  Duplicate Track Alternative    ⌃⌥⌘D

This looks interesting. I haven’t really paid attention to track alternatives — they use the same channel strip and plugins which is typically what I want to manipulate.

My typical workflow is to separate the interesting part into a new region and place that region on a new track. I can manipulate as much as I want, only affecting the isolated region(s). It is clearer to me working this way as opposed to doing region-based processing which I might use for repair. Think special processing on chorus vs. verse.

Use track alternatives — Logic Pro X

You can create and edit track alternatives and switch between them. Each alternative can contain different regions or arrangements, while sharing the same channel strip and plug-ins. Track alternatives are like “playlists” for individual tracks that can be used to try out different ideas or archive tracks at different stages of development.
