I'm running into a minor pain point in my workflow with Reaper, and I'm wondering if anyone knows a keyboard shortcut for it?
A process I'll do pretty often is put a whole bunch stuff into the render queue so I can get the PC processing in the background while I do something else. Usually, it's soloing or muting one track at a time from a project. (e.g. I record band practice and I want to send everybody each song as a) the full band mix b) the full mix minus themselves and c) themselves isolated)
So the flow is
ctrl+alt+click mute to mute a single track
ctrl+alt+r to open the render menu
type the name (the cursor is automatically in the file name field, conveniently)
click "add to render queue"
ctrl+alt+click solo to solo the single track
ctrl+alt+r to open render menu
type name
click "add to render queue"
Repeat
The problem here is that this is much more mouse activity than I would prefer. Moving the mouse between the mute and solo buttons is very little motion, but moving it from mute to ATRQ back to solo back to ATRQ is a lot. I would much rather be able to hit ATRQ from the keyboard. Anybody know a shortcut?
Screenshots of the sample process:
(Seriously, this may sound trivial, but this is about 1 second worth of time per export X 5 band members X 2 exports per person X 10+ songs per practice X 50 practices a year... Not to mention the RSI concerns)
