If you've ever been sent a project that was not recorded to a click, you know how difficult it can be to play along or add time based effects or virtual instruments.
Fortunately, REAPER has a method to create a manual tempo map and adjust the grid to fit the performance, instead of the other way around. This is great if you want to preserve the original performance!
Please note that this video is much longer than my usual, and some of it is more "fly on the wall" style where you would be watching me work without narration. Make use of the chapter markers if you need to skip around. There is PLENTY to learn!
