Headphone mixes in Reaper
Posted on October 30, 2023
Writing this down mainly for my own needs but it might help someone else.
In reaper, create a folder for each headphone mix you’d like to have.
My band has 3 members, so I want 3.
Then in the routing matrix, assign analogue output 1/2 to folder 1 and repeat for the other analogue outputs.
In the EVO control panel. Analogue outputs to each map to a Cue Mix.
So Analoge outputs 1/2 can map to Cue A and so on.
Map the front headphone jacks to whatever cue mix (instead of main mix). The drums are close to the interface so I make headphones 2 map to Cue C (which is the drums).
I map the other headphone to myself. For the bassist I need to convert the analogue outputs to a stereo headphone jack with an adapter.
There’s other reaper specific stuff, but for reference I used this video from Kenny Gioia
