aleos Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Hey everyone, the last few projects I did were some larger, and longer form, chamber music things. Where on multiple sessions, the performers decided to go 'section-by-section' doing multiple takes of each section of a piece, before moving on to the next. And then in some instances, even going back and doing an earlier section, because they had warmed up or whatever. As I came to edit the piece, I do my usual; I select the each take, and delete the others and line everything up. But in this choir piece that I've screenshot below, it my methods felt clumsy, and I thought there must be a smoother way. This piece has tons of takes of each section (or phrase) Each phrase is 10-30 seconds long. Most of the phrases are nearly identically performed, and there are many options for the 'good take'. Take 3 of phrase 2 might sound great with take 6 of phrase 3, but that doesn't go well with take one of phrase 4 etc etc. Just wondering if anyone has a neat workflow or method, or does logic have some snazzy tech that allows quick switching? Anyway, just trying to speed up the workflow. Maybe there's no shortcut.😁 A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Have you considered comping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleos Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 Hi Atlas, thanks for the reply man. I didn't know you could set it up with a bunch of audio files after-the fact. That's so cool. I mostly just use comping on vocal takes when a singer is doing a verse, or guitar solos etc. How would I set that up? Thanks!

Atlas007 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Pack the takes into take folders. Then proceed with editing and comping. The take folders could be unpacked and re-packed at will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
