I am new to recording, I started using Reaper in my home studio about 6 months ago and bought a copy of the software after looking at various DAW's. Kenny, you have been an absolute life save!!! I have learned so much by following your videos. From the real basics to the more complex things. It's obvious you have so much experience and know what you are talking about. Thanks for posting such useful videos. You're a star!
Imo, these tutorials from Kenny are superb. I really appreciate the direct way he deals with the information, there is no filler -waffle at all, it's straight to it.. Also, he demonstrates everything so clearly. The timing is very good, not rushed or keeping you hanging around. Great delivery. Thank you for these tutorials.
It's also worth trying a sidechain compressor or inverted gate on the delay that's keyed from the actual vocal track. Then the delayed signal will automatically be reduced or silenced during the vocal, hence only audible between vocal lines, without any send or mute automation.
Thats cool, but i think that is for a more subtle fx, if you do that with obvious delaytrhrows it might work at some places but eventually you will have to automate by hand, so better getting it how you want it in the first place
Another fantastic lesson! Thank you Gioia. You go straight to the point. That's what I needed! I now have full control of the Delay. Thank you and thank you. Roberto.
Very brilliant Kenny! You just answer the question that I always wonder to create such delay. As I still have a bad usage of virtual space like delay, echo, and reverb in my mix . Hope you discover them much more in the future!
Thank you so much. This technique has been on my mind for quite awhile. Thank you for the excellent tutorial once again. So much to learn but you make the learning fun & memorable! Great work!
I'd rather do it the live digital mixing console way : - create a send that starts at -inf - adjust delay level so that it sounds right when send fader is at 0dB - when doing a throw : by default the value is -inf, and you throw up to 0dB to send to delay, and it goes back to -inf when you release (if in touch mode)
We could do that automation moves with the MUTE button, as well, right? I know rhat MUTE is a very "hardcore" way to open and close the send signal, but I think that we could automate it just like you did with the VOLUME fader... Am I wrong?
Kenny: here's how you do a cool thing Me: wow, fantastic. I'm doing that Kenny: here's another way you do a cool thing Me: wow, there's TWO ways to do a cool thing Kenny: hold my beer...
Hi, as always great video. Why did you lower the send volume. I am a little shaky on gain staging, especially as it relates to how hard it hits the plugin. but it seems like plugins react differntly to different signal levels. is that the case here. ty
"Why did you lower the send volume" So that the delay didn't sound too loud in the mix. He could have also turned down the delay fx volume itself, or add a trim plugin on that delay channel.
Abletons gui is arguably worse, they got they're plugins in a box in the bottom, not vector resizable like Reapers where you can move em around, in fact you can't move nothing around in Ableton at all and they're menu system is the worse while Reaper got arguably the best menu system which can be docked or undocked and moved around screen like everything. With that said you're right in that Ableton did do something to make they're GUI look more polished and Reaper can too. It's just a matter of getting use to looking at something.
I've learned soo much from you Kenny, thank you. I was following this tutorial when hit something. Now when I record a take, I no longer have the pop up message that promts me to pick Save All/Delete All/ etc... Anyone know how to activate this again? I would really appreciate the help.
Brad Thomas I am using a Novation SL25 Remote as a Midi controller. Is there software to save all the mapping (faders/knobs/pads) in Reape, If not is there a setting, that needs enabling? I'm able to LEARN a fader, but each time I exit Reaper then load a song, my mapping disappears and I have to start all over. I appreciate any direction or feed back. Thank you.

Dear Kenny!
you are such a special teacher!
thank you so much for the Professional knowledge
need to know how the song's story ended, don't leave us hanging
Wow, Kenny - this is fantastic and so useful. Thank you for an absolutely brilliant, clear explanation of a most pertinent application
Wow, you never cease to amaze me with your tutorials! Gotta credit Reaper as well, for making this all possible!!!
I sat through country music just to know how this works. That's saying something about how amazing these tutorials are
It's also worth trying a sidechain compressor or inverted gate on the delay that's keyed from the actual vocal track. Then the delayed signal will automatically be reduced or silenced during the vocal, hence only audible between vocal lines, without any send or mute automation.

Wayne Robinson Worth to try. Thanks!
Casper Bjerkehagen yeah Kenny's way looks more controllable.
Wayne Robinson I had actually thought of this as well! Either or, I guess
That's what I tend to do Wayne, it also makes you feel very clever when you get it right haha
First of all, Thank you so much for all your videos and help. I would still be scratching my head!!!!
Gdman man , I’m starting to sound like a real country singer with your help!!!!!!much love from mountians of California
Another fantastic lesson! Thank you Gioia. You go straight to the point. That's what I needed! I now have full control of the Delay. Thank you and thank you. Roberto.
Kenny, you are my freaking hero, dude. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Just stumbled upon this hidden gem. I love reaper!
Very brilliant Kenny! You just answer the question that I always wonder to create such delay. As I still have a bad usage of virtual space like delay, echo, and reverb in my mix . Hope you discover them much more in the future!
Another excellent video Kenny,nice vocals too.cheers
Thank you so much for all the work you do.
Thanks...exactly what I was looking for..!!

Very helpful tutorial as always,thank you Kenny
I have a Faderport. I've been using the actual Fader on the FX buss to achieve this. I think I'll try this way 🤔
We could do that automation moves with the MUTE button, as well, right? I know rhat MUTE is a very "hardcore" way to open and close the send signal, but I think that we could automate it just like you did with the VOLUME fader...
Am I wrong?
That's what he did at the beginning of the video...
super good trick with the volume automation instead of mutes! thanks
Kenny I love you man!
Kenny: here's how you do a cool thing
Me: wow, fantastic. I'm doing that
Kenny: here's another way you do a cool thing
Me: wow, there's TWO ways to do a cool thing
Kenny: hold my beer...
What is the song used in this video please?
Where can I hear this song?
how do I like it twice? Great help!!!! Thanks
they really made recording so hard its ridiculous. i miss cool edit pro
Great video and really helpful
ROUTING IS NOT ON MY VERSION V6.12C
Thank You so much. Subscribed!
Brad Thomas thanks to you, I found it.
Kenny thanks.. you came through
Thnx for another great tutorial :-D
what's the name of the band and song? Its really good.
does this work with other effects and midi drums?
is there a way to save this as a preference?
Anyone know?
The group
It's from the album 'Hell Awaits' by Slayer :)
who's the singer?
Thanks 👍👍
Hi, as always great video. Why did you lower the send volume. I am a little shaky on gain staging, especially as it relates to how hard it hits the plugin. but it seems like plugins react differntly to different signal levels. is that the case here. ty
That’s what I was thinking too.
"Why did you lower the send volume"
So that the delay didn't sound too loud in the mix.
He could have also turned down the delay fx volume itself, or add a trim plugin on that delay channel.
the only thing that stops me from switching is the GUI i tried many skins but nothing satisfied me i hope they work on the GUI more like ableton
Abletons gui is arguably worse, they got they're plugins in a box in the bottom, not vector resizable like Reapers where you can move em around, in fact you can't move nothing around in Ableton at all and they're menu system is the worse while Reaper got arguably the best menu system which can be docked or undocked and moved around screen like everything.

kenny who is singing? i love it

Kurt Hendrix that's somewhere in your preferences - maybe under takes

I'll give that a try. Thank you for the quick response.
does anybody knows how to do it but i want that "echo" to play only once?
Haha on the readelay,turn down the feedback all the way to the left.
reaper is the best better than pro - tools
