[RWP] Update on record arm.

[Kevin Reeves]

Hey indie and all.

First of all, I never meant to give off the vibe that I was somehow 
sitting around and pointing out faults of reaper. Not sure where that 
whole thing came from.

Second of all, in Pro Tools, the default action is to turn monitoring on 
for a track when it is armed. In sonar, there is a specific keystroke 
that allows for the same actions to be performed.

Because I'm dealing with tons of tracks when laying down vocals, ie 24 
tracks of backing vocals, I need a quick way of navigating to a track, 
hitting a key, having it arm and monitor, recording my phrase, hitting 
said key again and moving to the next track: rinse and repeat.

And with a bit of poking around, I found that reaper actually performs 
this task quite nicely. The only thing I had to do was set the initial 
state of the monitoring on the track, and it could be toggled on and off 
with the arm hotkey all day long.
I went ahead and reset my arm key to shift r, as that's the key used in 
PT, and the muscle memory is so entrenched that my workflow isn't at all 
hindered.

Now, all I need to do is research the best way to set all the tracks in 
a given session to my preferred monitoring state, and I'll be all set.

I think reaper is an exciting and amazing daw, and I plan to record an 
entire album in it. But to do that, I need to take the time necessary to 
set up my workflow so I'm working as fast and efficiently as I do in 
Sonar and Pro Tools. No criticisms on this front.
