In many musical styles, you’ll find loops used for everything from basic rhythm tracks to entire compositions. With
Adobe Audition, you can either create your own loops or choose from thousands supplied for free via the Resource
Central panel.
Loops let you create extremely flexible multitrack sessions. Though loops typically contain only one or two bars of
music (four to eight beats), you can extend and repeat them by simply dragging with the mouse.
