Like... Open all the projects at once? Geeze... I'm not sure about this one since it is multiple .rp filles. I know a guy who has this answer but he is in Africa as of yesterday. I'll try to find out. Wait.. are they opened as sup projects within the main project? Cause if they are... I think I they will just open with the mother

Installed it. Looks like snapshot lets you save a mix and recall all parameters later. Would be nice to jump from one mix to another. Have not tried it in depth.
SWS rules. I rely on the auto color/labeling tool hard. I also like the Notes thing.

Ok, more experimenting with UAD plug-ins, in this case the Galaxy Tape /Space Echo.

If I have a track with a single hi hat hit in the middle of a song that I want to give a dub treatment to, why does the echo cut off so abruptly?

It seems like if the track length ran the length of a song (or just longer than the single hit I have), the delays would trail off more naturally depending on how I had the feedback set.

With the length of the track clipped to just ahead of the attack and decay, the echo cuts off after a few seconds and doesn’t ring like I want it. This is a pain because I cut the delay hit from a longer track, which means there are more hits I don’t want when I extend the length of a track.

What are my solutions here? These plugs have been fun, but really only to help rediscover uses for hardware I already have, or to make me realize I was missing something, like a dedicated line level pedal that I could do dub moves on. No way am I automating a knob turn and it shouldn’t be this hard.

This is a quirk of reaper. FXs will only process as long as the audio segment is there. I think it's that way to save processing power.

You can use a send and put the delay a separate track. Or you can insert silence [Insert>Empty item] after your hi hat and drag it as long as you need to keep the effect active.
