How it works
Comping
(default) No Yes Yes When recording,
previously recorded
material on the track is not
heard. When a recording
is done, the newly
recorded material is heard
and all other takes are
time-muted for the
duration of the new
material.
Overwrite No No (new material
overwrites existing
material) No (unless global
Store Takes in
Separate Tracks
option is enabled in
Edit >
Preferences >
Project - Record
)
The new material
replaces (overwrites) any
existing material. This
means that portions of
existing clips may be
“wiped clean” to make
room for newly recorded
material. While recording,
you will not be able to
hear material from
existing clips.
Sound on
Sound Yes No Yes The new material is
merged with any existing
material. This means that
any existing clips on the
track are left unchanged
and all newly recorded
material is stored in new
clips. While recording, you
will be able to hear
material from existing
clips.
