Auditioning takes

There are several ways to audition takes in order to compare and find the best takes:

Click the Take lane’s Solo button .

Unlike track solo buttons, Take lane solo buttons are mutually exclusive, meaning you can only solo one Take lane on a track at a time. This allows you to quickly audition or solo a single take since there is no need to first unsolo other takes.When soloed, time mute (partial clip mute) regions are ignored. You might want to enable looping in order to repeat a specific time region while you audition different takes.

Select the desired clip(s) or time region, then press SHIFT+SPACEBAR.

You can use the LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN ARROW keys to audition adjacent takes, then press the ENTER key to isolate the selected take. This is referred to as speed comping. For details, see Speed comping.

Tip: If you want to audition takes in context with other tracks, enable Dim Solo mode in the Control Bar’s Mix module. For details, see Dim Solo mode.

Hold down the J key to enter Scrub mode, then drag across a take.
