Question about looping something in ableton.

Post by omniSense » Thu Jun 03, 2010 12:10 pm

Hello.. I am trying to get a track to loop in ableton. Currently you hit play once and it goes one loop, and stops after that. I remember doing this years ago when i used ableton more, but i forgot how. Any help would be appreciated.

ya i just found it. thank. its greyed out for the dam sample i made in logic. Why would i not be able to loop something..... I have been having trouble getting logic stuff into ableton without hiccups or it not fitting somehow. Somehow it never loops right. Logics sounds are so much better than abletons. but i prefer abletons layout. Trying to have the best of both worlds.

In Session view, clip view, 'warp' needs to be on as well in order to allow the 'loop' button to be used. In Arrange view, pull the loop brace over the section you want to loop and use the loop button on the top toolbar.
