hello everybody,
i'm rather new to reaper but liking it very much already!
The macro possibilities look very interesting to improve workflow.
i'm looking for help to create a macro(s) that does the following:
i have a drumtrack and recorded a guitarriff over it that i played for example 20 times. I choose the best loop by setting the timeselection.
ideal macro (in normal terms
:
* cut out the selected loop en delete all the rest
* create a tiny fade in and fade out to avoid clicks
* put the loop where i originally began to record and paste it 10 times then select all items so i can move easely.
macro that i got so far :
* item: trim items to selected area
* item: render items to new take
* move cursor to end of time selection
* copy item
* paste item
problems:
* i really want to delete the source from the harddrive and just keep the selected loop.
* there are no fades
* start of copies should be at beginning of song
* item is only copied one time (could use ctrl-d macro to duplicate as many times as i want)
probably there is a much better way to achieve what i want
using autocrossfade and a bunch of other stuff that i don't know about yet
any ideas to help a noob?
