[Rwp] Time stretching

[theoreomonster at reaperaccess.com]

Select the part of the item that has audio (leaving the blank part unselected) and then there should be a command to trim item to selection thus getting rid of the blank part.

I make a selection and then split that selection to create an item. I select the item I'd like to time stretch. I press shift F2 to open media item properties. I set the rate to 2 then press enter. The item now plays twice as fast, which is great, however the length of that item is still the same, so I now get more audio than I'd like. to try and fix this I glued that item. This time changing the item speed looped the item twice. I'd fixed the residual audio problem but now got a different problem as a reward for my efforts. Still feeling optimistic, I went back into media item properties, and found a loop option that was checked. I unchecked it, changed the rate to 2, pressed enter, and held my breath, ready to proclaim myself a genius for having remedied the issue. The item played twice as fast, which is great, but then there wa!

I tried experimenting with toggling ripple on and off, but nothing would work. So I had a little swear at my computer - it doesn't mind, it's used to it - and decided to email you good people in the hope that someone might be able to help with this irksome little problem.
