Salvatore Sorice Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) SOLVED (kind of). Thanks to @David Baay for his suggestion (see the linked thread below). TLDR: turning on *hide muted clips* under View menu in PRV is an acceptable work around. It has limitations (you have to keep hiding/unhiding clips and speed comping is harder) but it gets the job done. I posted a thread about this in the Sonar Forum: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/topic/83995-feature-request-or-am-i-doing-something-wrong-take-lane-note-overlap/ Working with Comping Take Lanes when Midi notes overlap is very difficult. It would be great if there was a toggle button that would hide all the unselected take lanes so you only see (and can easily edit) the one in focus (similar to the track "Auto Focus" and "Auto Lock toggles")? Example: I'm trying to record a piano Intro and am comping. Since the takes are very similar, I end up with takes, when viewed in Piano Roll View (PRV), that have lots of notes "stacked" on top of each other - making editing very challenging. I know that when you select a take lane its notes get "highlighted" (white notes in my screenshot), but there are so many other notes from other take lanes that overlap. Seems like it would be easier if there was an option to "hide" other takes, so all you see is the selected take you that you want to edit. This is what I get with 3 takes of a very similar piano part. Due to all the takes being displayed at once, editing is nearly impossible.

Starship Krupa Posted Sunday at 04:03 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:03 PM There's an aspect of this that still constitutes a feature request: there should be a way to also suppress display of notes that are in muted lanes, not just muted clips. It's easier to mute an entire lane than it is to mute all of the individual clips in a lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tagging @Noel Borthwick. I'm sure Noel is a busy guy these days but he is also very responsive and takes improvement ideas seriously. Hats off to Noel!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
