Take Layers in Studio One are a valuable tool, both for those working in a large recording studio and those working alone. Take Layers automate the process of recording multiple takes which can then be auditioned to create the perfect comped track.

Comping tracks is not a new process and has been used by top producers and engineers for decades and is very common when recording vocal parts.

In this set of video tutorials Paul Drew, session guitarist, producer and Studio One Expert shows how to record with Take Layer in Studio One and also how to create a set of Layers from tracks that were not created using Take Layers.

Once you realise how easy it is to create Take Layers and the creative possibilities available to you when recording and mixing you’ll wonder why you haven’t been using them before.
