Playback and Recording : Audio Recording : Alternate Takes : Selecting Alternate Takes

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 sequentially.
Selecting Alternate Takes from the Clip List
To select a take from the Clip List:
1 In the Edit window, select the current clip (take) with the Time Grabber tool.
2 Option-click (Mac) or Alt-click (Windows) different clips in the Clip List to audition them.
3 Control-drag (Mac) or Start-drag (Windows) the clip you want from the Clip List into the playlist.
The clip replaces the previous take and snaps precisely to the correct location.
Selecting Alternate Takes on a Track
Each clip resulting from a punch or loop record pass has an identical start time (the User Time Stamp). You can select and audition alternate takes from the Right-click Matches submenu or the Alternate Takes pop-up menu—even during playback.
To select an alternate take:
1 Ensure that Track ID (or Track Name) is selected and that Clip Start is selected in the Matching Criteria window (see Matching Criteria Window).
2 Do one of the following:
*   
Right-click the clip with the Selector or the Grabber tool, and select a matching alternate take from the Matches submenu in the pop-up menu.
 
*   
If the take currently residing in the track is selected, Command-click (Mac) or Control-click (Windows) anywhere on the selected take with the Selector tool, and select a different take from the Alternate Takes pop-up menu.
*   
With the Selector tool, Command-click (Mac) or Control-click (Windows) at the precise beginning of the loop or punch range and select a different take from the Alternate Takes pop-up menu.
 
The selected matching alternate clip (take) replaces the clip in the main playlist and snaps precisely 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 Locations. 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 Clip List menu.
