Question for you veteran users--what are your favorite techniques for doing comp tracks of audio? Do you manually snip up each take by hand, then move bits and pieces around, create a new track and put all the pieces together there, or what? Last night I tried using strip silence for the first time, but it really didn't seem well suited for this (or maybe I just need to fiddle with the settings more). After stripping, it's easy to hear where each new region starts and the last one stopped. It seemed like I would then still have to go back and look manually at each region and tweak it. I did successfully move one bass note in an otherwise good take to make it come in at the right time. I selected the trim points in the sample editor, made the cuts in the arrange window, created a new track going to the same audio channel, moved the one note onto the new track and cut the note out of the original track. I then moved the position of the sole note on the new track slightly forward to correct the timing, did one more minor trim on the old track, and it came out fine. But I wonder if there are easier ways... Irwin

Hi, I just mix and match the good bits on one audio channel (after some 20 odd takes of vocals), even using single words of one take. Good singing technique does help, though ;-) Cheers, Recky
