Alternate Takes

Using the Alternate Take option from the Recording Options menu, you can quickly create a new file and set up the track for recording a new take of the last recorded track(s). This is what happens:

1. The last recorded track's File Options Menu's Alternate Take option is executed.
2. The transport rewinds to the point where the last recording started.

If you hold down the Command key while clicking the Alternate Take menu option, a new track will be created. This is what happens:

1. The last recorded track's Play and Rec buttons are deactivated.
2. A new track is added and set to Record mode.
3. A file is created with the same name as the last recorded file, but with a number added. If the name already ended with a number, that number is incremented.
4. The transport's position rewinds to the point where the last recording started.

You can hold down the Shift key while clicking Alternate Take to prevent the transport from rewinding.

Invoking Alternate Take automatically clears the Punch button.
