Let's learn scripting in REAPER: Series Overview Ep00 (with Leandro Facchinetti)
Welcome to a new series, in which I, a n00b, will attempt to learn scripting in REAPER and invite you along on the journey! We will be seeking help from REAPER Pros and consult many different resources.

 Our sensei for the first two episodes is Leandro Facchinetti, without whom this series would not be possible, so make sure to check out his channel, subscribe, and download his repository as well!
