I love these tutorials. I find myself coming back to them a few times to pick up things I might have missed. Kenny does a great job. I just wish he wouldn't say anything before he turns the bypass off to show the difference before and after. If he would just say "Now, let's listen to before and after", then turn off the bypass without stopping the sound, it would make it easier to hear the more subtle changes. Otherwise, these are the best tutorials I've ever seen for REAPER by a long mile.
This is great help, another thing you can use this with is gating a snare by using triggers on the snare. The trigger records much more solid notes with no bleed, so it makes it far better at controlling a noise gate on the snare than trying to gate the snare normally. Was wondering how this was done in Reaper, so thanks for showing the chaining process!
I noticed that if you only use vst's instead of audio, you have to set "midi" to none in the send-settings of the vst track that is providing the gating trigger, to prevent sending it's midi notes to the vst instrument that is being gated ...
Thanks Kenny! I'll be trying this on an acoustic dreadnought bass that was used on a bluegrass track. It may help to duck the tail of the note and make it sound more like an upright.
Absolutely awesome Kenny, thanks for the detailed walkthrough. I used a modern Morse code tone to gate an authentic period Morse buzzer for a video project.
#PreviewFilterOutput too... Another way to listen or check the audio signal of the key auxiliary input track. Not neccesary turn off or mute the main send audio routing path of the kick or hihat channel. Reaper is cool everywhere in every feature :D
Good video I think a good video for everyone to learn from and what s lot of people would use is how to get rid of the background drums in each drum mic using a gate
How can I do this live? I'm trying to set up a system that makes a pre-recorded acapella to sound whenever I sing to the mic, to create an illusion that it is live singing.
Thanks, Kenny! I always learn a lot from your simpler tutorials like this. The Groove3 stuff was a bit out of my league, since I'm just doing voice over and audiobook narration work right now. I really get a ton of usefull info from the Kenny Mania stuff. I'm wondering if I do this same thing, but invert it, if it will bring up a clean room noise channel I have only when the gate on the primary vox track gate closes. I came up with a solution using ReaComp because I couldn't get it to work right with the gate,, but it seems like this could be better if I do it right. What I want is for the clean room gate to open and close in the exact opposite way the gate on the narration is behaving so there is no duplication of room noise. Does that make sense? Suggestions?
This is awesome! I have a quesion Kenny. This got me thinking. Is there some way I could have a sidechain signal literally control the amplitude of of the other track? so for example, say there is a clean guitar track and a distorted guitar track, is there a way the clean guitar track could control the amplitude of the distorted guitar track? (In reaper or otherwise)

This is a great idea. Thanks
Hey Kenny! You can drag and drop the send into the FX, not to a track. It'll create 3/4 ch. send. Try it out!!!

Reaper has and audio to midi drum trigger stock plug in

Very late, but that's brilliant!
Fantastic! Thank you for your great lessons!
You are the best! Thank you very much Kenny.
Thanks!

honestly, my jaw just hit the floor, I'm dumbfounded

Thanks for video!
Thank you for this tutorial
This exact technique is used in Nine Inch Nails's album "Fragile".
how can you use side chaining to gate frequencies on a tom track?
Can I turn the kick fader all the way down so the kick can't be heard in the master mix and still maintain the guitar side chain effect?
Ah shit I have it now! This is so awesome!
kENNY GRAZIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think reaper's stock plugins are enough for hard side chain
Thanks...
I tried this and it amplified the kick notes ,not gate them,I followed your guide to the letter.
I had to use the “invert gate,duck” function”,weird.
Do you use this channel to practice your Christopher Walken impersonation?
Folder? Smh who are u
