Hello!
I'm using T2 for about 2 weeks and I am very happy with it - stable, comfortable, straigt forward workflows etc.
, but I can't figure out, how to do an overdub on the same track, without hearing the previous recorded take.
It would be nice, to have an behaviour like in the loop-record mode - every new record mutes the previous recorded. The only workaround is, to record on a new track, but in this case, I must set the inputdevice again, the effect etc. and I don't want eight different tracks only for some varations.
Any suggestions !?
Happy T2-ing !

Mute the track, turn off end-to-end and use direct monitoring is one tactic that you could use, but it seems like a lot of muscle for what could/should be a fairly basic task.
Other options include muting your underlying clips manually if you're not going to make a million takes; otherwise, if you ARE going to make a million takes, you'll make yourself less crazy in the long run by straight-up CTRL+M (delete clip AND its source file, so be careful!!!!) when you know a clip has been superceded by something far better.
Ideally, though, there'd be an option for "Play back only the top audio clip" and then a better way of cycling through them than "bring obscured clip to front".

Yes, you're right! Some "layered" takes on a single track (where the top audio clip mutes the others), would also give the possibility, to create a composite take, made of the best parts of all takes, only by using the trimming functions (start&endpoint). It's my most wanted feature for the wishlist

Yeah, making composites from "loop record mode" takes is a dream, so it'd be cool to have that functionality for ANY overlapping clips. I'm very much into this feature request.

Seems like such a no-brainer! I track on an SDR, punches always override the previous layer, Sonar has the option to "Blend old with new" or "Replace old with new". This definitely needs to be an option.

Another thing to consider using in the meantime as a partial fix was brought to my attention by valley:
Resize the overlapping clips so that only the 'kept' parts are visible and then with the clip(s) selected, go to "delete region" at the bottom and delete either the parts of the selected clips that overlap, or the parts of the OTHER clips that overlap.
