Time Signature Mapping in REAPER: From N00b to GOAT
Hey folks! This episode is for people who work with odd-timed rhythms and all that literal jazz!
Depending on the complexity of your music, you may have very little or a lot to need out of your DAWs time signature mapping features, and with a collection of tips, workarounds and custom scripts, REAPER will hopefully allow us to structure our rhythms in a way that is fluid and quick!
Check the blogpost of this episode to download my Time Signature toolbar, and as long as you have mpl's actions (which come with ReaPack but find a link below as well) then you're good to go! On the blog I'll also tell you how to import the icons and the toolbar to your install!
