Poppaa, Playlist is absolutely the way to go here. I never get rid of a take unless it's a partial take, meaning we knew part way in there was problems. I have found a couple of things, if you lay your projects out the same way every time it's a lot easier to quickly navigate from point a to point b. An example, and while many may not like this approach it's worked for me. I always lay the ryth section of my project far left, meaning it's the first tracks I creat. Then drums and bass are in the middle, lastly, vocals, harmonies aux tracks are near the end. When tracking vocals, I always create a playlist, called vox whoever's singing T1. Then once the take is complete, I instantly name my next take. I personally keep notes as to which takes as well as at what marker have parts I prefer. this way if I do decide to comp, I can quickly go back to say, t3, chorus 2 which maybe at marker 4. This saves lots of time when working with various vocal tracks. I do the same with guitar parts or piano parts as well. I believe by default PT will auto save every 5 minutes, so there's a good chance you still have that track in a backup file with in your sessions folder.
