What is the primary purpose of Edit Playlists in Pro Tools?

• A. Add new, select track, press Control-Backslash
• B. To View: View all playlists in lanes
• C. Edit playlists let you A'B audio very quickly without having to duplicate tracks
• D. Press control+option+command-click on playlist selector to hide/view all lanes

Answer: (C)

Edit Playlists let you work with multiple takes on a single track without duplicating tracks. Each take is stored as a separate playlist on that track, so you can audition, cut, trim, and arrange parts from different takes to build a final comp. This makes comping fast and efficient—you can quickly compare options and assemble the best performance on one track, without creating extra copies of the track. The other options describe shortcuts or viewing options, but they don’t capture the core idea of using playlists to assemble audio quickly across takes.
