There are a couple of different ways you can switch between the multiple takes you have recorded. This copy can now be used for comping, giving you the option to return to the original unedited track. If you look at the menu again, you will see a copy has been added to the list. Now left-click on any of the selected tracks' Revolver Track icon and choose 'Create new revolver track (copy)' from the contextual menu. All tracks in between should now be selected and the track headers highlighted. To use Revolver Tracks on multiple tracks, first select the header of the topmost track in your group and then Shift-select the bottom track. They can be managed by left-clicking on the Revolver Track (a revolver-type chamber) icon at the top right corner of the track header or from the Track menu. Use the Revolver Track contextual menu to create new Revolver Tracks or switch between different versions of your edit.These are, in effect, playlists which can be used to create one or more alternative comp edits. Samplitude has a useful feature called Revolver Tracks. (There is also a Project Option to automatically group objects after multi-record: press 'I' to open Project Options.) Revolver Tracks Press 'R' to begin recording, and once you have finished, select the recorded objects and press Ctrl+G to group them. You are now ready to record multiple looped takes. You can extend the range end to the right or left using the keyboard shortcut Shift+right arrow, and range start to the left/right using the left arrow alone. When you're loop recording it also helps sometimes to extend the range some way beyond the end of the punch-out marker to give the performer some breathing space before the next count-in. You will also need Active while Record ticked and, depending on your circumstances, you have the option to enable 'Play VIP during precount' and 'Precount clicks only'.

You will need a count-in as well, so right-click where it says 'click' on the transport panel and set the pre-count measure to the number of bars you require. Now double-click in the top half of the grid in the marker bar to enable a range between these two punch markers. Ensure you have Punch enabled on the transport, and enable Loop Mode by clicking on the transport loop button. This will insert punch-in and out markers. This is done by positioning the play cursor at the desired punch-in and out positions and clicking the transport panel's 'in' and 'out' buttons. To do so, first set your punch-in and out markers to encompass the section you wish to record.
#SAMPLITUDE PRO X2 COPY TRACK HOW TO#
I'm going to begin by showing you how to use the Take Manager to comp multitrack drums, but before that, let's look at how you record multiple takes in loop mode. Samplitude provides two different methods of doing this: the Take Manager and the Take Composer. Samplitude Pro X has several powerful tools for compiling the perfect performance from multiple takes.įor those not familiar with the process known as comping, it involves recording the same part a number of times, before editing the best sections from these recordings into one composite take.
