Tip:
If you want to audition takes in context with other tracks, enable Dim Solo mode in the Control

Tip:
Before speed comping, you may first want to use the Smart tool or Comping tool to drag across
each musical phrase in order to split the takes into smaller phrases. This makes it easier to quickly
mute/unmute shorter phrases while comping. For details, see
“Comping with the Smart tool and
Comping tool”
on page 400. Also see
