Conditions for Alternate Channel
Availability
An alternate channel is available to replace the
original channel (represented by the region re-
siding on the Timeline) if both channels are part
of a recording made simultaneously on one or
more field recorders, and if the metadata cap-
tured during shooting has been preserved prior
to import into Pro Tools.
With multichannel recordings from one field re-
corder, both channels must overlap at least once
between their start time code and end time code
positions, and must also meet one of the follow-
ing conditions:
• Matching Tape
• Matching Soundroll
• Alternate channel Sound Roll matches cur-
rent channel Tape
• Alternate channel Tape matches current
channel Sound Roll
With multichannel recordings from multiple
field recorders, both channels must overlap at
least once between their start time code and end
time code positions, and must also meet one of
the following conditions:
• Matching Scene and Take
• Matching Shoot Date
To replace a region with a matching alternate
channel from a channel group:
1 In the Timeline, select the region or the por-
tion of the region you want to replace.
2 Right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click
(Mac) the region or the selected portion of the
region you want to replace, and choose
Matches, followed by the name of the region
you want to replace it with.
See the Field Recorder Workflow Guide for
detailed information on workflows for field
recorders.

If the location sound mixer who made the
original recording entered metadata rele-
vant to the actual shot (such as the name of
each miked character), this information will
be displayed in the Matches pop-up menu.
