• A senior capstone project I worked on with some classmates in school. Full code can be found here: https://github.com/smissner/REAPERVersionController

Overview

• The contents within this repo allows the Digital Audio Workstation, Reaper, to behave like GitHub.
• Think of it as "version control at a musician's fingertips... Or keys 🎹."
