chillywilly Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I have found it awkward to edit takes after I have packed them into a take folder. I think I should be able to (and please help me if I'm wrong) expand the takes view, switch out of QuickSwipe Comping, and edit any take as desired. Regions copied from a take get placed on the comp lane when pasted, which totally screws up the integrity of the comping process. There must be a better way to do this. This is probably just user error. Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I have the same issue here. As a workaround you could try Option-dragging rather than copy/pasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillywilly Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 The problem with Option+drag is that if I'm dragging a tiny sliver of audio from one end of the song to the other, I will need to drag it until I reach the edge of the timeline window... and since the timeline window does not automatically scroll when the cursor reaches the edge, I am forced to put the audio segment down. Now what happens when I do this? Logic chops up the audio underneath and deselects the audio from the QuickSwipe comp. Then I have something ELSE to fix. It's really annoying, especially if I have to pick up and drop the audio several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillywilly Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 You just taught me about "Overlap" and "No Overlap" mode in another thread. I checked this out, and now I see why Logic is giving me trouble. There is no such thing as Overlap mode inside the Takes folder (according to the manual).

It does scroll, but you have to find that spot that makes is scroll... Another solution is to open two arrange windows, located to two different spots in the timeline.

chillywilly Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 I hunted around for it for a while. Good to know the window will scroll. I'll try harder to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
