Replace Region and Multichannel
Tracks
The Replace Region command supports drag-
ging multichannel regions from the Region List
to multichannel tracks, provided they are the
same channel format. For example, you can re-
place a selected stereo region in a stereo audio
track with another stereo region from the Re-
gion List. However, you cannot replace it with
two mono audio regions. Additionally, you can-
not replace regions in multiple mono tracks
with multichannel regions.
Audio Regions from Field
Recorders
Pro Tools provides region replacement tools spe-
cifically for field recording workflows. For audio
imported from a field recorder, you can replace
regions on tracks with alternate channels and
you can expand multiple channels to new
tracks.
Replacing a Region with an
Alternate Channel
(Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools LE with
DV Toolkit 2 Only)
Pro Tools provides region replacement tools spe-
cifically for field recording workflows. You can
replace a mono region (or selected portion of a
mono region) with a matching segment of an al-
ternate channel that was recorded simulta-
neously. Any fades performed on the original re-
gion are automatically recalculated against the
replacement region, and any pre-existing auto-
mation on that track is unchanged.
To replace a region with a matching alternate
channel:
1
In the Timeline, make a selection that in-
cludes or overlaps the region or portion of the
region you want to replace.
2
Do one of the following:
• With any Edit tool, Right-click (Windows
or Mac) or Control-click (Mac) the selec-
tion you want to replace, then select
Matches from the pop-up menu.
– or –
• With the Selector tool, Control-click (Win-
dows) or Command-click (Mac) the selec-
tion you want to replace.
The Matches submenu displays matching alter-
nate channels under the Channels header. (This
submenu also displays any available alternate
takes under the Alternates header.)
For detailed information on working with
multichannel recordings made with field re-
corders, see the Field Recorder Workflow
Guide.
