Default Using external compressor in Reaper

Hi,

I would like to use an external "real" compressor on the master bus in Reaper.
Is there any guide on how to do this? I tried but just seem to end up with a feedback loop.

Cheers

PT

you could use ReaInsert, there are probably some comprehensive tutorials floating around, but basically just load it as an insert & select your ins & outs (the connections to the compressor) from the dropdown boxes

isn't on the 2buss here but using ReaInsert on several different comps on drums for Parallel.. but same way you'd route the compressor to Reainsert for the 2buss

Thanks Guys,

Any ideas why I was getting feed back? After you put ReaInsert on the master bus do you have to alter the Master bus output in any way maybe?

you are using different physical outs on your interface for ReaInsert & for your master outs aren't you?
(ie master outs on 1&2 and ReaInsert on 3&4)
