MIDI 201: Transpose from Scale to Scale in Reaper (Rapid-Fire Reaper Tutorials Ep44)
In this episode I want to show you how to transpose from one scale to another scale, or from chord to chord, without needing to know a great deal of music theory. Obviously we don't need a window to do a direct transpose (up or down a few semitones) but with the transpose window you can do some more interesting stuff!
