New to reaper and loving it, and beginning to play with tempo.
What I want to do is record a simple guide track of vocal or whatever and use that to determine the tempo of a song. Usually I just want to get a general guide for the tempo of the whole song (and discard the guide), but it would also be nice to tap in a map for songs that may want tempo variations... but I don't want to change the rate of the recorded tracks/items or their positions in time. I want them to remain at the rates and positions (in time) they were recorded at.
However, on the default settings, if I start tapping the tempo, then everything moves about and the rates or recorded tracks/items all change to fit the new tempo generated from my "tapping". The default seems to be for people wanting to use loops etc... but I use mainly naturally recorded material and just want to set the tempo for MIDI components, not recorded components.
I hope that makes sense.
