folder tracks and bus tracks?

[@Artek604]

Other than the visual aspect (indentation) I *think* Folder tracks always act as a bus and tracks within it do not send signal to the Master and go to Folder post-fader, whereas with Bus track you have much more freedom regarding the routing destinations and place in the chain where signal is tapped.

[@AndresS40]
