Take manager
Menu: Tools - > Manager -> Take manager
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + Alt + T
The take manager offers you a convenient option for selecting and organizing recording
takes, loop recordings (view page 86), and destructive object edits (view page 131).
When graphi
cal comping with the take composer (view page 152), you can edit together a
new take from available take sections.
Note: A new take is also added after effects calculation and this is displayed immediately in
the take manager if the option "Create copy" is selected in the destructive effects dialog.
Take manager - basic working principle
In addition to the audio and MIDI data, Samplitude also saves additional information like the
time position and the track where the data was recorded in each recorded file. This data is
stored as take information in the wave project and the MIDI object. For multi-track
recordings, the takes also contain information like which other tracks were involved in the
recording.
This enables each recorded passage to be assigned to a section, marking it as a take of a
certain recording.
First, record as many takes of a certain passage as required. If a new take in an arranger
track is recorded over an old one at the same position, no existing data will be overwritten.
The new recordings will be attached to the end or saved to a new file.
If an object from a recording is selected and the take manager is opened, takes from the
same track and original position are searched for in the whole audio material of the project,
and the results are shown as takes.
Note: The take manager only accepts objects that were created by recording, but not
those created by wave or CD import.
Examples for using the take manager:
To select the best takes after some punch loop recording sequences
To find the best takes from several recording sequences using predefined bar positions
For a well-structured display of all available takes in a specific SMPTE period
To merge the best parts of existing takes of recorded vocals to a "perfect take"
