Record micro tutorial 5 - Insert effects Video Lecture | Reason Tutorials: The Ultimate Guide - Video & Sound Editing

in this tutorial we're going to look at
how to use insert effects and record
insert effects are the kind of effects
that you put between a sound source and
the mixer
unlike send effects which are fed from
the mixers effects sense insert effects
are typically used when you want to
process the whole signal like when
you're using distortion compression or
EQ let's look at how to add an insert
effect and record here we have some
vocals that we want to add some
compression to first click the audio
channel to make sure it's selected and
then add the compressor simply by double
clicking it in the devices power an
m-class compressor is now added to our
vocals let's tweak the parameters to get
some compression going nice let's add a
little crunch to the vocals by using the
scream for sound destruction units
simply drag the screen for to where you
want the effective appear record will
handle the signal routing for you as you
can see building your own effect chains
and record is easy but many musicians
don't care so much for the inner
workings of elaborate signal processing
setups luckily record comes with a large
number of insert effect patches ready
for use to load an insert effect patch
simply click the folder icon under the
insert effects section and records main
mixer and you can use any of the effect
patches on your track good note that the
effect parameters can be tweaked
directly from the mixer very handy when
fine-tuning a mix now let's take a look
at what actually happened when we loaded
that patch going back to the rack we see
a number of devices now added as insert
effects and if we fold out the audio
channels programmer we also see a number
of controls for this effect patch those
of you who are still awake will notice
that these are the same controls as you
saw in the mixer
if you use reason this setup will look
vaguely like a Combinator and that's
exactly what it is each audio track is
also a Combinator for insert effects and
of course you can also build your own
insert patches say for example that you
have a favorite combination of effects
that you use over and over like
compression anyway with all the effects
added to a channel you can save that set
up as an insert effect patch for later
use
there'll be more about building effect
patches in a later micro tutorial insert
effects and record easy as that
