[RWP] Recording Audio Problem solved

[Indigo]

True, Colin, when it's written out it sounds complicated.
Maybe in another daw you might just click on record audio, and a track 
would be inserted for you, and you'd find a .wav file there when you 
finished recording.
Somebody compared Reaper to a patchbay, with hundreds of cables and 
connectors, anything can go to anything, which lets you do everything 
you can imagine, but you have to take hold of each plug and hook it up 
manually.
