How to make separate takes from cycled recording audio file?

[rickenbacker360]

If I press record and let Logic cycle through several takes (say 5), I get separate iterations (say 23, 23.1, 23.2, 23.3, and 23.4).

Assume that I like take 23.3 and delete all other takes from the comp.

Assume several days later I change my mind and need to revisit the other takes.

If I drag the resulting audio file (say Test.23) to a separate new track I get a long single file which, if played all the way through, has all 5 iterations. Of course, they are not lined up for any type of comp capability. (If the original recording was 4 measures long, I've now got a 20 measure audio file.)

Is there a magic command to get each iteration to become a separately viewed "row" (take) in the track and thus be available for comping?

Failing that, what is the best method?

I have, of course, been able to drag the long Test.23 folder into place (aligned) and record the particular section of the file into 5 separate recordings to a separate track, all lined up, but this seems very tedious and inefficient.

Obviously, I'd like the magic command that splits the 20 measures into 5 tracks of 4 measures—all inside a new comp folder for the track.

Gurus?

The individual takes (23, 23.1, 23.2 etc....) should all be available in your audio Bin, just drag and drop them one by one where you want them in the Arrange area:

If you want, you can then select them all and choose Region > Folder > Pack Take Folder to have them all in a take folder and be able to quick swipe comp them again.
