I recorded a 12 measure string midi piece.
Then I copied it and moved the recorded section onto another track, out of the way.
Then I pasted it into the original string track. As I had made a 'new midi item' into the track that is 500 measures long, long enough for the entire orchestra piece I'm writing.
Problem is that the pasted recorded midi notes once pasted into track doesn't play at bar 1. Instead it always begins playing at bar 13, the bar after the end of the recorded piece length, which was 12 bars.
What's wrong with Reaper and midi in this instance please?
Obviously it can be done and I'm doing something wrong.
Any hints?
