The selected matching alternate clip (take) re-
places the clip in the main playlist and snaps pre-
cisely to the correct location.
One way to ensure that subsequent recording takes
have the same User Time Stamp (and as such can
be available as matching alternate clips) is to store
punch and loop record selections as Memory Loca-
tions. Then, if you later need to record additional
takes, recall the corresponding Memory Location.
To change the User Time Stamp of other clips so
that they can be available as alternate matching
clips for a specific location, use the
Time Stamp
command in the Clips List menu.
Matches and Multiple Tracks
If you have loop recorded on multiple tracks, and
each track contains multiple takes with identical
User Time Stamps, you can change all takes simul-
taneously.
To switch takes for multiple tracks:
1 Configure the Matching Criteria window (see
“Matching Criteria” on page 705), so that the
following options are enabled:
•
Track Name
•
Selection Range
2 With the Selector tool, select the take range for
each track you want to replace.
3 Do one of the following:
• Right-click the Edit selection and select a differ-
ent matching alternate take from the Matches
submenu.
• Command-click (Mac) or Control-click (Win-
dows) the Edit selection and select a different
take from the Alternates pop-up menu.
The selected take replaces the previous take and
snaps to the correct location on each track.
Automatically Create New
Playlists when Loop
Recording
When loop recording, Pro Tools creates a single
file containing all recording passes where each re-
cording pass is a clip in the file. On the track, only
the last recording pass is present as a clip in the
main playlist. All other clips (recording passes) are
hidden, but can be recalled as matching alternate
clips (takes).
When enabled, the new
Automatically Create New
Playlists When Loop Recording
option in the Oper-
ation Preferences page automatically copies each
clip (take) to a new playlist in the track. This facil-
itates using Playlists view for auditioning and se-
lecting alternate takes.
To automatically create new playlists when loop
recording:
1 Choose Setup > Preferences and click the
Operation tab.
2 In the Recording section, enable the Automati-
cally Create New Playlists When Loop Record-
ing
option.
3 Click OK.
Alternate Takes pop-up menu
