Hi Vicki, Just doing a little experiment now. DSK Acoustic Keys does sound fine to me. Try some of the various presets from the drop down menu and see if they sound different.
Then if your still having an issue, download DSK Strings and choose "Pure Cello" or "Pure violin" they are fairly standard reproductions and should sound vaguely like the instruments in question.
If you're still having issues, make sure all your other applications closed down on the computer as Reaper is quite greedy. You can also look at disabimg some of your computers background tasks but that's a more drastic step.
I'm guessing I had other stuff open, so I'll test that theory after I close everything except Reaper and try again.
Now your Reaper midi tip so you can extend your drum tracks and don't have to keep cutting and pasting.
Put your mouse on the right edge of the midi box and a two way arrow will appear
hold the left mouse button down and drag to the right - You have just extended the midi box !
That is what I did, and it did extend the box, but it copied everything in the first box. If I extend the midi box before entering anything, whatever I enter in the first box also gets entered automatically in the rest of the boxes. If I move something in a different box, the same item moves in all the boxes. Maybe there's a setting somewhere that keeps the boxes from all being identical? ::looking:: Oh, yup! I found it. Turn off the thing that says something about looping. Strange. Now it doesn't snap to the even quarter beats like it did before I turned that off. Maybe it's a case of "I can't have everything at once?" Or maybe it didn't and I just thought it did.
And now, when I play it, the beat keeps on, even after it gets past where I have any beats on the track. There sure are a lot of fiddly things to think about....
Kam kam, ruz bi ruz (or something like that--means day by day, little by little)
Vicki
