Expanding Alternate Takes to New
Playlists or Tracks

Pro Tools lets you copy alternate takes to new
playlists or tracks. This is especially useful for au-
ditioning, editing, and mixing multiple alter-
nate takes or channels. Alternate takes are cre-
ated when punch and loop recording.

Expanding Alternate Takes to New
Playlists

Expanding alternate takes to new playlists
readily facilitates track compositing. Once you
have expanded alternate takes to new playlists
on a track, you can audition and edit them in
Playlists view to assemble the best takes in the
main playlist.

To expand alternate takes to new playlists:

Identify the region on the main playlist with

matching alternate regions (takes).

Do one of the following:

• Right-click the region and choose Matches

> Expand Alternates To New Playlists

• If the region is selected, with the Selector

tool, Control-click (Windows) or Com-
mand-click (Mac) anywhere on the selected
region and choose Matches > Expand Alter-
nates To New Playlists

• If the region is not selected, with the Selec-

tor tool, Control-click (Windows) or Com-
mand-click (Mac) at the precise beginning
of the loop or punch range and choose
Matches > Expand Alternates To New Playl-

ists

All matching alternate regions are copied to new
playlists on the track. To view all playlists for the
track, select Playlists view. In any track view,
you can also select any available alternate playl-
ist as the main playlist from the Playlist selector.
