[RWP] Audio Quantization

I knew this had to be somewhere in Reaper.
If you want to follow all the links to each detail of the procedure; go 
to the link above.
It's a little disappointing to learn how many steps are required, but 
maybe it'll improve in future versions.
As I thought, we don't have a shortcut assigned to Quantize to Grid, and 
I think also Snap to Grid.

I found Quantize to Grid in the actions list and I'll post its number 
later, maybe we can agree on a common shortcut for it.
I don't think I'll use this complex Audio Quantization that much.
Actually, if you have an acidized loop, I believe Reaper plays it at the 
project tempo, same as Sony Acid Pro and Sonar.
You can also convert a music phrase to a Rex file and Reaper will play 
it at the project tempo.

So, basically, I think you could take a fairly long music phrase and 
acidize it to your Reaper project tempo and key; with Sound Forge; which 
is very easy;  then insert it into Reaper, and avoid this Audio Quantize 
procedure in Reaper.

I tried to chase down the tap tempo puzzle, and learned that you can 
either tap the audio track upp and down in tempo with the H key, or tap 
the metronome up and down in tempo, but I never got them to sync perfectly
Nudgeing will align them at any particular moment, but if the music 
phrase and the project tempo aren't the same, they'll eventually drift 
out of sync.
Okay, Reaper isn't perfect yet.

I think the best use of snap to grid will be to snap the edge of an 
inserted  loop to the measure line.
