Overview of comping audio performances in Logic Pro for Mac
When Enable Complete Features is selected in Logic Pro > Settings > Advanced, comping is available.
Imagine a scenario in which you have recorded multiple performances of a vocal solo over the same section of a project. You can select the best parts from the different performances and piece them together into a single take. This is the process of making a composite take—commonly referred to as comping—and is achieved by using the Quick Swipe Comping feature. You can also drag or cut the contents of take folders.
You can switch individual take folders between the following two editing modes, with the active mode determining the types of edits that you can make:
Quick Swipe Comping: Allows quick swipe behaviors in the take folder, allowing you to create and edit comps.
Quick Swipe Comping off: Turns off quick swipe behaviors in the take folder, allowing you to cut, drag, and move takes or take folders.
Note: Quick Swipe Comping is available for audio take folders only, not MIDI take folders.
Turn Quick Swipe Comping mode on or off
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
Click the Quick Swipe Comping button in the upper-left corner of the take folder.
Choose Quick Swipe Comping from the Take Folder pop-up menu.
Note: For Quick Swipe Comping mode to be available, choose Logic Pro > Settings > Recording > Overlapping Track Recordings, then choose Create Take Folder. See Recording settings.
