Working with Loops
You can make any audio clip into a loop by checking the Enable Looping checkbox
in the Clip Properties dialog. Once looping is enabled, you can drag out loops to
create multiple repetitions. There are several other ways to enable looping:
To Enable or Disable a Clip for Looping
1. Double-click on the clip you want to loop.
The Loop Construction view appears.
2. In the Loop Construction view, click the Enable Looping button .
Or
In the Track view, select a clip and press Ctrl+L or select Edit-Groove Clip
Looping.
To Create Repetitions of a Loop
1. Set the Snap value if you want the loop to repeat at precise time boundaries.
2. Move the cursor over the end of the loop-enabled clip until the cursor looks
like this .
3. When the cursor changes, click the end or beginning of the clip and drag it to
the right (if you are dragging out from the end) or left (if you are dragging
from the beginning).
The clip repeats itself until you stop dragging.
To Create Partial Repetitions of a Loop
1. Move the cursor over the end of the loop-enabled clip until the cursor looks
like this .
2. When the cursor changes, click the end or beginning of the clip and drag it to
the right (if you are dragging out from the end) or left (if you are dragging
from the beginning).
If the Snap to Grid button is on, you can create a partial loop as small as the Snap
to Grid setting allows. For example, if your Snap to Grid setting is set to quarter
notes, you can create partial repetitions as small as a quarter of a measure.
