Alternates Match Options
The following Alternates Match options can be
selected in any combination:
Track ID Any regions recorded to the same track
are considered matching. Use this option for se-
lecting alternate takes from loop or punch re-
cording.
Track Name Any regions that share the same
root name with the track or playlist are consid-
ered matching. For example, the Matches for a
track named "Gtr.L" would show the regions
"Gtr.L_01" and "Gtr.L_02-01," but not "Gui-
tar.L_01."
Region Rating Any regions that have the same
Rating are considered matching. Enable this op-
tion if you have rated regions (see "Rating Re-
gions" on page 509).
