<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>To further comment, this is perhaps because of the
fade ins and outs applied to the audio just as if it were split
audio,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>so it's simulating broken audio even if it's really
not, but automation is bent audio and by that nature of riding a fader either a
real one or a virtual one just sounds smoother, even if it's snapshots taken
ofaa fader position,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>it's just nicer in some cases.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But even so if I use my z key and watch where I
split, it's pretty darn close.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>When I did my de-essing manually, I thought it was
amazing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And to split out that much audio that quickly
it would have taken a lot longer in sonar.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My guess is that, when you split an audio item,
nothing actually happens to the signal. An item is just a set of
control parameters, And, if two adjacent items refer to adjacent parts
of the audio file, I but there isn't even any cross fading going on.
It's like me telling you to count from 1 to 3, and then count from 4 to
10. I wont' hear you jump from 3 to 4. Your brain will
concatenate automatically, and you'll count from 1 to 10, and I'll believe
you.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Well, at least with item based editing in
reaper, you don't mess up anything.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It bothers me that we have to split audio to
do things, even though it works, and reaper's crossfades are very smooth,
it's still technically not cool to have to tear apart your audio just to
do a little automation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Or get around, in other words, to my
engineer's head it's better to bend it than break it, even if you can fix
it prety good.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Just in midi, this concept will work better,
because it won't be necessary to cross-fade broken audio
events.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It's just a matter of grouping then more than
any physical changes to the actual data.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi & Greetings from Down Under...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Not as far as I have been abel to discover....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It always seems to start at the beginning of the Event
List...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can use Page Up & Page Down keys to jump 7 events at a
time...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, the work around that I do for this one is if I need to
edit something that is say 16 bars into a Item.... I just do a split
just before the section I wish to edit and Voila when the new Item is
opened you are right there...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The more I use REAPER ... the more I am getting to know how this
Item based Editing worx...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>...and liking it...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It does not matter to me whether a Trak has One Item, several items
or several thousand items,... at any given time you can Glue all the
Items together and each part retains what you have edited and you can
start again...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also just as a quick mention, which some of us may need to get our
heads around, is the concept of not having a dedicated SubGroup area....
the flexibility that REAPER allows by being able to put anything
anywhere and being able to route anything to anywhere is simply in a
word ... NICE!!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway... on with the Editing...</DIV>
