Recording Automation in Reaper

[pseudonym]

So I'm pretty close to switching over to Reaper after months of having Live crash every 5 seconds. One thing that's been bothering me though is recording automation. Is it possible to record automation, say pitch bend, without recording over the notes? Live automatically did this, so I'm having a tough time figuring out why Reaper would do it any differently.

I'm not quite sure what the question is asking, but I'm pretty sure what you want is to right click on the VU meter and select "MIDI Overdub"

You can record automation in Reaper without effecting already recorded notes.
