[RWP] Tips for selecting audio

[Indigo]

Stewart, Sound Forge is the best audio editor, in my opinion, and since 
you already know all those edits in  Sound Forge, why not install Sound 
forge on your computer that has Reaper, then set Sound Forge as your 
associated editor.
In Reaper's options/preferences; there's a long listof topics; beginning 
with Audio, and toward the very bottom of those topics is a place to set 
Reaper's associated editor.
Now, I haven't done this yet, though I will in time, so I can't say how 
you take the track from Reaper to Sound Forge to do things like fade in 
fade out, but there must be a method.
I'm hoping it's simply selecting an audio track in Reaper, then in 
Reaper's menus will be Sound Forge, click on it and Sound Forge opens 
with the selected audio track in place.
This is how apps like Sonar do it; I believe;  but I'm only guessing.
If you try it, please tell us how it worked.
Sorry, I can only help with what I've done so far, but I'm glad to help 
with that much,
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.
