Tips for Making Selections for Loops
If you want to select the area between two beats for looping, there are some tricks that
make it a little easier:
•Make sure Snap to Marker is selected.
• You can show/hide Note Markers by clicking the button in the toolbar, or by
right-clicking the horizontal ruler, and selecting Show Note Markers.
• You can show/hide grid lines by clicking the button in the toolbar, or by
selecting Show Grid from the Display menu.
• If you want to select the length of a single beat (or a single measure if you’re
zoomed out), hold Ctrl on your keyboard while clicking a beat marker. The
region between the beat you clicked and the next beat is selected. You can also
right-click a beat marker and choose Select to accomplish the same thing.
• If you want to select an entire measure, zoom out until the individual beat
markers disappear and you can only see the markers for first beat of each
measure (1:1,2:1, etc.), then hold Ctrl on your keyboard while clicking the Beat
Marker .
You can make as many loops as you want and use them for several purposes (which
will be explained in further detail later). Loops can overlap, or include the entire
sample.
If you make more than one loop within a sample:
• Select loops using the Loop # box above the sample display.
The currently selected loop displays yellow markers.
• You can view the markers associated with each loop by selecting the loop
number from the toolbar.
• The loops are numbered in accordance to time, from left to right. This means
Loop 1 always has the left-most start point. If you add a new loop before an
existing loop, Loop numbers are re-aligned.
• To delete the currently selected loop, select Delete Current Loop from the
Sample Loop menu.
• To delete all loops in the sample, select Delete All Loops from the Sample Loop
menu.
The currently
selected loop appears
with gray markers. The
rest of your loops appear
with yellow markers.
