[Rwp] Creating Items

[James Teh]

It really shouldn't be much different in OSARA versus ReaAccess. One 
difference I can think of is that ReaAccess unselects all items every 
time you move to a new track, which isn't what REAPER does by default 
(and OSARA doesn't change that).

If you want to avoid the potential pitfalls, though, why not just work 
on it in a separate project and cut the items between them? REAPER does 
allow multiple projects open at once. That way, it's closer to your 
SoundForge workflow, only all within one app.
