Faster And Better: Reaper Podcast Editing Workflow (an almost livestream)

I've been using Reaper as my daily editing software for nearly a decade. In this video, I show my tricks for editing my podcast (HBMpodcast.com). Timestamps below 👇 There are three main parts to the video, including basic reaper customizations, creating a podcasting template, and a tape labelling workflow that I find to be incredibly helpful for organizing documentary projects. This material is intermediate level, so if you're looking for help with the basics, you can get a lot of those from watching my series called "Reaper for Radio" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpwX6qRvK2c731EeVQ5wwNVovJeq7si3K or by sending me an email about tutoring: www.jeffemtman.com Thanks for joining me on this.
