[RWP] Listening to a selected area of a track

[Chris Belle]

Hang in there reaper is weird, but it's actually very good at editing audio once you figure out all the different lovely things you can do.

I teach this stuff and it took me a while to join the reaper fan club.

But now for straight out audio editing, I love it.

The way you can cross-fade things and seamlessly grow troublesome audio bits together is cool.

  Hello Crystal,
  Yep,  I feel your pain.  It's not like sound forge, for sure.
  But, here is one thing that does work.

  Position your cursor a little way ahead of the point where you want your 
  selection to end.
  Start playback, and strike control+space as close as possible to the point 
  where the selection should end.  Be sure to use control+space, not just 
  space by itself.Playback will pause.
  Press alt+shift+rightBracket to mark the end of the selection.
  Now, use page up, or whatever means to back up to a point just prior to 
  where you want the selection to start.
  Start playback again, and strike control+space to pause at the desired start 
  point.  Playback will pause.
  Pressalt+shift+LeftBrack to mark the start point.  Now you have a time 
  selection established.
  Pressing space bar will now just play the selection.
  And, there are keys, that I can't recall justn ow, for nudging the left and 
  right ends of the selection, in case you didn't get them just right.
  HTH
  Sure,  you're welcome.
