![]() Now, having shortcuts to "insert to position #1, #2, etc." would probably be handy to some. Or to any other position in the list, for that matter. So you CAN insert to the top of the list without further rearranging. I just tried dragging, the new plugin is inserted before the one it is dropped on. though leaving empty FX slots between plugs would be preferred.įor the time being I'm going to create a dummy JS plug as someone suggested and create a new template that have like eight of these in a row followed by my Console emu plug on every channel - but it's ludicrous that I have to do this on a major DAW in 2017. why?!?Īt the very least, if we can't leave empty FX slots above plugins, how about we gain the ability to place new plugins inbetween existing plugins when instantiating? I could live with that. Now in Reaper if I start my mix with the Console emu plug on every channel (as I'd like to), that means that every other plugin I add during the mix will first have to be inserted after the Console emu plug and the dragged up above it. In Logic I used to have a template setup that had these plugs there from the beginning, sitting at the bottom of all the FX slots, and every plugin I added to a channel during the mix went before/above the Console emu plugin into one of the many available/empty slots above the Console emu. However, it's the first plugin I place on every channel when starting a mix. I put a console "system" emu plugin as my last plugin on every channel in my mixes. But I see no advantage at all in the fx positioning behavior as it is as opposed to other options. ![]() I always figured it had to do with how Reaper utilizes both the track slots and the FX window as visual representation and how the FX window would react to removed FX and retained slot. From a programming point of view I have no clue except what I read here, and I get it if it just can't be done. But it's one of those things that doesn't make sense from a UI point of view to have to do, especially the 30th time you've done it that night. Sure it's not the end of the world, every time a new plugin goes to the middle of the pack you have to manually move it up from the bottom. It really would be great, and an improvement, if plugins could stay in their slot no matter what happens before them, and if we could leave blank slots in a track without all the kludges that aren't quite solutions. Any solution I've tried is more work than just moving the fx to the correct slot every time. Just standard experimenting with changes in a chain, where you want to bring in a different EQ and compressor and A/B both against what you have, which you can't use Replace FX for, and the added go to the bottom, is what I come up against. I just had this discussion the other day with someone who told me "if you needed blank insert slots you're doing something wrong" /ĭummy fx work for some but not all of the results of the inserts behavior.
