Using Take Lanes in Live 11

Something exciting came along with the Live 11 update – a long-awaited function to be able to perform comping.

Comping will enable us to record multiple takes of audio within the same track and then pick the best parts of each take to create the perfect comp!

If you never carried out comping before, just think about it this way: you loop the section of the song where the singer is supposed to be singing the verse. You can let the singer sing that verse a couple of times on a loop record without any interruption and capture every single take they have performed in multiple Take Lanes.

Then, you can go into the Take Lanes and pick the best part of each. For example, maybe the beginning of the first take was pitchy, the second part was great, and, in the second take, the first part was great, but in the second part, the singer missed the last word.

Now, you are able to combine the great parts of both takes in a super fast, seamless way.
