When bouncing or performing mixes back into Pro Tools, we can also save multiple mix versions, punch in, and edit the best mix sections together.
Duplicating playlists allows us to preserve the original performances while trying out multiple edited versions and to save safety copies before conducting destructive processes such as rendering Audiosuite plugins, consolidating, etc.
It’s a good idea to edit on a duplicated playlist to be able to go back to the original if need be. It puts the original clip on it that way, you don’t lose music. Engaging layered editing automatically creates a new playlist if you record over an existing clip. In PT 12.6 and up, selecting Preferences>Editing> sends fully overlapped clips to available playlists while editing/recording. Each time it loops to a new recording, it creates a separate playlist. Selecting Preferences>Operation automatically creates new playlists while loop recording and does what it says. Adding shift (Control-Opt-Shift-\) creates new playlists only on selected tracks. As always in Pro Tools, the option key means “do this to all,” so Control-Option-\ creates a new Pro Tools playlist on all tracks (including inactive ones). To add a new playlist on a single selected track, use Control-\ (backslash). However, faster and spiffier than mousing around is using shortcuts, a summary of which is found at the end of this article. New or duplicate playlists can be created from the menu next to the track’s name in the Edit Window, designated by a downturned triangle. It is wise to rename duplicated playlists appropriately (by double-clicking on the name), and for instance, using “Gtr Solo Edit.” That way, Playlist.01 will designate take one. It is advisable to start any new project by first creating new playlists on all recording tracks so that the recorded playlists will start with the suffix.

Knowing how to get around playlists quickly opens many possibilities and options. A stack of playlists cut to the same click allows quick editing and compiling of our favorite bits of each performance into a finished song. Playlists allow us to save and switch between multiple performances, whether of entire band tracks or vocal or instrumental takes. One key to quick and effective recording is the use of Pro Tools playlists.
