Multiple EQ settings on the one track - is there a better way?

TROLL ALERT!!

Or, just go to Cubase, and forget about the 'work around's'. That would be a simple two click maneuver.

Ok, sorry, bored.

1-0 to Jimmy & cubase me thinks!

Can you automate the bypass (is there a bypass button?) in Reaper? That would be better and easier than automating the bands in the EQ.

Yep, that would make the most sense.

Must spread rep again.....

Yep . . . Bypass can be automated.

Yeah, automating the bypass is what I worked out on my lonesome before I posted the question... I was just thinking it seemed an unduly messy way to do it in that it creates two new envelopes and two EQ instances.

I could split the tracks as gecko suggested but as I already have pan, volume and effects envelopes on the track, that's just getting way too messy - it is one guitar take, I want to keep it that way because of those other variations I'm doing if possible. Same as printing the effects on the track, because I'm sure I'm going to change my mind about EQ once I add in some more stuff and try to mix it properly - I'm just assembling a rough mix as I go at the moment.

Never mind, my original solution works fine and seems easiest... thanks for the input guys.

And Jimmy..... you realise you almost gave Crows rep for coming up with the solution that I'd actually written in the first post.... now go back to the Cubase forum... I'll concede this one to you but for $60, I'll live with Reaper's little quirks...

Or double the track, apply EQ A to one, EQ B to the other, then volume automate.

What's the occasion?


It's Sunday here, so I'm still relaxin'

I'm not sure how that's done in REAPER, but it sounds almost exactly like what I suggested. "APPLY TRACK EFFECTS TO ITEM AS NEW TAKE" is what I'm talking about. We might be talking about the same thing.

Gecko's suggestion will work just fine, too.

Nope. Item FX are non-destructive (realtime) insert type effects attached to individual items in track view. They come before anything you see in the mixer. Not completely sure if they're automatable, but I think they are.

Edit - sorry, guess it's called "Take FX" in reaper.
