ically trimmed version of the original

selection.

to copy and choose Edit > Copy.

Replacing Regions

(TDM Systems Only)

You can use the Replace Region function to

replace multiple instances of a region in a

playlist with another region that you Com-

mand-drag (Macintosh) or Control-drag

(Windows) from the Regions List.

This is useful in post-production if you use

a sound effect, room noise, or atmosphere

region many times in a session, and later

decide to replace one or all of the original

regions with a different region.

This is also useful in music production if

you want to replace a certain loop or sam-

ple (for example, a drum beat) with a new

one. You can use this compositionally, if

you know the tempo of a section or session,

to create a scratch piece with “rough” re-

gions of the correct length, and later re-

place them with “final” regions of the same

length.

The following options are available in the

Replace Region dialog:

Replace Original Region Replaces only the

selected region with the replacement re-

gion dragged from the Regions List.

Replace All Regions That Match Original Re-

places all regions that fit the Match criteria

and the Find Match On criteria with the re-

placement region from the Regions List.
