Output Aliasing In Reaper
Customizing your recording and playback environment variables is an old feature in DAW development as a whole, but Reaper's implementation is pretty free of quirks or counter-intuitive productivity-halting misfeatures. In this tutorial screencast video, we take a look at how to use aliasing for the outputs in your recording environment under Reaper.
ROB WARMOWSKI: This also works for output channels, so let’s go ahead and change that up. We can go to output chain name listing. The left output and the right output are named exactly that, but if we change it to, say for example, stereo right output...

...okay? Actually let’s make that a lot more descriptive by saying stereo-routed right output.

And then we go in with left.

Once you go ahead and apply that, then when you actually go to the I/O or routing button in an individual channel in REAPER and say for example pull up any menu that refers to the outputs that are present on the system, you will see your new aliases reflect right there. And this is of course is most useful not so much on this laptop that I’m doing a demo on but rather for computers that are equipped with a, you know, input/output device with multiple channels on it, 8-channel, 16-channel device, maybe a USB interface or for a tower PC, a PCI card.
Well that’s REAPER channel aliasing, and I’m Rob for Gearwire. Keep it on Gearwire for more videos in the near future.
