Cleanest way of working with multiple consolidated segments?

Post by BlueCalx » Thu Aug 17, 2017 10:59 am

So.

Say I'm jamming with 6 or 7 tracks, switching between them continuously, and afterwards I find a particular 4 bar snippet I like - what's the cleanest way of working with a segment when it is the sum total of numerous tracks (and therefore quite dense to dissect)?

At the moment I'm running the cursor down the section of the jam in the arrangement screen, so that the section is highlighted across all of the tracks, and then consolidating. After that I move the new clips back in to their respective tracks in the session view so I can loop them (and also to make sure they stay together in one "scene").....

Is this the optimum way to isolate and catalogue a given section of a jam if it is spread over separate tracks?

Any tips massively appreciated.

Cheers!

Sounds like it. I don't know of a different way.
