[RWP] Looping

[Chris Belle]

This was an imported file I had split in to a few items.

Just for gins, I did some manual de-essing by splitting out the sibalance parts of words, and lowering item volumes,
on the offending parts, I had that handy so I selected one of the items with control right or left arrows and pressed enter
and tabbed through item properties till I got to the beat and time settings and such, and 
lengthened
the time, and all it did was cause the volumes of the items down stream from the item I was working on to be messed up,
like caused a jerk in the amplitude,
so something is definitely going on, but no looping.
/But when I copy an item and paste it right next to it,
it repeats or loops just fine.

But it'd be nice to hear a loop so you can see if you got it right, like when processing a beat or some such.

Any thoughts?

  Chris,

  Was the source material you're trying to loop recorded in the same
  Reaper session? I've got a feeling that makes a difference to whether
  Indie's workflow will work.
