Slip Edit Guitars in Reaper

How I slip edit in Reaper to correct the timing of poorly played guitar tracks. Also how to create a custom toolbar button to speed up the slip edit process.

In this video I use spectral peaks as a visual aid to slip editing. You can learn how to do that here:

Hi Stevie this is amazing! Very smart arming the split with crossfading on the left, I just had that mapped to a shortcut but it's waay better to just arm it. Keep it coming 💙

Thanks for this. Had no clue of that action in the SWS extensions.

Great tutorial! I have an issue that when I go to move a region left or right, it slides a copy of the track over itself. How do I stop that from happening? Shift stops it for the whole track, but not when I split. Usually work in logic, total newb here.

thanks for your video. may I ask how your wave forms have different colors? for example, transiets are blue and the notes are orange?
