Working with lanes
Ö To simplify matters, the descriptions in the following paragraphs focus on cycle
recordings with takes. However, you can also apply lane operations and comping
methods on overlapping events or parts that you assemble on one track.
If you perform a cycle recording in the “Keep History” or “Cycle History + Replace”
modes (audio) or in the “Stacked” or “Mix-Stacked” modes (MIDI), the recorded cycle
laps are shown on the track with the last recorded take active and on top.
The “Show Lanes” mode provides a very comfortable working environment and gives
you a good overview of all your takes. If you activate the “Show Lanes” button, the
recorded takes are shown on separate lanes.
