[Rwp] Reverb, gain, and EQ plus rendering

[Justin]

Hi,

I think these questions would best be answered, in detale by direct 
conversation. I'd be happy to help so feel free to send me an email at 
justinmacleod at hotmail.com or follow me on Twitter @justinmac_84

For the time-being though, make sure you're using Osara. Osara has a 
built-in way to access metering which is really good. The peakwatcher 
dialogue can be access by pressing alt shift p.

there are other relevant actions which can be found by pressing f4 and 
typing osara into the edit box that will appear. Tab til you find a list 
of available actions, most of which have keyboard shortcuts assigned.

You can adjust the tempo by pressing alt enter, which will bring up your 
project properties, that is to say settings that govern your whole 
collection of tracks. Change the tempo from there, but be careful to 
make sure that it is set to time rather than beats position length rate 
or anything else. You will stretch or shrink your audio otherwise.

Increase the gain of each track by pressing alt cursor up with that 
track selected. Alt cursor down decreases gain.

to add effects, select the track to which you want them applied and 
either tab to search all the plug-ins you have available or type things 
in the edit box such as eq, verb, delay etc. Once you have added the 
effect you want by pressing enter on it, press escape to get out of that 
dialogue and press shift p, which wil bring up the parameters you can 
adjust for that effect.

Hope this helps,

Justin
