This applies to random develo...

What's cooking - Week 10, 2023

This post is not about a plugin but a Reaper Script. I wrote this script to change the project sample rate to the same rate as the selected media item in Reaper. I often forget to check the sample rate of incoming mix files for mastering and it is so annoying when I realize halfway through that I...
