Guys can we have some techniques to master tracks in Reaper. Many users have been using Reaper to master their tracks. If we can have any tutorial on it would be amazing.
But according to the different songs might require different EQ and FX settings I hope thats not a problem.
As far as adding compression and stuff what else can we do to enhance the song in Reaper.

As far as using FX and EQ, I would assume you would just add them as inserts into each track.
FX like reverb, etc....are usually not inserted into tracks, but instead , used as SENDS.
Is that so you can use the same reverb for all of the tracks?
Mastering is a process.
If you understand the process, then you can do it on any daw.... Cubase, Reaper, ProTools, whatever.
Learn the basic underlying process, not 'push button A in plugin B'.....
If you have a set of, say, six songs to master, then one way of doing it in Reaper (and any other DAW for that matter) is to load them all up as separate tracks, all running in parallel. That way you can compare relative levels quite easily (using track mute and solo), and apply compression or whatever on individual tracks to raise volumes so that you end up with consistent and cohesive levels (i.e. quiet songs sound quiet, louder ones sound loud and so on). If you discover you need to apply a global fix of some sort (e.g. adjusting the EQ on all tracks), then you can do this with an insert on the master bus.
Except that while it was said what can be put on every track, I thought it made sense to point out what's relevant for the master bus.Beside the point that you both have nothing relevant to say.

And when a thread is active, some people read old stuff, no matter if it's 2 years or 2 hours old. That's the good thing about forums. It can be a several-years-spanning conversation. And still relevant.
That said, I'm relatively sure Reaper doesn't have much in the way of mastering-specific tools for things like sequencing, PQ codes, etc.
Well it might be worth updating this thread to point out that Reaper can now create DDP filesets. DDP turns it into a fairly serious mastering contender.
