[Rwp] Record new item while listening to the first

[Chris Belle]

Direct hardware monitoring, like what's mentioned in your manual
is mainly just for in-put sources.
But you still need to control monitoring coming back from your DAW.
When and how certain items play is what my instructions refer to, also 
one other thing to mention
when in the default mode of reaper replacing recordings with new ones, 
you can turn on and off takes and you can also say play all takes, these 
are bound to actions right now,
at least the play previous nad next takes are bound to the t and shift t 
keys, you will have to bind the play all takes one.
Each time you make a recording you get another item and that's what 
makes this kind of confusing till you get used to it.
For the most simple work flow,
til you get used to all these adjustments, I tell my students to put 
each new addition to a recording on a different track.
Yes, this is messy,
and cumbersome, but this way you won't get confused about which item you 
are on, nad which take is playing, and so on and so forth.
If it's any comfort, even sharp brained advanced technical people have 
troublel with thie reaper method,
I fear
slip editing is much easier for sighted than blind, because
which item you are on isn't always linear going forward and backward, in 
sequence, so it can get crazy to figure out where you are.
This is the best work flow I've come up with so far
using lanes and or putting on separate tracks and bouncing down.
All the best.
