Thank you for the detailed information! Because of that I knew where to look, and I can confirm - when you stop and then start
and comping is selected, sometimes the Now time backs up slightly when you stop, or recording continues a bit afterward (I'm not sure which, but the result is the same). I also noticed that sometimes, it leaves a very small gap.
Fortunately there are four solutions, depending on how you want the clips to end up.
- If you want a clip to go in a new take lane every time you start and stop, and have no overlap, choose Overwrite and check Create New Lanes on Overlap.
- If you want clips to go in the same take lane every time you start and stop, and have no overlap, choose Overwrite and uncheck Create New Lanes on Overlap.
- If you want a clip to go in a new take lane every time you start and stop, and you want a slight overlap but don't want the overlapping part to be split, choose Sound on Sound and check Create New Lanes on Overlap.
- If you want clips to alternate between two take lanes every time you start and stop, and want a slight overlap but don't want the overlapping part to be split, choose Sound on Sound and uncheck Create New Lanes on Overlap.
One of these should cover what you need. I know who worked on the comping, and since the behavior you describe is now quantified and reproducible, I'll pass this information along. (I wonder if the slight overlap is on purpose to guarantee that a new take lane will be created when comping...I don't know, but the comping person will know.)
I hope you find this "canned response" helpful
Thank you for your diligence in finding a way to reproduce!
