[RWP] help with looping in reaper

[Indigo]

After specifying the area you want to loop; I'd cut it and paste it onto 
another track.
Then I'd select it as an item; then go to item properties, tab down to 
length; and specify lentth as beats.
Then tab up to the edit box and read the length of the area you want to 
loop.
To loop nicely, it hopefully will be an even number of beats.
Like; if it's 4.00 beats; you get the same effect as stretching the loop 
with the mouse by multiplying the original loop lentth.
For instance, if you typed in a new length of 480.00 beats, the loop 
would repeat 12 times.
Just type in a new multiple representing the number of times you want 
the loop to repeat.
After typing in the new loop length, tab down to apply and okay and hit 
enter.
In reaper, this method; or stretching the apparent loop length with the 
mouse, isn't actually placing the original loop again and again onto the 
time line; it is just repeating play of the original loop length.
