In the part that is overlapping, you have two take folders. If you combine them into one single take folder, then you can hear only one take at a time in that single take folder, no matter how you combine them. If you want to be able to hear two takes at the same time, or two comps at the same time, then you need to keep two take folders.

You can, however for the overlapping part you have different takes selected in both folders, so you have to pick either the first or the second comp. If not... then I'm not sure what you mean.

If you want to keep the comping from the first take folder then I would cut the second take folder at the end of the first take folder. Now unpack that second take folder that's overlapping the first take folder, and drag the takes inside the first take folder.

When you use a software for a while, you get hopeful that some of the toolsets you're using a lot will be improved upon, or that other features will be added. When years pass, a new version comes out, and you realize that the time was spent improving some of the tools you don't need, and the features that were added are ones you don't need (to the detriment of the improvements you wished for), it's understandable that you could be frustrated. Again, everyone is entitled to their opinion - and free to share it here.

That's alright, everyone is entitled to make their own judgement based on the new features that were announced. These AI session player and chord track features are likely to target a specific part of the user base, so it makes sense that they would not be exciting to everyone.

Could you share a screenshot of the Mixer and tell us which faders aren't moving?

I believe the infamous darkgate scandal was affecting earlier Logic Pro X versions... but @des99 is correct, this was such a widespread issue that Apple decided to take action and lighten the dark interface in later versions. Here's one thread on the topic.

Unfortunately, if someone has already voted, they cannot change their vote.

That's not the only condition that triggers that bug, but it definitely is one.

Yes, you could do that, or use track volume automation, and make sure you maintain a constant level throughout the transitions.

Logic Pro for Mac 11 requires macOS Ventura 13.5 or later. I suppose that means you can run Logic Pro 11 on an Intel machine! 😃

I've added the requirements info to the OP.

It's apparently a free upgrade. Apparently, some features are Apple Silicon only, such as Stem Splitter for example, not sure if you'll still be able to install LP 11 on Intel or not.
