Match: End Position Replaces all regions that
have the same original end time as the selected
region. This includes regions that may have
been auto-created when trimming start points.
Match: Region Name Replaces all regions that
have the same name as the selected region.
Region matching uses all specified Match crite-
ria. For example, if you select Start Position and
End Position, all regions from the same original
audio file as your selection with the same origi-
nal start and end times will be replaced.
Find Match On: This Track Only Replaces regions
that fit the Match criteria and are on the same
track as the original region.
Find Match On: All Tracks Replaces regions that
fit the Match criteria for all tracks in the session.
Fit To: Original Region Length If the replacement
region is smaller than the original region, the re-
gion is placed in the playlist and any remaining
audio from the original region is removed.
If the replacement region is larger than the se-
lection, it is placed in the playlist and trimmed
to fit within the length of the original region.
Fit To: Original Selection Length When the play-
list selection extends beyond the original re-
gion, the replacement region (if larger than the
original region) is trimmed to fit within the se-
lection.
Fit To: Replacement Region Length The replace-
ment region is placed in its entirety, regardless
of the length of the original region or selection.
The Replace Region function only works on a se-
lection that includes a single region on one
track. The function is not available when the
playlist selection includes the start points for
two or more regions. Also, if the selection is
across several tracks, only the selection in the
first (top) track is used.
To replace regions:
1 Select a region in a track’s playlist that you
want to replace. The selection can extend be-
yond the region’s end point, to include material
from the replacement region that is longer than
the original region.
2 Control-drag (Windows) or Command-drag
(Macintosh) the replacement region from the
Regions List to the selected region. The Replace
Region dialog opens.
3 If you want to replace only the original region,
select Replace Original Region.
– or –
If you want to replace multiple regions, select
Replace All Regions That Match Original, and
set the Match criteria.
4 Select whether to apply the replacement to all
tracks, or only to the track with the current se-
lection.
5 Select whether to fit the replacement regions
to the current selection, the entire region, or the
entire replacement region regardless of the des-
tination length.
6 When you have set all the options, click OK.
