Not quite. Samplitude Pro added this feature over a year ago and you can do so much more. For instance... you can not only comp over a section but you can actually comp over from a different portion of the takes or even add to the 8 bar measure to make a 16 bar measure. Sorta like chopping and splicing your takes however you like. Ableton is getting there... they're just taking the scenic route. Samplitude Pro added MPE function a year ago too. Still on the fence whether MPE is truly the evolution of MIDI considering the weirdo touch keys on those MPE keybed instruments. Seems more gimmicky than anything.
Sonic Foundry Vegas => Sony Vegas Pro >> Magic Vegas Pro vidéo but it's paradigms more suited to sound & music So the TAKE functions were fantastic for both sound & video I used it as live music instrument Often with still images Pre: Ableton Delighted to find this in Live 11 now
@@Bronwyn031 which of those functions regarding comping can't you do in Ableton. The video is jsut showcasing the basic, you can still cut and paste and add more sections without problem.
Ableton could have done better with this honestly. It’s really basic and late to the party. It’s time for Ableton to something ground breaking again. This is kinda basic. And she’s right, Samplitude in some ways is 10 years ahead of some DAWs in certain features.
@@beatchewup Same! I literally just spent half an hour watching random RU-vid videos, trying to figure out why I couldn't see the "show take lanes" option. Thank JVDA Beats, you're a star!!!
Video should mention performing take comping on multiple tracks, such as how you would use comping for a multi mic'd drum kit recording. If you link a group of tracks, you can perform identical comping on multiple tracks at once.
It's things like this (I'm including the multi-track comping) that help to make Ableton Live my favorite DAW. I love that you don't make it a pain to edit parts of the takes after you've comped them. They remain easy to edit, and easy to re-comp. And comping drums is at least 4X easier now with the multi-track comping. Thank you!
@@HateSupreme crazy right. live 10 when buffer was at 128 working gangbusters. live 11 buffer same computer ready to take off or meltdown whichever it prefers in the moment. buffer at 1024 all gravy but cant deal with the latency for tracking. cant catch a f**king break with the cpu. its made me start using Studio One more. till i get it sorted....i will not be buying a new machine anytime soon.
@@HateSupreme disable cpu overload indication and set your meter text to average, Live 10 only showed average cpu load while Live 11 has current cpu load which is much more sensitive to cpu usage and it's operations
@@HateSupreme Had this, too. It was based on two reasons: I used a notebook and notebook CPUs are not the same as desktop CPUs even if they are named similarly. In addition, if the notebooks technical internal design isn't good it runs more often into heat problems, making the OS to slow down the CPU. The next thing was using a multiple monitor setup (external monitor + the notebook display). I could only work with ableton when I disabled one of the displays.
Hi, please have a look at this article in our Knowledge Base in which we explain the new and improved CPU Metering: bit.ly/3qZ4Y1i Should this not help, please get in touch with our Tech Support team here: bit.ly/2c6rO3N They'll be happy to take a closer look at what's causing your higher CPU consumption and assist you with it. Thanks!
Hi there, is it possible to disable "Take Lanes/ Comping" in Ableton live? It automatically creates hundreds of hidden takes and my projects gets ridiculously huge!, any help would be much appreciated.
I think it's a good idea. However, you always have Manage Project to clean-up unused files, but it's an extra step. FYI: Cakewalk Sonar (defunct now, but very far ahead of its time) had this option in the preferences. Please submit a Feature Request to Ableton.
Dear Ableton Live engineers. Please add the mixer pane in arrangement view. Don't ask me how this feature has been overlooked all of these years. Live is the ONLY DAW on the market right now that doesn't have a option to display the channel mixer in its linear sequencer. Just add a tab button at the bottom of the screen where we can select either our plugin chain, clip editor or the mixer pane. I thought for sure you guys and girls would've added it in Live 11... but nope.
@This Guy thanks it works if you just wanna see the track mixer but what we would like is a window to see all tracks mixers at one time, just like cubase, Logic etc.
Thank you so much. May I ask one question? Can I import audio into a comp in Ableton? I'd like to get my vocals recorded at a friend's house but comp them together at home using Ableton. Do you think this might work? My friend uses a different DAW... ah, I saw you answered it already in minute 5:20. It's possible, that's great!😀
Would be awesome if you guys could make The comp lines Polyphonic say for example for layering 3 loops. I hope you understand what I mean ❤️ this would be a killer feature

