Does REAPER have.....VOL. 2

alas! no... not yet. greetings .t

Give Schwa/Spectro a try. I've done a fair bit of both pencil and spectral fixing as a dialog editor and although the pencil is more convenient in Pro Tools it's mostly because other options are much less convenient. Spectral editing allows me to quickly see the click or aberrant noise that I hear and then silence it without affecting surrounding audio. I actually use Adobe Audition for this usually but using Spectro means that the edits are adjustable down the road if necessary as well. Scrub may be fast at zeroing in but it's nowhere near as fast as spectral. Just my 2cents.

I thought of the Wavelab thing after I posted. That sounds like it should work....it would still be a nice on-board feature though. I'll check it out. Thanks for the thoughts, guys! [dt]

I asked about the very same thing some time ago and was told that they were going to add internal sample editing features in release 3.00. I am baffled that this isn't considered a pretty big feature to leave out. In PT or any of the other big DAWs you can do it. I always get little clicks and pops that reveal themselves during mixing. Having to open the wav in an external editor and track down a click takes a very long time (compared to just double clicking an object and pencilling in a repair). One of the solutions suggested to me was to zoom in on the offending samples and draw in a little volume envelope that silences the click and render the audio. That is the easiest workaround for me.

Yes, it's handy to have for fixing things. I don't use it very often but when I need it it's handy. +1

^^ Yes, isn't that always destructive editing when you export to another app, edit and then bring it back? If so, I would humbly suggest that if Reaper has no plans to include it's own sample editor that it optionally allow the user to send a copy of the audio file (or copy of the section to be edited) to an external editor where you can edit the copy and then replace/overlay the original on the timeline with the edited copy. Otherwise... the edits are permanent on the original audio file? I for one would never want that.

@lawrence: I'm pretty sure sample editing is always permanent and destructive....it is in PT and SAMP, anyways. This isn't much of a problem though, as most folks are likely to have a backup copy of anything that matters to them. For what it's worth, I have edited many times this way and have yet to feel the need to undo later. For this kind of editing, it's pretty much always been "yes or no" for me. [dt]
