Playing loops using the Loop Tuner

The Loop Tuner contains three playback buttons: Play Pre-Loop, Play Loop, and Play Post-Loop.

•Click the Play Pre-Loopbutton ( ) to start playback of a file from its beginning and stop playback at the loop start tag.

•Click the Play Loop button ( ) to start playback of the looped region. The number of times the loop plays is dependent upon the Loop count value in the Edit Sample dialog. Use this button to audition the loop for pops and glitches. For more information, see Creating a sustaining loop on page 220.

•Click the Play Post-Loopbutton ( ) to start playback immediately following the loop end point and continue through the end of the file.

Tip: You can use the Play as Sample button () in the playbar to audition the entire sample with configured loops.
