Using sends

[thebigcheese]

In my Reaper project, I have 4 drum tracks that I send to another track so that I can apply reverb to them all at once. I set them all up as Post-FX and then set the levels and panning in the IO of the receiving track. Originally, I had the original drum tracks muted (with the mute button) so that only the effected tracks would be heard, but it seems that after a recent Reaper upgrade, pressing the mute button on the original tracks now mutes them in the receiving track as well. However, unmuting them and lowering the fader all the way still works. Am I just going about this the wrong way, or is there a reason this was changed?

Anyone? Maybe?

Try posting your question in the Reaper forums here.

From what I understand, it is a rather active forum.

Yeah... that was my next idea, I just thought I'd see if anyone here would help first.

I think some of the solo logic did change. In keyprefs hit "new" then "search" and type solo, I think there are a few clues in there

I thought so. I posted on the Reaper forums and they told me putting the tracks into a folder with the reverb track at the top is an easier solution. And it is. Well, at least I learned about the IOs a bit...
