An "item" is one section of media in a track. However, an item can have 
one or more "takes". The concept is exactly what you'd expect; i.e. 
multiple "takes" or attempts at a specific section. So, each take 
consumes the same section of time, but you can switch between the takes 
at will. If you split an item with multiple takes, both new items 
(before and after the split) will also have the same number of takes.

Both items and takes have separate volume controls. If you tweak the 
volume for an item, that will affect all takes, but if you tweak the 
volume for a specific take, only that take will be affected. In 
practice, this could be useful if, for example, a vocalist backed off 
the mic when recording a particular take, but was closer for all other 
takes.

I've only been using REAPER for a few months, so more experienced users 
may wish to correct anything here. :)
