Ping pong delay?

[Jeffsounds]

I tried Readelay for a ping-pong effect on a current mix and the right channel sounded muddy no matter what I did. I ended up using a different delay in a separate track for the right side.

thing back together. Or, route it out to a couple tracks...

But it would be nice if it just plain worked!

I don't think any of this is really a problem - why have ReaDelay made more complicated than needed for 99% of the uses? And also, the amazing and cool thing about Reaper is you can save.and use fx.chains

And also, your tracks can contain more than 2 channels and you can route and do stuff in parallel without using multiple tracks, all nice and neat! Its definately worth understanding channels and routing for this kind of thing.

I think it'd be a nice feature in general... would let you try other interesting ideas that involve a delayed onset of the effect, perhaps? Certainly more useful to me than, for example, setting the bit depth of the tap, an extant feature that doesn't really speak to me. :-) But yeah, not a big deal to do with a saved FX chain.

Yeah, agree about bit depth. I try it, but it seems meh.

Extant. Love that word! :-)

Had to revive this thread because there is already a ping-pong delay included in Reaper! Yes, js to the rescue........

Look for "JS: Stillwell delay_pong" in the fx browser. I just used it, it works great!

D'oh! Indeed. How did we miss that?

Maybe because it's called "pong" for some reason... I bet we all typed "ping" into the filter assuming "ping pong"? :-)

Thanks for the tip.

I was curious and wanted to find out what of some delays having been mentioned here would work fine for me. I wanted to add a nice ping-pong delay to my snare. Well, the only satisfactory result I got from Readelay by tweaking and making a setting of my own.

Short example:

Snare drum without REAdelay.

To add some more humman feel, one could automate the parameter "length" of Readelay

NI giveaway until Dec 31st apparently also has ping pong:
