I think youll just have to delete the take if you dont want to see it
that will happen when you record 2 or more takes on the same track, and whichever one you set active will be the one you will hear on playback. The other takes will be muted.
its useful to hear the different takes on the fly, and if you start making sections within the track, you can make it to where reaper will play whichever take you specify within that section.
say... you record 2 takes on the same track and you like the second take you did better, but there is some mess ups along from 2 min to 2 min 10 sec, and the first take did that portion perfectly. just create a section in that time frame and activate the first take in that section. Reaper will play the second take and switch over to the first take at 2 min then switch back to the first take at 2 min 10 sec...
hope that makes sense. im tired.
