You can adjust the start and end points of the loop during playback by
modifying your selection, as discussed in Lesson 7. By dragging the
corresponding In/Out Points in the Timeline Rulers, for example, you can
resize your loop on either side. The loop will immediately play back from
the start of the selection after you make an adjustment.

Using the Edit Modes
As you learned in Lesson 2, Pro Tools provides four Edit modes: Shuffle,
Spot, Slip, and Grid. The Edit modes affect the movement and placement of
audio and MIDI clips, the results of commands such as Copy and Paste, and
the functions of the Edit tools. You will find each Edit mode useful for
different purposes while editing your sessions.
