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

[Chris Belle]

Well, I know what I like to do, but trying to keep an open mind since 
Jamie wants to try and make something which has up to now been hard to 
do, easier.

If I can organize and name and see my takes, then maybe I'll like it better.

We'll just have to see.

I'm willing to give it a shot.

If I don't like it, I'll just go back to using tracks as usual.
