<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Yeh, reaper seems to take everything you do with it
as an undo action.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Well, I guess there are worse ways to waste time
than playing with reaper, and we might actually get somewhere.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I can atleast use it for certain things
now,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>that normalize to common gain feature will be handy
for tracks which vary wildy in dynamic range, and where a compressor isn't
desired.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Or rather where a compressor used aggressively to
level the audio would be too much for some parts and not enough for
others.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>There's a feature in reaper called split
dynamically, I'm not sure what that does, but maybe it makes a guess on where to
split audio, ofcourse you can always do it by hand, but if it works well and
makes inteligent guesses on how to split audio then using that normalize to
common gain feature, you could really save time and not have to do too much to a
track to say ride a vocal, or for pidcasts of varying amplitude.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We have things like the levelator,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>but it tries to compress and do a gate thing which
you might not want sometimes, sometimes you just want bits of audio all
normalized to a common peak,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>and sonar doesn't have a feature like this other
than to split each clip and normalize it separately which is
tedious.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hey, did you guys realize that Undo, control+z,
in reaper simgply reverses the action of the last key you pressed, even if it
did nothing to the project data?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What is weird about that to me is, for
example, use alt+upArrow a few times to increase the volume while transport is
stopped. Nothing got changed in the file, just a local
setting. The first control+z, just undoes the most recent alt+upArrow.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I thought it just applyed to recordings, or file
operations.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Apparently Not so. You can twiddle
the track volume setting while stopped, using a sequence that involves
control+z. So, when I was trying to undo my automation recordings, I was
confused. I saw a track envelope item go bye, as I did control+z over
and over, but I also saw lots of alt+upArrows, tons and tons of them, and I
thought I had to undo all those two. But, I now suspect that those were
just getting recorded in addition to the change that was actually
recorded in the track. And, all I really needed to undo was the
track envelope event.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Reaper keeps me busy just poking and
prodding. Who has time to be creative. <grin></FONT></DIV>
