Match: Start Position
Replaces all regions
that have the same original start time as the
selected region. This includes regions that
may have been auto-created when trim-
ming end points.
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 trim-
ming start points.
Match: Region Name Replaces all regions
that have the same name as the selected re-
gion.
✽ Region matching uses all specified Match
criteria. For example, if you select Start Posi-
tion and End Position, all regions from the
same original audio file as your selection with
the same original start and end times will be
replaced.
Find Match On: Target Track
Replaces re-
gions 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 replace-
ment region is smaller than the original re-
gion, the region is placed in the playlist
and any remaining audio from the original
region is removed.
If the replacement region is larger than the
selection, it is placed in the playlist and
trimmed to fit within the length of the
original region.
Fit to: Original Selection Length When the
playlist selection extends beyond the origi-
nal region, the replacement region (if larger
than the original region) is trimmed to fit
within the selection.
Fit to: Replacement Region Length The re-
placement region is placed in its entirety,
regardless of the length of the original re-
gion or selection.
▲ The Replace Region function only works on
a selection 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. If desired, the selec-
tion can extend beyond the region’s end
point, to include material from the replace-
ment region that is longer than the original
region.
2 Command-drag (Macintosh) or Control-
drag (Windows) the replacement region
from the Regions List to the selected re-
gion. The Replace Region dialog opens.
3 If you only want to replace only the orig-
inal region, select Replace Original Region.
– or –
If you want to replace multiple regions, se-
lect Replace All Regions That Match Origi-
nal, and set the Match criteria.
4 Select whether to apply the replacement
to all tracks, or only to the track with the
current selection.
