[Rwp] understanding Reaper's take system?

[Chris Belle]

Ah I see.
Well cat my dogs,
I got so used to just using separate tracks in sonar to comp with 
because the other stuff was justs too screwy to deal with,
now we have access to doing it the right way,
so I see it's possible to make things work the way I'm used to if I want to.
I rarely did punch in, but just hit the record button when I wanted to 
punch in,
and most of the time just stayed in blend mode and  cleaned up my edges 
when I needed to,
but now we've got access to all this other stuff
so we can start doing things the right way,
I made out pretty good with old sonar, but this is gonna be good when I 
get my head around all this.
