[Rwp] Anyone successfully tracking midi in Reaper?

[Chris Belle]

Well haven't tried all the crazy permutations of reapers recording tool 
kit, but in sonar I tended to clean a spot before recording or punching 
in because that seemed to work better for my work flow.
so you could delete the offending item, or do a time selection delete,
or any number of things.
It's not gonna be exactly like sonar, it's crazy ass reaper after all, 
but at least we can lean it sonar friendly as much as possible for us 
poor challenged sonar retards who are trying to amend our ways and learn
how the real big boys do it 'grin'.
Yeh, slip editing for blind folks, fun times.
ha.
