Looping Regions

Regions can be continuously played back, by creating a number of loop repeats. These look like ghost versions of the original region, as that is essentially what they are— reflections of the source region.

As mentioned earlier, you can reduce or extend the length of any region by dragging the start or end point of the region (lower right or left corner). This has a direct impact on the length of the region, obviously, and also affects the length of all loops.

To loop a region, do one of the following:

1Select either the Pointer or Pencil tool, and place the cursor over the upper right corner of the desired region. Try this with the audio Apple Loop on the Audio 1 track.

The cursor will change to the Loop tool.

2Click-hold, and drag to the right, while keeping an eye on the help tag.

When the desired number of loop repeats have been created, release the mouse button. When you start playback, the region will repeat until the end of the last loop is reached.

To remove one or more loops:

mClick-hold on the top right edge of the last loop with the Pointer tool, and drag to the left.

To remove all loops:

mClick-hold on the top-right edge of the original region with either the Pencil or Pointer tool.

The help tag will display “Loop off,” and all loop ghost regions will disappear.
