Hey all,

I'm really new to both Reaper (and programming), my knowledge consists of how to use my plug-ins and how to say Hello World in three languages...not the most useful.

I'm looking for a way to batch process VO files the following way:

* Take a file in "Folder 1" and add it to a track
* Add a short file from "Folder 2" before it
* Add a short file from "Folder 3" after it
* Use a specific plug-in on all of it for an effect
* Export the new file to "Folder 4" with the same name as the file in "Folder 1"

Is any of this possible in Lua and Reaper? I know that is probably a stupid question to ask what the constraints of programming are...I just feel like if I can see it done (or be pointed in the direction) than I could learn to understand what I'm seeing in Lua...C++ is a little too much to expect to understand any time soon.
