[RWP] how to do audio quantizing with reaper?

[hadi]

Hello guys

Thanks for replying back
First, regarding TheOreoMonster's post.
I'm a DAW newb, i have no idea how actually to navigate within a tracks. 
and also, i don't know what are items and grids. Do i need to actually 
cut my drum track to peaces or something?

@indigo, i was hoping for an automated solution, i will have to check 
strech markers out.
However there's a problem and it seems that i completely suck at working 
with reaper. i have no idea what shortcuts to use to move the cursor 
within a track, and position the markers and time selections. i tried to 
figure out also what grids are but couldn't find anything.
Do you have any ideas that what documents should i study for these? i 
tried googling some but they all lead to  amazon book, and payed courses.

Thanks.
Cheers
Hadi
