Tip: You can listen to your comp edits in real time by creating a cycle that spans the
comp folder, and starting playback.
To move the selected comp area to the left or right:
m Click-drag it (a two headed arrow icon is shown).
To move a selected comp area to another take:
m Click on the waveform of an unselected area to move the existing “comp” from another
take.
This is a quick way to compare a comp area on one take with the same comp area on
another take.
To remove a comp selection:
m Shift-click the comp.
To remove all comp sections from a take:
m Shift-click in the region header of a take.
If the take does not contain any comp selections, all unselected areas in other takes are
selected in the take you clicked.
To remove a complete take from a take folder, do one of the following:
m Select it by clicking in its track header, then choose Delete Take from the Take Folder
menu (or press Backspace).
m Click it with the Eraser.
To store a comp, do one of the following:
m Close the take folder by clicking its disclosure triangle in the upper left corner.
m Choose New Comp from the Take Folder menu.
The comp is stored in the Takes and Comps menu (and is given a default name “Comp nn”).
