Take Management and Comping Takes
By default, SONAR stacks any overlapping clips on top of each other, but you can
choose to display them in separate lanes in the same track. When you store clips in
separate lanes, it’s easy to mute and solo them individually and eventually come
up with a composite take, with only the best clips playing back.
When you use loop recording, you can store all your takes in the same track, and
then use the Mute tool or Audition (Selection Playback) to hear only the ones you
want.
If you enable a track’s Track-Show Layers menu option, SONAR stores the
track’s clips in separate lanes whenever any of the following happens:
• You use loop recording in Sound on Sound mode, and choose to store takes in a
single track.
• You drag a clip onto another clip while the Blend Old and New option in the
Drag and Drop Options dialog is enabled.
• You record over some pre-existing data while in Sound on Sound mode.
• You enable the Track-Show Layers menu option for a track that contains at
least one overlapping clip.
