So obviously I know how to use automation in Reaper, but there is an aspect of automation that I wonder if its possible.
So I have a song that uses a single synth. The song is very sectional, so the synth has a completely different sound in each section. I've managed to find the sound I want in each section using the presets with a bit of modifications. The problem? How do I use automation to switch between presets? Is it even possible? I mean, hypothetically I could just use automation to change every setting by hand, but that would be a nightmare and take on a lot of time.
Would a much easier alternative just be to load different synths and activate each one at the appropriate section?
