[RWP] Looping

Ok cool,

Thank you for that Indigo. I assumed Gold Fingers wanted to loop over a certain section of a song. I will give your method a go.

Thank you once again.

You can loop an item in Reaper by first making sure the item is exactly 
an even length, like 1, 2  or 4 measures, the most common loop lengths; 
because if it is a fractional length; like 2.0.1  it will drift out of 
sync with the rest of the music as it loops.
Okay, say you have a 2 measure item to loop, select the item with 
shift+A or ctrl+right arrow.
Then go to Item Properties; select to display the item length in beats.
Then multiply the item's length by a multiple; which will cause the item 
to loop that many times.
For instance, if the selected item is 2 measures in length, multiply its 
length shown in the length field by 10 and the item will loop 10 times.
You simply enter a new item length in the length field; then tab down to 
OK or whatever the confirmation is; hit enter.
It will occupy the new length on the time line, with the original 2 
measure item repeated 10 times.
Turn ctrl+R off, you don't need it to loop the item now.
The standard method to loop an item for sighted users is to grab the 
right end of the selected item with the mouse and stretch its length 
out; like stretching a rubber band;  to the desired amount.
This item length multiplication method in Item Properties does exactly 
the same thing.
