Adding region to frozen tracks? :(
Why can't you add regions, while tracks are frozen?
It lets you do it, but then once you unfreeze a track, those media edits are discarded.
The problem with just unfreezing first, is that I have most tracks frozen at the moment, and unfreezing every single one would probably slow everything down to a halt, and take forever to re-freeze.
The only way I can think of to do it, is:
1. Arrange the regions how I'd like them first
2. Move them back to where they were
3. Unfreeze all the tracks AND turn off the FX
4. Move the regions where I want them
5. Turn all FX back on
6. Re-Freeze all tracks while I go and do something else
7. Let's hope I didn't make a mistake moving regions!
Obviously it's too much work to do something simple.
Also, the way Reaper fills in the gap when you add a region before unfreezing, seems to be nonsense.
For a test, I just added a bar of empty space into my project. I unfroze one track. Reaper filled the new gap in that track by moving the *following* bar into that space. But then, replaced that following bar with empty space??
So the bastard knows where I want empty space, but still puts it somewhere else?
(By the way I'm not even going to go into what happens when I did this with inserting a region instead of an empty space... it just seemed to add media items from before and after it, layered on top of each other, and leaking into the next bar... I can't even explain what was going on TBH.)
So if you add a region/space to a frozen track, then unfreeze it, why is it so hard for Reaper to fill that new area with the correct media and automation?
