A lot of the new standalone digital tracking machines have a feature
called "virtual tracks".   This where you can record several takes on one
track and then chose which one is actually used.  This is really useful if
you are doing  several takes on a vocal track or a guitar solo and then
can chose which one was the best.  I am wondering if there is a way to
easily do something like this with ardour.

Here are my current solutions:

 (1) Make a new track for each take.  This works but creates a lot of
clutter.
 (2) Record the take then delete it.  When you want to put a former take
back on do an "Insert region".  This is REALLY cumbersome because I have
to keep a piece of paper by my desk to record which region number is
which and then use either an ardour marker or the paper for the region
start.

If there is no easy way to do this then I would like register a feature
request.  If anyone has any implementation suggestions (since I haven't
studied the source) please let me know and I'll take a stab at
implementing it.

Thank you,
