Lily recently wrote a song, and I've been helping them record it. Igot us set up to record four tracks (vocals, drums, keyboard x2) andwe did a bunch of takes:
Most of the takes are full-length, but after we got a really niceversion of the end we did some rounds with just the beginning becausethere was a part where we weren't quite together on a transition.
What I'd like to do now is edit this into a single composition, afterwhich we'll probably do some overdubbing. The problem is everything Ican find assumes your takes are already time-aligned because yourecorded to either a click or a scratch track. The ideal flow forwhat I have would be:
Treat each take as a single unit, like a section of multi-track tape.
Edit together pieces from different takes into a approximatelyright overall piece.
Tweak the placement of cuts so that different tracks can switchbetween takes at slightly different places, based on what eachinstrument is doing at the time.
Is there good tooling for this? I'm using Reaper for my DAW, but couldconsider using something else if it made this flow better.
