I found a really cool JSFX plugin called The Analog Molecule which uses global memory in Reaper to link a bunch of instances in each channel and on the master track together, doing saturation where everything affects everything else like a real mixing desk or whatever. Acts more like a living, breathing thing. There's even some kind of seed feature where you can roll a new channel for the signal to pass through, with its own subtle differences, so kind of emulating how each piece of gear is slightly different. I will be redoing all of the weeklybeats/extra tracks this way. Thankfully I discovered the plugin pretty early into the year and there isn't that many tracks to redo
