Logic has no concept of "takes", or of layered region management in the Arrange. There's no built-in take-management like DP or ProTools. Folders is the usual way to handle this: Record pass 1, stop Pack folder Mute folder Repeat for remaining takes, using the same 8 channels each time. Unmute/solo/cut/comp folders as required Once you get used to the process, it's pretty fast, and lets you manipulate an entire multitrack take as a single Arrange object. Unpacking a folder is trickier, I forget whether "keep instrument" or "keep track" is the way to go to get things back out to the main Arrange (experiment). If you're cycle-recording your takes without stopping, you'll be left with a track order that isn't laid out for easy selecting of each take's tracks. I've written an applescript to handle that by naming and sorting the tracks - see my website's Logic section at http://www.opuslocus.com/logic/ John Pitcairn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - LC Xmu Logic/Mackie Control emulation & management, LC Xview software LC/MC display, Logic environments & stuff...
