AUDIO EDITING IN THE SEQUENCER
185
• A Comp Mode clip is built up by segments from several recordings on multiple Comp Rows in the clip.
If you have recorded (or imported) several takes in the same audio clip - or recorded several loops in Loop Mode
- and then compiled segments of the various Comp Rows in the Comp Editor, the clip is in Comp Mode. You can
manually turn a Comp clip into a Single Take clip by clicking the “Bounce” button in the Comp Editor (see “Turning
Comp clips into Single Take clips”) - or by opening the clip and manually selecting a single Comp Row for playback
by clicking the desired Single Take Mode button (see “Single Take Mode button”).
• Comp Mode Clips are distinguished by a couple of dots in the lower right corner:
The dots indicate that there are compiled Comp Rows in the clip.
Opening audio clips for editing
In the Arrange View, audio recordings are displayed as one or two (mono or stereo) waves in the audio clips. The se-
lected audio clips in the pictures below contain mono recordings.
Opening a Single Take clip
If the audio clip only has one single Comp Row, or several Comp Rows but only plays back one of these, it means it’s
in Single Take Mode (see “Clip Modes”). Open the clip as follows:
D Open a Single Take clip by double-clicking it, or by selecting it and pressing [Return].
Double-click a Single Take audio clip in the Arrange View...
...to open it for editing inline in the Arrange View.
The Single Take clip opens inline in the Arrange View, i.e. the sequencer does not enter Edit Mode. This behavior
is similar to when you open automation clips in the sequencer.
When the audio clip is open inline you can stretch, move and quantize audio slices etc., see “Editing audio inline”.
D To open another Single Take clip on the same track inline (and thus close the currently open clip), double-click
the other clip.
It is also possible to open a Single Take clip in the Comp Editor:
D Select the Single Take clip and its track, and hold down [Ctrl](Win) or [Cmd](Mac) and press [E].
D Click the “Open in Comp Edit” button in the Track List when the Single Take clip is open inline.
