Phil replied: Sonar has a playlist feature. Hmm, must take a look at this as haven't yet.

Phil replied: suspect you could do this with Sonar's playlist feature.

Phil replied: sounds like your talking about using layers. Still can't really see the point in this as copying and pasting is easier.

Phil replied: Hmm, don't think you will achieve much by going into the clips pane. Still think that cloning the best vocal take then, copying from others on to that one is the easiest method for us. 

Kevin wrote: Just some thoughts.

Phil replied: ditto!

Subject: [ddots-l] comping vocal takes
I wanted to hear what others did for comping different vocal takes into one 
cohesive track.
Copying and paste seems to work well, except that it doesn't take into
account the different volume levels that you may have on respective tracks. 
How do you deal with that?
Do you guys have better success with normalizing before copying and pasting, 
normalizing the different sections or automating after the fact?
