[Rwp] Fading part of a track

[Chris Belle]

Much to love about reaper, but the way it handles automation is not one 
of my great delights  'grin'.

I would say your best bet is probably with a control surface,
but you'll have to write all your values out to the end because reaper 
has this anoying habbit of popping back to the original level,
like a rubber band instead of sensibly staying where you left it till 
you want it to move again.

You can set the return speed to a really high number so it won't change, 
I'm told there's a setting to defeat this behavior, but the person can't 
find it,
and I haven't found it yet.

There are some settings you can bind to your keyboard, your qwerty
keyboard, and others don't seem to bind to change automation, and I 
haven't figured out snapshots yet.

Most use the split items methodand set the volumes of each split to 
where they like, a bit of work if you want a moving fade, but doable.
You can set your cross-fades to act like you wish,
either present or not at all,
and I am not the most knowledgeable reaper cat here, so others feel free 
to chime in and help.

I'm still primarily a sonar man, but slowly getting my head around reaper.
