[Rwp] Creating Items

[Scott Chesworth]

Hey Jim,

To start answering your question with a question, what's the workflow
you'd use in Sound Forge to locate the parts you want to keep from
each source file? I'm asking in the hope that I (or someone else) will
be able to give you a rundown of how to do the same thing in Reaper,
thus negating the need for the Sound Forge, saving and importing
steps.
