ReaNEQ...what is it?
Does anyone have information on this plugin? I tried searching and didn't find anything that describes what this plugin does. I know its some type of EQ, but how is it different from, say, ReEQ?
Any info appreciated.

I'm kind of curious how you use eq IRs. would you put a fairly transparent eq (reaeq?) then an IR loader with that eq IR if you didn't have reaneq or the equivalent?

What I really really really want.... is a sidechain EQ.

can be done in Reaper already,
basicly it lets you boost or duck or shift frequency of a band/bands via side chain input
so instead of ducking the bass when the kick plays you could sweep up the bass cut to 120htz every time the kick plays (or visa versa)
or duck the mid EQ on a guitar peace when the vocals are playing
unless they are on about some other EQ side-chaining that i know nothing about

The knobs turn, but only the gain knob does anything Maybe soon
And yeah its reaneq, same files just cleaned way better up and fixed for phase and such, most of the irs are shorter and more efficient than the version at LOL. It was one of our CALREC 1061's

If this can already be done, I'd like to be shown how. As far as I can tell Reaper has no included EQs that have a sidechain input, and very few VST EQs exist with one either. :/

It's done via parameter modulation. There's a fair bit to read, but it's in the manual starting at p341. Basically, if Reaper can see a plugin's parameter, it can be sidechained, which opens up a whole new level of creativity.

Ah, I see.
My use for this would be to clean up mixes though, and honestly I think this requires a dedicated GUI. The sky may be the limit but using this particular method in a mix context seems like a recipe for clutter. I may be wrong though...

I haven't found it adds to extra clutter, most of what goes on is behind the scenes. But bear in mind there are many plugins that offer sidechaining, but only internally (not easy to spot unless you thoroughly try the plugin first). Reaper lets you get around this.
Also, if you're just dialing in a specific frequecy range generating the sidechain input, say reaeq, (OMG we've reinvented multiband sidechaining!) you can rename the instance (NOT the plugin itself) to make it easier to understand when you revisit the project later.
Have a play, and tell us how you found it.
Steve
EDIT, just to clarify, internal sidechaining is where the sidechain signal is the original one, there is no auxillary signal used.

Thanks for all the responses. I guess what I'm looking for is technical data on this EQ. I've seen links of people discussing it but still not sure why you would use this eq over ReaEQ.
So it emulates a console? Whats so great about that? Not being sarcastic...just wanna know why someone would want to use this eq. Does it add some kind of harmonic distortion or color the sound..like a tape/analog emulation plug?
Also what is an IR? - sorry if I sound a little dense.
When I get my Reaper computer back I'll insert it on a channel and try to hear what it does to the sound.

IR is short for "Impulse Response", which is much like regular sampled audio file, but intended for convolution processing, not for direct playback.

Thanks. Found an article from SOS online about convolution processing. Will give it a read.

I'm also interested in the development of reaneq. Any updates on this? I'm no bad mamma jamma coder so I can't help on that end. Anything else I can do to help? I could probably make another GUI if needed...

Now that I think of it, a pair of low- and highpass filters would be a nice addition to the audio follower to isolate specific frequencies to follow (like the kick).

Has anyone posted a feature request to add high and low pass filters to the audio control signal of the parameter modulation feature?

Sorry for dgging this up - but ReaNEQ is no longer showing up in the list of available FXs on my newly installed audio workstation (Windows 8, Reaper v4.31/x64). As usual, reaneq.dll and reaneq subfolder with .wavs are in a 32-bit vst folder from which dozens of other vst(i)s are picked up correctly.
Re-Install didn't help.
Anybody know what's happening? I would like to get this working for backward compatibility with older projects.
Thanks,
El-Rallef
