looping question

Post by robert che » Sat Mar 18, 2006 5:23 pm

I have done a search and I am sure I have seen this asked before.

Is there any way you can set two loop points on a single track or sample? Say you want to loop the beginning of a sample or song and then you want to loop the sample or song toward the end. Is this possible? I always have to do it manually and it would be nice to have two loop points per track/sample.

Thanks.

in clip view there's the start loop, end loop, loop location and loop length.
start loop - where the clip starts from
end loop - where the loop ends, if it doesn't loop
loop location - if the clip loops this is where that loop starts, can be different than start loop
loop length - how long the loop is if loop is on.

the overall difference is whether loop is on or off on the clip.


OR use two samples and FOLLOW MODE (read the manual.) One sample is the first part of the loop, the next is the end loop, they just FOLLOW each other back and forth.

OR just play the loop manually and bounce it to another track.
