Rendering items with extra handles Pro Tools-Style (Rapid-fire REAPER Tutorials Ep77)
Hey folks! In this episode we're recreating another Pro Tools feature, the ability to render audio clips with handles. REAPER has a destructive editing function called audiosuite, that you can use to bake FX into an audio file, and it allows to render a slightly longer file than the clip, so that you can trim it and untrim afterwards if needed.
REAPER is non-destructive, and it also allows us to add FX to audio items without having to render at all. This is totally great, but with some plugins like RX, they will work much better rendering your items offline vs. real-time, so let's make a custom action to add these handles to our clips!
