Wow, the ability to run it un parallel with other FX is such a powerful thing! I really did not regret taking the time to learn Reaper. I am now confident that I can now leave Logic and use this powerful DAW as my main.
Just wow! This basically moves all this parallel routing, side chaining and adding FX tracks to the FX section, just without tracks. Damn! This really tidies up the trackspace. Great feature! Today I finally purchased a licence after using it for free much too long, sorry for that. Such a great developer has to be supported!
Thanks as always Kenny it would be great if you could add like 7+ to your thumbnails when the videos are covering a new version feature, it would just make it easier to identify when you are first covering a new version feature for the first time 💯👍
great examples. However the script "Paranormal FX Router" made by Sexan on Cockos forum, makes these exact operations in a more 2023ish and ergonomic way. It's what all of us expected to have as container, because it's damn intuitive and clear at glance (ergonomy). I already use it and I hope one day it will be native.
Tried to read about it in the forum finally gave up and just waited for this video from Kenny.😂 I think the ability to automate the container looks interesting.
The FX containers is so fun. I just experimenting with this today and it's amazing for workflow and track condensing. I no longer have to do multiple tracks blended together for parallel fx that send to one or more fx at the end (the combined signal). i'm currently using it for blending guitar cabinet tones, with the time adjustment delay JS plugin I can delay one of the IR's by a few samples to make the phase alignment better. No external plugins needed, just 2 or more instances of ReaVerb with the IR's loaded. Fantastic!! REAPER continues to be the best DAW out there. And happy Holidays :)
This shit here saves me at least one extra channel on the mixer based on the complexity of the tone. Hell...just thinking about it, I probably don't even have to sub things and just do all the FX processing on the FX section. Fuck. I gotta try this. Thanks Kenny and Reaper. Reaper 4 lyfe.
Cool enough I guess. Though I don’t see the difference between this and sending to an FX track. And to me, I can see a lot better what is going on using a track with the parallel processing on it rather than embedded in the FX container. Am I missing something?
Right. If it was another DAW may be it would be useful, but why in Reaper? In fact I expected many improvements in some other areas that I guess will never come... Meanwhile I had to switch to a different DAW because every time I wanted to tweak the layout to make Reaper "my own" it ended up showing bugs everywhere. But the track nesting in Reaper, no matter Audio or Midi is one of Reaper's strengths, no need for this and much clearer the other way. For sure better than using Buses, but with nested tracks? Why? I just cannot use Reaper due to bugs. I spend more time clicking everywhere else in Reaper than the time I would save by the good Reaper features. It's a pity because my License is still payed and up to date, but unused.
I have to agree as well. I don't see myself using this. You can just put all the parallel effects on a sperate track, nest it, and then you have the exact same effect but much more visually clear and with a fader for mixing instead of the tiny knob. I would even argue that it's faster to set it up that way.
The difference is organisation and screen real estate. You might not like it this way but many of us would like access to several fx chains from within the source track, it makes it easier to track (pun intended)
It's already super cool that Reacomp has a wet/dry for easy parallel compression, but this new addition of a container to parallel process a whole chain is just beautiful. I wonder what effect PDC has in this situation... hmmm. Time to investigate!
Awesome features! I need to get used to it I guess cause I have a certain workflow. I will consider it using. I also love the new Reaper 7 Default theme!
i guess i will open my dusty creaky wallet for the new license . i knew it was coming but time has flown . the price is still "not so much" for what you get imo . thanks Kenny for all you do .
it's not so much until you go to pay and realize they omitted telling you how big taxes are added to that initial amount... I should have refused lol, because I cannot use it, it's buggy, and I can't make it my own, nor anybody else's. It's great, no doubt, but if you start tweaking it a bit, it's doom
I hope later they add macro knobs and stuff, catching up with Bitwig and Ableton's racks and modulators. To have a single automatable knob which maps to more than one parameter would be great, and would have a lot of scope. For example so that a full turn of a knob maps a parameter between say 0.1 and 0.2. Perhaps even have two macros, one for large scale changes, and one for fine tuning the same parameter. (Imagine being to use a JSFX like script to combine the values of some macro knobs, and then generate parameter changes.) I dream of this stuff a lot.
I was searching for something like that, and as almost always, there is a workaround for that, a simple jsfx with knobs just for use as a macro controller, but the main idea is that, you can use param ->param modulation/midi link -> link from midi or fx parameter to work as a macro control here(just remove spaces) https ://w ww. youtube .com /watch? v=kqXRrMaOSMs
@@lunakamusic1315 Such mappings are not part of the containers. What Ableton Racks/Groups provide is macros that control the contents of the group, and which are saved and loaded as part of the group/container.
Tips in this video helped me bring life into a bass that sounded too compressed and boxy. I ran 2 containers in parallel.. Container 1 has an EQ with a high pass filter cutting everything below 100Hz/24dB slope. I also used an Expander to bring back some of the dynamics. And another EQ cutting 310Hz and boosting 2kHz. Container 2 has the same EQ (lo pass filter) cutting everything above 100Hz/24dB slope, and a Compressor for taming the low end. Now the bass sounds more rounder, fuller, and sits so much better in the mix. Thank you!🙏🏾
This is great!!.....question i have is how would i set the container to pre fader? If imyteying to parallel compress a vocal aux would i need to do it to the unprocessed signal?
Hey, in case you haven't got the answer yet - to the left of channels routing in FX window is a button Param - it's a drop-down that lets you select almost any control of a plugin that you can change or modulate. Dynamic trigger or adding modulations are the options there. Sorry I am not a heavy user of this but you can deff find more stuff on parameter modulation. Good luck.
deeper but not really better when you can already use nested tracks for that purpose... it's something that newbies may think they cannot live without it while people who knows Reaper already know they didn't need that feature but bugs fixed instead
Hello there! I am trying to replicate the fx chain you have with the filter and modulation, round about 8:26 in the video. I am blind, and not sure if the details of how the entire fx chain looks like, is detailed on screen.. Do you have presets or a tutorial on how to replicate this sudo Leslie modulation? I do not say sudo to discount the effect, but because of its slow oscillation, which resembles very much to what I'm looking for. Typical Leslie emulations I've come across are much faster, with many artefacts for more genuine sounding audio. I'm looking for what you have on the video. :) Thanks!
Really shoudn't need to have a Plugin inserted before Parallel ones to make that feature work, not sure why Reaper devs did that, maybe im missing something. Seems bit strange to have to put plugin in as a dummy fx to do the parallel thing. Other then that, both new features are great additions.
This was the first thing I thought - but then when trying it, I realized that changing the volume (wet dial) of the 'Dummy' FX changes the volume of the dry input signal you hear in the mix independent of the volume of the parallel FX chain / container. So you have even more control of the sound.
Kenny, can any of the dry/wet controls be controlled by a vac? I could have a set of vcas that control the wet/dry mix to taste as needed through out a performance. I suspect they could also be automated.
What if you want to run an electric guitar chain (amp sim, eq, etc.) through two different speaker IRs to simulate a speaker cabinet with two different kinds of speakers that are each mic'd separately? So you want each IR loader to receive the signal previous to it in parallel (i.e., you don't want the first speaker IR to then run through the second speaker IR). Then, after the IRs, you want the two parallel IR signals to get merged back together on the way out to the master fader. Is that possible to do?
What would be cool is if they added a checkbox in the fx manager for oversampling specific fx. I know you can suggest something good to them. I recently when down the aliasing rabbit hole and found oversampling drastically improves my mix with specific plugins but unfortunately the workflow of the right clicking on the fx is not only a pain, but going back to a mix with oversampling turned on too many times for the cpu requires going back and undoing all of it. A single oversampling manager "fx docker" or something would be amazing. I know they have the fx manager but it still requires a lot of right clicks and is completely unintuitive as far as which plugins are being oversampled.
Nice. I was using Blue Cat’s PatchWork but this will make it much easier. Do the plugins going into the container have to be one after the other or can they be out of order. fo example plugin 1 is in container 2 is original path and 3 is in the same container as plugin 1?
Can someone point me in the right direction for creating that 'Filter Mod' chain that Sir Kenneth uses from 8:26 onwards? Thanks. P.S Great video as always my man!

