If you are going to do this, however, it’s advisable to leave the channels in Waveform view rather than Playlist view, as this can get overwhelming in terms of screen real estate. Any edits made to one channel will now also be made to all of the edits in the other groups, so you can quickly edit together a drum comp from various takes without having to do any additional work to ensure phase accuracy between each channel. If you want to use this technique on multi-mic’ sources, such as drum kits, simply create an Edit Group for all the drum channels before you record. Highlight any audio you want to keep and press the up arrow (next to the Solo button) to move it to the xxx.COMP Playlist. Loop up a section of audio and play it back, listening to each take in turn by pressing the solo button on each take. Remember that any plug-ins on the channel will be active as you audition each take. This becomes the active Playlist and all the takes are reached by pressing the Solo button on the relevant Playlist track. By default, the most recent recording will be the active take and we find it useful at this point to create one more empty playlist, titled ‘xxx.COMP’. Once you’ve recorded your takes, you can use the Playlist view in the Edit window to show all of the recordings.
PRO TOOLS RECORDING TAKES IN PLAYLIST PRO
Even more efficient still is to use Loop Record with the ‘Automatically Create New Playlists When Loop Recording’ preference turned on in the Operation pane of the Pro Tools Preferences window. This will open the New Playlist dialogue box for naming the new Playlist.
You can create a new Playlist by clicking on the drop-down menu icon to the right of the channel name in the Edit Window, and selecting New from the menu. However, all of the playlist channels are played through the same mixer channel, and only one channel can be heard at once. You can view all of them at once, edit each one separately and even move clips from one recording to another. Playlists behave a lot like recording to new channels in the Edit window. However, this is cumbersome and Pro Tools has a built-in mechanism called Playlists, which places each new take onto the same channel, which can be shown or hidden at any time. One way around this is to record each new take onto a new channel, muting previous takes.
