Making a Time Selection In Reaper
If you want to make a time selection in Reaper, you may have discovered that you end up moving audio around on the tracks instead. This can be really frustrating. It is not intuitive. You can do it if you don't hover your cursor over the tracks, picking a spot above or below or even between the tracks. Otherwise all that happens is stuff moves left or right in the tracks.
So here is a way to allow you to select a section of your project with the cursor over your a track or audio item, and still be able to move the audio around on the track the same way as before. It's easy to add a mouse-modifier so that all you have to do is hold down a keyboard combo while dragging. This should make things easier and more clear, and cause less swearing :-). Or at least less frustration.
