Merry Christmas REAPER fans!

Cockos released version 5.11 today with a ton of new features and improvements. Most notably the Subproject feature which can take items or tracks and moves them to a new project. The project is quickly rendered as an audio file and placed into the original project. You can double-click the item to open the subproject. You’ll see this and all the rest in the What’s new in reaper 5.11 video coming soon.
