Suppose I have an audio track with a kick sample placed to play a rhythm. Is there a way to quickly audition new samples playing the same rhythm as the track plays?

Project Panel ("sheet of paper" icon in bottom right) -> "Files" tab -> "Replace" when you hover on the sample name

Thanks Antic604! I was hoping to be able to audition replacement samples as the track plays. Is there a way to do that. If it is possible using the method above, my apologies for being dense.

I'm not aware of any other way.

That's why it's safer to use Sampler or Drum Machine - where you can always hot-swap sample - and then just bouce the audio once you're happy with your choices.

Try the replacer in combination with drum machine. Let the kick trigger the replacer., and off you go.
