Bringing fx online simultaneously

[Sambo Rouge]

There is an occasion where I have multiple fx on a track. Having tested that track offline, I now know its good. I then proceed to remaining tracks to find the culprit fx that keeps crashing Reaper.

Somewhere along the way Reaper(as expected)crashes.

My question: Since I now wish to open Reaper again offline to start the hunt again, is there any way to bring the fx in a particular track that I have already tested(and know that are good)online all at once?

It is tedious to have to go through each and every fx bring them back one at a time ---- to be repeated several times no doubt before I finally track down the back effect.

In those circumstances, I would do this:
-- open the project with all FX offline,
-- once the FX for a track have been brought on-line and the track is OK, save the project (with a slightly different name),
-- repeat for each track.

When it does crash the last version of the "slightly different named" project will have the working FX online and the problem track's FX (and subsequent tracks' FX )will be offline.

You could open project that normally and carry on (perhaps leaving the problem track for the moment and continuing with the next track).

Try the action "Track: Set all FX online for selected tracks".

Many thanks for the above suggestions.

Decided to try Juiansader's advice("Track: Set all FX online for selected tracks") since it was shorter than Darkstar's suggestion(appreciate the input).

I created a short cut so that all I need to do is use it to load all fx back into the track, regardless of how many there are.

Great time saver.

Thanks again guys.

That's OK; I've learned about a new action.

That seems a solution ,but wat if thrr are fx alrdy offline ?
How can I turn all fx online and leave the “alrdy offline” fx untouched in one go ?

Ctrl+B (on Windows) in the FX window will toggle selected FX on/off.

I often use this to ABX'ing: set one set of FX off and one set on. Select all. Ctrl+B now toggles the FX on/off.

You've also got the Shift+Click (toggle bypass) and Ctrl+Shift+Click (toggle off/online) options.

What's handy is that you can L/Click the FX button to turn all FX off and still change the individual FX status with Shift+Click.
