I'll have to try reaper.com right now i record in a primitive way that works i guess... i have an analog technique and a digital. i have a late 70's Akai 4-track reel to reel for my analog recording, using one mic with the sound on sound feature on i can create an interesting stereo plus tape delayed effect.
since i usually only do guitar or feedback loops with effects i only use one mic, its i think a boom mic from a professional camera and it sounds pretty good, and a take a direct line from either my amp (depending on which one i'm using) or from my last effect in my chain the mic'd channel take precedence and is set around 10 o'clock, the direct signal is slightly lower in the mix and is only in one channel... this is done to get some interesting stereo seperation from recording just guitar. this is run to a yamaha 8 channel mixer and the it is recorded to my akai 4 track reel to reel or a JVC cd recorder. all post editing which isn't much since i try to keep things as simple as i can and since the music is improvised i don't like to mess with it much, is done via an archiac method of using multiple cd players and re tracking different tracks of guitar or whatever...
