Join the club. :) In short, you move to an item and switch between takes 
with t and shift+t. Obviously, you'll probably want to split items at 
various points.

Right. The default recording mode in REAPER is "Splits existing items 
and creates new takes", so it'll create new items wherever the new 
recording doesn't line up with previous ones.

One way is to set Options -> Record mode: time selection auto punch, 
then set a time selection covering the area you want to record. There is 
also Options -> Record mode: auto-punch selected items, which I assume 
just records the area of the selected item, though I'm not certain.
