Heads-Up About Comping

I have to say, the first time I used the new comping my head exploded because although some people didn't like take lanes, I had a workflow that worked for me. In fact there are several comping workflows that work with X3, some of which are better than others. But when I looked at the Speed Comping help, bingo!! That's definitely the preferred method. Once I became familiar with speed comping, AFAIC that's the way to go. 
 
I strongly suggest that if you're into comping, check out the online help for Speed Comping and go through it step-by-step. I didn't really "get" it until I followed the instructions while using it on a project.

    I agree, Craig, speed comping is the way to go.  I liked Reaper's simplicity and speed for comping, but this  makes it even easier. Nice update, I'm happy with X3 so far.  Of course there are a ton of things I haven't tried yet, but things are promising so far.

    Thanks, Craig. I plan to explore it soon.

    I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    Yep. To me, Comping in X3 is what screensets in X1 were. It really is so quick it's almost automatic.

    I purchased X3 in seconds after watching comping tutorial video. Cakewalk - or some individual Baker - has done superb job! This will definitely speed up my workflow when editing multi-track live takes.
     
    Awesome. Just awesome.
     
    Thank you Cakewalk for the new design!
