    Diego's ANDREW SCHEPS TEMPLATE FOR REAPER

    Session Layout and Routings are the same, with some added functionality not available in Pro Tools.
    With this template, it will take you just a few minutes to have all your tracks routed, colored and ready for
    mixing.

    INSTALLATION

    Place S&M.ini and sws-autocoloricon.ini in your Reaper folder. So they will replace the 2 files pre-installed
    in Reaper.
    Place SchepsMixingTemplate.rpp in your ProjectTemplates folder.

    If you have trouble finding the Reaper Folder, go to: Options menu/Show Reaper resource path in
    explore/finder...

    TRACK COLOURS

    USING REAPER'S TRACK AUTOCOLOURING

    In case your audio tracks are already named:


    If your project's tracks are already named, just by adding them to the template, they'll be automatically
    coloured to their respective category of instruments.
    I color-coded groups of instruments in categories following Scheps choice of colors as much as possible. (Ie.:
    Dark blue for drums, Dark green for electric guitars, Light green for acoustic guitars, etc).

    In case your audio tracks are unnamed:


    Let say, all your audio drum tracks are unnamed, so just by naming them: "hi-hat" or "hats" or "ht", they'll
    be coloured dark blue automatically. Or if you have an unnamed Snare track, just name it: "snare" or "sn" or
    "bottom sn" and it'll be coloured likewise. It will work the same for bass, guitar, vocal, back vocal tracks and
    keys as well.

    I added most of the rules that you normally find in most projects for naming audio tracks. (You can find all
    these rules at: Menu/ Extensions/ Auto Color/Icon/Layout). So please add the rules that are missing for your
    project when it occurs.

    TEMPLATE COLOUR CODING:

    Pink for Aux tracks


    Blue for Parallel Processing, delays, reverbs tracks, etc
    Green for Toms Aux
    Yellow for VCAs
    Dark Brown for "Master Tracks" (as know in PT), in Reaper they're simply fader tracks
    Wine Red for Vocals
    Purple for BVs

    Diego's Andrew Scheps Template for Reaper page 1


    Applying Pro Tools concept of master tracks in Reaper:

    To have tracks in Reaper working as "Pro Tools master tracks" I made pseudo "Reaper master tracks" (brown
    color). To us, Reaper users, these tracks are simply bus tracks.
    So, now you have a simple fader to control the whole signal before sending it to the next track for
    processing, same way as Scheps use PT master tracks.

    Scheps has three master tracks in his template: Fatso Master (for drums only), Rear Bus Master and Mix
    Bus Master.

    The ROUTER track (as labelled by Scheps) in Reaper context becomes the track where the Mix Bus
    processing happens, before it's sent to the Reaper Master track.
    So think of the MIX BUS MASTER track simply as a fader controlling the sum of your whole mix before the
    ROUTER track (a.k.a. your Mix Bus).

    HOW TO ROUTE YOUR AUDIO TRACKS TO THE TEMPLATE

    Route your audio tracks to their designated tracks of the template, (explained below).
    Use Reaper's Routing Matrix so that you can finish all this job in a minute. Getting familiar with Reaper's
    Routing Matrix will pay you dividends.

    Drums:

    Send all your Drums, Toms, Lead Vocals, Back vocals and Percussions audio tracks to their designated AUX
    tracks, as follows:

    kick tracks > KICK AUX (pink)


    snares tracks > SNARE AUX (pink)
    tom tracks > TOMS (green)
    rest of the drum kit tracks > DRUM KIT AUX (pink)

    Vocals:

    lead vocal tracks > LEAD VOX (red)


    backvocal tracks >BVs (purple)

    Remaining tracks:

    All the remaining audio tracks must be routed to the REAR BUS MASTER and to the MIX BUS MASTER. This
    way, you can use them exactly same way as Scheps uses Master Tracks in Pro Tools. (i.e.: they become
    master faders)

    VCA's:

    Group all your audio tracks to their VCA's.

    Diego's Andrew Scheps Template for Reaper page 2


    Set all the audio tracks sends at 0.0dB, Post Fader (Post-Pan) and most importantly, untick Master Send.
    No audio track should go to Reaper Master track. We're trying to process them similarly to Scheps!
    Do not make or change any routing of the tracks from the template, you only route your audio tracks to
    them.

    Don't put anything in any of the Master tracks, the brown tracks: (Fatso Master track, Rear Bus Master track
    and Mix Bus Master track). Their only purpose here is to work as a simple fader, just like the "master tracks"
    in a PT session.
