Default Post-Fader FX on Master Track

plain and simple. I really need Post-Fader effects on the master track, this has been bugging me for months. heck lets put Post-fader effects on every track. What do you guys think?



How about we stick it in the fx chain windows as a post-fader item that can be drug up and down just like an effect to give the post fader effects position. I was thinking of something like this

Of course, this won't be limited to just the master track

Use "Volume (Pre FX)" in the automation envelopes and a pre FX fader appears.

Thats neat, and it works, but that fader is not reachable from the mixer portion, which is what i'm using.

It's only visible when automation in in read, touch, latch or write. Try it in Latch first.

um... yeah i see it there and it works great, but i'm talking post-fader and post-pan effects for bit depth reduction and maximizers.

...maybe I'm missing something?

Default Magoostus is right

Post fader, post everything effect slot is important to be able to keep the master bus headroom and use a compressor/limiter on the overall mix.

Use the JS volume effect and you can do exactly that - or Sonalksis FreeG VST fader if you want something more sexy.

oh, i love the JS volume utility, it fantastic. but its not quite the same. see, if i bump the track volume fader by accident. i'll ruin the bit-depth reduction. and yeah, i can use the volume utility, but i have to keep the window open all the time and that takes up space. or put all these automation lines on my track view that makes it all cluttered

ya see, with this method, it will be more simple and secure. its a more rock-solid method of using post-fader effects.

(maybe this should go in the nitpick category)

the JS stuff is fantastic. as are all the offerings from the talented folks contributing more than bigfinds and gripes.

But, I am beginning to feel like JS is a crutch. especially for midi. It makes it more difficult to get a sense of what's going on.

Post fader FX would be stellar, and enable us to thin out the track counts. What's the problem there? this is the land of Uber-Routing right? So let's have it. If js are that killer pre fader imagine what could be accomplished with the option to put them pre or post.

You could always just rename FreeG to "Post Fader" and there you are. Or am I missing the point (quite possibly)?

Wow,

I love this idea, and I am glad you guys have been promoting it before I suggested a superset of it today. I just called it Magic Slots temporarily, I know it sounds funny..

What do you guys think about all the other things these Magic Slots could do in the FX stack? They can simplify and enhance the Track Sends, Output Recording, having different Monitors FX and Recording FX, and parallel FX chains.. All these Pre, Post implementation details through out REAPER can be reduced with this idea.

You can read about it here:

nice workaround - and sending to another track (I am becoming predisposed to unnessisarily large track counts).

Except my recent encounters with automation lave left me gun-shy.

I'd prefer post fader FX. I am feeling the workaround is not congruent with workflow.

thanx art e. I use free g and it works. but i would like to have the MIXER db-METERS in pre/post-plugin or pre-fader (optional) view, so if I pull down my fader I still can see the incoming signal as in the js volume utility.
possible? anyone knows..?

I hope this being requested multiple times over 12 years or so might merit some consideration. Post-Fader FX are critical for many different types of workflows. That's why it keeps being requested over and over.
