Hi Pete, You said/asked: << I would avoid overlapping regions if possible. Why would you want them to overlap? To me it only confuses things. >> (These are all MIDI regions) Well, when I'm recording the chorus after already recording the verse, I use punch-in recording to record the chorus. I need to overlap the end of the verse because I tend to come in just a hair ahead of the actual start of the measure. So I end up with on measure worth of overlap. I have to do the same thing for at the other end for similar reasons. Now I've got overlap at both ends. I can clean up the beginning overlap easy, but not tail end. Anyway, the overlap is unavoidable. At least for the way I record music. Hope that explains the "why"... Kamm
