[RWP] A couple of questions.

Hi Matt,
  I can't answer all those questions, but yes; you can set up Reaper to 
loop/record, that is as soon as you record a short phrase and stop it 
will immediately put you in a new track, still recording, so you can try 
a different take; and end up with a stack of takes; each on their own track
I found a template for setting it up on the Cockos Forums, and might 
take a week to find it in my storage discs here; but you may as well 
google for it yourself, with the words: 
cockos..reaper..loop..record..template.
Rather than reinvent the wheel, I google to learn if it already exists.
Without the word cockos before reaper; you get all that grim reaper crap
The cockos forums are fantastic, full of very knowledgeable guys who 
have already solved many issues, and they often post templates to set up 
various ways to record or edit.

Next, to make your metronome go at 120 or 140 bpm, whatever, set your 
project tempo in project settings; ctrl+enter.
In the options/metronone settings you can set up how much preroll you 
want to hear; like 1 measure, 2 measures,  before recording begins.
