Playlists in Logic? Or somethings like that.

Coming from a Pro Tools backround (yes i am now a Logic fan), it has an idea that is called playlists. What you can do is record/mix/arrange several versions/takes of a song, in the same position of a timeline, by creating a playlists of each track. So imaging your arrange window having layers of tracks that you can recall to the front an listen to, then swap in real time between takes, yet the song continues to play. so you can mix and match between takes as you want.
Does Logic have a similar function. I have recorded several takes of a song, but would like to be able to swap, without having to jump around on the timeline.
If anyone has any idea of what I'm talking about, and how to achieve this, I would be very appreciative. (I do have to say though - Logic rocks!)

Cheers,

another useful feature in logic that i use for multiple takes when using a click is the return to original record position function.

do 1 take with the band
drag off to the right
next take in the same place on the timeline.
etc

then it's easy enough to listen between takes quickly and if you need to do edits just select the sections that you need from the other takes and, return to original record postion.

like the idea of using folders too but i've never felt the need for them so far. maybe if you're dealing with high track counts...

folders are highly recommended in this case! record several takes on different audio tracks, and pack them into a folder (Apple+F).

Far more intuitive for comping takes than playlists, IMO.

set up an aux or a bus with the processing you require, and send all relevant tracks to it. no playlist that i am aware of in logic.
