Take lane comping

First I use clip grouping on the various takes so edits affect all takes. I am usually but not always comping takes together as well.

To do that I use either the mute tool to isolate the take I want or split clips and then use the "Fade clips" option. Which really depends on material, isolating works better with distinct gaps in the material such as vocal phrases whereas Fade clips works better on continuous material.

I usually delete the unwanted part of the clip but you can just select those that you want to use and then "fade clips"

This video may help explain the mute tool a little better.

Cool video for sure, but my workflow's a bit different. I just used the slice tool to crop clips and CTRL dragged them vertically to do the auto-crossfades. I guess I could actually do that with take lanes now that I think of it.

Make a composite lane and drag the clips I want to use to that lane. But I can see it being a real mess if I ever wanted to, say, go back and re-evaluate the quick edits I did while tracking.

I've never used the mute tool to be honest. I've always dont the slice, crop, fade thing. Especially for drums/guitar.

I think I'll just need to get used to get used to take lanes and a new workflow...
I just wish there was a quick, mouse-ready way to crossfade between two clips in the selected area I've highlighted. There may be, but I'm dim and don't know how to search the online documentation.

Watched both. Unless I'm missing something, people seem to utilize the mute tool a lot, or split clips and not have to crossfade. I use the crossfades a lot and they are not always on "beat".
