[RWP] how to do audio quantizing with reaper?

[Indigo]

I haven't got round to trying it yet, but in the latest Reaper 4.4402 
you got Stretch Marks, Which is both another visual means of aligning an 
audio track to visual marks, for sighted users; and also an automatic 
method of forcing transcients of an audio track to be aligned to another 
audio track's rhythm.
It's brand new, so you'll need to experiment with it, but; in the Cockos 
forums; users were taking a spoken vocal track and forcing the words to 
align with a rhythm track, instant rap in a single move
Stretch Marks is in the items menu; with a submenu to allow setting 
stretch marks to the grid.
All the daws are getting Stretch Markers, Reason just got them in version 7.
 From what I've read; in the newest Reaper; ; if you had an audio track 
with clicks on it, that would do to align your drum track to perfect timing.
I don't know any more about it than that at the moment.
You can try the old method, which was to get Reaper to slice your audio 
drum track into slices based on transcients, which is usually the kick 
drum, since it's the loudest drum most of the time.
Then, once you have the slices, you force them to align with the nearest 
grid line.
You can set the grid to thirty secondths, sixteenths, eighths, etcetera, 
in Reaper's quantize.
There is also a Snap to Grid setting in the options menu; where you can 
set the grid resolution.
Then; once the slices are on the proper timing;  you glue the slices 
back together.
You can understand the advantage of the new Stretch marks method, only a 
single step; if you have a reference rhythm audio track that is already 
in perfect timing.
I haven't done these yet, I've been concentrating on midi editing, not 
so much on audio editing.

If you use SWS  you can set a preset nudge value for up to 8 presets and assign them to keyboard shortcuts  This could allow u to move quicker through things.  Saved me some time when lining up some parts of a project where i was just sent all the files instead of the actual project files.  Also to save time, use the above method to edit each part you need to the grid, then make loops out of them. then u can stretch them for as many measures as you need and copy and paste them to various parts of the project.