This is a game changer much like waves audio's StudioRack multiband functionality. If you have opportunity to use stock plugins to deal with bands of frequencies, you can achieve almost anything. No need for fancy plugins. Just imagine you could add a delay to a certain frequency band while you add pitch shift to another band! Then blend all this with the original signal! We are in 2023 and nobody had ever thought about this before! It's a shame! All they want is to sell to us their fancy multiband processors!!!!
Don't understand why, but running fx in parallel just doesn't work for me. As soon as I 'run fx in parallel...' the effect goes silent and yes, I do have the dry / wet adjusted properly EDIT: in case anyone has the same issue, it doesn't work on midi tracks, but you can put the midi track in an audio parent and it works on the parent. Perhaps there's a JS plug or something that might fix this, but this workaround is ok for now EDIT 2: To use this is an single midi track, you need a plugin after the instrument to convert the stream to audio before your parallel fx / containers, reaeq or JS volume seem to work and you just use the dry wet on that inbetween plugin as the volume of your source material. Pretty straightforward in the end
if I could have a consistent and clean layout or a few of them to switch back and forth, but no, no, no, bugs ate me, and I had to buy one more DAW license
Honestly? I am not sure, if I like this - I see some cool improvements overall, but in my opinion this isn't onve of them. In a dense mix this is becoming very counter-intuitive, and messy pretty fast! It's visually not very pleasant or easy to grasp - and if one's really honest, it act's like a subbus, disguised as FX.
@@victorsantafeatta Fair enough, though from a economic point of view, these things take up "real estate" in a programs code, and tend to clutter things. This always comes with some nasty complications along the way over time. The UI for for it seems all over the place, and with a lot of tracks with FX containers, things will get messy pretty fast. But if that's one's cup of tea - no problem with that.
apply track fx for mono output or freeze tracks to mono does that🤔 but the question is why have specific tracks(mono, midi, stereo, return etc), when we already can put whatever we want (audio, midi, mono, stereo, images, video) on any track???
@@Dudderlyful no. This is how you send the same to two channels. Phantom center stereo is Not mono. Think about hardware. Reainsert and now your width 0 thing actually differs l and r as 50:50 parallel mix.
Why do you use EQ to split the signal by frequency, when you've said previously to use splitters instead of EQ to avoid phasing problems? (See : "Splitting Bass for FX Processing" ua-cam.com/video/U_TshbcD0LI/v-deo.html) ? Can you use splitters for this new workflow? I tired but couldn't get it to work... but I'm a n00b so... Thanks do much for your work. I'd be lost w/o you.

Thanks for your video, it's really helping to comprehend the new features
As always writing a comment to support the channel
Reaper is doing great things. I have been hopping for this feature.
Cool update.
But couldn't we already have done something similar by adjusting the track channels in/outs and using a joiner?

You have to do the same thing when you set up a parallel chain in Waves Studio Rack as well..

Wow. Great video Kenny and great new v7 feature. Does this mean that bussing to separate tracks may now be a thing of the past for many jobs?
I think so! each container is like its own track FX chain, which can have its own send effect and effect processing.
finally we have parallel processing!
Thnx Kenny 🎼💙😉👍🏽
