There are a number of variations of this technique some people edit all the tracks into separate phrases and make their selections by muting and unmuting regions. When you take out these sections, it is best to leave the gaps in the take tracks intact, as they give you a visual indication of which phrase the take came from. Once you have identified the best take of a phrase, edit and drag it onto your comp track. You then listen to each track, one phrase at a time, and compare the various takes. All the 'take tracks' and the 'comp track' are then routed via busses to a common Aux track, on which the necessary processing is applied using insert plug-ins. For this approach, the various takes are laid out in the Edit window with each take on its own track, and an additional track serving as a destination for our chosen parts. The first is to use multiple Pro Tools tracks with the same processing applied to each. There are two basic ways of achieving this. To comp a performance, we take the best elements from the various raw takes and edit them into a master vocal track. Vocal compositing or 'comping' for short is usually the first stage in producing a good vocal line. In this month's Pro Tools Notes we are going to look at how we deal with these raw takes to turn them into a polished vocal line.

In a vocal session you would normally record a number of takes and/or do drop-ins to patch up an otherwise good take. We look at a range of techniques you can try to help you produce a better vocal sound for your project. All these tracks are then routed to an Aux track (bottom) with the necessary compression, EQ and so on.

One approach to vocal comping is to have each take on a separate track, with an extra track (top) for the chosen parts.
