I often record instruments from more than one source. For example, I may have both a mic on an amp and a direct box for guitar recordings.
I am new to the comping feature, but in the manual it only talks about using the feature for mono tracks, like voice.
I would love to be able to comp 8 tracks of drums with one 'swipe' as the manual says.
Has anyone tried this? Is it possible to link 8 tracks together and treat them as one 'instrument' for purposes of comping?

You can twist perceptions, reality won't budge.

Very close perhaps, but he is still comping one track at a time. I guess what I want to do is have two sets of 8 drum tracks and put them into two separate folders then do my swiping on the folder track, rather than having to fumble over 16 individual tracks, swiping one at a time.
The video is excellent but I wish he had shown how you comp SETS of tracks not just individual stand-alone takes.
Anyway, thanks for pointing it out. I will do some experimentation at this point.

After trying it out I found that it still won't let you select all clips in a comp group...you would have to swipe each take separately and hope for the best with timing.
It would be nice if there would be a way to do it, since it is not unusual to composite multi-track performances.
I will go back to the old razor blade method unless a kind soul knows how to do this in the current version.
Thanks
