thank you for your responses.

if i understood everything correctly, i am not able to do it even with the sws extension.

maybe this makes it clearer

M=marker
(ignore ...)

...M1__[Take1]__M2.......................................
................M3__[Take2]__M4..........................
...........................M5__[Take3]__M6...............
.......................................M7__[Take4]__M8...

in detail:
M1 starts recording Take1
M2 stops recording Take1 / jumps to M3
M3 starts recording Take2
M4 stops recording Take2 / jumps to M5
etc...


the problem is M3 is BEFORE M2
so, in the middle of Take1 Marker M3 gets triggered
then M2 jumps to M3
M3 records till M2
then M2 jumps to M3
M3 records till M2
.... etc
endless loop


a workaround:
M1 (record)
M2 (stop + set M3 + jump to M3)
M3 (record + delete M2) ....
not convenient


in the meantime i was able to make some makros that will work for me during recording without looking on the screen. so implementing such a feature would now just be a bonus for me. but its still just a workaround and i need to have my keyboard in the tracking room.

and i think there are quite a few young people out there, recording themselves on their own, who might profit from it, or might change to reaper if this feature would be implemented in an easy understandable way. even though these users might not be the ultimate target group

it's one of those "easy" things that would be very convenient. reaper is getting on a level of its own. but many people do not grasp it. this feature would "leave a mark".

<3 reaper
