@116 All tracks play at once by default. If you don't want that behavior, select a track and press F6 on it to solo it, which means only it will play. You can solo multiple tracks, so in a 5 track project, you could solo 1 and 3 and only those two would play, control F5 clears all solos and returns everything to playing. F5 can be used to mute a track. Muting is sort of the inverse as it will only mute the track you say, not everything else but that track.
Whenever you import a media file into reaper, it puts the cursor at the end of it. So first, hit w, or control home to go to the start of the project, then you can use the arrows to scrub. If you hear things but its too slow to be useful, hit - (minus), if its too fast, hit + (plus). These are on the main row and I guess I should say hit equals because technically plus does something different which I won't mention here because its not important.
@117 You would do that through the render dialog, which you can get through control alt R. However, the thing is, if you do that, then your work cannot be checked. I think the assignments are supposed to be uploaded in project form, so the instructor can go into your project and look at your settings. You can hit control S to do that. now, my thing is, I have specific paths set up under preferences. I don't remember what reaper does with stuff without having done that. You'll need the .rpp and the original media, which is why I recommend going into preferences with control P, finding the tree view usually with shift tab, then hitting home, making sure General is expanded, then going down to paths. If you create an initial Reaper directory somewhere on your HDD, then fill in all those paths as subdirectories of the main directory, your life will get a whole... lot... easier. Also in Windows, you will have to create the folder structure yourself, Reaper will complain about the path not existing when it tries to use it, so create the folder structure yourself, then fill all that into Reaper.
The other thing I would recommend doing is when you hit control S to save, there are options that you don't see in the tab order, so you need to use object nav or jaws cursor to get to them. The best way I've found to start is to tab to the file type then hit NVDA numpad 6. Depending on what version of Reaper you have, that may enter you into the checkboxes, or, like me, you have to use NVDA numpad 2 to drop into the next grouping, then use NVDA 4 and 6 to access that stuff. Let me see what I have checked, because there are a few options that will help you. Especially convert media, which will make the internet gods love you, because uploading everything as .wav is huge. Create subdirectory for project, oh yes, yes yes yes, do this, definitely do this, believe me, it'll make your life so much easier when you have to zip the thing up. Copy media into project directory using... Again, all the yes. Then convert media, check that, then the convert button, I'd select flac, just because it's lossless but still smaller than wave., then you can leave the rest of it be. I'd then save, and if you did everything I outlined here, you'll have a nice, organized folder structure where everything is easy to find and new projects will get their own subdirectory with their own media copied in for you.
