Reaper Take Effects Question

[bmg]

As usual, I'm having an issue with panning in Reaper.

It may be down to using the wrong panning mode as a default.
I'm using mono tracks, and the setting is 'stereo balance.'
(Not sure if that's the right one for this configuration.)

I'm trying to add a delay to part of a track - which means I had to split it.
The part is hard panned left, and I want the delay hard panned right.
No matter what setting I use, the signals are not sounding right - not distinct from each other.
I tried panning through the take properties on the actual track, but that doesn't seem to work, either.
If I pan the actual track on the mixer, then the whole track will follow, which is not what I want; which is only to have the item affected.

Hard to explain, but maybe someone can decipher what I'm after.

The easiest way to do it would be to put the delay on a send. Pan that part of the track left and the delay return right.

If you have a mono track, you may not be able to have a stereo effect on it.

I know you can send tracks, but can you send a take?

Automate the send to go on and off at the appropriate times.

Thanks - will try - wasn't aware you could do that.

Automating the Send or Wet/Dry on the effect is the easiest way. You could also duplicate the take on a separate track and add the FX on that.

I was able to get that to work, though tedious.
