Hate to admit I don't know how to do this, but here goes ...
I play solo classic guitar, and often have to play a song 5-6 times before I am satisfied with it. I do not want to do any of this compositing (?) business (use the bridge from this take, the second verse from another take, and so on), but I would like to be able to play the song 5 times in a row without stopping the recorder, re-winding, and arming the track again on ech performance. Why can't I record a song over and over until I like the way it sounds, stop the machine, delete everything from 00h 00m 00sec up to where the good take starts (and this may be 4 minutes into the program), then cut and paste the resultant track onto a new track that begins 5 seconds after you hit "play"?
Alternatively, can you just cut and paste the song to an earlier part of the same track where the previous bad takes were taking up space before you deleted them?
It's very demoralizing and groove-interrupting to interrupt a song when you hit a bad note, stop the vf80, rewind, re-arm, hit record again, get back in the chair, get composed, etc. Especially if you do it 5 times in a row! Thanks, folks.
