Selecting Alternate Takes from
the Matching Takes List

After recording multiple takes with loop or
punch recording, you can replace the take cur-
rently residing in a track with the other takes to
audition them in the Timeline.

Each region resulting from a punch or loop
record pass has an identical start time (the User
Time Stamp
). This allows you to easily select and
audition alternate takes from the Matches pop-
up menu, even while the session play or loops.

To select an alternate take:

1

Right-click with the Selector tool in the loop

or punch range.

2

Choose Matches from the pop-up menu and

choose a take from the list of Alternates that ap-
pears. The alternate region replaces the previous
take and snaps precisely to the correct location.

3

Repeat the above steps to audition any addi-

tional alternate takes.
