[RWP] Changing tempo and selecting tracks/parts of tracks?

Sun Jun 23 10:45:26 EDT 2013

I keep on pasting useful notes into my word processor and saving them, 
so the collection continues to grow.
I'll gather all the notes on Reaper together and somehow send them to 
any location, as soon as someone makes it clear where.
It's not lack of energy from eating mostly vegetables, Jim, it's boredom.
I tried to read the NVDa manual last night and fell asleep, almost fell 
out of the chair.
Same thing would happen if I tried sorting through all those notes, 
which is in the gigs in size at this stage.
Now, give me something brand new. like Novation AutoMap, and I can go 
for hours on it.
Same with making a new bamboo flute.
It's more interesting to me to make a simple bamboo flute, with the 
unknown potential to be amazing; than playing  a famous name brand synth 
that I've already tried everything in.
Who knows, this could be the ultimate  flute I didn't find so far, one 
with the overtone series that's in between the usual overtone series, 
the yet undiscovered one.
I think I mentioned the shakuhachi I almost bought from a wandering 
flute maker, that I could blow instantly, the moment I picked it up.
My friends were waiting in the car, tooting the horn, impatient to get 
on to the  next tourist attraction, and couldn't wait for me to decide 
on that particular flute.
Oh, come on, they said, he'll be here when we return this way.
Well, he wasn't, and I never found another shakuhachi like that one.
Looking for it, trying to make it, hoping to find the as yet 
undiscovered; is what keeps me going.
