[RWP] automating mutes and solos in Reaper 3.x

[Chris Belle]

This is something that's just a no brainer in sonar.

Ah well, atleast we have a way to do it in reaper, even if it's round about.

  No need to set volume all the way down, there's a mute item action
  already in the virtual viewer thingamy.

  Sorry I don't have a better answer. I couldn't get this to work
  consistently either, was up against a deadline when I originally
  tried, so ended up going down the item-based route. Haven't quite
  worked up enough hatred to put time into rethinking things, yet.
