Using VST plugins with SCS

[medrolet]

If you'd like to have the possibility to add EQ (or reverb or any other audio processing) to SCS, consider using Reaper (http://www.cockos.com/reaper/) as a VST plugin host.
Install Reaper with "Reroute ASIO driver" checked.
Open Reaper first, then SCS. In the "Production Properties" window, "ReaRoute ASIO" will appear in the "Physical Device" list and multiple outputs and output pairs will appear in the "Speakers/Outputs " list. (Actually 16 mono and 8 stereo pairs.)
You can set up SCS Pro for 8 pairs of stereo sends to Reaper, then send the Reaper outputs (after processing) to your audio hardware outputs.
See attached screenshot (#1)
In Reaper, set up 8 stereo tracks; choosing "ReaRoute 1/2" as input for Track 1, "ReaRoute 3/4" as input for Track 2, ... etc.
Setup "Audio Hardware Outputs" for each track to suit your needs and available hardware.
Select "Input Monitor" to route each audio track to your Audio Hardware Ouptuts.
Click on the FX button on each track to insert a "ReaQ" or other VST plugin.
In the screenshot (#2) attached, I've set Tracks 1-4 with EQ and 5-7 with reverb.
Odd tracks are routed to my hardware outputs 1 and 2 and even tracks to hardware outputs 3 and 4.

It's important to remember to launch Reaper before SCS for the "ReRoute ASIO" to appear.

Very interesting.

The screenshots don't seem to be working? I just tried a locked-down Chrome and a 'vanilla' Firefox.

Hi. Sorry for the delay in replying. For some reason SCS Forum messages were going to my Spam folder.

Please try the following:

1. Install ASIO4ALL with Rewire (Rewuschel) option enabled. (http://www.asio4all.com/)
2. Open Reaper and Insert a new track.
3. Choose ReaRoute1+ReaRoute2 as Input for this track.
4. Record Arm the track, and select Record Monitoring ON.
5. In SCS Audio Output Devices, click on ASIO (using BASS) as Audio Driver.
6. You should see ReaRoute ASIO Outputs 1-2 under Physical Device and Outputs.
7. If you run a cue in SCS, you should now see (hear) it in Reaper.
8. You can add any VST plugins you want to the FX chain of the track.

Let me know how it works.
