As we had discussed before, takes are simply versions of the same material. Let's go back to the first situation. You recorded a verse and would like to do a different version, because the one you just heard was perhaps a bit dull but you still liked it. One possible way to do this would be:
Thankfully osara makes this rather easy to do. So we have three tracks up to this point. Lets try selecting tracks 1 and 3 only.
#ensure that repeat is off by pressing control plus r.
#go to the top of the track list with the up arrow
#we will open the metronome and pre-roll settings dialog by using alt plus shift plus m. Press shift plus tab about three times to enable the pre-roll before recording, and then tab twice to find an edit box that lets you specify the number of measures. When you are done, press enter to save your changes.
#now press shift plus space, and you will hear the message: "noncontiguous selection". Keep in mind that track one is still selected.
#locate the beginning of the first verse by using any of the navigation commands. Ensure that no breaths or other audible noises are present when playback starts, then set the start of the time selection there.
#you can now use shift plus down arrow, and you will notice that track two will not be selected. Press shift plus down arrow again, and you will now hear that track three is also unselected.
#Do the same for the end of the verse, and set the end of the time selection
#at this point you should press shift plus space to select track three.
#audition and adjust the time selection as necessary
#check your selection by using control plus shift plus space. You should hear two tracks named, one and three.
#open the options menu and arrow down once. You should hear: Record mode: time selection auto punch. Press enter
And that's it. Pressing shift space repeatedly will toggle between selecting and unselecting what you have just focused, in this case track three. You may now control these two tracks at once.
#Now, ensure that your track is armed, and that you hear yourself through the monitors, then move to the start of the time selection and press r. You will hear the audio just before the verse, then the audio should be gone or silent, for you to record in a new version or variation. It will come back in when you are done. Press space when you are finished.
#Repeat this as many times as you wish.
