settings in the Duplicate Tracks dialog. Click
Cancel

to close the dialog and not create dupli-

cate tracks.

In the Mix window, each duplicate track is cre-
ated to the right of its original track. In the Edit
window, each duplicate track is created below its
original track. When duplicating multiple
tracks, you can also choose to have the new
tracks follow the last selected track (or have each
new track follow its source track).

Duplicating VCA Slave Tracks

(Pro Tools HD Only)

Duplicating a VCA slave track without duplicat-
ing its group assignments will coalesce any auto-
mation on the duplicate track. The coalesced
duplicate plays back exactly as if it were in the
VCA group. For more information, see “VCA
Master Tracks” on page 832.

played and edited in the track’s playlist area.
