[Rwp] With OSARA, how to manage volume / pan of items?

[Jim Snowbarger]

If takes are  manageable, and I haven't learned to do it yet, then it's
definitely the way to go.  I am the master or re-take, and mastery of takes
is something I really need to acquire.  Truly talented people don't have to
do this.  But, I do.
So, question to the list, 
to do this, do you first have to set punch in and punch out points, so that
all takes use the same exact segment along the time line?  My problem is
that I get tons of item fragments lying around because my start and stop
points for each take are ramdomly different from one another.
What's the best way to do that?

I strongly disagree. If you're doing a lot of stuff with different takes,
having to manage each take on a separate track is just tedious. 
This is what I did in Sonar (because clips/layers aren't accessible) and
it's very easy to make mistakes, since there's a lot of cutting and pasting
involved. You can also end up with a ridiculous track count with no idea of
which tracks contain which takes. With REAPER, you record all of your takes,
split items at phrases and then just select the best take for each item.

I'm not suggesting that takes are the only workflow. If you're happy with
tracks, great. My point of disagreement is that takes are less efficient for
a screen reader user. If they're accessible as they are with ReaAccess and
OSARA, they have the potential to be ridiculously efficient.
