Hi all. Got a couple exciting updates related to my music and music tech blog. The biggest of these is that I have launched a new series that will eventually become a free, full accessible Reaper course. If you're a complete beginner and want to get started with digital audio, this is the course for you. If you are switching to Reaper from another DAW, there's something here for you once the basic audio chapters are done. If you're a Reaper expert, there will also be something here for you, as all of the hands-on parts will include downloadable tracks on which you can practice and experiment. I'll be covering every level of Reaper use from basic mixing to advanced effects processing. I also have a couple of other courses still in the works that include a guide to reading music braille and guides to using some of the popular keyboard workstations out there. Links to the blog and Reaper course archives are below.

Very cool. I'll have to check out the Reaper tutorials. Are you covering how to do things from an accessibility point of view also? I've been using it pretty profisciently for several years now, but I know I'm doing some things the hard way. There's just so much to this DAW that I get overwhelmed every time I look at the manual or tutorials. Still the best DAW out there for people with visual issues that I've come across.
There will definitely be an accessible take to it. If you look at the most recent post (Part 1.3), you'll get some idea as to how it'll be presented. That one in particular is meant to be a quickstart guide for someone who has some experience with DAWs, so I'm not as detailed as I'll be in the more in-depth chapters that cover specific topics, but you'll see how I intend to cover things from an accessibility standpoint.
That's great. I'll certainly check it out. I thought of doing something similar, but don't really have the time or probably the expertees. I know a lot about reaper, just maybe like I say not the most practical ways of doing things.
