Thanks for your help. I just discovered an oddity in Reaper. The regular metronome in Reaper doesn’t let you change it to quarters or eights. But it’s really easy and actually more flexible making your own click on a regular audio track, so I’ve been doing that. Just out of curiosity, I turned on the regular reaper metronome and it was blasting out sixteen notes, twice as fast as an eight note click I created Once I figured how to set my few tracks’ rulers to time base instead of the default beat base, I was able to adjust the song tempo in Reaper to 73.5, which now had the regular metronome be on the 6/8 eighth notes. And at this setting, the 6/8 rhythms work fine and are in tempo. So moral of the story, next time I do a song in 6/8, I need to check to see if reaper’s regular metronome is on eight notes , even if I don’t use it.
