i just downloaded the demo and Im working on this project and i cant figure out how to simply select a bit of the song and delete it can someone tell me?

@willbesniping

Place your cursor at the beginning of the part you want to delete and press the "S" key on your keyboard. Do the same at the end point. Then select the part and press the delete key. There are many ways to do it in Reaper, but that was the easiest way for me to explain it to you. For further questions about reaper, go to the reaper forum and ask questions or download the free manual and study it.

hi. is it possible to automate the Rate in reaper? for example slow down the whole down at a certain point, ,then speed it back up? I am thinking you can do this in a live bounce, but what with automation?

[MakeItFunkyProds]

Yes, you can change the tempo in a song in Reaper at any point and then change it back at any point. In other words, yes, you can automate tempo changes.

@MakeItFunkyProds As much as I love REAPER, I do feel like the menus are a complete mess, and the built in plugins don't seem to cut it compared to the built-in plugins of most DAWs

Been curious about this and not sure how much it relates to this... Are you familiar with any MIDI foot controllers that one could use as a generic device for controlling vst fx, as well as automation within reaper? I suppose with the automation, one would need an expression pedal onboard the controller, but nonetheless I'm curious if such a controller exists. All I've seem to come across either relate only to specific amps or rack systems. Never wanted risk the price just to experiment :P

Clever system and excellent tutorial. Thanks.

@NoiseCollector thanks

[agilblom]

Thanks for making this.

Why don't they re-label write as "bull dozer" ? I think you've stumbled upon something here. Definitely not easy to confuse with latch.
