[RWP] Installing reaccess part 2

Mon Nov 21 12:05:09 EST 2011

Hi Indigo

Okay I've just finished my first multi-track session with Reaper.

I made it a little simple on myself by recording the backing track in Sound
Forge then bringing that into Reaper on track 1 using the insert key.

To do the first vocal, I made a new track, then brought the mouse down to 2
and a little further where I found "in"  I right clicked on that and went
down to stereo and checked left right, also checking the record item while I
was in that track.

I had to do the same for any subsequent tracks for the harmony vocal.  I
then rendered that to a 2-track stereo master.  I can't say it's absolutely
brilliant but not bad for a first attempt.

Chrissie, I'm intrigued, what moves in reaper are required to see tracks?
I'm trying to get together a quick guide to Reaper from a screenreader point
of view, and I would appreciate any key combination moves you discover.
Actually, if you have the energy and ambition, and it seems you do, to
tackle Reaper barefoot, without ReaAccess; is the best method to really
understand it.
ReaAccess is like a little sheltered port in a storm, somewhat isolated from
complex Reaper.
While in ReaAccess, we don't encounter areas you are tackling.
I'm just at the same decision point you are, with a new Windows 7 64 bit
machine, where I can't run 64 bit Reaper with Winize, and I'm leaning toward
installing a swappable hard drive tray in an empty drive bay at the
computer's front.Once that tray is in place, I'll be able to pick up the 64
bit Windows 7 hard drive and just plug it in, or take it out and plug the 32
bit Windows XP hard drive in.
Those trays aren't very expensive, and are no harder to install than an
interior hard drive is.
I personally don't like Windows 7 64 bit, because not only Winize doesn't
behave itself perfectly, but my brand new Emu 1616M sound card works better
on 32 bits, and so does Reason 6, which, along with Reaper, is an amazing
creative tool..
I will stay with what works, on XP; until the bugs get strained out of both
Windows 7 64 and Window-Eyes 7x.
