So now Pro Tools is very streamlined my workflow my session does not look cluttered. Take 1, take 2, take 3.Īnd so now what I’ve been able to do using playlists is compile these all into a single track using that up arrow just by highlighting the parts that I like and putting them all on the same track. Now when I play it back, I can switch back to my waveform. Highlight it, and bring it up like this, and put it on the top track. So I can do that, I can grab take 3 down here. And what you’re gonna do is take these and put them on the comp track. Now what you can do is if you highlight these, you’ll see this arrow pop up right here. Now if I solo this and play it back, you’ll hear the first one: take 1, take 2, and you can hear my other playlist: take 3, take 3, take 3. We’ll call this Audio 3 Comp.Īlright, next if I switch over into playlist mode, which you can select here, you’ll see the different ones that I recorded before. Then what I can do is create a third playlist that I’m gonna make my compilation. So I can record here again in the same exact time location in my song: take 3, take 3, take 3. I can just switch back between the playlist - the ones that I want to use. You’ll see I lost my waveform now, but I haven’t really lost it. If I create a new playlist, it’s basically gonna be like kind of creating a new place to record on the same exact track.
So right now when I’m looking at it you see my waveform here on Audio 3. So what I’m gonna do now is get rid of Audio 1 and Audio 2, and just show you playlists now on Audio 3. Pro Tools has a cool thing called playlist which allows you to record multiple parts on the same audio track. If you label them it’s a little bit better but it still kind of fills your Pro Tools session with multiple tracks.
Now I’ve got all these tracks going on, you’ve got to sort out which one is which. This is kind of an inefficient way to do it and it kind of clutters up your Pro Tools session. So this is just one way that I can compile multiple parts into a single track. And my third track, you’ll hear it say take 1, take 2. So now if I just listen back to my first track you’ll hear it say take 1, take 1, take 1. Or you can copy it by using option and drag it down so that you still have it on the first track and you still have it now on the final track - your comp track. So if I highlight these, and separate just the part that you like using Command-E, then you can drag it down with Shift so that it stays time-aligned. Next I can compile the parts that I like, or take one from the first track and take two from the second track. So I’m going to mute my talk back and record on my first track.
And then the one I’m gonna compile, I’m gonna have part 1 as track 1 and then part 2 as track 2. On my track 2, I’m gonna say take 2, take 2, take 2. Just for demonstration purposes, what I’m gonna do is on my first track, I’m gonna say take 1, take 1, take 1. Normally when you would do this, as I said, you’d want the performer to do the same exact part. I use shift-option-click, the ones that are highlighted I want to switch over to the same input. What I want to do is assign these so they all have the same input. So to start out with I’ll just create a couple audio tracks to work with. The first way is just to give you some intuition about what’s going on, and finally I’ll get to an efficient and more elegant way to do it with Pro Tools. In order to demonstrate this I’m gonna show you a couple different ways to do it. Then discard the parts that you don’t like and you’re not gonna use them. Then what you can do as the mix engineer, is pick and choose the individual part or aspects or lines that you like, and compile those into a single best performance. In reality, each of these takes is slightly different - there’s going to be parts that are good and parts that are bad. The idea is to ask the musician to record multiple takes of the same exact performance. For this reason, many mixing engineers and producers will use a technique called vocal comping or compilation. Many times if you’re recording, it’s very difficult and time-consuming to capture the perfect performance in a single take. This is a demonstration of an efficient way to do vocal comping inside of Pro Tools.
