Ripple Delete MIDI Notes & Tips to design your own Custom Actions (Rapid-Fire Reaper Tutorials Ep53)

Hey folks!

We interrupt our SWS Resources Tutorial series to create a custom action asked by Liam on YouTube. This was a great question and I couldn't resist! I also wanted to give you some tips for designing your own custom actions! I'd love to make all custom actions forever, more video ideas for me, but also hopefully I can help you have some autonomy in this regard, the ol' "teach how to fish" method!

If you like the work I do, you can donate to me in the link below:

Every little helps, so even if you send a dollar or two my way, I’ll be eternally grateful to you.
