[Rwp] [RWP] Silencing audio and a synth VST question

[Scott Chesworth]

S makes a single split where you currently are. Shift+S splits
according to the selection, so if you've marked the beginning and end
of your selection already, you can create an item between those two
points with a single keystroke. Does that make sense?
