In this tutorial, we're going to cover a Reaper feature that's going to speed up your sound design work flow *significantly* and that's the media explorer. Basically, it's a built-in tool that Reaper has that allows us to quickly organize our sound effects library - which is pretty darn essential for game audio work.

Yes, plenty of other DAWs have similar features to this one, and you can also use an external app like Soundly, AudioFinder, or BaseHead, but I prefer using the built-in Media explorer. It's just so much faster to keep it all within Reaper itself.

Oh, and yes, Thane the dog makes a triumphant return in this video as well, so nothing to worry about there.

We're also using the default Reaper 6 theme for this series!
