Take lane and comping enhancements
New features in SONAR X3
New default Comping record mode
SONAR X3 introduces a new record mode called Comping, which is the default mode.
In this mode, existing data on the track is not heard during recording. When a recording is done, the
newly recorded material is heard and all other takes are time-muted for the duration of the new
material.
The Record button in the Control Bar’s Transport module looks like when Comping mode is
enabled. To change record modes, right-click the Record button.
For details, see “Recording modes” on page 278.

Newest take is shown on top
The newest (chronologically youngest) take is shown on top when displayed in lanes.
Take lanes are named automatically. The first lane is named T1, the next lane is named T2, etc. The
lane number always stays with a lane, even if you reorder, insert or delete lanes.
