there is a little freebie ive been useing on some traks in reaper.
called freeamp.
ive been trying to use it in novel ways to experiment with different sound pictures.
for example record a synth trak in reaper then run the trak into freeamp.
then, once i'm happy i right clik over the reaper trak and hard print it.

reaper now has per item fx which lots of users wanted.
ie..isolate a clip in a trak n just apply fx to that clip.

i do a ton of lead vocal comping on songs in reap.
set a track as a folder n nest under it several vocal takes.
then apply fx to the folder trak.
there are lots of triks if one is willing to take the time.

i also urge everyone to explore the reap plug in REAXCOMP.
for different frequency bands.
apparently there is now a new synth called OLGA thats mentioned
on the reap user forums people might find interesting.

a comment was made up thread bout reap reverb.
once again its triks. n how to use stuff. mebe the right settings/impulses werent being used.
try dupeing a vocal trak n then offset the dupe by a few milliseconds in ITEM PROPERTIES,
then apply reverb to the duplicate n experiment with settings.
also dont forget all the JS plug ins one can use on vocals n other traks.
n other triks like widening etc.

got a less than stellar mic pre ? use a hint of JS flange on it then experiment with REAFIR n
REAXCOMP n go to town on it. lots to discover.
