Matching Alternate Regions

Pro Tools lets you exchange regions in the main
playlist on tracks with matching alternate re-
gions from other playlists associated with the
same track, from other tracks, or from the Re-
gion List. Matching alternate regions are regions
that meet certain criteria. For example, regions
that have the same User Time Stamp are matches.

There are several ways to create matching alter-
nate regions in Pro Tools:

• When punch recording (audio or MIDI),

Pro Tools creates matching regions for the
original region (if any) and the new punch re-
corded region.

• When loop recording (audio or MIDI),

Pro Tools creates multiple matching regions
for each recording pass.

• When duplicating playlists (audio or MIDI),

there will be matching alternate regions be-
tween playlists.

• When importing multichannel audio from a

field recorder, there will be matching alternate
regions between channels.

Pro Tools also provides several ways to access
and audition multiple matching alternate re-
gions:

• Use the Region Right-click menu to select

matching alternate regions according to cer-
tain criteria.

• Use the Alternate Takes pop-up menu to select

matching alternate regions.

• Use the Expand Alternates to New Tracks com-

mand to copy matching alternate regions to
new tracks.

• Use the Expand Alternates to New Playlists

command to copy matching alternate regions
to new alternate playlists on the same track.
Then use Playlists view to access the alternate
playlists.
