[RWP] In Reaper, how do you organize your song's build?

[David P Shortland]

Hi & Greetings from Summer in Queensland

I would agree whole heartedly with Scott about Folders.

Tis really a nice way to manage trax, keep like minded instruments and 
anything associated with that instrument all close together.

It also helps sometimes in E Qing Compression and FX...

Safe Prosperous & Happy New Year

Oh, and folders, get into folders! For those annoying situations where
you have to have a bunch more tracks than you'd like, you can often
group them into a folder and pretend that the world isn't about to
overwhelm you :P
