    Save a new version of the session file by going File > Save Session As.... Let's say your session file is called "Take Me Away v01.6", it would become v01.7.
  2. 2
    Select your master comp playlist take, and Duplicate... the playlist.
  3. 3
    Add to each track "-Comp.BD". For example, the kick drum track would be named "Drm.Kick-Comp.BD", and the rack tom track would be called "Drm.Tom 1 Rack-Comp.BD".
  4. 4

  5. 5
