Assigning separate Bus level effects

[wherewithal]

Hi all,

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this...

Is there anyway to assign Bus delay to one track but no reverb
and reverb to a second track but no delay?

Or would there need to be a Bus1 and Bus2 to accomplish this?

Anyone know of any workarounds aside from printing reverb to the track using an app in the effects slot in Audiobus?

Other than using AudioBus, this is the only way I know:


There is a way. When copying regions from more than one track, they will be bounced w/effects. So you'll have to select the region you want to copy and also another region to get this functionality. It could be just a small silent region (turn the IN fader all the way down and record a small region on another track for this purpose). Apologies for this being so contrived, still working out a good system for it.

Pwnified posted this awhile back, but I don't think there's any other way yet.

Thanks man,

I appreciate the guidance. This is useful but obviously the ability to separately assign these effects would be cool.

Most daws have 2 aux's minimum.

MTDAW does not... Currently.

that sounds like foreshadowing to me, Martygras. Also, the ability to apply a High Pass Filter to the reverb would be sweet and keep me from having to do as much parallel processing and risk phase cancellation.

Oh yeah, high pass on the verb/comp/delay, you name it.

I was trying some parallel compression on acoustic guitar (Reacomp in Reaper) and was surprised at the results. I was able to maintain all attacks and transients regardless of how quickly the strums were and still was able to bring up some softer passages without automating any compressor controls or volume levels.

I would have to run 2 identical tracks with compression on only 1 track in MTDAW, then find a balance point.

I do this dance every time sometimes it results in the 2 parallel tracks cancelling each other out to some degree, especially with reverb present

Phase/polarity switches on all tracks should be a must. Absolutely necessary for recording drums and acoustic guitar with multiple mics.
