[Rwp] A recording Question.

[Jim Noseworthy]

Hello:

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

The problem is that each list must be addressed quickly after the call-up.
I don't want to listen to the previous one.

Really, all I want is to start a fresh recording when I press the record
button and I want it to be the only recording on the track.

Thanks.

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!
