Comp your audio recordings
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.

m Click the Quick Swipe Comping button in the upper-left corner of the take folder.
