Tempo Mapping and Charting.

[GeneralGilliam]

Hi, I'm the lead guitarist in my band and we want to chart some of our own songs. Only problem is we don't know how to use Reaper. I have split audio files of all the instruments, but I don't know how to create the tempo map or *ACTUALLY ADD THE ACTUAL NOTES* I have looked everywhere and cannot find a good tutorial or even a decent explanation of how to do these. Can anyone help me?

PS: Im using Reaper 3.06

Thanks, but I already tried there and got lost half way through. I have never used Reaper before so I basically need step by step instructions.

What David said

Alright, I guess Ill get the hang of it eventually. But how do I put down the gems, overdrive, and all that stuff?

"All that stuff" is: Step 2

I'm not trying to be dickish, but you are making it hard

stick to it - it confused me at first but once you get the hang and get over the duanting feelings of F-ing up, it's fine.

sorry if Im being a complete nub (which I know I am) but Im new to all this so, have patience

So basically, press Q at the beginning of each measure?

[ethicalpaul]

Yes, to insert a tempo map event at the current location, you press Q

That type of question is answerable. It's the "how to do all that stuff" ones that can't really be answered in a forum post.

Alright, thank you. Just one last nubtacular question remains... I re-read the stuff in the link provided by david and I still don't get how to get to the screen where you place the gems. I am in reaper, I finished my tempo map and I have the files "guitar.ogg drums.ogg and song.ogg" impoted. Where do I go from here.
