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

[Patrick Perdue]

And I  might consider using Sonar if editing audio was as nice as it is 
in Reaper. Considering that's mostly what I do, as I'm an audio guy 
first, midi/softsynths  are way back there somewhere in priority, that 
isn't currently happening. Why must everything suck on all platforms?
