[RWP] introduction and a question?

[Joe Paton]

Hello,

I'm new to reaper rea access and this list, so if I may can I pose 
what I hope is a couple of simple questions?

I want to record multiple tracks of guitar parts and vocals.  So I 
record shal we say the first vocal track on track 1, then the second 
vocal on track 2.  I set the metronome to give me a count on each 
track, and I then want to listen to the first track play, while the 
second is recording.  When I do this, the second track is slightly 
behind the first track;  I know I can nudge but that takes time i'd 
rather get it down in that particular take along with the third and 
subsequent harmonies.

I would also like takes to overwrite the previous rather than be 
placed ahead of the previous take.

So when i've achieved this, how will I drop the four parts on to 1 
track, then add the various instruments, guitar bass and what ever 
else I fancy and place the final mix in to an audio file?

Hope you can help with all this stuff.

Many thanks,

Joe Paton
