[Rwp] Reaper and EzDrummer

Thu Mar 5 13:04:32 EST 2015

Hi Matej,

I've started work on the podcast, and it looks like it'll be a nice
and tidy two part series. I'll talk about multitrack mixing and
getting tracks to do what you want.

Also, I forgot to mention I'll be covering how to add paths to new
libraries without sight using the registry. It's not as complicated as
it sounds :D

Thanks,
Alex
