Reaper Basic Profile (MacOS)

Overview
REAPER Studio Essentials: Professional 45-Key Workflow Profile
Stop memorizing complex key commands and start making music. This professional workflow profile turns your Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 (15 Keys) into a high-end tactile console specifically for REAPER on macOS.
Designed by a professional mixing engineer, this pack focuses on the 45 most essential actions needed to record, edit, and mix—all logically grouped into three specialized pages to keep your momentum going.
Optimized for Your Hardware
Native Design: Perfect for the Elgato Stream Deck (15 Keys).
Scalable: Can be used with larger Stream Deck models (XL).
System Requirement: This profile is built for Mac only and uses native macOS shortcuts.
Note: This profile is not compatible with smaller (6-key) Stream Deck Mini models.
What’s Inside: The 45-Key Strategy
Home Page: Your "Command Center" for transport, recording, and global toggles like the Mixer (⌘M) and Metronome (C).
Editing Page: Surgical tools for Audio and MIDI—one-touch access to Split, Quantize, Normalize, and Mute Clip.
Views Page: A "Dashboard" for interface management, including the FX Browser, Media Explorer, and Screensets.
Custom Action Integration
To unlock the full potential of this profile, a few Custom Actions (such as Custom Glue and Auto Cross-Fade) must be set up in REAPER.
Easy Setup: I have included a link to download the .ReaperKeyMap files, or you can find them listed in the product overview photos.
Zero Friction: Once imported, your Stream Deck and REAPER will be perfectly in sync.
