Comping overview

Comping is only possible when Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane.

Imagine a scenario in which you have recorded multiple performances of a vocal solo over the same section of a project. You can select the best parts from the different performances and piece them together into a single master take. This process is referred to as comping and is achieved by using the Quick Swipe Comping feature. You can also drag or cut the contents of take folders.

You can switch individual take folders between the following two editing modes, with the active mode determining the types of edits that you can make:

• Quick Swipe Comping: Allows quick swipe behaviors in the take folder, allowing you to create and edit comps.

• Quick Swipe Comping off: Turns off quick swipe behaviors in the take folder, allowing you to cut, drag, and move takes or take folders.
