I've read that other REAPER users have this frustrating problem. Finally, with the help of a lot of posts that almost get there (and the help of the User Guide) I found the answer. Thought I'd share with others.
SETUP
Record a simple dry vocal on Track 1 (voiceover – 10 seconds).
Stop, rewind, and record another take on Track 1 (slower read).
Takes show in separate lanes on Track 1, each with a filename.
There is no take ID before the filename (“Take #/#”), which there should be.
The “Splits existing items and creates new takes” option is checked.
PROBLEM
When I play either Take they both play at the same time.
Takes can be selected, but I can’t make them play separately – always a mix of the two.
Only one Take is shown on the “Take” dropdown under the “Item” menu, not two.
When I try the Action “Item: Solo active take of multitake item” it doesn’t work.
It’s acting as though both of these items (which look like separate Takes in the Arrange area) are actually all one Take.
SOLUTION
Well, it IS treating both Takes as a single Item, just running in separate lanes in the Track (therefore playing simultaneously on the timeline). That's because of the "Free Item Positioning" option. This must be UNCHECKED to allow separate Items on separate lanes within a single Track to be treated as separate Takes within the Track. Unchecking this option (on the "Option" menu) causes the Items - in separate lanes on one Track - to be treated as separate Takes. They can be selected and played independently of each other, even at the same time position.
Hope that helps anyone who has wrestled with this issue!
