Now that you have gone over some basic filter types, I want to touch base on the specifics of using filters in Reaper.

Adding Plug-Ins

To add a plug-in, either click on the slot in the plug-in chain where you want to insert a plug-in, or click the FX button and select the plug in you want.

Automation

As with track gain and panning, Reaper also allows for the automation of individual parameters for any available plug-in.

If you open a track’s automation window after adding a plug-in, there should be a number of new choices for parameters to automate. Selecting one of these parameters will add a new automation lane below your audio file.

You can now automate these plug-in parameters in any of the ways described last week for plug-in automation.

Likewise, if you have your session in one of the global automation modes, then it will automatically record the automation.
