<DIV><BR></DIV>You can loop an item in Reaper by first making sure the item is
exactly <BR>an even length, like 1, 2 or 4 measures, the most common
loop lengths; <BR>because if it is a fractional length; like 2.0.1 it
will drift out of <BR>sync with the rest of the music as it loops.<BR>Okay,
say you have a 2 measure item to loop, select the item with <BR>shift+A or
ctrl+right arrow.<BR>Then go to Item Properties; select to display the item
length in beats.<BR>Then multiply the item's length by a multiple; which will
cause the item <BR>to loop that many times.<BR>For instance, if the selected
item is 2 measures in length, multiply its <BR>length shown in the length
field by 10 and the item will loop 10 times.<BR>You simply enter a new item
length in the length field; then tab down to <BR>OK or whatever the
confirmation is; hit enter.<BR>It will occupy the new length on the time line,
with the original 2 <BR>measure item repeated 10 times.<BR>Turn ctrl+R off,
you don't need it to loop the item now.<BR>The standard method to loop an item
for sighted users is to grab the <BR>right end of the selected item with the
mouse and stretch its length <BR>out; like stretching a rubber band; to
the desired amount.<BR>This item length multiplication method in Item
Properties does exactly <BR>the same thing.<BR>Indi<BR><BR><BR>On 8/31/2013

[RWP] Looping<BR>><BR>> How does one go about properly looping a
section? I have highlighted the item that I would like to loop, I also turn on
loop but it still doesn't loop.<BR>> What other steps are necessary to loop
an item?<BR>> And can you have one track looping while you record on
another? Kind of like a drum machine?<BR>><BR>><BR>>
