figured out how to make panning work properly with this. Edited original post. You'll have to give up your stereo or dual pans, but it's really no biggie. *edit* automation still not working as expected with pan.
Not to beat the proverbial dead horse but while all these great ideas are flying around... maybe also allow Reaper's send destinations to switch? It's (imo, mmv as usual) a really unusual limitation in context to how flexible the general routing is, and a bit of a pain at times... to have to create a new send or destroy the old one every time you change your mind about a send destination. I usually throw up a few different verbs to mix, Plate, Hall, Room, and kinda experiment with combinations of sources going to them, which I can't really do in Reaper without creating 3 sends on every source channel or repeatedly creating and destroying or muting sends. Not sure why it's designed that way but I hope it gets looked at in the future. It's rather inflexible. (imo, mmv) /Off Topic
thanks for doing this. much appreciated as it does work as advertised. however... solving one problem seems to create another. for me, this method can quickly turn into a visual mess once there are more children and fx added. i.e. lets say you have a bunch of vocals grouped together. the various children of that group might have individual sends going to a reverb, a delay, and maybe a modulation effect. with the "sister bus" method, each of the 3 sends shows up as "sister bus" on the mixer send panel for that channel making it a bit of a challenge to correctly identify and quickly adjust a delay send level for a single child on the fly.
Yes there is a little problem with FX on the folder tracks. You can have it so FX affects the individual child's tracks themselves but not each childs sends.:(
