Well, if I'm envisioning it correctly, this sounds like another candidate for the list of answers to the question "So what makes Tracktion so great?". I've never used the 'lanes' approach that others are mentioning; only the way DP does it, which might be somewhat close to what Beno describes. Can't wait to work with it.
I'd like to ask my forum pals here if they would like to see the 'Takes' feature carried over to MIDI loop recordings as well. Anybody else feel this would come in handy? In audio, this feature was a deal-breaker for me; in MIDI, it's just something I think would be a nice option.
Thanks Beno for filling us in.

This is basically the loop record and take comping method of Vegas. It works great. Having layers instead of lanes is very efficient; nothing needs to be soloed or muted, screen real estate is maximized, and the final take is assembled as you go.
A very important part of the Vegas implementation is the ability to cycle through the various takes in a clip with a key command ("T" forward; "shift T" reverse). That way a problem word or phrase can be split out and the various choices auditioned while looping without having to use the mouse or call up a menu. (A list of the possible takes is also always available with a right click on the clip.)
I'm really glad this is the implementation chosen for Tracktion; I think others unfamiliar with it will be as well once they get a chance to work with it. I've always maintained that comping vocals is easier -- to my knowledge -- in Vegas than in any other system yet developed, hardware or software.
Good choice, Jules.
