Quick way to extend a clip?

Post by rbro » Tue Dec 16, 2008 1:43 am

Let's say I have a 4 bar loop of a synth pad and I want to extend that to 64 bars, is there a quick/easy way to do that rather than have that same 8 bar clip loop 8 times?

1. select the bracket of your loop
2. ctr c / cmd c
3. press the up arrow on your keypad to move the bracket to the next 4 bars or whataver snap value you have set
4. ctr v / cmd v to paste

5. repeat steps 3 & 4 as many times as you want
6. set you new loop values (start, length) or manual adjust the looop bracket

hehe, you can actually do it even more easy

1. select the bracket of your loop
2. ctr d / apple d
3. repeat step 2 as many times as you want
4. drag the start of the loop bracket back to the first beat
