I finally got around to using the loop record and...
it rocks! I've never used a DAW that had multiple takes per clip - its incredibly cool - a trivial example: you can sing something 20 times, copy the whole clip stack to the next track and pick a double. likewise I didn't get that trimming and splitting work on the whole stack - of course that's the way to do it.
In DP takes were per-track which was horribly cumbersome in retrospect. Like a lot of Tracktion features the loop record implementation just turns out to be a lot more useable and flexible in practice than I realized at first.

yes, I was sceptical at first, but when I came to actually use this feature it was very obvious and intuitive. thumbs up RMS/ Mackie

comping is easier than I thought it would be too - you just split the stack at the offending note and then search through the takes for the note. Nothing like that was possible in DP! you had to hunt through the takes copying and pasting possible matches to a comp track. Yuck. And here it can be very cleany done on one track.
Another neat thing: you can record in loop made then copy the whole stack a bunch of times and then either select sequential takes on sequential clips to hear the entire pass or arrange them how you will - re-arrangement is easy as you just pick different takes for different clips if you get my drift... The crucial disign element here is the clip-stack - FR - it would be great to be able to make these from arbitrary collections of clips!!
