Monitoring FX in REAPER Explained (Rapid-Fire REAPER tutorials Ep104)

Hey folks!
Been a while since we’ve done an episode of Rapid-Fire REAPER tutorials, but today it’s back and we’re covering Monitoring FX! It’s a feature that I believe is exclusive to REAPER and I’ll show you how to use it, and what Monitoring FX I use in my projects!
