Optimizing Zooming defaults in REAPER w/ Hotkeys & Mouse Mods (Rapid-fire Reaper Tutorials Ep66)
Hey folks! In this episode, we're gonna be looking at a few preferences, Hotkeys and Mouse Modifiers all related to zooming! It's not the sexiest of all subjects, but the larger your projects get, the more important it becomes to be able to quickly navigate through them. I found a few of the REAPER defaults in this area to be less than perfect, and with some customization and a bit of SWS action you can really optimize your zooming!
