Well, copying and pasting was easy, but I need help! I pasted the item and now its out of sync with everything else, it sounds too early or too late. Or, outlining the situation at the beginning, whatever someone else played is not quite on time. How to fix this?
When you delete part of a media item, or when you move an item, a gap is left on the track where the deleted or moved item used to be. With ripple editing, the material on the track is moved over to fill that gap. Reaper has the following options, cycled using alt plus p:
Again, if we do have one single item, the best course of action is to first split the item right at the places that we need (when correcting timing for individual notes it will be split into many small bits), then we can use the following commands, all based on the numpad keys (they work when it is enabled):
*ripple off: leaves a gap when you delete items and does not move items when you move just one of them.
*move selected items left or right: numpad 4 and 6 respectively
*ripple per track: moves the items, leaving no gaps between them when deleting items, and also moves other items together with the one you are moving.
*move selected items up or down one track: numpad 8 and 2 respectively
*ripple on: moves all of the items in the entire project moving other items together with the one you are currently moving.
remember that in REAPER, nudging is relative to the screen display. For example, if you are zoomed in horizontally very closely on an item, (800 thousand pixels per second for example) then nudging left or right will move or slide it backward or forward thru a much smaller unit of time than if the view was zoomed out to the full project at 23 thousand pixels per second.

When you delete part of a media item, or when you move an item, a gap is left on the track where the deleted or moved item used to be. With ripple editing, the material on the track is moved over to fill that gap. Reaper has the following options, cycled using alt plus p:
ripple off: leaves a gap when you delete items and does not move items when you move just one of them.
ripple per track: moves the items, leaving no gaps between them when deleting items, and also moves other items together with the one you are moving.
ripple on: moves all of the items in the entire project moving other items together with the one you are currently moving.
