Having the same tracks with volume and pan windows open in Reaper makes things overly "cluttered" which slows editing down to an inefficient pace for me.Īudacity also uses volume automation points, but in a slightly different "visual" way - otherwise it works the same. In the Audacity screenshot (I posted above) I can easily jump back and forth between tracks, tweaking and fine tuning things quickly. Just having a lot of separate track windows open for editing in Reaper makes it harder to navigate between several tracks when attempting to blend them together. Like I implied earlier, some may not not agree that editing in Audacity is easier - but I found that opening up multiple track windows for editing in Reaper to be far more difficult for me. Each individual instrument can be put on their own individual track for easier editing and blending, then mixed and imported back into Reaper.Īnyway, I find it much easier to edit and manipulate certain parts this way myself, but obviously others might not. This also works great for drum parts or multiple instruments in an orchestra, for instance, to create a more "realistic" feel to virtual instruments. It's much easier and less cluttered to do this in Audacity than Reaper and I can mix these down into a separate stereo track when satisfied with the overall sub-mix: All the rest of the tracks are audio bits surgically placed at various spots - with volume and panning carefully adjusted - designed to pop in and out in order to make things more "interesting": In the screenshot below, the top stereo track is the main recording mix, which represents the majority of the tracks in this song (recorded using Reaper, then "Rendered" to a stereo WAV file). I like using Audacity for separate "bus" editing.
