Comping Multi Mic Session with Tracktion 6

[Ayal]

Hi Guys,
Relatively new migrant to Tracktion 6 from Cubase 6.

So far I've used Tracktion to comp simple one mic recordings, for this "show takes" and the "comp groups" works perfectly. However, when comping a multi mic session I am not able to group the different mic tracks into one take. In Cubase this is possible with "group tracks", where I can simply group the track from each mic across all takes and then comp.

Please check out the image attached for how I set up this session.

Is this simply not possible with Tracktion at the moment or is there a way I have not yet figured out?

I have tried "Unpack to new tracks" and then arrange tracks into folders numbered by take and not by mic but this was not a solution since Tracktion cannot use a folder track as a comp group, (might be a good feature to add ).

This might be a separate issue but does "Ghost Tracks" have anything to do with this, and if not what is this feature for?

I know that I can commit to the sound and bounce the tracks and then comp, rather avoid it at this point.

Otherwise, digging this product and it's modest price

Hi Ayal, there's a couple of ways to do this although ghost tracks are only a visual tool for aligning/viewing related tracks.

You could select the clips you need to comp and then from the properties panel choose "Create Comp". This will render the clips into a new multi-take clip.

Alternatively you could do this with a track-comp. If you select the tracks you want to comp then from the properties panel select "Comp Group" -> "..." -> "Add group" you can swipe-comp a number of tracks together. Bill did an excellent video on this feature here: https://w-edstrom.wistia.com/medias/tvzn6gdwci

Hope one of these options gets you back on track and welcome to Tracktion!
