Struggling with too many vocal takes? You nailed the perfect take, then recorded five more “just in case.” Now you’re lost in a sea of options, wondering how to create the perfect comp without losing your mind.

In this episode of Inside the Mix, Marc Matthews and Tim Benson (Aisle9) reveal their proven strategies for organising takes and building seamless vocal comps. Learn how to avoid over-recording, why comping during the editing phase keeps your mixing sessions stress-free, and the ideal number of takes before vocal fatigue hits.

We’ll cover:

How to organise multiple takes efficiently in your DAW
The right way to edit without clicks or pops
Why real double-tracking beats any plugin
How to manage performance anxiety and red light syndrome

Whether you’re producing your music or working with artists, this episode gives you practical tools to streamline your workflow and get pro results, without the chaos.
