Thanks for the links and the videos, FBB.  They are useful but not specific to X2's Take Lanes. 

Try the Groove 3 video 'X2 Explained', specifically sections 'Loop Recording' where he records a few takes and the following one 'Working With Take Lanes' where he edits these, etc.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.

I didn't buy the groove 3 tutorial referenced as excerpts from it about Take Lanes all are referencing MIDI, which is not what I'm interested in.  All (so far) of my recording is "analog" tracks.

The Groove3 video does explain take lanes pretty well, and in the Take Lanes chapter he uses some audio takes to demonstrate some of the comping features available.  I think it would tell you what you want to know (I just finished watching it to be sure).

This has just come up in another post so I had a quick look through my SWA video to see where I cover them.

I look at take lanes in the following chapters.

Basics-->Exploring the track View Part 3
Recording-->Audio & MIDI basics
Editing-->Comping & V-Vocal

Covering the basic way they work in the "Basics" chapter, i.e. showing, deleting, using the notes field, mute, solo, etc.

How to record direct to a lane in the recording chapter, and two different methods of comping in the editing chapter.

HTH

take lanes are just glorified layers. they are pretty straight forward. make your recordings, delete unwanted parts, move clips around if necessary, highlight and bounce if needed. Very visual process so just play around for a few minutes and everything will make sense.

Hi fireberd, 


I'm sorry you didn't find the take Lane Super Highway video useful. Please understand that this video is _NOT_ a part of the Sonar X2 Explained video series. It was a one off video I did specifically meant to accompany a blog post I did for Cakewalk.

I did make it a point of covering take lanes and comping together takes from audio recordings in the Sonar X2 Explained series. 

OH, ok.  Everything I've seen (that is avilable free so far) has not really addressed "Analog" tracks, just MIDI.  Guess I'll have to buy the full video to try and get a full understanding.
