Kenny, it never ceases to amaze me both how many tools Reaper has built-in but also how you use them to create other very useful tools. Mindblowing. Awesome job, thanks for everything!
Big part of the lesson here for me was the easy way to the plug in connector. This can be used in so many other ways. This is why I watch Kenny's vids even when I think I already know the content. Picking up tips and shortcuts for other things besides the focus of the video. Thanks for the wonderful work, Mr Mania.
Man I was thrown into the deep end, having been appointed to mix all our bands music. I had nothing but stock and stash plug-ins for a year. You have been a lifesaver!
This doesn't only look cool, but more importantly it's as good as those paid plugins, and it's right inside the reaper. Reaper always has something hidden inside and there's people like Kenny to uncover and blow my mind. Thank a ton mate.
I have been using Reaper for about 3 years now, and pretty much daily for about 1,5 years. I come back to this channel every now and then to refine my memory about somethings, whatever it may be, BUT everytime it just blows my mind about how much i still dont know about Reaper! You have saved me alot of money on plugins, cause i just know that there is a way to do that with Reaper Stock plugins!
Your timing is perfect, I was about to buy a dynamic EQ plugin! Once again Reaper blows my mind on it's stock capabilities. Thank you so much for your videos, they really help!
Kenny, you create stunning video tutorials, and when I think that your possibilities are getting smaller, you simply return with an even more spectacular video!!!
and then it makes sense to link the Sidechain EQ Frequency slider to the main EQ Frequency slider via Parameter modulation, so you don't have to adjust both and can only deal with the main EQ in selection of the frequency band
THANK YOU!!! I was on Waves thinking about getting the F6 and this video just saved me spending money on things that I dont need. Thanks Kenny, appreciate you my guy.
TDR Nova is a free and easy to use dynamic EQ. My go-to for hassle-free EQing of those pesky temporary frequencies. Does Reaper plan to release something easy and simple like this? A decent guitar distortion plugin with some modeling would be nice too (it already has some decent cabinet simulations). Love everything else about reaper. :)
Oh my goooood! Oh my goooood! That's so goood! :D :D :D Few months ago I tried Reaper and since then, I have been watching these tutorials. I was like...looks good, quite cheap, is it really good? I was thinking about buying the license but I'm very indecisive you know but after seeing THIS? I was totally mind blown and immediately bought the license. Thank you, so much! have a nice day to all af you! :-) :-)
Great stuff as usual, Kenny! You just saved me some dough. I was thinking I needed to go buy a fatbfilter or as R6 if I wanted to side chain, But then I thought… “What would Kenny do?”
Could you use this same technique for side chaining instruments to others? For example, using the low end of a kick to duck the low end of a bass in a rock mix, if so what would you do differently than is shown in this video? Great tutorial regardless!
Thank you Kenny for this and all your other videos. It is usefull, great and fun! I have a question: How could I do the same bur dynEQ the Bass based on the Kick? Thanks again for your teachings. Best regards!
Just route the kick track to the bass track, but put it in a different channel pair other than 1+2, so maybe 5+6 for this example. Open a new ReaEQ instance and set its input and output to 5+6. This EQ will now only recieve audio from the kick. From there on, just follow the video
Can a dynamic FX chain be saved like it's set up or do I have to do this manually? Btw this is so amazing. What kind of mic did you use for the guitar? I have an SM57 and want to make the most of it. Thank you for this. Cheers from sweden
Umm...surely that last high-end frequency example should have also used a band-pass like the first example rather than a peak eq? The peak eq would be boosting the sidechain and a high pass had to be added to mask lower frequencies. Wouldn't need that with a band-pass.
It's not a noob question at all. I've heard experienced audio engineers wonder the same thing. Sometimes it comes down to which one makes more sense for you. There's often more than one way to get the sound you want.
Kenny gioia is the chuck Norris for a new century! let us worship this reaper mania and his soft delicate touch that we've all heard on the spice girls
@@REAPERMania omg! what's up, Kenny?! I'm a huge fan two questions, if I may trouble you... 1. I like to do a lot of glitch type edits, but i would really like some type of scratchpad or clipboard utility so that I can hold clips 'outside' of the track while I navigate around. is there a better way to do this than a subfolder or the media xplorer? 2. I would like to have some of my tracks, like sends or VCAs separate (like with a border in the menus) from the others. I've tried messing with different views, but I they don't always do what I want it to. is there a simple way to make a break between tracks? I love you
@@REAPERMania huh I forgot it's possible to add channels in plugin UI, I just checked limit for output channels of ReaEQ is 64 (mono), I wonder how Reaper will deal with phase, will observe further later :)

@@REAPERMania Kenny, do you have a video on side chaining?
@@DontreadPimpBoy you can do a search on his channel, you'll find one for sure
Couldn't agree more!
Reaper has quickly become my sole DAW...and Kenny has become my go to source of info.
You're awesome K!!!

ou can also get Nova dynamic EQ for free, it's great
Reaper is such a humble look but extraordinary inside capability DAW! it shines because of extraordinary Reaper tutors like Kenny.
This video really opened my eyes. Thanks Kenny.
Reaper is so much more special for so many of us home studio guys, thanks to you.
Cheers, Kenny!

