Reaper errors regarding [idle]

[trg007]

I'm having the same problem.

"ERROR: MIDI Compiler: c:/users/fuelie79/appdata/local/temp/hmx13424b98\song\song.mid (PART GUITAR): [idle] at 1:1:000 occurs before beat 2"

It's kind of annoying and I don't know how to fix it. If someone can help, please do!

You should change that text event to [idle_realtime] and you'll be all set. The reason for not putting an [idle] at the very beginning is because you don't want the character bopping to the beat before the music has started.

So, in a typical example where the first downbeat of the song is at 3.1.0, you'd have an [idle_realtime] at 1.1.0 and a [play] at 3.1.0 (or an [idle] if that particular instrument does not start playing until later in the song, which is most common for Vocals).

You don't understand how amazing you are. Thank you so much!
