[RWP] In Reaper, how do you organize your song's build?

[Scott Chesworth]

I generally try to stick to one instrument per track here. If
appropriate I also use the Take functions and try to throw a quick
note of what I intend to use from that take into the take name before
moving on. Inevitably ends up with a mishmash of doubles because of
parts overlapping into next sections, delay tails etc, but in general
I find fewer tracks and more items is preferable here. Tbh, it's
probably just a school of thought that got bought over from my days
with Pro Tools where working with regions was the fastest way to edit
using the keyboard.
