[RWP] Playing a selected part of a wave file.

[Joe Paton]

Hello David,

I'm completely new to reaper, but what I think may do this, is to 
mark the start loop point, with alt plus left bracket, and the end 
point with alt right bracket.
  Then you can play the selected portion.
If i've misunderstood you then disregard the above.

I don't know if setting markers with the number keys will select the 
data between them, this may be a way of quickly going to points in 
the audio but not selecting it.

BTW it doesn't seem that reaper will call gold wave as an external 
audio editor.  Well My installation doesn't.  SF may be more 
successful.  GW isn't mentioned in anything I have read, but sound forge was.

HTH
