1 . So before commiting to rendering it,
2. I carefully finished comping
3. All over the lanes, because, I have many takes (lanes)
4. Yet, I do not want to delete other sources ‘yet’
5. Lets say I finished comping for Chorus 1, and I would like to just copy/paste those ‘comped’ audio selection (roughly cross-faded)
I usually keep my finger on ‘SHIFT’ and select one by one…
But, is there smarter way/hot-key…?!
How do you all deal with this?
I’ve been looking for better solution of this, because essentially, when I close ‘open-lanes’ view, comped selections are all put-up-to-front? so… I was wondering if there is any quicker way to just select them!
I use Track Versions at key points in the Comping process.
After recording and before Comping I create a New Track Version and Comp that leaving the other Version untouched. If the end result is going to be complex I might even make a version or two while in the process of Comping. Basically creating backup points that I can easily return to if I want.
Then when the Comp is complete I use Render In Place to generate a new Audio File with just the Comped Audio. Typically I’ll set the Render to both Disable and Hide the original Track. At no point do I ever Delete the unused audio.
If a specific Project is going to have a LOT of Comping, I might use Save As… to create a variant of the Project that I only use for Comping.
Just to add…
“Save to new version” puts a number at the end of your project file name and increment it automatically with every new trigger… so you get different versions of your projects when ever needed…
