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

[Chris Belle]

Oh my god, so we'd have bunches of stuff on a single track starting at 
different places, items and takes both.

I think I'm better off making a separate track for everything and naming it.

I usually can get it right in a few,
and then take the best of what I got, but I know where it is,
and then I end up just copying and pasting what I want to anothe track 
and cleaning up.

I guess different strokes for different folks,
but
I got used to doing it this way because getting to layers in sonar was 
such a pain I never bothered.

Maybe I'll like it better in reaper.

Anyway, choice is good.
