Take Lanes - What's My Problem - Solved


 
I know there have been discussions about Take Lanes.  Any idea why Take Lanes do this though?  Is there a setting I've missed?  I was using a loop.  I probably stopped recording on Take 5 before the loop ended, and I'm guessing all of the other clips in the preceding Take Lanes were split at that point.  Why?  But, then I found that there were multiple stacked duplicates of the vocal clips I was recording.  Took me a while to sort them out.  I had the 'Create New Take Lane On Overlap' check box checked in Preferences.

    When you record in Comp Recording mode (right-click the record button for options), SONAR will automatically mute each previous take as a new one is started. When you stop the transport, it will split all takes at the end of the overlap, and leave any  part of the previous take that isn't overlapped unmuted so that the two takes constitute a complete "comped" take.
     
    Since that last partial take is not usually the one you want to keep when loop-recording, you can just delete that take lane and then click+drag through the entire previous take with the Comp tool (Smart tool used in the lower half of the clip) to "heal" the splits.

    yeah, I never seen the clips split on completed loop takes, but this behavior on loop recorded clips seems funny to me.  This is new to X3 from what I understand and I do not like it very much.
     
    I reported this earlier:

    http://forum.cakewalk.com/X3-does-not-record-take-lanes-correctly-in-my-scenario-m2957031.aspx
     
    I don't think complete and looped take clips should be split at all. I have never seen that in any prior version of SONAR. I can understand the final partial clip, but not the prior clips being split. I fail to see how that is useful to the user. At the time I reported that thread, it was right after an update. The GUI icon did not represent what was actually being shown on the preferences panel. I now make sure that SOS is the default. I tried to replicate the preferences error scenario so I could bug it up, but could not repro the issue.
     
    I wonder if it is the create lanes on overlap process that splits the clips?

    Thanks to the guys on the forum for their info on the recording defaults and the new comping process.

    Peace,

    I muted Take 5, unmuted Take 1 and then took the screen shot I guess.  I used the crop tool to expand the 'split clips' into their full size.  I think that each one contained the whole take with no splits, but not positive on that.  I guess that's how I ended up with multiple clips of the same take.
     
    I didn't know about 'healing splits' comp tool. 
     
    Okay.  Thank you.
