the Region List causes Pro Tools to highlight
that region’s occurrence in a track.

User Time Stamp. This option helps you com-
pare different sections from a group of related
takes.
Tracks Section

samples.

rently chosen in the View menu determine the
units for the names.

tion also recall the track in which the selection