Hey, thanks for this tuto! I've been ( also )searching this since long time ahah // Stupid question probably but how do you get those different colors on every new take? thanks again :)
Is deleting the selected parts also extremely easy? i guess mostly for the sake of managing the size the project takes , I see how once you collapse the lanes, than it looks nice and clean.
I haven't tried it but in "Preferences" you can select that every new Track (Whether it's MIDI or Audio) has a different color, so I guess that Tracklanes count to that too. But as I said, haven't tried it, so it's up to you. Let me know if this solved it for you.😁🤘
Are you guys working on AI? As a beginner recording vocalist and mixer it'd be so helpful to have an AI that can pick the best parts and stitch it for me, I just set it up and make a bunch of takes.

@@OpenUp. This worked. Thank you! I went to "Look and feel" and found Auto Assign-Track Colors, turned that "On" and changed the Clip Color to "Random"
how does she have it so the previous takes don't play over the live performance? Every time I comp I hear my previous takes as I'm recording and it's super distracting. HALP
Your MIDI arrangement button (the big plus sign + on top of your interface) is most probably on. This was happening top me as well and I was able to fix it.
If you dont want to use the loop function, how do you record straight to a new take lane? For example, if i want to talk to the singer in between takes I dont want to use loop function
Hi there. It's not possible to start recording directly into a take lane like this. You'd need to use a different workflow in that case. For example, you could stop the recording to communicate, then record a new separate audio clip afterward. Thanks - Ableton
Question: Is it possible to choose more than 1 take lane to make the final output, effectively layering take lanes. In her last example with the same pattern but with 3 different synth sounds it might be fun to layer them up, but choose different combinations of layers
Is there a way to not auto-playlist takes while recording? I like to record a take, and if I don't like it, immediately record over it. If I do like it, then I hit the shortcut and playlist it to save it. In Ableton 11 it seems like every take is auto-playlisted no matter what, but maybe there's a way to turn that feature off?
Trying to do comping on a project which was made in AL10, opened it in 11 and comping not working for me here Edit: SOLVED check replies incase u have similar issue
I did indeed try this! Still doesnt work. But i did find a solution!! I literally copied (ctrl c) all my tracks from my 10 project. Pasted them into a New 11 project. Miraculously worked!
This is innovation. I've never seen anything like that in my life... I'm flabbergasted, I'm crying. If only other music softwares had this.... Vocal comping... crazy
Hello, is it possible to use comping by recording only automations, when the midi files already exist? This would be really helpful. If it shouldn't work today please implementation it in further versions!

@@Ableton I previously thought that Lite is basically the same as Intro edition, just named differently to distinguish standalone (Intro) from bundled (Lite) origin - and Lite had the comping on the feature list here: www.ableton.com/en/live/compare-editions/ But I am also not sure if maybe it's something else (like automation) that might be hiding the lanes, or it's simply not available in Lite edition - could you please refer to that? I would appreciate straight and clear answer.
Hi, Lite and Intro are indeed entirely different versions of Live. While Comping may only be available with Intro, Standard, and Suite, multiple automation lanes are fully supported with Lite. In addition to the previously posted link with all the Live Lite features, you can also have a look at the Compare Live editions page in which we list all the features available in the other three versions. Should you have more questions regarding features, feel free to get in touch with us. Cheers!
Just noticed that comping occurs for ALL the playing tracks, depite only one being selected for recording. This creates huge amount of clips out of nowhere :(
