Hello folks,
Is there a way to stop Reaper automatically saving a numbered .wav file every time you press "stop". I have the backspace key to do this but sometimes I forget and when I'm recording an improv I can do many many takes until I get the one I like or don't make a mistake on. It would be great to be able to tell them to go into a folder in the project folder so there isn't a big list of them automatically created.

Yeah I know about that, I told it not to do it because it bugged me, I set a key (backspace) to tell it not to save but I forget it sometimes.
I would love Reaper to not save a WAV if you don't save the project. My old DAW didn't create a wav in your project folder, it just kept a temp file until you manually saved it. If you deleted the track in the DAW it deleted the wav file. So you could do a few takes, delete them, and you had no record of the WAVS But just to be able to tell them to go into a folder would be good, it's messy -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Todd,
The thing I liked about my old DAW was if I deleted the track within the DAW it deleted it from the folder. When I'm doing a collaboration and improvising I often hit a bum note and stop recording. If I forget to hit backspace (I have that set to not save the wav and delete the track) and hit the space bar instead, I have to delete the track manually BUT this still leaves the duff wav in the folder. I can see why it's a good feature when you're proficient, but when you're learning and making mistakes it gets messy;) Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
