Comping : tone or timing ?

PhMarne

Hi everybody!

I'm currently comping voice takes for the first time and I would like to know which of two takes I should keep between two with correct pitch:
- the one with the best timing
- the one with the best tone
I would like to chose that with the best tone, and try to slice and shift it so that it would fit the tempo, but I'm not sure I'll succeed

Thanks!

If your editing skills are good enough to change the timing to your liking, go with the one with better tone. You can also always re-record if you wish, but that's just my opinion. Go with your gut!
