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 Clip 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 Window” on page 472), 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 precisely to the correct location on each
track.
Matching Criteria Window
The Matching Criteria window lets you select the
criteria for matching alternate clips. This lets you
refine the list of available matching clips in the Al-
ternate Takes pop-up menu and Clip Right-click
Matches submenu.
