[Rwp] Using envelope points with ReaAccess

[Justin]

Hi,

I'm teaching someone who is particularly keen to use ReaEar but find the 
keymap difficult, understandably. However, there are two great things 
about ReaEar, which I do really like. What I want to do ideally is to 
see if I can create a keymap including macros that will enable Osara and 
ReaEar to function concurrently so I can have the best of both and offer 
it to others who are interested. This should be theoretically possible 
since one can enable and disable ReaEar.

What I like about ReaEar is the way it handles metering, since it 
enables you to monitor a track and the master simultaneously and also to 
press j and k to get a very rough picture of the wave forms rms. I find 
this particularly useful when determining how to set a noise gate etc.

Also, ReaEar incorporates customisable multi-press functionality, which, 
given that we're running out of keys, is brilliant. I have configured 
some keys with up to six presses, meaning that we can use the keyboard 
to do so much more. For example, I have it set so that one press of f 
works in the familiar way but a double press brings up the input effects 
chain dialogue etc.

Hope this makes sense,

Justin
