[RWP] Item Pasting

[Rene Kaaij]

Hi James,
You can disable auto crossfade with alt+x, if I'm right. I changed a
lot of shortcuts myself, so this should probably be the original one.
You could also move every item to the left within Reaper. If you
enable Ri;;le editing all items will be moved at the same time.

> Hi all,

> A few nights back I recorded quite a long segment (4 hours or so) of audio in SoundForge.  I imported the extremely large wave file onto a track in Reaper, and went through it, editing out the parts I didn't want and splitting certain parts as separate items on the track.

> When I had completed my editing, I was left with a file that was just over 2 hours, instead of 4, and a track in Reaper with 32 items on it.  I went through the track, applying fades to each item as required.

> What I now wish to do is somewhat mix these items; I have the fade-ins and fade-outs set, but because each bit of audio is a separate item, naturally, one item ends with a fade out, and another begins with a fade in.  What I want is to either nudge, or cut and paste, the items around on the track so that they overlap each other.  However, Reaper seems to do mixing, or crossfading of its own whenever you paste an item onto a track.  As I've already set the fades for each item, I obviously don't want Reaper to mix them for me.

Item 1, for example, has a 5 second fade out, and Item 2 has a 5 second fade in.  I wish to simply paste item 2 5 seconds before the end of Item 1 and let the fades do their thing and let the audio overlap nicely.
