Customise Tool-tips/Mouse-over dialogues:
Right click on the buttons area > Customise
Select a button in the list
Select 'Text Button' and type the text you want to appear
Save
Revert the button to the icon you had before
Save
Now the button will have that text when your mouse hovers over it.
Works best with your own buttons.

Ctrl+Alt+Drag media items from the arraignment window to render them to where you drag them (desktop, folder, or a sampler that supports drag & drop samples to it)
also
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Drag will render the hole source file (not just the clip)
works with Midi & Audio

In the MIDI editor you can make the grid follow any subdivision. Example: To make a precise 8th-note septuplet starting on the first beat, divide the bar in 14 by putting 1/14 in the Grid dropdown. (If you want one of these tuplets starting on the second beat, divide the bar in 28 instead)
Could be a bit more intuitive. Still, its possible, which is not the case for some other hosts.
(took the liberty to add this to the google doc. Thus, your downloaded versions are already outdated )

check right click all the buttons and areas available.
then go to 'actions' - 'menu editor' and customize\optimize\reorganize all the contexts with actions like you need in your workflow. extremely useful!

make reaper the default editor
dont use an external editor in combination with reaper? set reaper as the default external editor and when you doubleclick a media item, it opens by itself in a new tab in reaper.
now if only reaper could do what sound forge does...

you can create group of tracks in grouping matrix and make all tracks included 'slaves' to avoid linking of any controls...
then assign hot key for this group in 'actions' for quick selection

A tip for storing cables
Don't throw cardboard cores from toilet paper or towel paper rolls.
They can help you storing your cables.
If you put the connectors at the same side of the tube, at the first glance you can identify your cable.

Great tip on Reaper opening itself as an editor, although I still find it limiting against SF - and yes I'm wishing and hoping that Reaper could do area selection and area processing like Sound Forge and do it all in the one program for a much faster workflow!

Eq Matching With Reafir
Don't know if it's been posted before. Using Reafir to match the EQ curve of a song or clip and apply it to another one. I guess most people will view subtract mode as basically a de-noiser, but it can be used to extract a spectrum curve from the audio itself.
1- Put Reafir in subtract mode and click "Automatically build noise profile" and let Reafir analyze the song or clip.
2 - Unclick the checkbox and switch to compress mode. Reafir will retain the analyzed curve.
3- Modify the curve if needed in Precise Edit Mode
4- Hold Ctrl to lower or raise the threshold

If memory serves, the second hit on the spacebar does select *all* the files and 'keeps' them. I don't think you're actually double clicking; it also works if you wait between the spacebar hits. And, as I recall, a third hit on the spacebar will start Reaper *playing* from the beginning of what you just recorded.

Often interface shortcuts come from legacy applications or "competition," while others are created by the development team. Can you offer any insight in a global sense where these keyboard functions come from? For example are some of them from any application environments we might know?
s and shift + s is common in video editors...so a possible answer from an engineer or interface designer might be "video editors, wave editors, pro tools multi-track UI...etc.
This might open the eyes of some of us who for now expect to have to discover them 1 by 1.
Thanks

1- Define a Time selection to edit
2- Shift + S (Split items at time selection)
3- Shift + F; select FX, click + drag to Clip
4- Right click over Item/Apply track FX to items...

Wow, Right in time! Yesterday night I was struggling about how to do that same thing, getting FXs into items (kinda Object Editing in Samplitude -"Items" are called "objects" in Sam-). I'd swear I saw screenshots before showing that this is possible in Reaper. I just came around this morning looking for some guidance here... and I just found it in the very first post I read! Perfect timing! Thanks so much, Reaperto!
Greetings from Madrid.

Thats great and soo close to area selection, but the annoying bit is that it keeps re-rendering and creating new files. In programs like Sound Forge and Protools the "true" area selection means you don't have to split/or glue back the file part your working on, and as the FR' votes reveal would be so much more intuitive...
Its good but seems clumsy at the moment..
I think for true sound design it needs real area selection and processing, but until then this is a 'basic' workaround

I just tried it. Yes, it's only a turnaround. I'm mixing a project in Reaper at this time and while I'm quite comfortable and happy with the mixing workflow I constantly miss the object editor I use in Samplitude all the time. In other hand, automation/envelopes is just killer and a breeze to use. I always hated the tricky and limited Sam's automation.

My most used (although I can't remember which are default and which I've customised - but you get the idea, and they may already have appeared on the thread, I'm going thread-blind).
TCP
shift+up/down - select track
\ - zoom in selected track vertically
alt+\ zoom out selected track vertically
ctrl+L - set time selection to selected item
, - set left locator (linked to time selection)
. - set right locator ( " " )
/ - remove locators ( " " )
MIDI editor
alt+left/right - select next note
ctrl+left/right/up/down - move selected note
Basic but vital.
I've set up a usb number pad as a remote control and using macros have set up three buttons as:
Record
Stop recording/save all recorded files
Stop recording/delete all recorded files
This allows me to perform basic recording functions without standing over the laptop. Extension cables exist so I could in theory be in the next room if necessary.

Jeez, nobody's added to this for a while. Here's one I just discovered. When you're in the media explorer, you can highlight a portion of whatever it is you're previewing, right-click, and "insert selected portion into project" and wham, it's inserted at your cursor in the project. Just the time selection from the medial explorer! Pretty nice if you are searching a longer media file for soundbytes or whatever.

And here's another one that's dirt stupid: I wanted to know exactly how many hours of audio somebody had sent me. I grabbed them all in Windows Explorer, dragged them onto REAPER, right-clicked on the time ruler, told it to display in time increments and Bam! Ten hours and 30 minutes divided between some 40+ mp3 and wav files imported into REAPER in seconds, all for the humble purpose of adding up the total time. Offhand I don't know of a quicker way of doing this.
REAPER is like the multi-purpose tool for anything audio.
