Clicking on a take vs comping it [SOLVED]

Hi David,

 

I'm still in you course, lesson 4, Recording audio and midi.

 

It says that to listen to a take, within a Take folder, we just have to click on the take.

 

That doesn't work for me, I have to use the comp tool to bring that take at the top level in order to listen to it. Is this because I changed an option somewhere or is it the normal behavior in Logic 10.6 ?

 

Thanks.

What do you call "the comp tool"? What happens if you simply click a take as mentioned in the book?

Neither, it should still work exactly as explained in the book, so let's figure this out together here.

Hi David.

 

I agree that my message was not clear.

 

While answering you a long message with screenshots, I understood where was the problem.

 

My mouse pointer changes if it is over the upper area of a region (it is then a normal pointer), over the middle area of a region (is is then the marquee tool) or over the bottom area of a region (it is then what I call the comp tool, which can be used to select parts of different takes in order to bring them in the composite take that will be played).

 

I did that adjustment of the pointer a few months ago, while following advices by another Logic Pro expert on the web, before I found this forum and your book. I don't even remember how I managed to do that !

 

The good thing is thatI realized today that I can use that « comp tool » to select a take just by clicking on the take, rather than dragging over it... as long as my pointer is in the bottom part of the take.

 

So I have my answer and I will save a precious time by just clicking on takes with that tool rather than dragging over the take from beginning to end.

 

I hope this makes some sense for you.

 

Thanks again for answering me, David. Sorry for the trouble...
