[RWP] Has Anyone Tried Fingers Groove Tool?

[Indigo]

Standard audio quantization in Reaper was very awkward before.
It required separate steps of transcient detection; splitting between 
transcients; moving of splits,; then glueing the splits back together; 
with adjustments of crossfades between splits until glueing was 
seamless; all of which Propeller Heads Recycle did way back; in the 
nineties I think; automatically, very easily.
In Recycle you only needed to set transcient sensitivity; which 
determined how large the splits or slices should be; and Recycle did the 
rest by itself.
Acid Pro; Cubase; FL Studio; Sonar;  and others copied Recycle's method; 
but Reaper ignored Recycle  and did the same thing in separate 
troublesome steps.
I guess this SWS tool caught Reaper up to the norm in 2012; at long last.

I'll give it a go soon.
