[RWP] Tips for selecting audio

[Stuart Lawler]

Thank you Indigo. How can I apply a fade-in or fade-out to a selected piece of audio? In sound forge, I used to select the desired audio, go to process and fade.

Stuart.

In ReaAccess, you can split any audio track into items by first selecting the item.
I arrow to the track in question and press ctrl+shift+right arrow to select hhe item.
You can then left or right arrow to locate the cursor at the point you want the split to occur; then press the S key.
You then have the portion of the track  previous to your split point called item 1 and the remainder of the original track as item 2.
Then you can do what you like with either item, delete it; cut and paste it to a new track, whatever.
You can split these items again and again into ever smaller sections; or items as they are called; by the same method.

Other people may suggest other methods, there are usually many ways to do things in Reaper.
Hope this helps,
Indigo L

Thanks to Gianluca, a member of this list I think, I have a nice project template that allows me to set up ducking, so that music fades down nicely when a voiceover is inserted. Now however, I'm wanting to perform some very basic selection commands.
