[RWP] Getting forward

[Indigo]

You are suffering from comparing Reaper to your drum machine moves from 
the Akai MPC.
No, Reaper is not as simple to use as a drum machine, but you can't do 
detailed editing in a drum machine; like you can in Reaper.
Just learn the couple of shortcuts to get into Reaper's midi editor, and 
you'll soon make note changes as quick as on the MPC.
