Editing Pro Tools (section)

=== Field recorder workflows ===
Pro Tools reads embedded metadata in media files to manage multichannel recordings made by [[Field recording|field recorders]] in production sound. All stored metadata (such as scene and [[take]] numbers, tape or sound roll name, or production comments) can be accessed in the Workspace browser.{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=1333–1336|loc=59.

Analogous audio clips are identified by overlapping [[Linear timecode|longitudinal timecode]] (LTC) and by one or more user-defined criteria (such as matching file length, file name, or scene and take numbers). An audio segment can be replaced from matching channels (for example, to replace audio from a [[boom microphone]] with the audio from a [[lavalier microphone]]) while maintaining edits and fades in the timeline, or any matching channels can be added to new tracks.{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=1341–1346|loc=59.
