Aaron Cendan's ReaScripts for REAPER

These scripts were written to add additional functionality to the digital audio workstation REAPER. As a sound designer and programmer with a concentration on audio for games, most of these scripts are tailored specifically towards a game audio workflow. If you would like to read more about the development of these scripts or some of the other projects I have worked on in the past, feel free to check out my website!

All of the scripts in this repository can be imported directly in Reaper by using the ReaPack REAPER extension, the free scripts/packages download manager made by cfillion. I strongly recommend setting up ReaPack to install and use these scripts.
