<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I think this multiselect mode is part of the
mystery.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I don't have time a t the moment to poke further, and I
don't use reaper enough to get to be expert.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>But, the behavior is quite different when multiselect mode
is on. What's bugging me at the moment is that I don't know how to
turn it off, once it is on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> So, I can't quite characterize the exact behavior
between the two modes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Shift+space seems to put you in that mode. It
doesn't select the current track.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>But, it puts you in a mode where you can select
non-contiguous tracks. Arrowing to a track when multiselect mode is on
doesn't select that track. You have to press shift+space to select
it. And, as you arrow up and down, you should hear the word, selected,
when you find a track that is selected. Press shift+space to togggle the
selection.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>However, when mutiselect mode is not on, I think you
can do the shift+downArrow thing to select more contiguous tracks. But, if
you up and down arrow in that normal mode, you will discard all track selection
except the currently focused track. Up and down arrowing in multiselect
mode does not unselect anything by itself.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I dont' know what touched means, except that I've been
occasionally told that I'm touched. I didn't know what that meant
either.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>So guys, how do you turn multi-select mode
off?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Hi.<BR>Has anyone else experienced inconsistent and unpredictable
behaviour in Reaper? I can't get anything done re copy paste, or learn from my
mistakes because it doesn't behave the same way twice in a row. Normally
this basic editing function takes 5 minutes to learn in other audio
editing progs, yet I haven't been able to get past it in days using reaper.
Sometimes it will select items using control right arrow, or control shift
right arrow for multiple selection, and sometimes it wont, and I have no idea
what's changed. Whether or not the track itself is selected doesn't make a
difference. I'll be selecting items to copy and paste with no problems, then
without warning it'll stop selecting them and make it impossible to copy
anything. While training mode is on, pressing shift down arrow says something
like next track while keeping previous tracks selected, but it doesn't work,
if I start at track 1 and press shift down arrow, all I get is a no entry
thunk, and so I have to down arrow and then shift space
everything.<BR>Sometimes after pressing shift space it says something like
multi selection mode on, and sometimes it doesn't, and I have no idea what
that means, or what I did differently. Even if I could get it to behave
consistently for copy paste, I imagine it would be infuriating to have to
select one item at a time, one track at a time for 10 tracks or more with
punch in overdubs etc. Sounds like a nightmare scenario to me. If it were just
guitar, it wouldn't be such a big deal because I could pretty much play in one
take with just a few punched overdubs maybe, but keyboard stuff, I have to
cheat by quantizing, copying an pasting.<BR>Hell knows what reaper's like for
more complex functions. Doubt I'll ever get to find out. And this is
what I'm curious about, is it just me that finds reaper counterintuitive
and super frustrating? Aside from just hitting record and doing everything in
a single take, I can't see how this program could be efficient enough to
make recording a smooth experience.<BR>Apologies for the whinge, and I really
do appreciate the help I've been given. I don't regret giving cockos 38 quid
of my hard earned, but I think it's back to Sonar for me.<BR> <BR></DIV>
