Can you use a phaser effect only on the echo?

Hi all, I am very new at music producing but I am taking a class that uses Reason, Logic and Digital Performer. I've read most of the faqs but still have one question on Reason.

I was wondering if it's possible to use have a pad for example, use an echo on that pad, then use a phaser, flanger, etc ONLY on the echo not on the original pad.

If it's possible, does anyone know how the connections go on Reason? If it's important, I think it's version 3 on Reason and we're using macs. Thanks all.

I would suggest you do like this:

And then send (The red knobs above each channel on the front of the mixer, in this case Knob #1) the phased echo to the pad through the mixer (in this case to the sound of the nn19)

Cheers!

Ahhh, this stuff gets pretty technical doesn't it? Thank you a million times over AlphaDave, especially with the screenshot as it probably will be way confusing to describe in words.

I will test this setup first thing tomarrow morning and let you know how it turns out. Thanks again.

No problemo mate! ;)

You could also run a completely wet signal out of the delay fx and then run phaser after that. Then simply run a second instance of the pad with no fx.

Rather than running a second instance of the pad with no fx, you could use a Spider Audio Merger/Splitter to split the pad into two separate signals, then process one of them with the delay and phaser, while routing the other one directly to the mixer.

Much more CPU-friendly (and convenient for editing) than having two instances of the same pad.

Thats how i do it. The Spider Merger/Splitter is one of the most underused features IMHO

Fair call. I'm not a reason user so wasn't aware of this function. Can't say "CPU-friendliness" is something I really ever think about. I just do it.
