[Rwp] A recording Question.

[John Schucker]

OK, so you really don't need reaper to do everything as a single item. 
You just need a way to start each new recording at the end of the track 
you're on, no? So you record entry 1, then jump to the end and append 
entry 2 to that same track, e.g. you start recording on that track at 
the time entry 1 ends. Then you play back the whole track and you have 
all of your entries, however many individual files reaper chooses to 
save them as. I admit I haven't been following the discussion thoroughly 
so maybe this can't work, but it would be weird if you couldn't record 
past the end of a track, once it's set by the first recording.

Alternatively, if you need to play these back at a later date, you could 
just set up each session as its own project. Then you go find all the 
items reaper saved, and play them back in order with whatever audio 
player you use. Then it shouldn't matter how many items it saves because 
it should number each take, so to speak, sequentially, no? So if you do 
fifty takes on track one, and you don't punch in, it should have fifty 
files in sequence somewhere or other, wherever it saves its data.

OK, I am prepared. Hit me with how wrong I am, since this is all off the 
top of my head, LOL!
