This is actually the first thing I've found that Reaper can do that Sonar can't. I'm really surprised that Sonar doesn't have that built into it. I mean, isn't the ability to layer sounds and instruments one of the initial attractions of MIDI, especially for for live performances? Now that I have your "ear", maybe you can tell me how to do something in Reaper that I haven't been able to figure out. How can you make a fresh MIDI track and immediately open the MIDI editor to start adding notes with the mouse or keyboard? I've only been able to get to the MIDI editor if I've recorded something on the track already.

It gets complicated and visually cluttered. Or edit 1 track delete the clones and reclone.

I think you have to first insert ( or add ) a clip ... even thoughit's an empty clip it will then allow adding notes.

Yep, that does it! I now see "Insert New MIDI item" in the menu, and that does just what you say. Thank you - I've been looking for that for quite a while. |
