2 Click the arrow in the top right of the take folder, then choose “Flatten and Merge” from
the pop-up menu (or use the “Flatten and Merge Take Folder” key command).
The take folder is replaced with multiple regions that represent the current comp
selections, and all take region sections not used in the current comp are deleted. The
new regions are then merged to create a new audio file in the Arrange area. The newly
created audio file matches the size of the take folder—independent of the start position
of the first region or the end position of the last region.
If you want to flatten a take folder without deleting the original take folder and its unused
content, see Exporting Takes or Comps to New Tracks.
Unpacking Take Folders
You can unpack take folders using the original channel strip for all new tracks, or you can
unpack take folders using different channel strips for each new track. Both methods
replace the selected take folder—or take folders—with new audio tracks for each take
and each comp. The first audio track reflects the active comp, followed by the takes and
remaining comps in the order they appear in the take folder’s pop-up menu.
