Comping
Arranging and editing
Figure 109. A Comp clip can contain multiple regions.
A. Isolated take region B. Empty region (no unmuted takes) C. Crossfade region D. Multiclip region E. Isolated
take F. Muted take G. Crossfade H. Comp clip unified header (click to select or move all takes as a
group) I. Multiclip region (multiple overlapping unmuted takes)
A Comp clip contains the following sections:
• Unified header. The solid blue header makes it easy to identify Comp clips. Click the header to
select all underlying takes, or drag to move all takes as a group.
• Isolated take region. Shows the clip data for a single isolated take. There are no other
overlapping unmuted takes.
• Multiclip region. If multiple unmuted takes overlap, the Comp clip automatically shows a
multiclip, which displays the combined waveform or MIDI data of the overlapping clips.
• Crossfade region. Shows the crossfade for abutting takes that are crossfaded. Drag left/right
to adjust position, or up/down to adjust the crossfade duration.
You can use the global editing tools on Comp clips to perform many of the same edit operations that
you can perform on regular clips. When you edit a Comp clip, you are essentially editing the
underlying takes. You can think of it as editing a clip group or a track folder. All edit operations on the
Comp clip will result in that edit being applied across all corresponding Take lanes. The following
table describes edit operations on Comp clips.
