[RWP] A couple of questions.

[Indigo]

I don't know what screenreader you're using, but if it's Jaws or 
Wineyes, and maybe tap tempo will work the same in NVDA, but I just go 
to the screen review at the number pad , find  tap tempo, then just left 
clickat the numPad  at the tempo you want and Reaper moves to the tempo 
you tap, like drum machines do.
It does something like average the time between the last three taps to 
set the bpm or tempo.
If you read the screen with your numPad cursor you'll find the new tempo 
bpm that you have tapped in.
You can then save that tempo in project settings, alt+enter.
Tap tempo is great for getting at least very close to the tempo of a 
loop you insert, like maybe a drum loop, if you then want to build a 
song around that loop.
Reaper also detects transients; like the volume  peaks of the kick drum, 
so transcient detection can get the bpm exactly on, but tapping in the 
tempo is often plenty close to the correct  tempo.

As for setting metronome volume, click on configure metronome in the 
options menu and you'll find various metronome settings at your tab key.
Be sure to tab through all the tabs and put checkmarks with spacebar on 
  exactly what you want before exiting with escape, there are many settings.

>> 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

>> 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.

>> In the options/metronone settings you can set up how much preroll you want to hear; like 1 measure, 2 measures,  before recording begins.
