Selecting Alternate Takes
After recording multiple takes with loop or
punch recording, you can replace the current
take in the track’s active playlist with any of the
previous takes. All takes are numbered sequen-
tially.
Selecting Alternate Takes from the
Region List
To select a take from the Region List:
1 In the Edit window, select the current region
(take) with the Time Grabber tool.
2 Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac) dif-
ferent regions in the Region List to audition
them.
3 Start-drag (Windows) or Control-drag (Mac)
the region you want from the Region List into
the playlist.
The region replaces the previous take and snaps
precisely to the correct location.
Selecting Alternate Takes on a Track
Each region resulting from a punch or loop
record pass has an identical start time (the User
Time Stamp). You can select and audition alter-
nate takes from the Right-click Matches sub-
menu or the Alternate Takes pop-up menu—
even during playback.
To select an alternate take:
1 Ensure that Track ID (or Track Name) is se-
lected and that Region Start is selected in the
Matching Criteria window (see “Matching Crite-
ria Window” on page 384).
2 Do one of the following:
• Right-click the region with the Selector or
the Grabber tool, and select a matching al-
ternate take from the Matches submenu in
the pop-up menu.
• If the take currently residing in the track is
selected, Control-click (Windows) or Com-
mand-click (Mac) anywhere on the selected
take with the Selector tool, and select a dif-
ferent take from the Alternate Takes pop-up
menu.
• With the Selector tool, Control-click (Win-
dows) or Command-click (Mac) at the pre-
cise beginning of the loop or punch range
and select a different take from the Alter-
nate Takes pop-up menu.
The selected matching alternate region (take) re-
places the region in the main playlist and snaps
precisely to the correct location.
