As there's no good way to select stacked takes like this (no "select through" or "send to back" or whatever), things can get a bit tricky later. It may also be helpful to stop thinking of it like a tape recording. Underneath does not necessarily mean it won't play, I believe the first audio region to start will play...? Cycle record in auto mute/auto create mode really may be what you want if you are doing lots of takes & want to keep them all for later comping together of the best bits. Or if you just want to keep the earlier take for safety, you can hit delete after recording and tell Logic to keep the newly-recorded file (rather than deleting it from disk), which will then be removed from the Arrange window but still available in the Audio window. It can be dragged back into Arrange whenever you need, then use "regions to original record position" to place it... Or if the take really was utter crap, hit delete, answer yes to "delete it from disk" & record again. There may also be a key command for "record again" which you should check out? I don't have the dongle with me, can't check... John Pitcairn
