[Rwp] A recording Question.

[John Schucker]

If it were me, and I was bound and determined to do it in Reaper, I'd 
see if I could do one of two things:

1. Set up a key for undo on the surface, and undo the recording. This 
might not work if it considers playing, rewinding, or whatever separate 
undoable actions. But if it doesn't, basically you'd record, play, hit 
undo, then record, play, hit undo, and so on.

2. If that doesn't work, and Reaper's scriptable, pretty sure it is, see 
if you can set up a script that will select the current item in a track 
and delete it. Assign it to a control on your surface. This is 
essentially hacking up a recording undo function. After that, you'd do 
it the same way you would if you can just assign the ability to undo 
recording to a control.
