Nobody?
So everyone who works with midi is just keeping their project settings to 'always mix'? I'd be surprised at that...
Or you're all just making a new track each time you want to overdub? Very quick and easy to do in reaper admittedly, but a bit irritating when you're trying to glue your parts together into one and they're all scattered across different tracks, especially since you can't place them on top of each other and glue unless 'always mix' is enabled.
I see that there is a shortcut for 'set item properties to 'always mix', it also seems that Reaper is able to differentiate between a midi item and audio, so it seems like it should be possible to make a script that runs at startup, and makes all midi items 'always mix' by default?
I also understand you can set it work protools style, so placing an audio item on top of another actually removes whatever is underneath, but that's not what I'm looking for - I'd like to be able to have audio items on top of others and only the top one will ever play, but if I peel back then I can see and hear the audio underneath. The 'Always replace' item mix option provides this, but messes up midi layering and overdubbing, meaning I would have to manually change every midi items behaviour.
