AUDIO EDITING IN THE SEQUENCER
216
• Only one Comp Row can play back at a time.
In a Single Take clip with more than one Comp Row, only the Comp Row you have selected by clicking the Single
Take Mode button will play back. In a Comp clip, you can alternate the playback between the Comp Rows by as-
signing regions of the different Comp Rows to different Segments in the Clip. What you hear when you play back
an audio clip is displayed in the Clip Overview area at the top on the Edit Pane. (The Clip Overview area displays
the same content as the clip in the Arrange View.)
A Single Take clip with four Comp Rows, with the topmost Comp Row manually selected for playback.
A Comp clip with alternating playback from three Comp Rows plus the Silence Row.
• The Comp Row configuration, and the Recordings on the Comp Rows, are unique to each individual audio clip.
This means that you could move Comp Rows up or down on the Edit Pane, change Comp Row Levels and Cross-
fades, or move Recordings back and forth on the Comp Rows, without affecting any neighboring audio clips.
• If you duplicate a Clip, or a Comp Row with its Recording, you can freely edit the duplicated Clip, Comp Row or
Recording without affecting the original.
However, the actual audio data is not duplicated. Reason features a very sophisticated internal audio management
system which re-uses Recordings throughout the entire Song whenever necessary. This means that the Song file
size won’t increase when you duplicate audio clips or Comp Rows.
