Those of you familiar with REAPER are probably aware it subscribes heavily to the notion "there's more than one way to skin a cat". This is sometimes a source of frustration for new users who are overwhelmed by all the menu items and endless customization. But I think once you realize you have the power to tailor the entire workspace to your needs it gets a lot harder to go back to other DAWs.

I never cease to discover new features and alternative workflows, which certainly makes this one of my favorite programs to explore and tweak. Recently I started taking advantage of REAPER's routing to send multiple MIDI channels on one track to various instruments on other tracks. Each channel corresponds to an instrument, so instead of having separate MIDI clips on each track (which have to be edited in separate windows), I can just create one MIDI clip and work with the entire harmonization/voicing in it's own window:

REAPER's MIDI editor is rather underrated, in my opinion. It's filtering and display settings are second to none, like the rest of the program it's really easy to fit it to your needs. For example, you can use the dropdown in the top right corner to enable the channel filter and work on one channel at a time, or click the filter button for more fine-grain control. The color dropdown in the bottom right allows you to color by channel to more easily distinguish voices.

Anywhoo, this is just a blurg of a blog. If none of this concerns you, laugh it off jovially, go do that voodoo that you do, and proceed to move along citizen.
