selected) from the Takes and Comps menu.
Type the desired name in the dialog that opens.
Managing Take Folders
The following section outlines a number of commands that can be performed on take
folders. These don’t affect the playback result, but do have an impact on editing
options.
Flatten and Flatten and Merge
The Take Folder menu—accessed by clicking the arrow at the top right corner of the
take folder—allows you to flatten and merge take folders.
 Flatten: Replaces the take folder with regions that represent the current comp
selections. This allows you to move individual sections back or forth in time.
 Flatten and Merge: Creates a new audio file which replaces the take folder in the
Arrange. The newly created audio file exactly matches the size of the take folder
(independent of the start position of the first region or end position of the last
region).
Note: It is not possible to merge take folders as you would merge regions (with the
Glue tool, for example). The reason for this is that the number of takes and comps
would multiply, making edits difficult, if not unusable.
