In order to demonstrate this I’m gonna show you a couple different ways to do it. Then discard the parts that you don’t like and you’re not gonna use them.

Then what you can do as the mix engineer, is pick and choose the individual part or aspects or lines that you like, and compile those into a single best performance. In reality, each of these takes is slightly different - there’s going to be parts that are good and parts that are bad. The idea is to ask the musician to record multiple takes of the same exact performance. For this reason, many mixing engineers and producers will use a technique called vocal comping or compilation. Many times if you’re recording, it’s very difficult and time-consuming to capture the perfect performance in a single take. This is a demonstration of an efficient way to do vocal comping inside of Pro Tools.
