I apologize if it's been covered, but is there a good video of comping takes in lanes rather than in layers in X2? Perhaps with multi-miced instruments like drums?

I found take lanes for midi get all jumbled up after just a little editing. Excess lanes, overlapping clips, etc. I wish there were a "rebuild" command for lanes.

I got quite excited at take lanes, only to get a litte deflated with the inability to edit a single midi take lane..but checkout here..you can isolate a single take lane in the prv ..:)

I have some X1 comping videos on my youtube page. Although using layers rather than the new take lanes, the method is identical. It isn't on multi mic'd instruments but the only difference would be creating clip groups prior to the comp or using those created at recording time.
 
There's also a comping section in my SWA video (link in sig) that does use the take lanes, again single instrument but uses the mute tool similar to the X1 YouTube vid plus another method of splitting clips and using the fade clips command. That works better on more continuous material such as guitars whereas the mute tool method works better on material with distinct breaks such as vocal phrases.

OK, is this normal behaviour for the new take lanes? I have a basic midi drum pattern on one track lane (T1) and i want to add cymbal crashes on another lane (T2). I arm record on T2 but when i hit record on the console, the groove on T1 mutes. The solo and mute buttons are both unchecked on T1. Is this right? I would have thought the groove on T1 would still be audible. Any thoughts?

I would have a look at your record options. "Mute previous takes" is probably checked. Right click on the record button in the  transport module or call up preferences direct from the edit menu.
