Once you’re all set, keep preferences open and scroll up to Editing Behaviour – Mouse Modifiers, to create your custom mouse modifier to open items in RX. There, select ‘ Add‘ and choose your primary external editor, as illustrated on the picture below. In the Reaper preferences menu, scroll all the way down to External Editor. Without any further ado, let’s dive into it. In order to accomplish that, Reaper must recognise RX first - the DAW doesn’t have support for RX Connect yet, so the alternative we have at our disposal is to open files in external editors. Together, we’ve figured out a way to split an ambisonics file into 4 mono channels and route them through a bus that would then maintain each channel’s spatialisation. So how can that be achieved?Ī few months ago my teammates, Oliver Schulz and Calum Wakeling, and I were having an issue where no matter what we tried, we couldn’t make the ambisonics recordings sound better and fit well with the picture.
If you try to send a 3-channel or more audio file to it, RX will prompt you with the following warning: “ RX does not support that many channels“. One of the biggest challenges I was facing until recently was that of figuring out a way to clean up an ambisonics recording. As and editor, I’m constantly sending files over to RX for general or specific improvements.
