Working with lanes
Ö If you assemble stacked events on an audio track, make sure that the option “Treat
Muted Audio Events like Deleted” setting in the Preferences dialog (Editing–Audio
page) is deactivated. Otherwise it will come to unexpected results.
Additional steps
After assembling your perfect take, you can perform additional steps:
• Open the track context menu and select “Clean Up Lanes”.
This resolves overlaps and removes empty lanes.
For audio, proceed as follows:
1. Apply auto fades and crossfades to the comped takes.
2. Select all takes and select “Delete Overlaps” from the Advanced submenu on the
Audio menu to put all takes on a single lane, and remove all takes in the
background.
3. Open the Audio menu and select the “Bounce Selection” function to create a new
and continuous event of all selected takes.
For MIDI, proceed as follows:
1. Open your takes in a MIDI editor to perform fine adjustments like removing or
editing notes.
2. Select all takes and use the “Bounce MIDI” function on the MIDI menu to create a
new and continuous part of all selected takes that is placed on a single lane.
You can also use the “Merge MIDI in Loop” option to create a new part and place
it on a new track.
Finally, clean up the lanes as follows:
• Select “Create Tracks from Lanes” from the track list context menu.
The lane is converted into a new track.
