[RWP] Sidechaining in Reaper 4x

[Scott Chesworth]

In the I/O dialogue here Drew, it's possible to keep hitting down
arrow on that add send combobox. Each press of down arrow skips to the
next track, and if a number is spoken after the track name, it's to
let you know how many existing sends are going there. The only catch
is that if you pause for longer than a second or so on a track, Reaper
will assume that's where you want a send to go. I saw a setting in
prefs that'd stop that from happening, just haven't gotten around to
going looking for it again yet.
