In this Reaper for Game Audio tutorial, we're going to talk about working with plugins in Reaper 6. If you've worked in DAWs before, you're likely to be pretty familiar with how this works... but as is typical with Reaper, there are also some key Reaper-specific things we should know about that can drastically speed up our workflow!

While there's a lot to cover when it comes to working with plugins in Reaper, I want to keep this video pretty focused on getting started with how to insert them onto your tracks, how to move/copy them from track to track, how to bypass them, and even how to set up shortcuts for all of your most-used plugins to drastically speed up your workflow.
We don't cover how to create plugin presets, or how to save FX chains for later use on other tracks in this video, but we will in a future one!
And, of course, it wouldn't be a Reaper for Game Audio video without Thane making an appearance!
We're also using the default Reaper 6 theme for this series!
