[RWP] a few audio edit questions if possible

[Justin Thornton]

hi
thanks so much for clearing lots of things up for me

As for the item splittings, all the tracks get items split with just the letter S
I only wan the track I currently have selected to be split with items
can anyone answer some questions about tempo's?
1. how to start/stop metronome, and change the default tempo on the fly?
Is there anyway to set markers for tempo changes throughout your whole project?

> Press add to add another effect, tab and arrow to Reaper's folder for effects, VST; arrow to the compresser; press enter on it;  and it should also be added to the MP3 track.
> Same as the equalizer, after loading the compresser; tab to its parameters, and look for edit boxes at your arrow keys to tweak the compresser.