_Thumbs up a hundred times for this one Kenny! An awesome tip that's all around useful.
THANK YOU!!! I was on Waves thinking about getting the F6 and this video just saved me spending money on things that I dont need. Thanks Kenny, appreciate you my guy.
Fantastic. Obviously a native dynamic EQ in Reaper would be even better, but this is totally usable and totally ingenious. Thank you, Kenny.
Just amazing. Thanks for clever hints you always do!
Brilliant! Thanks Kenny. This changes how I look at creating Plugin chains in Reaper. De-esser for hihats in a snare track!
Wowza. Im gonna binge your vids soon thats for sure. This is so nifty. Amazing. Subd
So, you just saved me hundreds of dollars by not needing to purchase Fabfilter plugins. Great tutorial!
Gracias Kenny por todos tus videos, este es un increible tutorial, saludos desde Chile!
Ingenious! Excellent tip.
Best of the best tutorial! Thank you so much, it helps a lot!
Great! Can’t wait to try
Thanks for the great tip, Kenny!
Many thanks, Kenny.
simply unbelievable - thank you so much
That's a very cool trick Kenny! 😄👍

I thoughy I was crazy by doing this but thanks to Kenny now more people can be crazy too
Hi Kenny. I did learn something and I will use it. Thank you, this is brilliant! :)
“Hi, my name is Kenny Gioia...” Ok, this suffices to a great video.
This sounds great!
Very effective, the dynamic eq gives a nice groove movement, thenks :-)
Really cool!

Very useful video!
Kenny is the Law !
Tnx sir,,,greetings from philippines,,,,
This is gold!
Thanks Kenny, very helpful as always. I wish you would have used de-essing as one of your examples. :-)
That was awesome!!!
Thanks
Hi Kenny! Faithful subscriber and Reaper fan. This is a GREAT tutorial. Question - is this your preferred method of controlling unruly frequencies?
Helping me a lot!
Could you use this same technique for side chaining instruments to others? For example, using the low end of a kick to duck the low end of a bass in a rock mix, if so what would you do differently than is shown in this video?
Great tutorial regardless!
Sure. Just send the output of 3 & 4 (like in the video) to 3 & 4 on the other track and use that as the side-chain there. Thanks
Thanks for the very good tip. :)
Thanks Kenny for another brilliant tutorial. How about one on setting up golden ratio delay?
Thanks!
Thank you Kenny for this and all your other videos. It is usefull, great and fun!
I have a question: How could I do the same bur dynEQ the Bass based on the Kick?
Thanks again for your teachings. Best regards!
Just route the kick track to the bass track, but put it in a different channel pair other than 1+2, so maybe 5+6 for this example. Open a new ReaEQ instance and set its input and output to 5+6. This EQ will now only recieve audio from the kick. From there on, just follow the video
thank you again
Great idea and low cpu use
Now, all we need to know is how to make a Gullfoss EQ with Reaper stock plugins.
Bad A**!! Many thanks for that tip!
Why do you have to boost the frequencies first on the sidechain fx?, It works the same way if i want to boost certain frequency instead of cuting?
гениально
I'm an FL user. But sometimes I just get burnt out using FL all the time.
I might just enjoy Cockos Reaper while I take a break from FL Studio 🙌
Thanks
if i wanna use more bands i have to create this sidechains for more tha 3-4 channels?like 5-6 , 7-8 ... etc?
okay, not to be one of those people, but this is just another reason why reaper is the best daw
Nice, thanks :)
Mr.Kenny Is it necessary to duplicate rea eq to perform this function? Could I just use one instance of req eq instead? Why Two sir? Thx
Muito bom
Can a dynamic FX chain be saved like it's set up or do I have to do this manually? Btw this is so amazing. What kind of mic did you use for the guitar? I have an SM57 and want to make the most of it. Thank you for this. Cheers from sweden
I show at the end how it's saved as an FX Chain. I used a Brauner Valvet on that guitar. An SM57 isn't really a great acoustic guitar mic IMO.
every audio material is different so there's no escape from tweaking the FX chain preset
@@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP True. But setting up the FX Chain will get you started with the routing etc.
sure, that's a given, i thought what the OP was asking is whether they would have to every time change the settings, which they would
How exactly is using dynamic EQ like this different from using a multiband compressor?
I need Kenny to mix my demo.
Is there any relatively simple way to achieve upward compression in Reaper?
Muito bom !!! Mas prefiro usar o izotope Ozone
yeah, why use a de-esser when we have reaper, i guess. what i wonder about: why not always set the attack to 0 in cases like this one?
Umm...surely that last high-end frequency example should have also used a band-pass like the first example rather than a peak eq? The peak eq would be boosting the sidechain and a high pass had to be added to mask lower frequencies. Wouldn't need that with a band-pass.
Noob question - how is this different from using one band of a multi-band compressor?
Matt Heere you can’t adjust the slope. It’s not that precise and sounds different.
It's not a noob question at all. I've heard experienced audio engineers wonder the same thing. Sometimes it comes down to which one makes more sense for you. There's often more than one way to get the sound you want.
More precision and control. But you're right it's basically the exact same thing.

this probably can't be done with more bands simultaneously due to limited channel count and no options for sidechain channel choice?
There's not really any limited channel count on a channel. It would take 2 extra channels per band though.
@@REAPERMania huh I forgot it's possible to add channels in plugin UI, I just checked limit for output channels of ReaEQ is 64 (mono),
I wonder how Reaper will deal with phase, will observe further later :)
@@TazzSmk Should be fine.
DIY DynamicEQ
Wish you would have shown the deessing technique lol
Good tut.. but let's be honest, everything below 100-150 would get a low cut on that guitar.
Not the point. Lol.
Dude, seriously, is there ANYTHING this DAW can't do??
